nashville real estate: Selling Homes in the Winter Cold
- 01/02/08 10:12 PM
I have a question from my friends in colder climates. Do you do anything different when the weather gets really cold? I'm looking at my portable weather station and it's 11 degrees in Nashville.
I may have to show property today, and I have nine Nashville real estate listings that may be shown at any time. My first thought is that most people will wait a few days for better weather, but I know I'm probably wrong.
What can you do for customers to take advantage of the cold?

nashville real estate: Jazz is alive in Nashville
- 01/01/08 02:18 PM
Most people know that Nashville is the music city, and most people know that country music is the most common association for music in Nashville. The big surprise is that Jazz and blues are also becoming a big part of the Nashville music scene. The Labor day Jazz festive at Riverfront park brings in National Jazz stars and fans to downtown Nashville every year.
Artists like George Benson, Patti Austin, and Jane Monheit, perform at the fantastic Schermerhorn symphony center, to sold out crowds. The historic Ryman auditorium brings in great acts like B.B King and Herbie Hancock to perform for … (4 comments)

nashville real estate: Is the year really over
- 12/30/07 09:06 AM
Sitting in my open house at 1063 Golf View way, on a warm sunny day, it just doesn't seem possible that the year is over. Big changes happened this year. I was married on Feb 12, I moved to Keller Williams in the spring, I designed a new Nashville Real Estate website to increase the exposure of my clients properties,and I started blogging in the summer, to learn everything I could about inproving my marketing skills.
All of those changes will allow me to focus on my Nashville real estate customers, and deliver a much higher level of service.
With the changes I've made, anything but a … (6 comments)

nashville real estate: Golf and real estate, can they co-exist?
- 12/27/07 11:37 PM
My long days of selling Nashville real estate seems to be a never ending battle, and looking ahead to 2008, I don't see a lot of breaks in the action, so I did something over the Christmas holidays that I had never done, or even considered. I went on vacation to another state, South Carolina to be exact. Why South Carolina? I'm a golfer, and most serious golfers know that coastal Carolina has some of the best golf courses in the country.
While driving though the low country along the ocean, A thought came to me that maybe I should have … (8 comments)

nashville real estate: Granite more important than Hardwoods?
- 12/21/07 03:45 AM
Granite or Hardwoods
An article in the local Nashville Newspaper stated that homes without Granite counter tops are much less likely to sell in most upscale communities. The price ranges for these upscale communities in the Nashville area are $300,000 and up. It seems that instead of dropping the prices on homes, some sellers are adding Bling. Does it work? FOr Nashville real estate, sometimes. Granite cannot overcome a bad location, or a bad floor plan, but it can make the kitchen look great. Sometimes comparable homes are close enough that just one thing will make the difference in a sale.

nashville real estate: Christmas is a forced vacation
- 12/17/07 11:39 PM
I don't know about the rest of the real estate community, but for me, Nashville doesn't seem to be interested in real estate around Christmas time. Even my online traffic seems to disappear.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to generate business during the Holiday season? I'm sure that I'm not the only person here who's interested.

nashville real estate: Builders bringing down the neighborhood
- 12/15/07 09:41 AM
I noticed an article in the paper today where a homeowner wants to sue his builder because he bought a home last year for $200,000 more than the same house is being priced today by his builder.
I'm not a judge, but I've got to believe that that no builder is required to fix prices. Nashville real estate has been very consistant, so we haven't seen much of that from builders. How are other areas doing?

nashville real estate: Nashville real estate - Stress Management
- 12/08/07 01:45 PM
I have some buyers who say they want to buy Nashville Real Estate. We look at homes that meet their criteria, and they can't decide what they want to do. We have so many homes that are for sale, that they are just not in a hurry to make up their minds. Just as I start to stress, I remember what one of my realtor friends told me to do when I've had a rough day, it's a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological texts.
The funny thing is that it really works... 1. Picture yourself near a stream. … (15 comments)

nashville real estate: Home Inspections on New Construction houses
- 11/29/07 07:05 AM
Nashville real estate - Do most realtors advise their clients to hire a home inspector for new construction homes? Here in Tennessee, I would say that most do not. I personally do, because many of the problems that I've seen with Nashville real estate over the years have actually been in place since the home was new.
As Michael Thornton says in his blog, http://activerain.com/blogsview/289845/11-Month-Warranty-Inspections, you can save a lot of money by have a new home inspected before your warranty period is over. Even if you didn't have it inspected before closing. A lot of Nashville Real Estate is new construction, … (4 comments)

nashville real estate: Had Enough
- 11/12/07 06:17 AM
Ever had one of the days where you know your internal organs are about to explode. Your blood pressure is so high that everything looks red. When your home inspector mentions that the 3 year old HVAC unit seems to be fine, but needs to be checked by an expert, and the buyer thinks that's a good reason for the seller to buy a new one.
Or you been in negotiation with a listing agent for a week, and you are 1 percent apart, and the buyer decides they don't want the house anymore. And it's the only one in the … (9 comments)

nashville real estate: Basement uses
- 11/09/07 01:22 AM
In my previous post I mentioned that some people (mostly men) my age tend to accumulate expensive toys that we cherish. Leaving them out in the cold damp weather where anything can happen could keep you awake at night. That's where a good custom built home with a basement comes in.
I suggest that you build a home that make the basement part of the living space. A full bath, game room,heating and cooling, and either painted concrete, or tile. Security systems are a must in this environment. Remember that you want this to be an attractive alternative to a bonus room, as well as … (16 comments)

nashville real estate: What about a basement
- 11/08/07 02:24 AM
Nashville real estate - What about a basement
I've noticed that a lot of people my age need additional garage space. As we get older, we accumulate grown up toys, and most are too valuable to leave outside for anyone with a pickup truck to take away. The Nashville real estate market doesn't have enough homes with basements and or expanded garages to take care of the demand. That's just my opinion from what I've sen in the past. i know that cost is a big factor, but somewhere the demand has to generate activity on the supply side.
