Testimonials
"Thanks so much for all of your help in finding us a home in Nashville. You were always up-to-date with an ever-changing tight market and spent a lot of time trying to find the right house for us. When our needs changed during the search to include additional space for my parents, you switched gears with us and worked hard to find a house that would include the extra space we needed. When we found the house, you moved us quickly and effortlessly through the steps of getting a contract before someone else could snatch it up. Then you walked us through the final steps long-distance as we returned to East Tn to finalize the sale and move from our former home. We appreciate your clear communication and availability to us throughout the entire process and will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a home in the Nashville area."

"Brenda is a very caring realtor - you know from the beginning that she is going to work her hardest for you, yet put that personal, caring touch to all that she does. She was in constant touch with us during the time we were about to sell my home (which happened to be during the holidays), and everything was done in a timely and efficient manner. Anything that needed to be taken care, she either took care of it or told us who to contact to get it taken care of. If you had a question - Brenda had an answer!! No matter how busy she was, we still felt that selling my house was a priority to her. She was a pleasure to work with and we will highly recommend her to anybody who is needing a realtor."

""We used Brenda to both sell our home and find us a new one. The house we were selling was in a neigborhood that was still building, but she sold our house in a week getting the price we wanted! Then she went above and beyond in the search for the perfect home. She drove around neighborhoods she knew we were interested in, just to look - even if they were not on the market! In fact, the house she eventually located for us, wasn't even going on the market for five days, but we would have been out of town at that time. She convinced them to show it early and we've loved it ever since. If you need to sell or buy a house in middle Tennessee, you NEED to use Brenda Newman. She is professional, committed, driven and cares about her clients.""

Mike, Home Buyer in Jones

We are moving to the franklin area and were looking at a townhouse in franklin, but I have heard townhouses

Asked Mon Nov 10 2008, 12:36 by Mike  -  Nashville  -  Home Buying  -  6 answers
Brenda Newman answered:
Hi, Mike. I am a full time Realtor in Franklin, TN and would be happy to assist you in finding your new home. Depending on the price point of the townhome you're looking to purchase, you may or may not have a challenge selling. In our current market, both townhomes and single family homes can be a challenge. However, it's an amazing time to buy now if you're able.

What exaclty are you looking for in your townhome; what is your price point and time frame? Then we can go from there.

Thanks! - Mon Nov 10 2008, 12:53
Gale, Home Buyer in Minneapolis

We are considering a move to the Nashville area. We currently live in a planned community with amenities

Brenda Newman answered:
Oh, yes...there are several communities in and around the Nashville area. Depending on your price range, area of interest and particular needs, I can send a sampling of homes in these types of developments if you'd like.

Question removed

Asked Thu Sep 25 2008, 21:11 by Dan Manning  -  Nashville  -  Home Buying  -  8 answers
Brenda Newman answered:
Welcome to Nashville, Dan! It sounds like schools are an important factor in choosing a location to settle. I would recommend researching some schools around the area so you can decide which ones you feel most comfortable with. I have several links on my website which have great information about schools and the difference communities around Nashville. Williamson County schools are very reputable, as are Sumner, Rutherford and Wilson counties. Among these three counties, and with your price requirements, a 30 minute commute might be a bit of a stretch (drive time without traffic is definitely within the 30 minute time frame depending on the part of the county, however).

I'm here to help in any way I can, so please feel free to contact me!

Linda Lipsco…, Real Estate Pro in Tennessee

Would you use an agent with a full time job, other than real estate, to sell your home???

Asked Tue Aug 5 2008, 21:49 by Linda Lipsco…  -  Lexington  -  Home Selling  -  5 answers
Brenda Newman answered:
I've asked myself this question before and my answer remains the same...In a seller's or buyer's shoes, I would want the full attention of the Realtor representing my best interest. It's a contractual agreement, involving the biggest investment of my life, and I would not want to share my Realtor with his/her other job or jobs while depending on them to take care of me, too.

Part time attorney? Part time doctor? There's no way I'd hire one of those! The same goes for Realtors. - Wed Aug 6 2008, 07:32
