Cherokee County Board of Commissioners

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners is looking at efforts to keep trash off the county’s roads and highways. District 1 Commissioner Steve West introduced an ordinance amendment at the Jan. 5 meeting that would require commercial trash transfer trucks to ensure their trucks are completely covered.

“This would force large tractortrailer trucks coming out of the landfill to roll their tarps back up and to cover their trailers,” West said. “A lot of the trash you see up and down the highways is caused by the trucks not covering their trailers after leaving the landfill.”

West made a motion to call for a public hearing at the Feb. 2 meeting. It was seconded by District 3 Commissioner Benny Carter, and passed with a 5-0 vote. Commissioners also:

• Approved a request by ZP Group, LLLP to rezone 11.63 acres at 7595 Highway 92 and 100 Queens Way from R-40 and Light Industrial to General Commercial and RM-16 (Multi-Family Residential) for a mixed use development of commercial and residential apartments. The Board also approved the request for concurrent variances related to reducing the front setback to 25 feet and to allow a 25-foot wide planted evergreen screening/transition buffer between dissimilar zoning districts. • Approved appointing Commissioner Corey Ragsdale to the position of vice chair. • Heard Commissioner Richard Weatherby make the following appointments: Loriann

He Specializes in Our City

If you heard the rumor that Mr. Woodstock can be seen on street corners, it’s true. He’s not ashamed of it. He won’t deny it.

In fact, he encourages it by placing a 2-foot cutout of himself in neighborhoods throughout the city, pointing potential buyers to houses he has listed for sale.

He’s also been known to turn cartwheels (well, we’re using that term loosely) while proclaiming “Mr Woodstock will do cartwheels to get your house sold.” You can watch that video on the Mr. Woodstock Facebook page.

While Dana Possick admits he likes to have fun, he stresses that he is purely professional when it comes to helping his clients buy or sell a home, even if it means knocking on doors to make it happen.

Mr. Woodstock Is a Consultant

After 20 years in the business, 18 of them in Woodstock, Possick has gotten to know the area very well. In his quest to find clients their perfect homes, he’s been known to scour neighborhoods and even knock on doors.

Mr. Woodstock works with a team of professionals who are just as dedicated to providing the same level of service to Woodstock residents.

“With our buyers, we work as consultants to find them the best home and the best deal. We can help you buy any house in town. We’re on your side and want to help you find the best deal,” Possick said.

Currently, it’s a seller’s market, he said. Many people would sell if they knew they had another home to move into. That’s where Mr. Woodstock comes in: He will help sellers find a buyer while making sure their next step is an exciting one: moving into the home of their dreams.

For the seller, Possick’s marketing techniques are so effective, he’s been a top producer each of the 20 years of his career. “My listings sell lightning fast, and also for top dollar,” he said.

For the buyer, Possick works diligently to determine the type of home the client wants, and stops at nothing to find that home.

“I treat my clients like family,” he said. “I work more like a coach or consultant for my buyers, and I guide my sellers through the process of preparing their homes and help set the stage for a successful sale. I then assist them through the entire transaction, from the beginning to the end and beyond.”

Mr. Woodstock will do cartwheels to get a house sold. Mr. Woodstock Knows Woodstock

Possick describes himself as a true market area specialist who has created a synergy that isn’t found often in real estate. By specializing, he said, he’s gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about neighborhoods, home styles, traffic patterns, sales trends, schools, parks, restaurants and other attractions in Woodstock.

“After years of practicing real estate in Woodstock, I’ve come to know nearly every single neighborhood. I’ve become one of those Realtors who others call to ask what’s coming on the market in various neighborhoods,” he said. “My goal is to be the first person anyone thinks of when they need to buy or sell real estate in Woodstock.”

Hence, the name Mr. Woodstock.

“I encourage anyone even thinking about buying or selling to contact me early,” he said. “It’s never too soon to consult an expert.”

Mr. Woodstock Has Experience

Possick came into the business with a bachelor of science in marketing from the State University of New York, and received his real estate license in 2001 and his broker’s license in 2004. He has earned the Cherokee Association of
