When I search Google for homes in Franklin, I always find your website - This was the beginning of the phone call I received from someone relocating to Franklin from Atlanta. He said he didn't know much about the area, even though he had visited several times for his job interview, so he just searched Google for homes in Franklin. He said that either I know a lot about Franklin, or I have a great marketing person.
My comment to him, Thank You
I do know a lot about Franklin, I know the neighborhoods, the schools, parks, the traffic patterns, and most of the businesses in the area. It's a large part of my job to educate people about the area so that they can make good decisions. Franklin is a great small town with a lot of local businesses and an easy commute to downtown Nashville. But it's not for everybody, and I usually try to advise people on places to live based on where they will be working.
A good example is a client who will be working close to the Nashville airport, and he has no children. Because his place of business is on the east side of town, I suggested that we try out Providence in Mount Juliet. It's a great community with a good selection of homes priced from $180,000 to over $400,000,it's located in Wilson county so the taxes are low, and it's a ten minute drive in rush hour to his place of business.
My advise to new realtors, research you area, and then communicate what you know using every tool you have. Customers will find you

Larry-Good advice. Knowing the traffic patterns can be a big deal in helping clients and in being more productive as Realtors too. I like to set up showings in a way to minimize traffic congestion patterns. Can't always avoid traffice jams, but we aren't using our time wisely if we are losing time in traffic.
Larry, that comment from a buyer would make my day! It speaks volumes to your dedication and your knowledge. Good job.
