Elizabethton

The town of Elizabethton is as unique as it's name and is a mixture of old and new.  The Cruise-In every Saturday night from April through October takes you back to a time when muscle cars and rock-n-roll were all the rage.  Elizabethton is surrounded by views of the mountains and has some of the best fishing spots in the nation.  The people are so friendly it makes you think you have gone back in time.  There is no shortage of churches, as Elizabethton has over 50 and you're bound to find the right one for you.  For a small town, it has the necessary shopping conveniences and is only a short 15 minute drive to Johnson City.  The Tri-Cities airport is convenient so you don't have to fly out of Nashville.  There are several good restaurants and coffee lovers will enjoy the Coffee Company with gourmet food, delicious desserts and great tasting coffee.   Once you come to visit, you will want to become a permanent resident.

From customers: "Hi Jim!! Yep, we are still checking on all your referrals.  We did go see this one, but it is rather small.  We are definitely, positively wanting in Shadowood.  Again, thanks ever so much for continuing emails on properties.  We so appreciate it as still new here, not sure of anything, and gullible to a point, having someone who continues to help us is beyond our expectations.  Not one other soul that we have talked to in the past, or are referred to us by friends, and 'helpers' has, in some cases, even returned our calls.  Again, we so appreciate your time and effort. Regards, Ann

" Hello Jim,   It's been awhile since we've been in touch. We appreciate all your help and your faithfulness in sending us potential homes. You have done more for us than any other agent we've worked with in the past.   And Bill & I are expecting our first baby!!! Just found out 2 wks ago. So, life is a little crazy!!   Again, thanks for all your help Jim.   With much gratitude, Lisa & Bill

"Thank you for your quick reply, Jim.  Nice work.  I will review these, and forward them on to my relatives.  I appreciate your comments on the general background of the situation, also. Best regards, James"
