selling: Are we prospecting OR harassing?

As in other markets, we have ‘hot’ areas in our area where properties sell quickly. Even older properties which have no modern updating can sell quickly because of the location and the possibility of teardown or subdividing.
We recently sent a ‘just sold’ postcard to an area around one sold listing. We got a call from the granddaughter of an owner who said that her grandfather is being harassed by Realtors, who knock on his door, asking him to list and sell. He is being bothered so, that even a piece of mail, like our postcard, makes him think that … (12 comments)
selling: Staging? Too much of a good thing?

As we know, staging, or organizing a home's furnishings to show off its best features, can take ordinary and ugly spaces and turn them into beautiful and appealing places.

Nashville TN is an exciting city with many things to do. There are many restaurants, several colleges and universities, and sports. Sports include professional football (Titans), hockey (Predators), and baseball (Nashville Sounds).
A special niche is seniors who want to downsize. We can talk to you confidentially and share knowledge and ideas on how to proceed. We have a network of cleaners, painters, gardeners, and handy people.
We never rush our clients to make a decision, as we work on your schedule, not ours. We can refer you to private lenders, mortgage lenders, and other vendors in the area. And, of course, we never accept a fee for the referral to a vendor or lender. Even though vendors come highly recommended to us, or we have had personal experience with their work, you should always interview them and get other references and come to your own comfort level with them before contracting.
