PUTTING PEOPLE AT THE CENTER OF REAL ESTATE

PROUDLY SERVING SOUTHEAST TN AND NORTH GA

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER & LEAD AGENT My vision of providing a seamless experience for our clients has evolved, shifted, and been shaped over many years' time. Through successes and failures, mountains and valleys, the lessons learned have proved valuable to crafting an experience unlike any other in our industry. At Smith Property Partners, we are committed to creating a unique real estate experience and tailor our services specifically to each individual. I began in the customer service field working in restaurants in 2004. From mixologist to manager, I worked every position learning the business- in and out. After meeting my wife Mackenzie, I decided to shift career directions. While real estate is a different customer service arena than restaurants, the principles of hospitality are the same. My obsessiveness to the details and commitment to my craft are relentless. My dedication to you is steadfast and ever-present. At Smith Property Partners, you are not just another house sold, but a member of our community. Welcome- We are so glad you're here

HOME STAGING We have partnered with Elevate Home Staging to offer each of our clients complimentary home staging. This is a value of over $2000 we take on because we believe in the results. More than ever, prospective home owners are shopping online. Staging a home sells a feeling more than anything by painting a picture of what your life could look like living there. With Elevate's average days on market being 4 days compared to the market average of 27 days, the results speak for themselves.

THE VALUE Over 97% of buyers search online first before looking at homes. Make your photos stand out among the rest! Once staged, homes spend 73% less time on the market. Homes that we stage have an average of 9 days (Average Days on Market in greater Chattanooga area is 45) on the market and sell for 99% of full original listing price. 81% of buyers say that home staging makes it easier to visualize the property as their future home.

THE INVESTMENT SIDE OF REAL ESTATE Whether you are buying your first home, your first flip, your first rental or something in-between, we are here to advise you through it all so you can make the best financial decision to move you forward towards reaching your goals.

EQUITY GROWTH

REITS AND ETFS

Over the past several years, the Greater Chattanooga area real estate market has increased by more than 9% year over year. Because of this realized growth, homeowners are able to leverage their equity by cash out refinancing or selling for a profit. We stay on top of this for you yearly so you always know where you stand in today's market. Many times by taking this approach, a homeowner can dive into the world of investing by freeing up their cash.

A real estate investment trust—the cool kids call it a REIT, pronounced “reet”—is basically a mutual fund that buys real estate instead of stocks. REITs have a special tax status that requires them to pay 90% of their profits back to the shareholders. This payment is called a dividend. Our partners are able to help you navigate these types of investments so you can make a sound decision,

BUY AND HOLD

FIX AND FLIP

Buy and hold real estate is a long term investment strategy where an investor purchases a property and holds on to it for an extended period of time. The owner typically has the intent to sell it down the line, but will rent out the property until then. Our team assists clients through educating them around this strategy, locating potential opportunities, and securing financing to make it all possible.

Fix-and-flip is the strategy of purchasing a property, renovating it, then selling it at a profit. This is HGTV in real life! Though the process may sound and look fun, especially on TV, it can be challenging but rewarding at the same time. We can help you discover new ways to locate properties and connect you with our vendors to do the work so you can accomplish your rehab goals.
