In a word: Me But because you probably need to know a little more than that, I'll elaborate. There are usually two agents involved in getting a real estate transaction to closing, the listing agent and the selling agent. Also known as the seller's agent and the buyer's agent respectively (I know...

There are a couple of forms that I always have buyers sign before making an offer (because the Tennessee Real Estate Commission makes me, not because I like paperwork). I usually start explaining what these mean and I see eyes start to glaze over. Nobody wants to hear it. But. They. Should. Liste...

One of them had a carriage house of sorts with a garage on the basement level, a workshop area on the ground level and then an apartment on the ...

This sign makes me smile every time I drive by it. Which is quite a lot since it's close to my boy's school. I mean, who doesn't love chopped weiners with their pit bar-b-q?   You can find this sign and lots of other great old places driving down MLK between Palmetto & Georgia
