How To Protect Your Home Against Mold

November 10, 2016 By Melissa Allen Leave a Comment

home water intrusion

Water damage can occur on any property, caused by plumbing leaks, roof failures or unexpected flooding from seasonal rainfalls. Mold can develop quickly after any of these events and can lead to expensive damage to materials and health problems in sensitive individuals. Here are some ways you can protect your home to prevent these issues:

1 – Seal Cracks in Your Foundation

Homeowners often neglect the inspection of their foundation walls where small cracks can allow water into basement areas. Sealing these small crevices will help to prevent them from becoming a larger problem when spring’s freeze-and-thaw cycles cause the cracks to become larger. This measure will help to prevent mildew and moisture damage that is common in basement areas.

2 – Pay Attention To Minor Plumbing Leaks

Even the smallest plumbing leak can cause extensive damage to walls, ceilings and floors over a period of time. If you notice that your water bill is higher than usual, you may have a hidden leak somewhere in your home that is causing damage. A professional plumber can help you locate the leak and repair it so that you don’t have to pay for expensive construction damage. If you have a burst pipe or other large leak, a professional water damage contractor can help to restore your property to normal. [Read more…]

Two-Acre Estate Charmer in West Meade~Hillwood

July 5, 2016 By Melissa Allen 1 Comment

I’m proud to show you around our new gorgeous listing at 5914 Old Harding Pike, Nashville, TN 37205. West Meade is filled with character homes and this property is no exception. The home, which sits on two flat acres (perfect for a pool) was built in 1965 by Cecil Fox, a very prominent home builder in Nashville in the 60s. Fox built the home for Leo Johnson of Johnson & Sons excavating. Johnson’s original home is the tudor style estate to the right of this home. When he developed the surrounding land — he saved this ‘best’ lot for himself and built his retirement home. Our clients are only the second owners. [Read more…]

Rainmaking in Raintree Forest: Just Listed 1518 Wesley Ct, Brentwood

February 24, 2016 By Melissa Allen Leave a Comment

raintreesignI’ve always had an affinity for Raintree Forest subdivision in Brentwood. It is an older, established neighborhood with lots of character and friendly neighbors. With amazing amenities– including a clubhouse, pool, playgrounds, tennis courts, and extensive walking trails — it is near perfection. And just minutes to the zoned, top-rated schools.

That brings me to our new listing at 1518 Wesley Ct, Brentwood, TN 37027. It officially hit the market yesterday. 4 BR, 2.5 BA, 3309 SF and .44 Acres (apx.). [Read more…]

One Swoon-Worthy Home in Fox Hunting Country Near Nashville

February 11, 2016 By Melissa Allen 6 Comments

front-of-home

Folks, I’m totally smitten with this 1831 ‘Greek Revival’ restoration and its envy-inducing interior.

Sometimes– actually, lots of times (because of where we live), we get to show amazing homes. It’s so much fun to show and sell a showplace. But, don’t get me wrong, please – I love showing all homes. Period. But, yes, there are occassional properties that just jump out from the crowd and leave me thinking … “Hmmm, if my client doesn’t buy it, I will totally attempt to convince my husband that we should live here.”

You know, those kinds of places. It’s an inherent job risk and side effect of being a Realtor®.

So recently, I was really wanting to move to Pulaski, TN. Scroll on for some serious eye candy and you’ll see why. [Read more…]

7 Tips for Buyers in A Seller’s Market

November 19, 2015 By Melissa Allen 10 Comments

Escalating prices, zero inventory, bidding wars… It’s crazy making for prospective buyers right now. Nashville has recently become a destination city in its own right:

  • Top 10 Seller’s Market (Zillow)
  • Top 10 New Construction Market by Inventory Growth (MPF Research)
  • Top 10 Commercial Real Estate Markets to Watch (PricewaterhouseCoopers)

I read a stat that Nashville grows by 80 people per day. Wowzer! Music City is expected to grow by almost 40 percent over the next 15 years, adding roughly 500,000 people. I’m sure you’ve noticed more traffic and cranes all over town? So, what’s a buyer to do to compete against other would-be homeowners? We have some winning tips and advice to help you snag your dream home, keeping the odds ever in your favor.
