Williamson County Real Estate: Tennessee: Nashville: Forest Hills

I was asked be another realtor to take a look at their listing in Forest Hills that was getting a lot of traffic but no offers. The home in question was an older ranch home in a great location with a nice lot. The neighborhood is going through a transformation of teardowns and remodels that has made a large impact on improving property values. But so far no offers on this home.

Here was my comments to the listing agent.

• the lockbox was on the back door where most people park. unfortunately, the deck at the entrance is in bad condition and looks out of place. And the door itself is in bad condition. move the lockbox to the new front door where visitors will see all of the improvements first. consider replacing the back door.
• The house was very open, but all of the blinds were closed and the floors were dark hardwood. The impression on a nice sunny day is that this is a dark house. Find a way to bring more light in to the home by opening all the blinds and leaving the lights on in the house when you know that you will have showings.
• the trees are very old and one of the limbs had fallen at the entrance of the drive. It was blocking the view of the road when you try to leave making it a hazard to visitors. It's the first and last thing you see when you view the property

They have reduced the price of the home by over 10 percent since listing it a few months age. They could have spent 1/4 of that to make these repairs and probably had it sold by now.  Will they listen to my advise? It's hard to say, but this kind of feedback is what i hope to get from my fellow realtors when they view my listings.

I came accross this earlier. I just thought it would be nice to share it with some of my Nashville friends since all of these are in easy driving distance from middlle Tennessee.

The Secretary of Transportation recognizes certain roads as National Scenic Byways based on one or more archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities.

 The 5 Byways Throughout the State the state of Tennessee are

•  Cherohala Skyway: The Skyway offers the cultural heritage of the Cherokee tribe and early settlers in a grand forest environment in the Appalachian Mountains.
• East Tennessee Crossing: This route follows the original path of the Cherokee Warriors Path, the Wilderness Road across the Clinch Mountain and the Cumberland Gap, the Dixie Highway of the Civil War period and Thunder Road of moonshining lore.
• Great River Road: Throughout history, the Mississippi River influenced many lives: the Dakota, Chippewa and Hopewell cultures; early French voyagers; African-Americans seeking freedom on the Underground Railroad; and many more. Through its charming river towns and metropolitan cities, historic sites and cultural artifacts, today's Great River Road still links resources, people and history.
• Natchez Trace Parkway: Native Americans, Kaintuck boatmen, post riders, government officials and soldiers all moved across this trail, creating a vital link between the Mississippi Territory and the fledgling United States. Pass through forests, cypress swamps and farmland to meander through the rock-studded hills of Tennessee, cotton fields in Alabama, and Mississippi's marshes.
• Woodlands Trace: Running along a ridge of land between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, Woodlands Trace is a beautiful, easy drive in rolling terrain with opportunities to pull off and explore on your own or at developed interpretive facilities. This outdoor setting includes the seasonal splendors of nature, with blossoming trees and flowers, a green canopy, brilliant fall foliage, and the open view in the forest in the winter.

Nashville real estate - In Nashville, and especially in Brentwood, we get a lot of country music fans driving around looking for the home of their favorite star. It's probably no surprise that the most expensive Nashville Real Estate sold for personal use this year is a $5.45 million dollar home in Forest hills, just North of Brentwood. The buyer? Kix and Barbara Brooks.

But don't expect to drive by and take a look. It's in the gated community of Bancroft, just down the road from the home that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman used before their marriage. Gated community being the important part.

If you would like to purchase the 20,000 square ft home on the same street, let me know, I would love to help, give me a call. Larry Brewer 615-512-7853 .

Just kidding or maybe not.
