A Man I am Proud to Call My Son - 01/28/12 12:11 AM
My son, Jeremy, is a competitive swimmer. It was just four short years ago, he began this journey. His stroke looked terrible when he first began swimming competitively. He looked as though he were going to drown as he flailed around in the water.
My husband and I were certain he would give up after that first practice. But we had decided that if he wanted to quit, we wouldn't let him. We felt it would send the wrong message--that when things got difficult in life, it's okay to quit.
Jeremy didn't quit. He decided to continue swimming even … (12 comments)

Is Your Real Estate Agent a Problem Solver? - 01/27/12 09:17 PM
Is Your Real Estate Agent a Problem Solver?
I currently have a listing that has a Temco Ventless Fireplace. The fireplace was once connected to an exterior propane tank. However, the seller had the tank disconnected and removed several years ago.
Along comes a buyer who likes the idea of buying a home with a fireplace. He wants some assurance that the unit does, in fact, work. The fireplace logs were working when it was disconnected but how do we prove that now? Hmm...
I suggest the home inspector bring a 20-lb propane tank to the home inspection to test … (16 comments)

What are Closing Costs and Pre-paids? - 01/27/12 08:30 AM
What are Closing Costs and Pre-paids?
You've done what you think is the hard part--found a home. You sit down with your Buyer's Agent to write an offer and you suddenly realize there's a lot more to buying a house than you thought.
The agent starts to ask you about the terms of the contract.
Terms? What are those?
Terms go far beyond just what you want to pay for a home. They include price, closing date, financing contingencies, appraisal contingencies, sale of home contingencies, and home inspection contingencies. These are just a few of the possible … (13 comments)

Incredible Franklin TN Sunset - 01/24/12 01:03 AM
Incredible Franklin TN Sunset
Weather in the Franklin TN area is moderate but our winter has been very warm this year. Yesterday it was sunny with temperatures in the low 50's. A beautiful day to be out previewing homes for several buyers looking for a new home in Franklin TN. Then, after a very successful day, I came home to this magnificent sunset. This photograph was taken while standing on my back porch.
If you would like to take advantage of this beautiful weather and enjoy incredible sunsets, contact Tammie White today at (615) 495-0752.

Who's Reading Your ActiveRain Blog? - 01/22/12 04:19 AM
Who's Reading Your ActiveRain Blog?
Yesterday, I received a comment in response to a post I'd written, Franklin TN Market Reports Get Lots of Clicks. This post addressed the record number of clicks I have received in just three weeks for a market report.
The comment: If most the views are from Realtors on ActiveRain, then what's the benefit?
I was a little surprised by this comment. It suggested that these clicks, 1,399 of them, were from other agents posting here on ActiveRain. I knew the clicks were not from ActiveRain members. How? You ask. By using simple math.

Getting More Buyers Through the Door - 01/19/12 04:31 PM
Getting More Buyers Through the Door
The other day while eating my lunch, I flipped on the TV. The HGTV show, Selling New York was on. This was my first occasion to watch this show.
I was immediately struck by the differences you see among listing agents in different parts of the country.
In that particular episode the listing agent had a $1.775M apartment he was looking to sell. The very first difference I noticed was that the listing agent had to be present for every showing. As a matter of fact, I never even saw a Buyer's Agent with … (13 comments)

Tonight, while surfing the net, my husband found the following video. It exemplifies that life isn't always about winning but doing what's right.
I hope you will take the time to watch this incredible story of two young girls who put aside their own desire to win to do what was right. Their act will never be forgotten by Sara Tucholsky.

How Do You Choose an ActiveRain Agent? Is it by Points or by Content? - 01/14/12 05:02 PM
How Do You Choose an ActiveRain Agent? Is it by Points or by Content? My primary reason for blogging is to bring myself business. That's why I started blogging and that's why I continue to blog.

Now, you will find me popping up for many of my longtail keywords--in most cases, on page one or two. Under the current point system, I am ranked #1 for my city, #3 for my county (Michael Thornton is #1 and I'll never catch him) and #8 … (22 comments)

What is a Mom to Do? - 01/08/12 08:36 PM
What is a Mom to Do?
Being a mom is the greatest calling I've ever known. I am so happy that God gave me the opportunity to have children. I have tried to honor that by always working really hard at being the best mom I can be. So when my oldest went off to college in the fall, it was very difficult to adjust. Not just for me but for her, as well.
You see, we are a home school family. As a result, we have grown very close. We have always done things together as a family. So it's … (16 comments)

Nothing is More Important Than Location, Location, Location
For the last several days, I have been working with out-of-town buyers. There are so many questions buyers have when they are relocating form one state to another.

We usually start out with a long wish list but when it comes down to it, nothing is more important than location, location location.
Where will you work? The more time you spend in your car commuting to work is less time to spend with your family. It's … (10 comments)

What is the Purpose of a Sign? To Sell the House or Attract Business to the Agent? - 01/05/12 07:03 PM
I use a variety of ways to attract buyers to my listings. Some of those methods include open houses, internet marketing, direct mail and signs. Yes, a sign in the yard can produce a sale. But what is the purpose of a sign? To sell the house or attract business to the agent? To be truthful, the answer is both. Agents hope the sign will bring in a potential buyer to the seller's home.
However, if that buyer does not find your home suitable, the listing agent hopes to gain a new buyer. My primary focus is to sell your … (65 comments)
