10.5 acres in College Grove - Williamson county real estate - 06/27/09 03:22 PM
Just listed - 10.5 acres of wooded seclusion on a quiet cul-de-sac. This property has city water, and a perk site for a 5 bedroom home. Just minutes from I-840 and I-65, it's currently zoned for highly regarded Williamson county schools. (Bethesda Elementary, Page middle school, and Page high school).
With the golf course developments of Stillwater and Laurel Cove just down the road, this area should be a great investment in the near future. The I-65 expansion is scheduled for 2011, and the areas around southern Williamson county should renew it's growth.
Priced at $299,900.

Texting is more dangerous than drinking - 06/26/09 09:28 PM
  As strange as it sounds, drunk driving is not as dangerous as texting while driving. And I mean really drunk, more than anyone would ever think is safe. Car and Driver did a full test with 2 different drivers to see what would happen after drinking half a bottle of Vodka compared to texting while sober on a straight road at 70 miles per hour. Here is what happens under emergency braking
The results:
Unimpaired: .54 seconds to brake Legally drunk: add 4 feet Reading e-mail: add 36 feet Sending a text: add 70 feet here is the full story from … (9 comments)

Keller Williams Personal Websites and SEO - 06/26/09 08:09 PM
Some of us at the Keller Williams Franklin office have been working for months on ways to improve our internet lead generation, and I think the results for some of us have been fairly impressive, and for others, not so much. It takes a lot of work and knowledge to generate internet leads, adn then convert them to actual pay checks.
One of the things that's very difficult to teach, at least for me, is SEO (search engine optimization), so that google will find you when people are looking for real estate. Keller Wiliams has put together a document on their website that … (7 comments)

Just a little fun - 06/26/09 07:31 PM

 The roads in Williamson county are full of bike riders right now. Between them, deer, turkey, and a slow moving turtle or two, I really try my best to pay attention on the backroads.

Will Nashville real estate ever be More Affordable? - 06/25/09 07:53 PM
Nashville- In our session with Gary Keller yesterday, he reminded us that the affordability index was at it's lowest point in history. Meaning that for the median income family, the median price home used only 18 percent of their monthly income. I am aware that this number is not accurate in any one area, but averaged across the nation. It may actually be lower here in Nashville.
The fact is that we may never see interest rates this low again, and prices are not going down any more. It would not be unreasonable to think that interest rates could go as … (1 comments)

Nashville - It's a great time of year for all kinds of wildlife in middle Tennessee. I had to come to a complete stop yesterday because a yearling doe was standing in the middle of a state highway, and would not move, even when I was blowing the horn.

It's the #$%#& Price - 06/22/09 10:03 PM
Nashville Real Estate - I'll give away my secret right now on how to get your listings sold.
Anybody want to guess?
It's not the marketing, I can put homes on so many internet sites at one time that I can't even keep track. I have multiple blogs that have every listing on it, usually more than once. Pictures help, without them it's impossible to get any buyers to look at the house. So take a lot of pictures, use the best ones, and throw the rest away. Even with all of this, the house may just sit for months.
It's not … (6 comments)

Westhaven Has the Best Neighborhood Pool in Franklin Tn - 06/21/09 10:41 AM
Westhaven Has the Best Neighborhood Pool in Franklin - I had someone ask me this question yesterday, and I really didn't even have to think about it. In my opinion, based on the pool areas that I've seen (I'm sure I've seen them all), Westhaven has the best community pool in Franklin. I would even say that Westhaven has the best pool area in Nashville.
Tske a  look at these pictures, and understand that Westhaven has a pool for adults, and then right next door, you have this amazing water park with sprinklers, slides, and shallow areas for children.

Cramer Called the Bottom of the Real Estate Market - He Was Wrong - 06/19/09 09:44 PM
Jim Cramer said earlier this week that the real estate market had hit bottom, and would be moving up now. In Nashville, the bottom was January. Real Estate sales have increased steadily every month, and now it looks like the buyers who were sitting on the fence, are going to have to pay for higher interest rates, and probably higher prices. The selection of homes in the lower price ranges is very thin right now and I don't expect it to get better.

Keller Williams Technology class - 06/18/09 10:59 PM
Franklin Tn - Today  Mike Nastri made an attempt to teach a class on building a keller williams website that will capture internet leads using tools that are no additional expense. I tried to help, but due to the fact that everone seemed to be at a different level of technical experience it was quit a challenge. Throw in someone with a MAC, and then it gets interesting. We were able to at least get everyone setup on the Wolfnet IDX search and capture, but so much more needs to be done. We hope to continue with the class next Tuesday.

Just a little color to brighten up your Wednesday. This was taken in Augusta Georgia 2 years ago and the practice round for the Masters golf tournament. Pictures or words cannot describe the beauty of the trees flowers and grounds of this place. Bobby Jones would be very proud of what they have done.

Technology Workshop Franklin TN June 16th - 06/17/09 09:47 AM
Franklin TN - Our weekly technology workshop was shortened a little by the monthly team meeting, however, we did manage to use all of our allowable 1.5 hours to help solve technology problems and answer questions of some of our agents.
The first thing I wanted to talk about was how and why you need to add neighborhood pages to your website, and to write blog posts on a regular basis about the neighborhoods you want to farm. It's easy, inexpensive, and effective. I used the post that I wrote about Tollgate as an example.

I Thought This Was A Buyers Market? - 06/15/09 09:17 AM
Franklin TN - I had on of those visitors at my open house yesterday. You know what I'm talking about. Didn't like anything about the property, she was just stopping in because she was in the area. The floor plan was all wrong, the neutral colors were too bland, the place was too clean for anyone to actually be living in it. The bedrooms were too big?
Then she pulls out the flyer and says, "I thought this was a buyer market".
I told her that the seller was asking the same price he paid 2 years ago, and at that … (2 comments)

Brentwood History - 06/14/09 09:11 AM
THis is something that I hope more people take the time to read. First of all Brentwood is a fairly new city, second of all, they have a lot of the same rules and guidelines that they started with, and are known for. The political leaders of Brentwood should be proud of what they have done, and other small towns need to follow their lead.

Do you need a bigger/better/faster website? - 06/07/09 10:36 AM
I get this question a lot in our technology workshop at Keller Williams in Franklin. I also like his method for getting test message alerts that you have a new prospect. I hadn't thought of that.

Via Joel McDonald -- www.AutomatedHomefinder.com:
Last week, I had two conversations with two different Realtors about systems they should use because their current website just isn't doing it for them.  Both agents seemed to think that the grass was greener on the other side of the web, and after a bit of discussion - I suggested that they both try an experiment for a month, … (6 comments)

Tennessee Bluebirds are one of my favorites to watch. Bugs don't have a chance when one of these guys are on the hunt. One thing is for sure. Camouflage is not part of their hunting arsenal or defense. You can see them from a long way off.

It takes of lot of time to get a home to the closing table. Here Lenn Harley goes through some of the actions that we realtors all face. I always have to keep myself from smilng when a client says that they can get someone to list their house for 1 percent. It's a sure way to pt yourself out of business.

This restored log cabin is located in Crockett park in Brentwood Tennessee. I don't believe that this is it's original location, but it's neat to see how far we have come in our construction of homes. After almost 200 years. it still looks like it's very livable.

Out for a day of fun. In the southern parts of Williamson county we have a lot of winding country roads with very little traffic on the weekends. Just watch out for the tractors and combines. A lot of car clubs use the roads for weekend outings. I had the pleasure of taking this picture one early Sunday morning last fall near arrignton. Everyone had a big smile on their face.
