Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my profile.  My name is Bryan Lynchard with F1RST REALTY in Cookeville, TN.  I am a full-time Realtor and real estate investor with a focus on the Cookeville, Livingston, Sparta, Smithville, Gainesboro, and Crossville areas of the Upper Cumberland Plateau and Middle-TN.  Whether you are choosing to buy or sell, whether it be a new home, land, or investment property I want to be your Realtor.

SELLERS:  For my seller clients I focus on three key areas to get your property sold fast and for top dollar.

1.  Providing superior advertising for your property.  This is done through a variety of media, both print and online, both locally and nationally.  All of my listings go in BOTH the Upper Cumberland MLS and the Middle-TN/Nashville MLS.  Additionally, listings of $100,000 or more will also be placed in the East-TN/Knoxville MLS.  My listings are uploaded to 20+ websites with multiple listings on Realtor.com.  More advertising leads to more demand which leads to faster sales.

2.  Providing consistent, effective feedback and communication with my clients.  Too many people have told me that their previous Realtor never returned their calls, or that they just "put a sign in the yard and were never heard from again".  That's not me.  I WILL keep you updated with my marketing efforts and the status of you home.    Generally this is done by e-mail on a regular basis (at least once a week or every-other week).  Your phone calls will generally be returned the same day, or within 24 hours at the most.

3.  Unique/innovative marketing features.  These items may seem small, but the little details can really make a difference.  For example, it may be better to price your home at $200,000 rather than $199,900.  Why?  This method will make sure that internet searches will bring up your home whether someone searches for a $150,000 - $200,000 range or a $200,000 - $250,000 range.

BUYERS: My work for buyers includes much more than just finding that perfect new home.  I'm there with you all the way helping you find the best financing, insurance, home inspectors, closing agents and to review all of your closing costs to save you money.  Buying a new home can be an expensive and completed transaction, and I'll be there with you every step of the way.

In addition to being a Realtor, I'm also a real estate investor.  In the first nine months of 2007 alone I personally bought six houses.  Three of these have already been sold, and the other three are rented.  One of the houses had 5 acres with it that I am sub-dividing and selling as lots.  So, I like to think that I am an expert at buying and selling houses.  Of course, this expertise will be yours for the asking if you choose me to be your Realtor.

LENDERS:  I Buy Houses!!  Call me if you have a non-performing loan that you would like to get off your books.

A. Lewis - Cookeville, TN:  "Bryan did more to sell our house in the first two weeks of our listing than our previous agent did in six months."

R. Tatum - Cookeville, TN:  "Bryan... Thank you for all your help through this home buying process.  I couldn't have asked for better support and guidance.  Thanks for being patient with us and always being honest with us."

K. P. - Sparta, TN:  "Truthfully, we had a very bad experience working with a realtor and we were not considering working with another until a friend referred us to Bryan Lynchard of First Realty.  You could tell immediately after meeting him that he was honest and knowledgeable in both the real estate and investment areas.   After a few more conversations, we decided to "take our chances" with Bryan, and we were very pleased with our decision.  Not only did Bryan help us to get into one lovely home, but when we spoke with him regarding some additions we would need for more space, he realized the cost we would need to undertake such an endeavor and told us about another home he had.  We really didn't think we could ever find a home that could make us as happy as ours did, but we decided to take a look at the other house and after looking at it, we did something we never thought we would do after finding our home and made an offer on the other home as it was perfect for our needs, all due to Bryan's initiative and intuitive nature.  Bryan works quickly, returns your calls, and most importantly, seems to have a true knack of matching people with their homes rather than wasting both their time and his.  We would never think about going to another realtor for our needs, and I have referred anyone I know who is looking for a home to Bryan without worry.  He is hardworking, has honest ethics and has shown us not once, but twice, that we are able to trust him with all our real estate needs."
