SWEET HOME FRANKLIN! I have been fortunate enough to live right here in Franklin all of my life, and I must say, there’s no place I’d rather live. To be sure, there are places that have more “stuff ” but it doesn’t take much effort to remind me how lucky I am to live here.

All I have to do is look around at the natural beauty that surrounds me every day!

If you love waking up to spectacular mountain views, then Franklin is the place for you! Properties in and around our area have some of the best views anywhere in the world. Or maybe it’s the sound of a roaring creek or a waterfall, rolling pastures, retirement community living, golf course properties…it’s all available right here in Franklin!

So, as you look through our latest issue, take time to contact one of the real estate professionals featured in this guide to find the right place for you. Inventory is still near record lows, so if you see something you like, don’t delay! And as always, make sure you let them know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!

SEVEN REASONS TO WORK WITH A REALTOR

®

Buying and selling a home can be stressful. You need an agent who is a REALTOR®, a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, by your side. Here’s why:

1

GET THE INSIDE SCOOP.

3

NAVIGATE A COMPLEX PROCESS.

5 7

Real estate professionals have access to exclusive neighborhood and property information to make you a smarter buyer or seller.

A real estate professional can guide you on forms, disclosures, and the lending process to help you avoid costly mistakes and delays.

BE UP-TO-DATE. You may have bought or sold a home before, but markets and transaction processes are always changing.

2

SIMPLIFY YOUR SEARCH.

4

NEGOTIATE LIKE A PRO.

6

An agent can educate you on current market conditions and help you find homes that match your criteria using local broker marketplaces—known in the business as multiple listing services.

An agent has the expertise to negotiate terms, from price to repairs, on your behalf.

HAVE A TRUSTED ALLY. Your agent can talk you through the pros and cons behind big decisions and share their network of trusted home inspectors, lenders, remodelers, and more.

DO THE RIGHT THING. Make sure your agent is a REALTOR®. REALTORS® are bound by a strict Code of Ethics based on professionalism, consumer protection, and the golden rule.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AGENT AND A REALTOR® IS REAL. Visit: realtor.com/thats-who-we-r

REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS®
