Brentwood TN Realtors Enjoy Halloween and support local Charities!
Today the office of Prudential Woodmont Realty Group hosted their Chili Cookoff and Halloween Costume contest in the conference room at the Prudential Woodmont Building. Agents were invited to bring their best batch of Chili and to dress up in thier favorite Halloween costume. Some agents did one or the other, some did both!
Agents were asked to bring an item for the Ronald McDonald House. Items included:
Canned soups
Paper Towels
Canned meats like Ravioli, Beef Stew, ect. Cereal
Tuna Fish
Pop Tarts
Hotel soaps, lotions, shampoo
And/or the Tennessee Baptist Childrens' Home by bringing a box of Cereal. True to 
their nature they stepped up and did all of it. Both of these are charities that the company and agents regularly support.
The Ronald McDonald House is available to the families of patients of the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. They rely on donations to feed these families.
The Tennessee Baptist Children's Home gets most of their food from Second Harvest. They often do not have the types of cereals that the children like.
Denise Williams was the big winner for the Chili Contest. This blogger can tell you it was certainly her favorite!
All in all, it was a great day. Good food, fun friends and doing good things for the community.
The Childrens home received 24
LARGE boxes of cereal and were delighted!
Bradford Hills/Holt Woods Halloween Parade This Saturday!
Whether you have children or just plan to hand out candy this year, kick off the Trick or Treating by attending the annual Halloween Parade. There will be dozens of children of all sizes and ages in costume and without. This is a great time to see your neighbors and enjoy the kids.
REMINDER
Be safe and keep you children safe.
Please drive extra slowly throughout the neighborhood ALL day on Saturday. Especially in the evening.
Please put some type of reflective clothing on your children after dark.
Do not let small children trick or treat alone.
Have fun this Halloween!

Nashville TN Real Estate - Villages of Brentwood Fall 2009 Market Report
The Villages of Brentwood have stayed strong in their sales this year. Closed sales are down 10% as of September 30th but of the 17 active listings 4 have financing or inspection contingencies and there are 2 pending. I predict that due to the pick up in First Time HomeBuyer sales starting in June that total sales will be up over 2008 in this neighborhood.
The Nashville TN Real Estate sales are down 30% over 2008 and prices down 11%. The Villages of Brentwood show none of those numbers and look like the place to be living.
| 2008 | 2009 | Percent Change | |
| Average list Price | $181,200 | $174,255 | -4% |
| Average Sales Price | $176,019 | $171,481 | -20% |
| Days on the Market | 94 | 88 | -7% |
Located in the Nippers' Corner area in South Nashville, this has always been a comfortable first time home Buyers neighborhood. Though there are many homeowners who have been there over 20 years and many retirees, those starting the home buying process often look here. The neighborhood is zoned for Granbery Elementary, which is a popular forward thinking school. The location is a short distance to Brentwood and Downtown Nashville.

We appreciate you! - Joy Fisher
Connie was an excellent asset in the sale of my home and the purchase of another. We found her to be ethical, honest and hard-working. She gave us a very good impression of the quality of people that her company employs.

I am writing you to extend my appreciation for the excellent service that was provided by Connie Harvey. Due to Connie's hard work, we recently sold our home in Brentwood. Prior to this sale, we had bought and sold real estate many times, both on our own and with the assistance of other Realtors. Thus, I believe I know the value of a Realtor is capable of providing. Connie Harvey was the first real estate professional I have used who inspired confidence and proved that confidence was well deserved.
My past experience had led me to believe Realtors fell into three groups. There were the ones who were good at getting to the point of writing a contract, the ones who were good at handling the details of the contract and closing, and there were the ones who weren't especially good at either. Connie proved to be one of those unique individuals capable of doing it all. She really worked at getting potential buyers in the door, knew how to structure the contract to avoid potential problems, and left nothing to chance in preparation for the closing. This work included making sure she understood our objectives in selling our home, truly understanding both the Nashville market and our neighborhood market, using special techniques to draw attention to the house, constantly seeking feedback from those viewing the house, providing regular and detailed updates to us on the feedback, working with potential buyers to make sure all concerns were addressed, working with the buyer's lenders to make sure no problems arose, working with the settlement attorney to make sure nothing was overlooked or left to the last minute and much more that I wasn't even aware of at the time. Beyond this, Connie proved to be a "people" person with an intuitive understanding of how to work with others. Whether I was buying or selling residential real estate in Nashville, I would give Connie all of my work.
Sincerely,
Mark Graham
You have been a God-send into our lives and we have enjoyed and appreciate each day of knowing you. Thank you for all your hard work and helping us achieve a goal, a blessing and a dream - our 1st home!

Connie had been sending postcards and we remembered her name from that. Her effort impressed us after having been badly burned by a failed relationship with a different realtor. Connie restored our faith. She came through 100%! She kept us informed every step of the way. She did everything she said she would do and was honest and straightforward in all respects. She worked hard to sell our house.
At the beginning, she promised she would be creative, and she followed through. She tried several inventive strategies to get our house sold. She also worked hard to bring the contract to closing. She's also just a pleasure to work with.
Connie is our realtor for life!
