nashville mls search: Timing the real estate market is like timing a Roulette table...
- 08/02/10 06:04 AM
You're in Vegas standing at a Roulette table and you see that the last 6 turns have landed on red. You throw $100 down on black. You cross your fingers and BOOM... It hits red again! "WHYYYYY???" "How could this happen to me??" "The odds were in my favor!!!". Sure they were in your favor but it just didn't happen. If you really break down real estate, what is it really? Real Estate in it's purist form is a dwelling, a place to rest, a shelter. With that being said, the best way to look at purchasing a new home is figuring … (7 comments)
All of us spend money on a daily basis. From groceries, to bills, to gas, to even buying a new home. If we had the choice, I am sure we would all want a portion of each dollar spent to go towards something we love. There aren't many (if any) grocery stores that will give 10% of your dollar spent back to your local church. There aren't many (if any) electric companies that will apply 10% of your paid bill towards your favorite charity. You don't always have control over what you HAVE to spend money … (0 comments)
nashville mls search: Should Realtors have to take the BAR exam?
- 07/27/10 07:23 AM
"Real Estate is not just about driving around and looking at pretty houses." ~ Stephen Strickhausen I am sure that most agents have learned that lesson from the beginning. Real Estate is about protecting your clients. Real Estate is about being better than the next guy/girl. Real Estate is about education... Just recently I got an offer on one of my listings. The buyer's agent is considered to be a top agent here in the Nashville area. The agent did a great job on negotiating and to be quite honest, tried to push us around. After all negotiations and binding agreement, … (3 comments)
nashville mls search: Nashville Short Sales (Don't go into foreclosure)
- 07/21/10 10:28 AM
Nashville Short Sales (Don't go into foreclosure) Nashville short sales are not going away anytime soon. This economy is tough. I have met many homeowners over the past couple of years that have seen the worst of times. These are GOOD people. These are people that pay their bills on time. These are people that have seen mid and high 700 credit scores. These are hard working families! Sometimes even the most honest, hardworking, people can get into situations outside of their control. Medical emergencies, job loss, natural disasters, and other unexpected personal "emergencies" are just a few of the things … (1 comments)
If you are having a financial hardship and trouble making your mortgage payments, you are not alone. The most important thing is that you do something about it. There are better options than just allowing your home to go into foreclosure.
A short-sale is an option that may allow you to get out from under your debt without taking nearly the hit on your credit report, allowing you to more quickly recover. We know that it is tough and that no one wants to deal with these decisions, but we are here to help.

nashville mls search: Nashville MLS search
- 07/06/10 11:27 AM
Nashville MLS search As technology gets better and better, people are relying on real estate agents less and less. In a way, I think that's GREAT! When it comes to searching homes on the MLS people are finding public searches for just about any city in the US. Even the acronym "MLS" is becoming more and more recognized. People are using search phrases like "Nashville MLS search" or "Nashville MLS listings" more and more rather than phrases like "Nashville home search". With all of that being said, it makes our jobs as agents easier and easier. I am not saying obsolete... … (0 comments)
nashville mls search: Marketing Vs. Pricing (Franklin TN Listing agents)
- 07/01/10 05:21 AM
Marketing Vs. Pricing (Franklin TN Listing agents) In the past I have written blogs about the roles of a good listing agent. In my opinion, a listing agent's job is to market and sell a home (obviously). Some of the key aspects to selling a home includes; 1. Correctly Pricing the home. 2. Put your sign in the yard AND pointer signs leading to the house. 3. Professional photography. Homes without pictures or bad pictures can generally get passed up by the buyer's agent and never shown. Professional pictures can make the house look even better than it does in real life. The … (3 comments)

Ranchettes Kingston Springs Tennessee is one of those rare neighborhoods that puts you within 30 minutes to downtown Nashville, just a few minutes to I-40, and somehow makes you feel like you’re right in the middle of the Smokey Mountains.
All the homes in this area are very secluded. In fact, it is very difficult to see many of your neighbors through the thick trees. It is not uncommon to see deer, and many other wildlife roaming through your backyard.

I have a small team at a local KELLER WILLIAMS Realty in Franklin TN. My teammate recently had a client in which he felt soooo confident that he never had them sign a buyer's rep agreement. (mistake on our part) "These people are like family to me" he said several times throughout the process. A few weeks ago we learned that they viewed an open house on a Sunday in a newer neighborhood just south of the Franklin area. Before they knew it they were signing papers. (Mistake on their part) The open house agent was also the owner of the … (6 comments)
