I have just come back from the REALTORS national conference.  Many great speakers bringing helpful info.  As usual, I learned a lot.  A couple of interesting items I wanted to share.  One is that houses are beginning to sell in areas that have been terribly down, Michigan, Florida, California.  They are selling for lower prices than they would like to be selling for, but their volume is slowing rising.  That is an encouraging word for the parts of the country that are just slower. We in Franklin, TN have lots of inventory that are great prices for buyers. People are buying houses.  They are looking at the affordability of housing and buying.  Some people would say that money and mortgages are unavailable.  That is not really the case at this time.  It may take a bit of hunting to find w... 11/11/2008

Franklin real estate - We've all had this experience. We were looking at homes, and drive by a house that's for sale, but we don't have the information, and it doesn't have any flyers. In order to get information on the home, your choice is to call a realtor, or write down the address and look it up when you get home. A new tool called Voicepad will eliminate this problem. You call a local number(no charges), and when prompted, put in the address, voicepad will tell you the information about the home right then. It's free to my registered buyers, and I do mean free. If you are interested in buying Franklin real estate, you need this tool. Call Larry Brewer at 615-512-7853 to get signed up, or click on the link 11/05/2008

I know that times are tough in this challenging economy and people often hire unhandymen or make a stab at doing it themselves to save a few dollars. However, when the unhandy practices involve electricity and potential fire hazards, the savings are not too great.  While one of the inspectors for Complete Home Inspections, Inc was inspecting a property in the Franklin, TN area of middle Tennessee, this spliced plug onto the end of a section of NM-3 conductor wiring was cited in his report. No only is the splice unsafe, but the circuit ran to a power ventilator located next to the attic ridge vent. When the fan would come on, the air would be sucked in from the ridge vent thereby causing the attic to overheat. The inspector suggested removing the circuit and so that the fan would no long... 11/04/2008

Curb Appeal Buyers develop an opinion about your home within a few seconds of walking in the front door.  You only have one chance to make a good first impression and the clock starts ticking as soon as they drive up to the house.  Is the front of the house neat, clean and welcoming?  Consider adding some extra landscaping or potted flowers.  Buyers spend a minute or so standing on the porch while the agent unlocks the door.  They have time to take a good look at the front of the house.  Be sure to remove cobwebs, pressure wash the house and have a door knob and lock in proper working order.  It's very aggravating fighting with an old door lock while my clients are standing out in the elements.  Don't underestimate attention to detail, especially regarding the outside of the house and t... 11/03/2008
