nashville real estate: Where's my sign
- 01/12/09 03:16 AM
Nashville real estate - I stopped by my listing in Hendersonville over the weekend to add some flyers to my flyer box, and the box was gone, along with my Keller Williams sign. I'm pretty careful to meet all of the city regulations on signs, so I was somewhat surprised.
Just in case, I went to the Hendersonville police station where signs are taken when they don't meet guidelines, and a lot of signs were on hand, but not mine. So I'm still not sure why or who has decided that my sign and flyer box needed to disappear, but it did not make me happy. To top … (12 comments)

nashville real estate: What's a click worth?
- 01/07/09 09:25 AM
Keller Williams Franklin Tn - Technology Training class 10, Jan 8, 2009
What's a click worth? If you don't have a system in place to capture clients, it's worth a little more than nothing. But if you have the bait to keep the potential customer on your web site or blog, using your tools, and searching for homes, maybe a lot.
What do I mean by a lot? I mean that in November I had 153 unique visitors to Nashvillerealestatelink.com (I was not happy with that number). 2 of those visitors (both strangers to me) closed on a home in December (I was very … (5 comments)

nashville real estate: Marketing Nashville real estate on a national level
- 12/05/08 06:30 AM
Nashville real estate - I have had more phone calls, e-mails, text messages, and contracts from strangers about Nashville and Franklin real estate, than from my sphere of influence for the first time in my career. Most of these people are from other states, but all have the same thing in common. The want to purchase Nashville real estate, and they found me, or my listings on the web. either from my blogs, or my websites.
I have to admit, that I was a non-believer at first. I really didn't think that this environment would really generate many Nashville real estate … (4 comments)

nashville real estate: I want trees with my Nashville Homes
- 12/02/08 08:11 AM
Nashville real estate - I have a client who was transferred here from Oregon, and when they picked out several homes to view, none seemed special, or even similar. I'm a pretty quick guy, but this one had me stumped. But I didn't say anything until we had looked at a couple, and then I asked my questions.
Why did you like the house? It had trees in the back. I can't have a house without mature trees. OK, this is unusually for the Nashville customers I've had in the past. Most like trees, but they don't use it as a … (4 comments)

nashville real estate: Will you help me find my Agent
- 12/01/08 12:32 PM
Nashville real estate - I talked to a lady over the weekend who will need to sell her home in Nashville soon, in preparations for moving out of state. After the typical questions about the commission rates, and how many homes I had sold in Nashville, how was the market,what's her house worth, you know the usual stuff. She hits me with this.
Can you help me find my agent?
What do you mean? The agent who helped me buy this home she says. Does she send you post cards? no. Does she ever call you just to stay in touch? … (28 comments)

nashville real estate: Nashville real estate - After Foreclosure
- 11/26/08 12:45 PM
Nashville - I met with some very nice people tonight who wanted my help. For now, all I can give them is advice. Early this year , they lost a home to a foreclosure. The home they had was in a good area, they had bought it new and had it for 3 years before losing it. The reason they lost it was because they had an ARM with payments that had almost doubled.
They had come to me was in hopes of a lease/purchase on one of the new homes I have listed in Spring Hill. I haven't seen … (4 comments)

nashville real estate: Are you winding down for the holidays
- 11/20/08 02:58 PM
Nashville real estate - I've noticed that my office seems to be running at a different pace lately, and the customers I talk to that were waiting on the election, are now talking about the holidays. Just what you need is another excuse to wait.
The fact of the matter is that some people look at this as the perfect time to pick up a great deal on Nashville real estate. With less traffic, the good homes stay on the market just a little longer, and might be available for a little better price. The bad ones are always available.
Some … (3 comments)

nashville real estate: Nashville real estate buyers are back
- 11/05/08 03:20 AM
Nashville real estate - Most realtors in the Nashville area will tell you that having an open house when the Titans are playing in Nashville is usually going to make for a boring afternoon. But Sunday was a surprise. The Titans did win the game in overtime against a very good Green Bay team, and once again Kerry Collins was able to keep the chains moving at the end of the game when they needed it the most. The running game for the Titans continues to be the foundation of the offense, and the defense is just playing great every week. … (0 comments)

nashville real estate: Are you out of gas in Nashville? Here is why
- 09/22/08 10:11 AM
Why is nashville having gas problems?
According to the news, here is what I've read.
AAA Middle Tennessee district manager Jim Blott says we should be back to normal by the end of the week, maybe. The Hurricanes disrupted our supply he says.
But the rest of the story is more important, and why we are the only ones with this problem.
Complicating local supply matters is an Environmental Protection Agency mandate that a five-county Mid-State region that includes Davidson County use specially-blended, low-emission "boutique" gasoline. The reason is to improve on the region's poor air quality, Blott says, adding the … (5 comments)

nashville real estate: Solar Panels - What's the Payback
- 09/22/08 03:21 AM
Does it make sense for homeowners to invest in solar power? The Nashville newspaper had an article yesterday that shows the interest that some homeowners have in generating electricity by installing solar panels on the roof of their homes. Also mentioned was the fact that the return on investment is very poor. In Nashville, It would take at least 15 years of savings to pay for the expense.
For Nashville real estate, it's not the best way to spend your money.
I would really like to find a cheap way to conserve energy, and I think those days are coming. But … (4 comments)

nashville real estate: Shrink the inventory - Housing starts down
- 09/17/08 05:10 AM
August housing starts were down to 854,000 according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 35 percent lower than August 2007, and 53 percent lower than the 1,800,000 of August 2006. While the national news media is all over this with negative tones, I would like to point out that we still have more inventory that we can easily sell. And the only way to catch up, is to stop flooding the market with new inventory. This is a step in the right direction.
I believe that when the election is over, and we know where we are headed … (2 comments)

nashville real estate: Stars buy nice homes in Nashville
- 09/12/08 10:38 AM
Nashville real estate - In Nashville, and especially in Brentwood, we get a lot of country music fans driving around looking for the home of their favorite star. It's probably no surprise that the most expensive Nashville Real Estate sold for personal use this year is a $5.45 million dollar home in Forest hills, just North of Brentwood. The buyer? Kix and Barbara Brooks.
But don't expect to drive by and take a look. It's in the gated community of Bancroft, just down the road from the home that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman used before their marriage. Gated community being … (0 comments)

nashville real estate: Price vs Rates - When do you pull the trigger
- 09/09/08 06:56 AM
Nashville real estate - What do buyers think about when they are trying to budget for a home purchase? I'm confused myself, because buyers get hammered by the media about how home prices are going down, and the bottom is here, or not here, depending on who is talking.
The media doesn't talk about rates, but the reality is that rates on 30 year fixed rate mortgages are down about 10 percent compared to just a few weeks ago. And that's with not having to shop around, or deal with multiple offers.
When I talk to buyers in Brentwood and Green Hills, they … (2 comments)

nashville real estate: TItans foil open house - But win the Game
- 09/07/08 03:11 PM
Nashville real estate - If you plan an open house when the Titans are playing, be prepared for a slow day. It was a beautiful day to do anything except have an open house, I know the Titans won, so that's good for Nashville, but my client needs to sell. We did have a couple of families stop by, but the men seem very distracted, and didn't seem to have any real interest (maybe they wanted a TV).
It's just the life of a realtor in football country.
