One of my daughters attends the Dyersburg Christian School(Christ Classical Academy) and my other daughter home schools.Christ Classical allows home school kids to participate in sports programs at the school. Here is a video I shot yesterday of a Christ Classical Academy soccer match with the middle school at Haywood County.Update: June 22, 2015I can no longer recommend this school as of today. Christ Classical Academy used to be a great Christian School but now it is not.

Dyersburg and the surrounding areas have a organized homeschool group called L.I.G.H.T. We have a website and you can access it here. Last night was our first meeting of the new school year and I shot just a short clip as we had a pot luck meal before the meeting. My wife Gail and I have two daughters and we currently homeschool one of those. We homeschooled our other daughter for 5 years but she just started going to the Dyersburg Christian school called Christ Classical Academy. The christian school has several programs that will include homeschoolers including sports so if you have any questions about our homeschool group or the christian school or need help relocating to the Dyersburg or Newbern,Tn area please let me know. My cell number is 731-589-7841.

For several years Curtis Colbert and Kevin Cook worked for one of the few remaining "independent" pharmacies in town. About 6 months ago, they were informed that this pharmacy was selling out to one of the large pharmacy chains. Curtis and Kevin decided that Dyersburg needed a great independent pharmacy that many in the Dyersburg area were accustomed to. There are only 2-3 independent pharmacies left in Dyersburg. In answer to providing a great independent family pharmacy, Kevin and Curtis left the pharmacy(they had worked at for years) and built a new pharmacy from the ground up. Both Curtis and Kevin are fine Chrisitian men(I see them every sunday at church) and they will do what it takes to gain your trust and business like they have mine.The new Dyersburg pharmacy is located at 249...

I have a friend who is the number 2 guy at the Eaton Plant in Newbern,Tn(8 miles from Dyersburg) and he tells me he is still looking for some experienced factory workers who want long hours and good pay with benefits. This company makes industrial hydraulic hoses. Darrell told me if you are interested in a job and career with Eaton Corporation and more specifically with the plant in Newbern just apply online at Eatonjobs.com. There are also jobs just across the river in or near Blytheville Arkansas. One of the steel related plants that is continuing to hire is Tenaris. They make  tubing for the energy industry and for other industrial applications. they offer great benefits also. they are currently looking for supervisors,multi-craft maintenance technicians,threader operators,beveler op...

There are several companies in Dyersburg or near Dyersburg,Tennessee that are hiring factory workers and have jobs available. Sun Products in Dyersburg has been hiring many new workers and they are having a job fair July 10th at their plant. Eaton Corporation has been hiring lots of new people to help them fill international orders. They are still looking for "qualified" employees. Both of these plants are looking to hire factory workers with factory experience, no drug problems and in good health. Also the factories across the river in or near Blytheville,Arkansas are still hiring workers also. I just got off the phone with someone from Nucore Steel and he said their company is doing "great". There is no reason why someone here cannot get a good factory job if they are qualified. This ...

This morning a potential client called me about locating him a 50-100 acre farm to purchase. Before I could get the words out(why me) he told me he was looking for an expert Realtor and he kept running into me over and over and over again on the internet. He then asked me how many blogs I have and I told him several. He then started telling me about the different blogs he has been following me on?  Since most people do not comment on outside blogs one would wonder if anyone is really reading them. I do a lot of research online and believe it or not I am about the only consistant blogger for all the Realtors(in my town of Dyersburg). I have invited several to join Activerain and start blogging but they do not see the benefits. Actually I starting blogging back in 2005 when I first heard ...

Who are you going to call when your kitchen or laundry appliance is in need of repair? Call That Guy! Actually a friend of mine has been in the Dyersburg appliance repair business for a very long time. Guy Hansford grew up in the appliance business as his dad owned an appliances store in the local area. From an early age Guy's dad taught him how to work on and maintain home appliances. Guy Hansford's business card states that he works on appliances-refrigeration-plumbing-and electrical. Anything that is associated with home appliances is his speciality. His card also says servicing most brands of appliances including Maytag, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, GE and many more. He installed a new under counter ice maker in my house and does all my appliance outside repair for my 80+ rental units...

A couple of days ago one of my clients came into my Dyersburg office and I asked him how his plant was doing. Darrell is the plant controller in the Eaton manufacturing plant in Newbern,Tennessee which is 8 miles from Dyersburg. Darrell responded that his plant was running wide open and they were having a hard time filling all the orders. The Eaton Plant makes high pressure industrial rubber hoses. I wrote a more extensive post on my Dyersburg real estate market blog.

This morning I started a new blog site for information about foreclosures in the Dyersburg area. There are multiple locations to find Dyersburg foreclosures and some of those charge for their information. This new site will have information about Fannie Mae foreclosures, Ginnie Mae foreclosures,Freddie Mac foreclosures, FHA(Hud) foreclosures, VA foreclosures,  Farmers Home and Rural Development foreclosures and of course conventional bank foreclosures. In my opinion, we are about half way on the number of foreclosures we are going to see in the Dyersburg area but I do see a little light at the end of the tunnel which is that the foreclosures when priced correctly are selling pretty quickly. To go to the new Dyersburg Foreclosures website just click on the highlighted link.

Today one of my clients told me his plant Kinder Morgan is hiring like crazy. I wrote an article about these jobs and jobs in another plant on my Dyersburg Real Estate Information Blog. All of these plants are just across the Mississippi River from my city of Dyersburg,Tennessee. Most of those employees in those steel related plants chose to live in Dyersburg because of the schools, shopping, medical facilities and quality of housing here. My header hunter friend just told me that the steel industry is the leading indicator of jobs creation in the U.S. I am hoping Google will pick up this post about new jobs near Dyersburg,Tennessee so people will see this article and get one of these Dyersburg area jobs. Frazier Properties and Carousel Realty is able to offer our clients rentals on a t...

Earlier today I wrote a blogpost on one of my outside blogs discussing the current market conditions for the Dyersburg real estate market. If you will click on the link up above you will see that Dyersburg has been like many other areas of the country with lower sales but I see a glimmer of hope based on the numbers for December 09 verses December 08. All of my agents have been really busy during this early part of January and I can't wait to pull the numbers for January 2010 vs January 2009.

Today I went to show a Fannie Mae foreclosure but the listing agent told me he has a contract as of last night. I then asked him about another Fannie Mae foreclosure and he told me that one also has a contract above the list price. My client was wanting to make an offer on the house this morning and before we found out the deal was done they asked me how much to offer. I told them that they need to offer about $5000 over the list price.But, we were too little too late. We are still seeing many Dyersburg foreclosures but the sales prices on the lower priced ones are starting to creep up and the higher priced ones(for the most part) have already gone up. So folks, no more low ball offers for Dyersburg foreclosures. Our economy is recovering and home prices stabilizing. There still some de...
