Nashville TN is an exciting city with many things to do. There are many restaurants, several colleges and universities, and sports. Sports include professional football (Titans), hockey (Predators), and baseball (Nashville Sounds). A special niche is seniors who want to downsize. We can talk to you confidentially and share knowledge and ideas on how to proceed. We have a network of cleaners, painters, gardeners, and handy people. We never rush our clients to make a decision, as we work on your schedule, not ours. We can refer you to private lenders, mortgage lenders, and other vendors in the area. And, of course, we never accept a fee for the referral to a vendor or lender. Even though vendors come highly recommended to us, or we have had personal experience with their work, you should always interview them and get other references and come to your own comfort level with them before contracting.

A plumbing leak in the crawl space is on the buyer’s inspection repair list for the seller to have fixed.   The seller hires a plumber who says he can’t find a leak, that the inspector was mistaken.   OK, maybe that’s good. But then at the final walkthrough, the buyer decides to go under the hous...

Valerie has shared some very important thoughts, if you want to buy a home to rehab. Two points that I particularly notice are: Do you finish what you start?  One of the saddest house previews I have ever done was to a home of a woman who wanted to sell, but the back of the house was open with ju...

ALWAYS, always, always have a home inspection, especially if significant remodeling has been done on the home which you are considering. The interior can look like a cream puff and be so irresistible, but you need to thoroughly inspect the major systems, and the inner workings of the home, not ju...
