Chattanooga, Hixson, and Ooltewah Tennessee real estate listings, home buying, selling and relocation information

The friendly “Welcome to Chattanooga, you will love it here” greeting received upon arrival is sincere and from the heart. John being born in Alabama and I in Georgia developed our deep-rooted southern heritage. We never meet a stranger, only a future friend! We settled in Chattanooga 38 years ago as newlyweds. This was a life influencing decision that we are proud of. We have raised two children in the public school system; both went on to great careers. This easygoing way of life has been a blessing. The blend of city and country atmosphere of the area put our family at ease in stressful times.

Our two children blessed us with four wonderful grandchildren. Our spare time is often spent with family just doing the simple things of life: picnicking, swimming, spending the weekend in a mountain chalet “looking for bears,” or going to the beach. John and I also enjoy being active in the Choo Choo Shag Club, appropriately named after the Chattanooga Choo Choo. The club is made up of middle age “boppers” having fun and enjoying life. We often travel to other parts of the southeast, especially South Carolina where the shag originated, to dance gatherings with other clubs.

As a young man, John became a member of the Chattanooga Scottish Rite and went on to join the Alhambra Shrine Temple. Now that our children are raised, his goal is to have more time to devote to this worthy institution, which has done many great things for children in need.

Entertaining friends in our home and being entertained is one of our favorite pastimes. We are hardworking, fun-loving, and enthusiastic people. We are established icons in the real estate industry in Chattanooga. Working with many out of town buyers has produced us friends from every walk of life, from different states, and a variety of countries. Life is exciting when you love your work, and we do! It would be our pleasure to work with you!

We have enjoyed being a part of helping others find their perfect home, just like the Three Bears Story, “Just Right”. We have felt their sadness and concerns upon leaving or just arriving. The problems associated with relocation can be overwhelming to the whole family, especially the children saying goodbye to their friends and moving to a strange city. Being sensitive to our buyers’ and sellers’ needs and wants has helped us achieve our goals and levels of success with a 68% referral return in 2001. We have never liked telling anyone how good we are, however we love for our customers and clients to do it.

Remodeling and Renovations >Considering Major Improvements

You have decided that it is time to sell your home. After taking an objective look around, you realize that you have a lot of work to do in order to prepare your home for the market. If it will take more than just cleaning to get your home for showing, it may be time to call in two professionals--a home improvement contractor and a professional real estate agent.

The ideal listing has a modern kitchen and bath, fresh paint, beautiful lighting fixtures and elegant hardwood floors or high-end wall-to-wall carpet. Your real estate agent can offer suggestions about what your house needs, what colors or cabinet styles are popular with buyers, and tips on cost-effective improvements. The contractor can work with you to put your plan into action.

If you feel that the costs or disruption of a major remodeling project would be overwhelming, you have the option of marketing your home as a "fixer-upper." If you decide to sell your home "as is", your agent can prepare a market analysis to give you an idea of what you can expect to net from the sale of your home.
