Why You Need an HOA Buyers moving to Clarksville TN usually ask to stay away from HOA neighborhoods. They also want to know which neighborhoods have them and say they don't want anyone telling them how they can use their properties.  I find that buyers are not well informed about HOAs.  A Homeowners Association can be a very good thing to have and actually can protect property values and help you enjoy your neighborhood more. I don't find it as something to be afraid of. Those buyers that have strong resistance to them could have had a bad neighborhood situation with an HOA or heard a story from a friend. From my point of view, I want the protections that an HOA can give. In fact many home buyers share that feeling and only want to buy in an HOA neighborhood. Your home is the biggest fi... 05/31/2018

Cleaning Tips for Making Your Home Ready for MarketWhen showing properties the very first thing I do is take a deep breath and smell. I want to smell a clean smell, no smoke and no pets. I want no cover up fragrances like potpourri, scented candles or air fresheners. Some basic cleaning supplies work best and will leave your home sparkling. White vinegar is a must and so are cotton cleaning cloths (or old t-shirts or diapers, the cloth kind). Small nail holes in walls can be filled with white toothpaste or a little bit of cotton. Of course the wall needs to be a light neutral color.  When you wash your cleaning rags do not use dryer sheets or fabric softener. These leave a residue and will cause a film to remain on glass. I use a lint roller to dust my drapes and curtains, the back and ... 05/29/2018

It Takes a Team with the Seller Being a Key PlayerWhen I go to a listing appointment one of the discussion points is that the seller must be a part of my selling team. It takes a collaborative effort to the best price and terms that are in favor for the seller. It starts with the seller being willing to price the property in the market range. Properties that are overpriced, stay on the market longer and usually end up costing the seller money because the longer the home stays on the market, the buyers get more and more concerned there might be a problem with the property.It isn't simply enough to do the paperwork, put a sign in the yard and put in MLS. It takes strategies, excellent marketing and good photos to present the property favorably.The seller has a role as part of the team to ... 05/26/2018

Take It One Step at a TimeTo get the ball rolling on building a custom home, there are several preliminary items to address first before you start the building process.   Engage the services of a real estate agent that has the experience and knowledge to guide you and look out for your interests. Don't try to go it alone. Have you decided where you want to live? Location determines price. Be open-minded to other options as some locations may price you out of the market. What surroundings do you want to have? Are trees important or living near water? Do you want to be in a neighborhood or out in the country? Do you want as small lot or acres of land? Do you have a preference as to the topography of the land? What utilities must you have? Not all areas have natural gas or city sewer. Rura... 05/22/2018
