About Me

My Mission Statement

As a real estate professional I bring a special blend of knowledge and negotiating skills to the table. My goal is to build life time relationships with every client. As a long time resident of Williamson County I bring an intimate and vast knowledge of the Williamson County Real Estate Market to every client relationship.

I believe the purchase of a home should be a smooth process where experience, expertise and communication work together to ensure the best possible result by utilizing strong marketing skills, extensive market knowledge and carefully focused attention in representing buyers and sellers.

My commitment to service extends beyond career. As a devoted husband, father and neighbor I devote a large portion of time not only to my clients but also to family and community. 20% of every real estate sale or purchase is contributed to charity. Ask about how your favorite 501c3 charity can benefit when you buy or sell a home.

Every Client relationship is backed by the extensive resources of Keller Williams Realty. As part of the Keller Williams Family I am committed to provide every client with reliable, informed, and professional service.

My Objectives

• Listen carefully to make sure I understand YOUR objectives and preferences
• Explain the home buying process thoroughly

• Discuss agency representation

• Diligently search for a home that meets your criteria

• Send you new listings as soon as they come on the market

• Provide you with a market analysis, so you are comfortable with the prices in your desired
neighborhood

• Negotiate on your behalf

• Diligently track the closing process on the sale of your home

• Communicate consistently, so you know what to expect

would you rent the house for 12 mths?

Asked Tue Oct 7 2008, 13:06 by Charles Ravel - 37064 - Home Buying - 3 answers

Mark Dershem answered:

Charles,

I work mainly in the Franklin and Brentwood markets.

Weather you should rent or buy really depends on what your future plans are. If you plan to stay in the home for more than 4-5 years I would say buy. if you are not sure then rent.

At this point in our real estate market there are alot of unanswered questions that will determine how fast our housing market will bounce back. What you want to avoid is buying a house that you will be needing to sell in the next few (3-4) years.

We expect our local market to begin to turn around this next year however, no one has a crystal ball and there are no guarantees so for a short term outlook it's best to RENT (not buy). That way if you need to move within 3 years you won't end up loosing your investment capital to commissions and closing costs.

If your move is expected to carry you through 4 years or more then buying would be a great idea since housing costs have dropped in our market which will maximize your profits on the home. Always remember your profit is made when you buy the home not when you sell. After comping the home I do think think the house you are looking at is a bit over priced for this market. Comps would support a lower value.

If you would like some assistance valuing this or any other home I would be happy to help.

Hi Dre,

That sounds wierd. Not sure how to help with registration other than to direct you to Trulia CS. In the meantime, I would be happy to assist you with any info you may need. I work mainly in Brentwood and Franklin and am a highly skilled realtor who works wboth with Buyers and Sellers. I noticed the home you were looking at was sold in February.

If there is there any additional info you need on the home please let me know and I will get it for you.

Are you looking to relocate to Williamson County? - Mon Oct 6 2008, 13:51

I'm interested in this home, but the address and the home don't see to match up!

Asked Sun Oct 5 2008, 20:14 by Jeff - 37027 - Home Buying - 3 answers

Mark Dershem answered:

Jeff,

The house is not in brentwood. I found it in antioch at 7375 OLE NOTTINGHAM DR. It must be a type-o. If you would like to see it I would be happy to schedule a showing for you. However, based on your original request being Brentwood I assume you are looking for Brentwood. If I can be of assistance please let me know.

I attached a link to the listing for you to see as well.

Thanks for allowing me to be of assistance!

I am a young professional who just moved back to Nashville in the past month. I am living with my parents

Asked Mon Aug 4 2008, 13:11 by Liz - Bellmont-Hillsboro - Home Buying - 11 answers

Mark Dershem answered:

Hi Liz, Any time you purchase keep in mind your exit strategy. What features have the broadest market appeal and which locations have the best appreciation track records. With these in mind now is the best time to buy. Your first step needs to be to secure the services of a buyer's broker. This person will be able to help you narrow your search in terms of what will best fit your lifestyle. This is also someone that will represent your interests in the transaction. While many brokers like to work with both sides in a deal, they can only fully represent the interests of one or the other without compromising either client. I would strongly recommend having your own representation at the table. My First recommendation would have to be the hillsboro area. It has a strong track record. You may need to think more in the lines of condo in this area. Sylvan park is good but it now a mostly renovated area it has moved past it's peak for selling. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 11:12
