DOM is used in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to reference Days on Market or how long a property has been advertised for sale.  But what else does it mean? In this episode from The Relocation Engineer (Engineering Your Next Move), the topic is  DOM = Days on Market.  The DOM is listed for each property in our local MLS (Multiple Listing Service).  It is a gauge for how well a property is being received by the buyers in a certain area relative to the average for the area.  For example a property that is overpriced, or not well maintained or effectively marketed will have a higher DOM than an effectively marketed home that has an appropriate price and good condition.  Many websites do not display the DOM, so if you want to know then shop online athttp://mike.franklin.exitrealtyofthes...

I hosted an open house on Sunday. The weather was beautiful and the open house was in a good location to attract passers-by. We had ten couples who visited that day.As the sellers returned home, I told them we had good traffic but not sure any were legitimate buyers. They suggested we have an open house every week because they are getting more buyers through the house in two hours than they do all week. Just because these people attended the open house doesn't mean they are actual buyers. Sellers often think that visitors attending an open house are interested in buying their house right now and have chosen to view it through an open house rather than contacting an agent. This is rarely the case. As a matter of fact, in the eight years I've been selling real estate, only one open house ...

403 Letitia Dr, Franklin TN 37067 SOLD!in Villages of ClovercroftWhen Franklin Homes Realty LLC listed 403 Letitia Dr, Franklin TN 37067 back in August, there weren't any homes on the market in the Villages of Clovercroft neighborhood. The sellers had made some wonderful additions to this home including landscape lighting, brick paver patio with gas powered fire pit and a Koi pond. The interior had so many upgrades, we knew it was going to be hard to compete with homes in the neighborhood of a similar size that might be priced better but had fewer amenties. We took advantage of this lull in inventory and priced the home more in line with the new construction of Amelia Park about a mile down the road. Not surprisingly, neighbors saw this as an opportunity to enter the market at a higher ...

Due to the limited housing inventory in Franklin TN, many buyers are turning to new construction homes. It's easy to see why large numbers of buyers are opting for new construction. Not only do they get to choose their finishes but they also get new roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems.If a buyer was purchasing an existing home, he would always get a home inspection. After all, he's not an expert in roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating or cooling systems. Why then does that same buyer think it's not necessary to get a home inspection on new construction?Primarily because he feels he has some added protection through the one-year home warranty offered by the builder. Unfortunately, without a home inspection there's no way of knowing if everything is working proper...

Villages of Clovercroft Pending Sale: 403 Letitia Dr, Franklin TN 37067Last year, I was contacted by a couple who were looking to purchase Franklin new construction. They were in the early stages but recognized they would need a knowledgeable agent to help them accomplish the purchase of a new home and the sale of their existing home. They found me through a Google search for Franklin new construction homes that directed them to my ActiveRain blog. They liked what I had to say and asked if I could meet with them that afternoon. Two hours later, I was sitting in their home and we talked through their housing plans for the future.  They signed a Buyer's Representation Agreement that day and we began their search for new construction the following week. It took quite awhile to find exactly...

Today, we received a repair request from the buyers of one of our listings. The house was built in 2010 so we knew there wouldn't be much, if anything, to do. As expected, the list consisted of a few handyman repairs; no plumbing, electrical, HVAC or roofing items.Mr. Seller is quite handy and knew he could knock out these repairs in an hour or two. But wait...the buyer requested all repairs be completed by a licensed contractor.I am all for licensed contractors completing roofing, HVAC, plumbing and electrical repairs but when a smoke detector needs to be replaced, it doesn't take a licensed contractor to do that. Additionally, handymen aren't licensed in Tennessee. That's right, a handyman is NOT required to be licensed in our state. Many times sellers are hiring handymen, thinking th...
