Today's blog comes to you from a house at Mount Juliet on Old Hickory Lake! This home on Vanderbilt Road has actually closed already, so it's only a matter of time before its new owners start enjoying themselves out here.

In previous videos, we showed you the home selling process one step at a time - from first sight to decluttering, staging to marketing. After working our magic, the home sold in less than a few weeks and for nearly full asking price.

We just wanted to show you the before, during, and after stages of getting a home ready for the market, and how smooth the process is when you work with the Powell Team. The buyers got a great home with a beautiful view, and the homeowners were able to accomplish their selling goals. 

If you would like us to do the same for you, don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email. Whether you're looking to buy or a sell a home, we want to make sure the process is as smooth as possible from beginning to end. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

4 Tricks for the Perfect Christmas Tree

Welcome back! I can't believe the holidays are already here! I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season and that's why I wanted to share this video from HGTV on how to decorate your tree this year.

1. Placement: A lot of people think they have to find a place for the tree in a corner or squished between pieces of furniture; simply moving the furniture, though, can create a beautiful space for your tree.
2. Lights: When you add a string of lights to your tree, make sure you bury them deep in the branches to add a glowing look.
3. Ornaments: Start with the larger ornaments first. You can add some depth to your tree by placing metallic branches throughout. If you don't have a lot of ornaments collected, using cheaper, big bulbs still offers the same stunning look. You can also use organic materials such as pine-cones dipped in white paint.
4. Gifts: No matter what age you are, everyone loves seeing gifts under the tree. Use a piece of fabric as the tree skirt. To display the gifts, create different layers by stacking the gifts or creating levels.

Now you have the perfect Christmas tree! I hope you found this article helpful in getting your home ready for the holidays. Have a safe and wonderful Christmas!

How is the Government Shutdown Affecting Rates Now?

Welcome back to my video blog! For a while it seemed like all you heard about was the government shut down. How did it affect our market? I asked my good friend, Wade Byers from Benchmark Home Loans to join us today and explain what’s been going on.

During the shutdown we did see an increase in interest rates to about 5 percent. I have good news, though, for those of you who thought you missed your window. Rates have dropped down to 4.25 percent; now is a phenomenal time to be in the market.

It’s important to not wait too long to make your move. After the first of the year we expect the Federal Reserve to possibly pull back on the quantitative easing causing interest rates to increase again.

Many people think that the winter isn’t a good time to sell. The truth is that there are fewer homes on the market and that means less competition for you. Statistics show that December has more activity than October or November.

So if you are considering buying or selling, please give me a call!

Thanks for watching!

Referral Network

Welcome back!

Today, I have my friend Darne Ridgley with me. We’ve been brainstorming about different ideas to better serve you!

Darne  is  also an agent in the Atlanta area. If you know anyone who is thinking about selling in Atlanta, now is a great time; inventory is incredibly low and buyers need a home!

Through the Keller Williams network, I can refer you to an agent in any city. If you find yourself relocating and need an agent you can trust, give me a call!
