Rotary Park Clarksville, A Good Place for Hiking and BikingClarksville and Montgomery County TN have many parks to enjoy but one in particular is like taking a trip to the mountains. Rotary Park is one of my favorites for its solitude and beauty especially during the change of the seasons.

It is located on the south side of town on 41A ByPass near Madison St. and Nashville Highway. It is surrounded by subdivisions and businesses but still is able to maintain its quiet surroundings and feel of a get away. This is a great place for a hike and a bike ride. The trails are challenging and will give you a nice workout. There are playg... 09/13/2017

Will the Low Offer Get the Seller's Attention? In a limited inventory market low offers are not encouraged. We agents know that it can be a waste of everyone's time to submit really low offers and sellers can react by rejecting them with no counteroffer. But what if the property is overpriced and is nowhere near where it should be priced?When I list a home for sale in Clarksville TN, I strive to get the listing price in a range that concurs with the market analysis. I am sure many other agents do the same thing but in a tight market where listings are scarce, agents tend to relax their standards and will take overpriced listings in hopes a buyer will pay overmarket prices or the seller will come to their senses.There are buyers that have been looking for a home for long periods of time.... 09/10/2017

Flowers Are Blooming EverywhereAs part of the August contest to Share Our Blooms hosted by Belinda Spillman, I am happy to tell you are what is growing in my garden. Clarksville TN has a wonderful climate to have something colorful growing in your garden almost all year long. Even in winter, the hollies and pansies thrive and add brightness to a stark winter landacape.

Sadly, the broccoli did not flourish and I pulled it up to make space for all the other plants that needed more elbow room. In my vegetable garden I have one zucchini plant (it came from a seed that was left in my pepper plant probably by a mouse), a couple of hot pepper plants, green pepper... 08/30/2017
