About Me
With over 10 years of corporate business experience in sales and marketing and having been a senior consultant to major corporations in the area of customer service for a number of additional years, I bring that combination of expertise with a passion for real estate and helping people to the local real estate world.
When you purchase a home, whether you consider yourself a real estate investor or not, you've just made one big investment. It affects more than your finances, it's about your life. So I understand how important it is to listen to you and help guide you as you act on both the emotions of a life changing event and the business of making a huge financial investment and commitment.
To me, it's important that you know my values and who I am. I love the opportunity to prove my hardworking ethics, honesty and integrity. I would not work with anyone I could not trust and you should not either. I highly value communication and will work hard to get you the information you need when you need it.
Finally, I will take all of my experience and expertise and work to creatively and innovatively make your customer service experience exceptional in valuable, rewarding and an overall win/win relationship for both of us.

I see where you're going with this question. Prior to 1997, you had to purchase a less expensive home within 2 years to avoid being taxed on your home sale.
Now it is as has been stated below. You don't have to roll all of your gains (or any, for that matter) into another house. You certainly can though. There shouldn't be any effects regarding your purchase (whether cheaper or more expensive). It's just that in order to be free from the tax, you can not have gained more than $250,000 if an individual or $500,000 if a couple in your primary residence of at least 2 of the last 5 years.
An expert in that area can help you further, so if there are more questions consult a tax professional.

The lots are smaller in Highland Park and since these were built in the 90s, you will run into more outdated interiors in Highland Park than Bonbrook. Bonbrook is also a smaller community than Highland Park.
Highland Park is extremely close to the high school. Some people think that's great. Others may not. It depends on whether that's attractive to you or not. But essentially, school aged children could walk to both elementary and high school from Highland Park.
Highland Park will have more family community amenities with: pool, playground, park, clubhouse, and tennis. Bonbrook has a playground and walking trails.
Lastly, Highland Park is, as it's been said, closer to I65 and Cool Springs. Bonbrook is on Concord Road.
So it really depends on what is most important to you!

In terms of being counted in the square footage it will be included in the square footage if it's heated and cooled, just like the rest. As for the "value", even with windows, it still may not be valued as much as the upper floors, if that's what you mean. Some say it's about 3/4 of the value of the upper levels.

Absolutely, Lisa has the correct information on that neighborhood since she's the listing agent. She's an amazing listing agent, at that.
I will say that Stream Valley's homes that were built for the Parade are quite nice. I helped her answer questions about some of the Parade homes that year for several of the days and I can tell you that people had nothing but great things to say about the homes. You'll have several high quality builders in that neighborhood once it gets off the ground. Though it's on the south side, it IS in Franklin. Because it has easy access to the Interstate it's really not as bad of a drive as you might think. There are actually very popular neighborhoods in Franklin that have further drives to Nashville than this one...so it's worth taking a look!
I'm not sure where you are in Ohio, but if you know Columbus at all, it would be like comparing the drive from Delaware, OH to Columbus. Actually, I think the drive from Delaware to Columbus would be longer. Does that help?

Have you tried Google Street View? It's a great way to see streets for yourself (as much as you can online) to get a better idea of what the area looks like. All you need to do is plot the street on a Google Map, then you can move your pointer anywhere you want on the street or other streets around it. You'll see a plus/minus guide on the left with a man on top. If you click on the man and drag it to the area you want to "view" it will then show you the street view. You can rotate that street view all around and move it to other areas. Nothing is as good as the real thing, but it sure gives you something. Try it out!
