Brentwood homes have been a great investment, but like any other investment, you have to know the good from the bad.It's no different than the stock market or bond market, except for one thing, you get to live in your investment. My customers rely on my opinion to help them make these decisions, and so far, I've had a really good track record. The biggest thing to remember about the home investment is that all you are really investing is your down payment, your monthly mortgage payment would probably be less than rent for a comparable home. Taking all of this into account, what kind of return on investment should you expect from a Brentwood home? I selected a Brentwood home that was old enough to show a long term trend. Using the tax record for sales of the same house 30 years apart, se...

     In my business, it not about me. It is all about my employees and my clientele. As a manager, I strive to find ways to bring out the best in my employees, utilize their strengths and talents so as to best serve the company’s customer base. I feel blessed that I have been given great team players who have such unique talents. One of them is Annelle, my Realtor Liaison.     Annelle’s talent is cooking and being able to make ordinary food extraordinary. I might add that she has that knack to put together wonderful presentations. However, there is nothing ordinary about Annelle's Jack Daniels Chocolate Pecan Pie. It is sinfully decadent. When she worked for a small restaurant in Columbia, TN; her pies were featured on “Tennessee Crossroads” which aired on the local PBS stations. Folks ...

What does Renovated Home mean to you?          RENOVATION                                 REALITIES   One of my clients was interested in purchasing an up to date home. Our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in middle Tennessee has a field entitled “Built Information” with the following choices: Historic, Renovated, Approximate, Model, Existing, New, To Be Built. The listing agent has the opportunity to describe the home with one of these choices after entering the Year Built or leaving this field blank. To avoid missing out on some listings, I did not choose ‘Renovated’ when I did my search for my buyer; however, some of the listings that we chose to view due to the pictures did have that designation. It would be easy to just pick listings that are newish, ie built within the last 5 years,...
