nashville mls search: Ah, nothing like a dose of fresh air.
- 09/22/09 10:09 AM
I literally just walked in the door from an incredible listing appointment and I had to jump on the computer and share this awesome property with all of you. First of all, this property sits in what very well could be the most beautiful setting Franklin has to offer. After you go through the historic section of town you enter an area of lush greenery and winding roads that seem to transport you into a different time. With civil war period walls lining the streets you are guided into farmland and plantation homes. After a couple of turns and five minutes of … (1 comments)
nashville mls search: A new side of Franklin TN
- 09/21/09 03:06 AM
Driving through the streets of Historic Franklin in Williamson County you will pass some truly incredible homes. These houses are an average of four-thousand square feet and well appointed with custom trims and gorgeous flooring. The homes are very well taken care of with wonderful landscaping and beautiful detail work. Not only are these homes gorgeous but they are also rich in history. Franklin sits in the middle of what was a battle ground in the 1800’s. These homes in Franklin played a role in the battle. For example, Carnton Plantation was the home of the famed, ‘Widow of The … (1 comments)
nashville mls search: Breaking news
- 09/17/09 03:25 AM
This just in. A young couple living in Nashville, TN reportadly lost money in a house flipping venture. The couple says,"they are shocked this has happened to them, we have nothing now that this has cleaned us out." Jim Bearns and His wife Melissa both work in industries outside the real estate world and decided that it would be an easy way to make an extra 'pile' of cash. "With my handy work skills and Melissa's good taste we knew it was a winner." After pouring a total of $227,981 into the flip the couple was shocked that it did not … (7 comments)
We have all seen them. We have all heard about them. They are lurking all around us. We are in amazement by the shadows they cast over us. Just the sight of them makes us feel interior. They are…dun.dun.dun…dun….the Mega Mansion!! ( I know…you quivered didn’t you?) The monster homes are a bitter/sweet listing. On one end you want to list it because you know it would be a killer sell. One the other end you know that it will take quite a while and you will be putting in a lot of time … (4 comments)
nashville mls search: This isn't working!
- 09/11/09 07:28 AM
Hold Up…Lets Just Think For a Second!I recently went to work with a client that needed help getting their home ready to sell. It had been on the market for several weeks with no offers and no interest from buyers. The only remarks were not in their favor. After this had gone on for several weeks they gave me a call to come give them some pointers. I knew there was going to be many issues to be addressed because I had seen their home before, however I REALLY underestimated this one!!! The first thing that greeted me as I walked … (5 comments)
nashville mls search: To stage or not to stage?
- 09/10/09 05:13 AM
To stage or not to stage? That my friends is the question that plagues us all. There are definite views on this subject, each with valid points. So often I have heard sellers tell me that they do not want to spend the money on staging because they are not trying to impress anyone with their style, or they do not have time. Whatever the reason, (or excuse) they feel that the return is not worth their time. Look, there is a simple question to be asked that can help the seller decide if they want to stage their home. Simply ask … (3 comments)
nashville mls search: "WHAT IF?"
- 08/25/09 08:57 AM
The longer I am in the Real Estate game the more I hear the phrase "what if?". I think this phrase can be very useful. For example, "What our financing doesn't go through?" "What if the inspections come back and we don't want to deal with the headache of fixing all the problems?". These are all "what ifs" that can save a lot of heartache in the future. I am a big supporter of that phrase and practice it myself with many situations in life. That phrase can save the day!! On the flip side I have seen that phrase just … (7 comments)
nashville mls search: FSBO vs. Agent
- 08/06/09 06:20 AM
I live in an area in Nashville TN where there are A LOT of homes for sale. In fact, there is a neighborhood called "Lenox Village" that has close to 60 homes on the market!! Out of the 60 homes that are listed many of them are "For Sale By Owner". I PITY the FSBO that thinks they have an edge over an aggressive listing agent!! (In the best Mr. T voice I can muster up) Let's talk about exposure. I know that some FSBO's get smart and figure out a way for their home to be listed in the MLS... … (1 comments)
nashville mls search: Some Nashville listing agents do it better.
- 07/30/09 05:44 AM
I know I know.... "If a home is priced right then it will sell". Let's say though that the home is priced "right" but just not a killer deal like most buyers are looking to get. This is where I believe the next step in marketing your listing will come in. I decided to place my daily video Blog on AR today. Hope you enjoy.

nashville mls search: Dennis Lockhart Speaks at the Nashville Rotary club on Monday
- 07/21/09 04:12 AM
Dennis Lockhart (Top U.S. Federal Reserve Bank Official) spoke to the Nashville Rotary Club on Monday stating that we will soon emerge from our recession. His speech was a mixed bag of the current negative condition we are in with the hopeful and somewhat confident recovery. A part of the "somewhat confident recovery" was indication that the interest rates were not going anywhere soon. "Certainly we have low interest rates today" and "I would expect that to continue for some time" Lockhart said at speech held before the Rotary Club of Nashville. He acknowledged that there are many stimulus packages in place … (1 comments)

nashville mls search: Message in a bottle
- 07/16/09 01:06 AM
Like a lot of Realtors throughout the U.S. I actually LOVE Real Estate. I love almost everything about it. I love looking at homes, hearing stories about unique homes, renovating homes, you name it! Over the 4th of July I had the opportunity to travel to Maine with some friends. I had actually never been before and the thought of seeing new places excites me more than anything. What makes this even more exciting was that the home we stayed in was RIGHT ON THE BEACH! This was the picture perfect weekend with fog rolling onto the coast, below normal 4th … (11 comments)
nashville mls search: Nashville home prices remain fairly steady
- 07/14/09 05:04 AM
According to the sales data released by the Great Nashville Association of Realtors the median price of a single-family home only dropped 3.2% last month. That is compared to a year ago when the market had already taken its affect on Real Estate. Home sales are also still dropping but not as sharply as they have been in months past. Last month the decline was around 19.3%. I know that this is still a drop in sales and prices BUT that is a soft drop and points to positive things to come. Williamson and Maury County are showing to be the strongest … (2 comments)

It is tough to sell when there are 58 homes in the same neighborhood on the market. The MLS just doesn't cut it in this economy. It is time to go viral!

nashville mls search: Do you REALLY know your MLS system?
- 06/23/09 09:54 AM
Today I took a class at our regional MLS headquarters in Nashville. I didn't really NEED to take the class but it was an elective for a part of our mandatory continual education. I thought this class was going to be a breeze and uninformative. Sure it was a breeze but I was WRONG on the information I thought I was going to get. I have been using "Realtracs" (Tennesee's MLS search) for two years and felt as if I knew the system pretty well. Of course I can do basic home searches and even very detailed ones but this can … (13 comments)
nashville mls search: We told you and now SOME are regretting it
- 06/22/09 07:43 AM
The age old expression "Now is the time to buy" has been worn out by Realtors in ANY market it seems. I have heard from many "buyers" that they are sick of hearing that phrase. I know that Realtors are salespeople and WANT clients who are ready to buy. That in turn can give the impression of desperation and possibly trying to make ANY market look like "Now is the time to buy". Just within the past two weeks I have had several buyers state that they wished they had bought LAST MONTH when interest rates were in the 4's. You read … (6 comments)

So I took the day off. Normally I do a video blog on a daily basis. Today I decided NOT to talk about Real Estate and give everyone a good laugh. I went to college with some friends who are now in a band called SAFETYSUIT. They have great music and are great guys. In fact, if you happen to be from Nashville then support your local Nashville and vote for them on VH1. They have been in the top 10 for the past 3 weeks! They do video blogs while on the road and in the process have played a … (0 comments)
nashville mls search: Why the heck won't my home sell??
- 06/16/09 10:19 AM
Realtors should all have a general knowledge (if not an extensive knowledge) of things like contract writing, negotiating, Real Estate law, etc. Sure, some agents are better than others when it comes to those things. Some may be more shy than others and can't negotiate as well. Others may have to ask their Broker to help them fill out the contract. Bottom line is that there are a LOT of agents who have a good knowledge of the basics. When it comes to listing a home though, what sets a good listing agent from a GREAT listing agent? MARKETING!! Don't all … (4 comments)
