     We contracted with Paula McDaniel to sell our home. Upon our initial meeting with Paula it was clear that she had a wealth of experience selling real estate and that she had a deep base of knowledge of our local market. The first thing that stood out about Paula was her integrity. She was honest and straight forward about what she felt was the right price range to sell our home in the current market. We had interviewed numerous agents before Paula, and it was apparent that most agents are giving potential clients the price range they "hope for" versus market reality just to secure the listing - a terrible waste of time if you are serious about selling your property. Once the process was underway Paula was responsive, followed up with us in a timely manner, and did a great job movin... 01/30/2014

In a few of our recent blogs, we wrote about how buyers should, when appropriate, be prepared to be “impulsively decisive” and we wrote about how sellers can, using a statistic called Months Supply, get a rough idea of how fast or slow their particular market moves. To give everyone a better idea of the speed of the several hyperlocal markets within Chattanooga, we created a chart that shows most of the neighborhoods from quickest to fastest. Remember that Months Supply is constantly changing, so these numbers will be outdated quickly. To get fresh data, email us at info@livechattanooga.com.   11/15/2013

The real estate market can be as wild a thing as the wind, surprising even veteran realtors. But, just like the wind, there are things that can be done to harness its power and there are ways to estimate how it will behave (aka to give a rough estimate in response to the question “how fast will my home sell?”). If you haven’t already read our article on the Top 4 Factors in Selling a House, we recommend that you start there to learn what you can do to harness the power of the market. But, when it comes to estimating the market’s behavior, one of the best tools to turn to is the statistic known as “Months Supply”.   The basic formula for determining a market’s Months Supply is to divide the number of active listings  by how many homes are sold on average per month in that same market (se... 11/11/2013

  As the weather begins to turn cold, sellers and realtors scramble to get their houses on the market and sold before the holiday season. It’s undeniable that the pool of buyers and homes on the market begins to shrink in the Fall, but is that necessarily a bad thing? Here are the Top 5 Reasons you should sell your home in the Winter:   5. You gotta fight, for your right, to party! Even if you list your home now, you can temporarily restrict all showings during the holidays so you can keep your focus on celebrating with your loved ones. At Keller Williams, we use a service called CSS that allows us to restrict showings really easily.   4. Of all the towns in all the world, you had to walk into mine. January tends to be a common start date for new hires. Folks who are relocating have to... 11/08/2013

or how to strike when the iron is hot by Jose Ocando   Real Estate seems like the kind of arena in which one should be thoughtful and methodical. After all, for many, buying a house is the largest investment one can make. But, experience has taught us that in the more fast moving markets of Chattanooga, TN, the spoils often go to the impulsive.   I experienced this myself earlier this year. My wife and I wanted to buy in Northwest Georgia and I had kept my eye on the area through various listing sites for about 3 or 4 months. We still had our home to sell, and about two weeks from listing, our ideal home hit the market.   We were in a predicament. We wanted to have sold our house before we started looking seriously. But, we knew that this house would sell fast, and we didn’t want to los... 11/05/2013

If you’ve been searching for a house and find yourself consistently dissatisfied with the inventory that’s out there, you may want to consider building rather than buying. The profile we look for when we make the recommendation to build is a buyer who has a very specific list of what they need in their future home. But, building a house can be as challenging a prospect as it is to buy. Here are the top 5 things you should know about building a house in Chattanooga:   1. Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further! The (positive) fear you should feel is of overrunning your budget with too many updates, last minute changes, or unforeseen issues. We like to tell people to create a budget and plan on only using 90% of it. That way you give yourself some room to grow into in case you need it. ... 10/31/2013

Tennessee is a popular state when it comes to relocation, in large part due to its low cost of living (one of the lowest in the country), its stunning views of the mountains, the river gorge, and the valleys and surrounding countryside, and its growth in the IT, manufacturing, and entrepreneurial industries.   As a real estate team, we’ve seen folks relocating from nearby states like Alabama and Georgia and from as far away as Alaska. As a thriving city, Chattanooga has made a lot of efforts to encourage people to settle in our city. Below is a list of resources that might be helpful if you’re considering relocating to Chattanooga, TN:   Highlights - Chattanooga has made incredible strides in the last couple of decades, such as creating the fastest internet network in the world, and is ... 10/25/2013

St Elmo, located at the foot of Lookout Mountain and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was founded in 1878. Although the neighborhood is celebrated nationwide for its historic homes, it is also extremely popular for its convenient location, stellar investment growth, and friendly, front-porch culture.   Most of the historic St Elmo homes built before 1915 are in the Victorian style. After that date, Carpenter Goth, Queen Anne, and Italianate styles became more frequent. Common architectural details include ornate mantels, tiled hearths, handsome pediments, heart pine floors, broad moldings, and tall ceilings.   Many contractors choose to renovate and sell historic St Elmo homes because of the reliable investment growth. Although St. Elmo was affected by the recession, ... 10/23/2013

Highland Park in Chattanooga, TN is a nationally recognized community known for its history, its beautiful homes, its friendly front porch culture, and its inspiring growth and development.   While the hyperlocal market in Highland Park suffered during the recession, just like all other neighborhoods in Chattanooga did, Highland Park has rebounded and average home sale prices are 10% greater than they were before the recession (see our article about it).

The homes for sale in Belvoir, Chattanooga, TN are among the most desirable in the city.

Selling a home requires a perfect storm. The are four factors that, when they are adjusted expertly, align together for the perfect transaction. If you attempt to sell a home without considering each of the four factors, your house will inevitably sell for less money, more hassle, and after a longer period of time on the market.
