Pinterest and the Sale of Your Nashville Home
I am hugely in love [read: obsessed] with Pinterest. As a visual learner, I love looking at all of the pictures of beautiful and interesting things.
One thing I have come to realize, though, is that it’s really the “quirky” or “custom” items that I am drawn to. You know, that wiener dog that looks like Chewbacca, or that gorgeous French blue and gold wedding cake.
Then there are the super cool house features, like the subterranean wine room done in a unique way or a café inspired wet bar.

the lipman group sothebys international realty: Vote in the Presidential Election 2012!
- 11/06/12 07:05 AM
Vote in the Presidential Election 2012!
For those of you who know me, you know that I vote as an "Independent". In Presidential Elections and other elections, I vote for whomever I feel is going to best lead this country, state, county or city.
In today's Presidential Election, I voted for Romney. Four years ago I voted for Obama.
I have heard a LOT of opinions on my [non] stance. I truly would vote as a Libertarian if I thought that a Libertarian could win a Presidential Election. But we seem stuck with the two party system. I believe in … (0 comments)

Selling Your Nashville Home? 7 Steps To Staging On A Tight Budget
Home staging is generally the process of making your home appear like a "Model Home". It’s extremely effective and it can definitely expedite selling your Nashville home. However, many homeowners are apprehensive when it comes to staging out of fear that it will cost them an arm and a leg to hire a professional. Rightfully so, a professional home stager can cost anywhere from $100 for just basic recommendations up to $3000 + for in-depth staging services. If you don’t have that cash to spend, you can easily and … (3 comments)

3 Cosmetic Improvements to Make to Your Home Before Selling
1. Kitchen
Ah the kitchen. The central hub of any home. And the kitchen is the best room to improve. Re-paint or replace those old cabinets, put in a granite countertop, change out the old tile or vinyl for new tile or vinyl. A fresh coat of paint will also go a long way. Replace old knobs for newer ones, splurge on a new faucet and don't forget those light fixtures as well! To go all out on improving the kitchen, replace the old appliances with new stainless steel appliances. These are the #1 … (2 comments)

February 2011 Home Sales Decrease, Median Prices Increase
According to the Greater Nashville Association of Realtors (GNAR) there was a 13.3% decrease in home sales in February (in comparison to last year's February home sales).
There was a glimmer of hope for median home sale prices: the median price for a single family residence in the greater Nashville area increased $10,000 when compared to February 2010.
Not such good news for condos, which declined by $17,950 when compared to February 2010.
To me this is fatiguing news. It's really rough out there in the real estate market for sellers.

I Got a Laugh from Zillow Today
Today I had an email in my inbox from Zillow. It read "Your Zestimate has increased 1.1%". I opened up the email and immediately started laughing out loud - yes, folks, I was lol-ing all over the place!
Zillow proclaimed to me that my house was now worth $190k.
Now, being a very realistic real estate agent, I know what the value of my home is worth.
I did not buy a beautiful house in a new neighborhood. I followed the rule of real estate and bought the "worst house on the best street … (9 comments)

Oak Hill to Provide Recycling Pick-Up
It has finally happened! Oak Hill has partnered with Earth Savers to pick up trash and recycling.
Having moved from Green Hills to Oak Hill, I was shocked to learn that there was no option for recycling in Oak Hill. In Green Hills, Metro had provided as many containers as someone wanted in order to be able to recycle. They would not recycle glass, but everything else was a go.
For the past four years since I moved into Oak Hill, I have been hauling my recycling (which is a substantial amount as I … (1 comments)
