We Are Now Real Living Southland

2010-12-07T02:08:00.000-05:00

Southland GMAC Real Estate is now Real Living Southland. Great NEW website. Second to none! Click on my link and see what it's all about.

Facebook Friend or Foe

2010-12-07T01:27:00.000-05:00

Whether you like it or not as of July 2010 statistics indicated that over 500,000 people use Facebook all over the world. Such growth since February 2004 is unbelievable. The social application has created friendships between hundreds of users who friend each other, chat, play games and participate and interact with others through pages created by users. You may hate it when your friends send you "virtual gifts", Farmville invitations, Wheel of Fortune, Mafia Wars and so on. How about when your wall is loaded up with Yo'ville, Frontierville, Farmville, and now Cityville. Then you see someone has made a page that they don't care about your farm, your fish, your cafe or your Mafia. Hey you guys, don't you know if you don't want to see it just BLOCK the application! Simple solution.

Personally I think these games are fine. Great for relieving some stress. That's what they are for....to have fun with! If you have friends that you know don't like them don't post on their walls. Friends if I post on your wall and you don't like my game, don't delete me, block the game. I don't mind the games if I play them, what I don't care for is when users THINK others are interested that they clipped their toenails today or their dog threw up on the rug. WHO CARES??? Oh brother! Let's see what they're saying now...."Getting ready to do some unpacking...." Who cares! "I hate my XXXX job at XXXX" Then get another one, at least you have a job!

Think before you vent for the world to see!

Sometimes you may be frustrated and want to blow off some steam. Cell phones make it so easy to vent your anger on the world wide web via facebook within seconds. Even at work. People, think about what you are saying before you post it for everyone to see. Don't go posting stuff that can come back and BITE you in the butt! Did you know many employers look you up on facebook before they consider offering you a job or a promotion? And once you get that job..... Don't go trashing your employer for everyone to see! If you don't like your job don't belittle your employer on the internet. It can and will be used against you. Granted we do have freedom of speech....but your employer also has freedom to hire and fire at will and many times without cause, so don't give them a reason!

Facebook can be a good thing. Ever wonder what happened to your best friend in 5th grade? Old friends find each other and catch up. Families and friends can stay in touch. Friends band together and pray for those in need and offer words of encouragement. You can see your baby nieces and nephews as they grow up through photo sharing. I have heard of users who have found lost relatives and reconnected. How wonderful is that? And how fun to have everyone wish you a Happy Birthday! Everyone loves to feel SPECIAL.

Whether you like it or not facebook is here. How you use it is up to you.

Old Barns

2010-12-06T23:54:00.000-05:00

Being a Realtor® I spend a great deal of time in my car. Over the past few years I have come to realize that I love seeing the old barns scattered throughout the East Tennessee area. Each barn is different. Some of them are very simple structures built only to serve a purpose and some are have very unique features and are very beautiful. Some are bare rustic wood and some are painted different colors that brighten up the countryside. Each barn has character and is beautiful in a a rustic sort of way. Although I have seen hundreds of beautiful barns I have not always been able to just conveniently pull over and take a picture of them. Here are some of the barns that I have been able to capture along the way. Hope you like them too!

My How Time Flies

2009-08-18T08:06:00.003-04:00

Seems like yesterday that the government announced the $8000 tax credit for 1st time home buyers who want to take the plunge into home ownership. What a great incentive for home ownership. Hurray for the those folks who have taken advantage of it so far. I wish I could have qualified. I can think of many things I could use $8000 for these days. Like a fun camping trip in October and a vacation to Florida in the spring.

It is sad though that many will be disappointed who will not qualify because they are waiting until the last minute and time is not on their side. There is only 105 days left in which to get
pre-approved for a loan , find the perfect property, negotiate an offer, process the loan, have all inspections, make any necessary repairs, surveys, title work and get it closed on or before the 30Th of November. With loan processors taking sometimes twice the time it used to to get the loan through underwriting and to the title company. If you are buying a bank owned home, a short sale or a home that is being handled by a relocation company prepare for a longer negotiation and many times a longer wait to closing.

If you want to take advantage of the tax credit before it is too late contact me now. I will help you find a great mortgage person (one who has provided exceptional service to past clients) to get prequalified, find that great house for your needs and get you to closing in time to qualifty for the $8000.

$8000 Tax Credit

2009-04-29T17:05:00.003-04:00

There has never been a better time to buy your first home than NOW!

If you have thinking about buying that first home, now is a great time. For those who are qualified NOW is the time for you to OWN YOUR OWN HOME! Interest rates are at a record low, home prices are favorable with a wide selection of properties to choose from and if you buy now and close before December 1st, 2009 you may qualify for the $8000 tax credit.
In its efforts to stimulate the economy and revive the housing market, Congress enacted legislation providing a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers.

Tax Credit Facts

The tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For this program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.

The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
The credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.

But time is of the essence for buyers who want to take advantage of this opportunity. Only homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009 are eligible.

Call or email me for more information or if you need an agent to assist you in finding the perfect home and taking advantage of this great opportunity to own a home before it is too late.

Open Houses

2009-02-23T13:23:00.004-05:00

I held an Open House at one of my new listings yesterday and was very disappointed that there were not many buyers out and about. The home is a great home located at 2920 Billings Way in The Villas at East Towne in NE Knox County. It is an awesome detached home on a small level lot in a planned unit development conveniently located near Knoxville Center Mall, Sams Club, Walmart, movie theatres, medical centers, churches, schools, restaurants and easy interstate access. The home features a large master with cathedral ceiling, full bath and walk in closet. The living room also has cathedral ceiling and a corner fireplace. Kitchen/dining combo, laundry room, 2 guest bedrooms, full guest bath, 1 car garage and a private patio overlooking level back yard. As I arrived I noticed the flowers are beginning to pop up in the entryway by the small stone fish pond. The low monthly HOA fee, $63 covers amenities such as pool, trash collection, lawn care, and exterior maintenance. The home has been well kept and is move in ready. I know the weather may have been a factor but still I thought more buyers would be out and about with the news last week of the tax credit for 1st time home buyers. Oh well, yesterday is gone and we will plan for another open house soon. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and will bring the buyers out to see this lovely home.

Take a Break and Go Fishing!

2009-02-20T22:53:00.005-05:00

Last Friday we (me and my husband) decided to take a much needed break from work since the weather was cooperating and so we hooked up the boat and off we went to the lake for what we hoped would be a successful day of not only fishing but actually catching fish......As we launched at Cove Creek on Norris Lake in Andersonville it was so nice as we cruised the lake looking for a good spot to try out luck. We just never could quite find that right spot. This is the hardest lake I have ever tried to catch fish in. We just cannot seem to find the right pattern. Although I love being on the lake whether I am catching fish or not it would sure be nice to at least catch on to what we are doing wrong and luck up on a good fishing spot every once in a while so we don't feel like total losers! Sometimes it seems like the fish know when we are coming and they all go into hiding until we give up and pull out. We used to fish more at Douglas and Fort Loudon (much easier fisheries) and really did pretty good most of the time. If anyone can give me any hints on how to catch the fish in Norris Lake I would be so happy. At least when we go fishing at Norris we have a nice picnic on the boat and enjoy each others company for the day. No TV and no Internet.

2 New Listings in Knoxville, TN

2009-02-18T00:44:00.006-05:00

Well it's been a busy week. I listed 2 awesome properties , one on Saturday and the other on Monday. The Saturday listing is already seeing a lot of action and I expect it may be sold very quickly which means the sellers can relocate as planned. SOLD! This is the result of a well prepared home priced right!

The 1st home is located at 6605 Shrewsbury Drive in Fair Oaks S/D in zip code 37921. It is a very pretty home and the minute you step in the front door you immediately feel at HOME. A place for everything, everything in its place. That's the motto here. No clutter, clean, fresh paint, awesome home. All this for only $123450

Next, on Monday I listed a detached home in the Villas at East Towne at 2920 Billings Way and let me tell you this home is better than it was new! How do I know? I lived in the Villas at East Towne for 10 years and I loved it! Everyone in the community cares about it and wants to make sure it is a neighborhood where people want to live, raise their families and retire. You can tell it from the minute you drive into the subdivision. The home on Billings is so pretty. When I stepped into the front door I immediately remembered why I moved there. The open floorplan makes the home feel spacious, the cathedral ceilings, split bedrooms, huge master with walk in closet. Such a great floorplan. A private covered patio out back. Community pool. This is where my 2 kids learned to swim. Such wonderful memories. Still when I drive by my previous home on Kalispell Way one street over I always feel proud of the flowers I planted that return every year, my pink dogwood in the front yard and the redbud in the back yard that me and my dad found in the woods which blessed us with awesome color each spring. Want a great home to start making your memories. 2920 Billings Way Offered at $125,000

This is my first blog post ......

2009-02-10T13:49:00.004-05:00

so I wondered what would be a good topic to talk about.......I decided that I would first talk about my company. I am a Realtor® and I placed my license with Southland GMAC in Knoxville, TN. I did so because after I interviewed several Knoxville brokerages this one felt like home with real people trying to help each other be successful, not just somewhere where you get lost in the shuffle and no one cares if you succeed or fail. We all work to help get our listings sold, cheer each other on over our successes and offer support when things are tough. It doesn't matter if you are a new or seasoned agent Southland is going to give you the support you need to make it. Our agents are at Southland because they are determined to succeed. Many real estate companys are larger (have more agents) but are not as productive as our agents are. At Southland we are expected to work or find another company. What that means for our clients is the peace of mind in knowing that if you list your property with a Southland GMAC agent, you are going to have a dedicated agent working hard as well as 49 other Southland agents working to get your property sold! We work equally hard with buyers since if we don't sell something, we don't eat. In one of my future posts I will talk about my website brendajolly.net and how I can help you sell your property and/or find the perfect property to meet your needs. Watch for our new feature coming in March, "SiteSeer3D" that will make searching for a new home a unique and fun experience.
