Now Sold House on Iris Ln. Clarksville TN 37042This home is now sold and waiting to have some fix up done by the buyer that will make it a fine home. It was bought as an investor special and has a great floor plan that home buyers like. I like the big kitchen and bay window dining area. The master is on the main floor with 2 more bedrooms and another bath upstairs. There is a fireplace and a mostly fenced backyard.There are still investor specials in Clarksville's real estate market but buyers have to act fast. A prequalification letter or a bank letter saying the buyer is ready to move forward makes the seller more confident that the deal will close. If it is cash and not subject to appraisal will increase the chances over other financed offers.  Iris Ln. is in the West Creek High Scho... 05/19/2018

Throwback Thursdays - Remember the MLS BooksBefore computers were used in real estate we had newsprint and MLS books. As I entered the business in late 1980, there were no books. Agents made photocopies of a handwritten description and photo of their listings and delivered to the other real estate companies in town.The really organized agents put these in a 3 ring binder and used it as a reference. Back in those days we got a bigger share of the commission if we sold in-house. When that wasn't meant to be we used the photocopies to find other properties that might work for the buyers.Two months after getting into real estate we got published books of the listings. The book was like the Bible and we scoured it looking for properties that we could sell.This was a highly confidential book ... 05/17/2018
