Middle Tennessee Real Estate

Most people don't have time to spend days and days only to find out that the homes you're looking at aren't quite right for you. You can put you're Realtor to work and let him/her find potential homes for you based on a 'wish list' that you put together, but I prefer to have more control over my destiny (and my weekends).

Do your research before you leave the house and eliminate homes that aren't for you. For example, our last home was COVERED in wallpaper and it took years to get every room peeled and painted. This may not seem like a big deal to most, but for us it was something we wanted to avoid. I also had an issue with our old driveway, because there was a substantial slope down to the street and I really didn't care for that at all. I wanted to be able to install a basketball goal, so I was really looking for a level lot to play on. Again, not a big issue for most people - but big for us.

These days, there are tons of websites that allow you a look into what's for sale, but I found the one I got the most use out of was RealTracs. If the seller's Realtor puts enough pictures up along with the listing, you can eliminate what you're NOT looking for without spending the time to see it yourself. RealTracs contains listings in Middle Tennessee, and of course you can search for homes that meet your specific needs.
