The stories I hear from people that bought a house without investigating the neighborhood first are too numerous. The internet can be misleading and cannot replace the local insight of a professional real estate agent. As you choose your real estate agent, make sure that you are not just going to be a number. A real estate agent should be able to provide you with a personal service, accurate information, local insight and sincere advice. There is much that you cannot read about on the internet regarding a neighborhood or a location and many times the information would be out of date. Some websites that claims to provide information about neighborhoods in Cookeville were still calling Tennessee Tech University, Tennessee Polytechnical Institute. A name that changed decades ago. This just proved to me further the need for a reliable and current source of information and the relevance of the role realtors do in home buying and selling. If this is how much that they can provide about an institution that has a national and regional reputation, how much do they really know about a neighborhood that has just started or has been there for few years.

As you consider buying a home without the help of a competent realtor, ask yourself this question: Do I have all the information that I really need to know that what appears to be "a good deal" really is " a good deal"?

Relocating to Cookeville Tennessee was one of the best moves that my family has made. We have lived here for over 12 years, I am raising my children in this area, educating them in schools in putnam county so I know a lot about why moving to Cookeville, TN could be a great move for anyone considering relocating. When we first came Cookeville was voted second most affordable city in the US and it remains a very affordable place to live. Affordability alone would not make a place liveable if it was not for the great services available in Cookeville and Putnam county in general.

Like many other realtors, I rely to a large part in my business on personal connections, referrals from previous clients, family and friends. As the circle of clients grows, many realtors find it hard to keep in touch with all of those in the circle of former clients and potential leads. This could be the biggest mistake a realtor can do whether in Cookeville, Tennessee or Orlando Florida. It is crucial to stay in touch. The out of sight out of mind holds very true in the real estate business. I find it useful to keep those cards and emails flowing reminding my clients of what their business meant and continues to mean for me. Facebook proved a very useful tool that keeps me socially and professionally connected. If you do not have a facebook account, I advice you to sign up for one today. One important thing to add is the importance for me and all realtors to remind family and friends that their business is very much appreciated and that they are not taken for granted.

No one should be taken for granted in a business like real estate where the personal connection is core and an essential element of what we add as real estate professionals!
