Need some Commercial property in Nashville?

As a Real Estate agent in Nashville, I enjoy being a resource for just about anyone looking for just about any type of property. Our team doesn't just limit itself to residential. We help those searching for schools, lakefront property, equestrian, and even COMMERCIAL Real Estate.

I have had clients look for just about anything. One client wanted to buy a house BUT wanted it to be an old church! Whether or not you are looking for an old school house to live in or need some retail space for that great idea, let the Strickhausen team be your resource!

Go to our WEBSITE and click on "Home Search" and then "Commercial Property". You will be able to view ALL commercial real estate in the Nashville area within the MLS. This is a great tool. In addition, if you are not finding what you need then please feel free to contact us. We have a huge network of agents who have what you are looking for...just not on the MLS.

Your Nashville home search! Better and easier

Most Realtors want people to be able to use their website as a one stop shop for everything Real Estate related.

One of the most useful is not necessarily the most popular. Some agents want to be able to send listings to potential clients so that "THEY" can be the resource for a Home search. Sometimes people want to just "window shop" before they decide to take the next step.

Did you know that most people go to car lots on a Sunday...when the dealership is closed. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO TALK TO A SALESMAN!! When they are ready they will come in on a Friday afternoon and sit down and talk about the details. It may take some time for them to warm up. It may take a quick email from the buyer to see if there are any specials or what they could offer that no one else can. The catch though is to HAVE that car lot...even on Sundays, so that people can browse at their convenience.

Have the resources available to people so that when the time comes, YOU will be the one they trust.

Montpier Farms Home for sale. Perfection!


I have just been greeted by perfection. Welcome to 1002 Murray Creek Ln. “Montpier Farms” in Franklin TN! I entered the front door of my team’s new listing and was taken back by the detail and thought that went into the renovation of this home. Not only that, but the decorating was exquisitely beautiful. Homes these days are so open and exposed room to room that foyers are not really seen anymore. I, myself, love them because there is something to be said for the elegance and charm they immediately bring to a home. As I stood in the foyer of this home I could see the formal areas to my right, living spaces in front and a hall to my left that led to three of the five bedrooms in the home. The formal area of the homes contained two spaces, each very large. The hardwood floors added to the elegance, as did the multiple over sized windows. The moldings led your eye around the room that was covered in soothing tones and lovely paintings.

The kitchen is completely new and features granite, stainless steel and beautiful trim work. It is open to the living space, which also features hardwoods and gorgeous trims. The focal point of the room is the modern, yet charming, fireplace. The light colored brick goes from floor to ceiling, which shows off the high ceilings. Standing in the living space I was able to look through one of the several windows to see the tremendous backyard with trees in the distance.



The bedrooms in this house are huge. Two of these rooms are down the hall and share the full bath. The other room at the end of the hall is the master suite, featuring a gorgeous master bath. All of the rooms have beautiful hardwoods and high ceilings. The closet space would give room for everything needing to be stored.



Everything I had seen in this house was fantastic. The details and amenities were perfectly done. However, When I started to explore the other side of the house I was taken back by just how perfect this house is. On the other side of the kitchen is the laundry room and a very large bedroom with a full bath. This room is separated from the rest of the house making it ideal for guests. To my right there was a staircase that led to a fantastic living space. This room was truly tremendous. With ceilings that seemed to go forever and new carpet, this room is perfect for kids or entertaining. The room was being used as a children’s play room by the owners currently living in the home. They had all tows and games in the room along with a huge television. This room was great and has limitless uses.



As I turned the corner I was greeted by another staircase. This staircase led to what was the smartest part of this renovation. The next space was 1400 square feet of finished living space with an option bedroom and bathroom. This room was gigantic. Brand new carpet, beautiful wall colors and ceiling fans carry on the standard for perfection in the rest of the home. The owner of this home could make this a theatre, guest quarters, home gym or even rent this space out to someone looking for a one bedroom rental.



In all, this house was truly a gem. The colors, flooring and detail that went into the renovation come together and create a warm, charming and livable space. I was almost sad to leave when it was time to go.



Yes, There is more! Montpier Farms is a mature neighborhood with large lots. This home sits on over 2 acres of level land with large trees. This is truly a getaway with the convenience of Franklin and Brentwood at your fingertips. I hope you will check this fantastic home out on the website at http://www.Sstrickhausen.com It is our featured home!

Talking about the $8,000 tax credit...not good


I hope that everyone has enjoyed the benefits of the $8,000 tax credit whether you are a first time home buyer or an agent.

For buyers of course, this helps with home ownership for those that typically might not even consider buying. I have personally seen several families take advantage of this opportunity. The credit has not "turned the market around" here in Nashville but it has definitely "stimulated" it. The most recent months have seen those that have been sitting on the fence finally get on the home ownership train.

In my opinion, the whole point of having a deadline is to encourage even the procrastinators to make a decision. Sure, this decision may turn into a last minute offer on November 13th with a contingency that they "Must close by November 30th". November 13th is a Friday by the way....Scary in more ways than one:)

The question with those that are on the fence has been "Aren't they going to extend the deadline"? Of course I don't truly know the answer to that BUT (being the honest person that I am) I have to tell them "That is a possibility". The truth is, IT IS A POSSIBILITY and the reason why I know this is because IT'S ON THE NEWS!! It's in the media and of course once you start talking about an extension then those that are on the fence are more than likely going to STAY on the fence.

What is the point of that?? There is still time to find a great first home before the deadline. If the government is trying to stimulate home sales then DON'T LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG. If they are going to extend the deadline then wait until AFTER the deadline to make the announcement.

I DO think that they should have a 2 week "grace period" for those first time home buyers that are already under contract. There WILL be last minute contracts and Title companies and Lenders will have their hands full. Bottom line is that with the talks of extensions come talks of waiting. The $8,000 was a great idea but the full benefit of it comes from waiting until the very end to announce or even talk about extensions.

Custom Builders can help those on ANY budget!


There are a lot of people who tend to steer clear of building a new home. I am not just talking about walking into a model home and picking out 3 or 4 options and having a new home in 3-4 months. I am referring to sitting down with a custom builder and having him build the house of your dreams.

There are many reasons why people tend to stay away from this option.

1) Time. Custom homes can take anywhere from 6 months to two years. This of course depends on the budget and how often the wife changes the cabinets and wall colors :)

2) Effort. This task is far above and beyond the typical walk-through a model home and picking out 1 of 4 tile options. This is a start from scratch job that requires figuring out floor plans, the land to build it on, and THEN all the paint, brick, roof, and tile colors. This is not a one hour meeting!

3) Money. Generally to do a true custom home takes more dollars per square foot than most "cookie cutter" homes because...well...they're cookie cutter.

I have recently been working with a home builder here in Nashville that can debunk all of those myths. He even pays a Real Estate agent their commission who brings him buyers. He believes that having a Realtor will help the process run smoother and is well worth his dime.

I have seen his work and he is just about impeccable. He builds anything from a 1200 sf barn in Liepers Fork to a multi million dollar estate in Franklin. As far as price goes, he can stay within your budget! Clients meet with him with their max budget for land and everything. He then tells them everything he CAN do within that price range.

The Effort is taken on by the builder. Sure, you can go out there everyday while it is under construction but he takes on all the work and headache. This of course is where the agent comes into play. We have a reputation for taking bullets for our clients:)

The time it takes is generally 6 months! I know this is about 2 months longer than building a spec home BUT instead of spec you get your DREAM HOME!!

Don't forget to count out the custom builders for your clients! This could be the best decision they make!

Why is my home not selling??

Realtors should all have a general knowledge (if not an extensive knowledge) of things like contract writing, negotiating, Real Estate law, etc. Sure, some agents are better than others when it comes to those things. Some may be more shy than others and can't negotiate as well. Others may have to ask their Broker to help them fill out the contract. Bottom line is that there are a LOT of agents who have a good knowledge of the basics.

When it comes to listing a home though, what sets a good listing agent from a GREAT listing agent?

MARKETING!!

Don't all agents have access to the MLS? Don't all agents have a decent looking sign that can go in the front yard? Don't most :) agents hold open houses from time to time? What happens AFTER that is what separates the men from the boys (sorry ladies), the pee wees from the Majors, the good agents from the GREAT ones. EXPOSURE is the primary job of a listing agent! Think about it... How to we hear about a product? TV, radio, word of mouth, the internet, etc. I know that most agents don't have the money to advertise on the radio or television BUT we ALL have access to the internet (If not then get a new occupation).

Put yourself in a potential buyers position (before contacting an agent). What is the FIRST thing that you might do? GET ONLINE!

We have one of the most powerful tools at our fingertips and the best part is that it doesn't cost anything more than our monthly bill. When a buyer is looking online why doesn't your home show up? Probably because IT ISN"T THERE!! Again, it is in the MLS but that does not show up in a normal Google, Yahoo search. What about the families in Miami doing a search for Nashville homes for sale? Even better, what about the families that just MIGHT be in Malaysia looking at Real Estate in your home town? A "GREAT" listing agent will find a way for 1,000's and 1,000's of people to see their home.

Agents have a habit of stating why their listing is the best thing that has happened since sliced bread. Who reads those catchy words? OTHER AGENTS!! As an agent I have trained myself to see past that anyway. Potential buyers are the ones that need to see why your listing is the best thing on the market.

There are MANY MANY ways to have a your listings show up online. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace are bigger than what you may think. What about shooting a video of each listing and uploading it to your Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, etc. You can tag these videos with the key search words! Let's say you have a home in the "12 South" area in Nashville, you can tag that video as "12 South home for sale, Nashville". When that family from Miami searches in your neighborhood then that video WILL show up!
