According to a recent survey of home buyers in 2006 more than 70% of buyers used the Internet to purchase their next home.  Home buyers indicated that the Internet afforded them a greater sense of control and allowed them to comprehend more of the information they would need to make a more informed decision about certain homes and the home buying process.  Within this survey one very interesting fact that stood out was that home buyers who found their homes on the Internet only spent 2.2 weeks with their real estate agent before purchasing, whereas traditional buyers spent an average of 7.1 weeks with their Realtor.

Boating, kayaking, swimming, tennis, golf, whitewater rafting, tubing and canoeing the Chattanooga River as well as the Hiawassee and Natahala waters for a start!  If you enjoy more adventure there's rock climbing, repelling, hand gliding and hot air ballooning - just image it and you can probably find it either here or very close by.  We are located in the tri state area inclusive of Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina.If you prefer another type of lifestyle, Chattanooga will surprise you. Like to be invol...
