About Me
I am the managing broker and team leader for RE/MAX Elite - The Atlas Marketing Group.

I take pride in delivering the best possible value for my clients. I am actively engaged in all facets of the real estate business including sales, construction, and development.

I am a workaholic and I am addicted to real estate. I love it. Since moving here in 2001 and the recent passing of my mother, I have dedicated myself to an unrelenting sense of purpose and pride in my work.

In 2007, I was honored to become the #1 commissioned RE/MAX agent in the state of Tennessee, and our team is one of the Top 100 RE/MAX teams in the world. I look forward to serving the needs of my clients with passion, dedication, and gratitude.

I believe that the best business models are RE/MAX, Exit, and Keller Williams.
If I were to start again, I would begin with a power team. Corporate training will not be as meaningful as working with an experienced team. - Wed May 21 2008, 11:07

Littlerain, Home Buyer in

What's your opinions regarding investment and resale value (plan to use the property 6 years) between buying?

If you don't mind an older building, you can get a 2/2 under 150k five blocks from Vandy.

That depends upon your price point. Any purchase at the entry point of the price scale should be a sound investment. You have a lot of options within 4-5 miles of Vandy. To answer your question properly, you need to determine your comfort level in the price range, then work backwards to look at all of the existing inventory. Condos are a mixed bag, and some developments are fundamentally better than others. It sounds as if you have a couple in mind already that may suit your tastes.

Having said that, I do believe that Green Hills and the Belmont/Lipscomb area will have parallel appreciation value as a whole to the immediate Vanderbilt area. New construction projects in the urban core are risky at this venture, and I would avoid them if my primary concern is appreciation. I would also avoid poorly done conversion projects. - Sun Apr 20 2008, 07:11
Hg, Buyer & Seller in Franklin

What is the buzz on the Riverwalk neighborhood? Is it a good investment?

Steve Chaisson answered:
Builders change names and company names and have various coporate identies. The BBB will not tell you the entire story.

It will not take very much digging by your agent, if you have one, to figure this out. It is not entirely appropriate for us to make specific references outside of the context of a fiduciary relationship with a client. We offer advice in this social networking context, but I do not believe most agents would specifically mention a name in this forum - you will need to fill in some blanks. Good luck and be careful. - Mon Apr 14 2008, 07:40

Susan, Home Buyer in Nashville

what do you think about the investment potential in the Edgehill area? Great variation in prices on Argyle,

Asked Sun Apr 13 2008, 13:26 by Susan  -  Edgehill  -  Market Conditions  -  5 answers
Steve Chaisson answered:
It is an absolutely wonderful area for investment. You have a variety of housing choices, which will be one of your considerations. A significant number of homes in the area were built in the 1970's and were publicly subsidized. You can still purchase a home like this in the low 100's and renovate. Interspersed amongst these homes are more traditional early 1900's bungalows, cottages, and transitional Victorians. For a more hearty renovation project, you can still find these occasionally that make sense.

Values will differ greatly from street to street. The closer you get to the Music Row area, the pricier the home will be. You really need to get a feel for the aesthetics of the street and the home you are looking at.

Wade is not zoned for Eakin. The following address should give you a cluster map for the school zone.
