Exhibit A
Mortgage Brokers work in Athens
Athens is a small market with a steady flow of mortgage work. The demand comes from people buying a home in the city and the surrounding county, from refinancing, and from buyers moving in from elsewhere in Georgia. Searches for mortgage help in Athens are modest in volume, which means the firms that publish clear pages about local lending tend to be the ones people find. The competition is a mix of local brokerages and national lenders with Athens landing pages. The searches are specific: people look for a broker near a particular part of town, for help with a certain kind of loan, or for answers about the buying process in Georgia.
