Southwest Tennessee Home Guide | What You Get in the $500K to $750K Range Right Now
Southwest Tennessee Home Guide | What You Get in the $500K to $750K Range Right Now
If you are shopping in the $500,000 to $750,000 range in Southwest Tennessee, you are in one of the most active and competitive tiers this market has to offer. This is not the entry level. It is not the ultra-luxury tier either.

Memphis Relocation Guide | What Families With Kids Need to Know Before They Move
Most people who relocate to the Memphis metro start by looking at houses. Families with school-age children almost always end up working the problem in reverse. They look at school districts first, then narrow down the neighborhoods inside those boundaries, then find the house.
That is the right order. And if you are moving here from out of state, understanding how the Memphis area's school landscape is structured is the single most important pi...

Seller's Playbook | What to Fix Before You List and What to Leave Alone
Seller's Playbook | What to Fix Before You List and What to Leave Alone
There is a version of pre-listing prep that costs sellers thousands of dollars and delivers almost nothing in return. There is another version that protects your sale price, shortens the time on market, and gets buyers writing offers instead of asking for credits.
Knowing which repairs belong in which category is the difference between money well spent and money thrown at a house that was going to sell anyway.
