Home Buyers: Are you a CUSTOMER or a CLIENT ?This is a great question that you really should know when buying a home. If you have not signed a Buyers Representation Agreement, you are simply a CUSTOMER. If you sign the Buyers Representation Agreement, then You are a CLIENT and your REALTOR can provide CLIENTlevel services. Yes, there is a difference between the two.
What is the difference between a Customer and a Client ?
As a Client, your REALTOR owes certain duties that are not required of a customer. To be considered a Client, this must be done in writing. This is done when you complete the Buyers Representation Agreement prior to writing an offer to purchase on any property.
Here is an exert from page 2 of 3 of the Confirmation Of Agency form used in Tennessee. Lines 51-54 and 64 -69:

Here is an update on the Clarksville Speedway Ordinance. Clarksville City Councilman David Allen seems to have a personal beef with the Clarksville Speedway or could there be a underlying motive as the Clarksville Speedway sits on 81.30 Acres.
Below is the e-mail from the Clarksivlle Speedway:

Many of you have contacted us wanting more information on whats going
on with the proposed city ordinance Councilman David Allen is
attempting to get passed imposing restrictions on the Clarksville
Speedway and your enjoyment of the facility.
William met with Councilman Allen last Friday in an attempt to help
Mr. Allen understand the speedway, our positions on the matter, and
why his proposed ordinance could put the speedway out of business
should it be voted and passed.
Below is a recap of the meeting as reported to me by William Scogin:
William says he met with Councilman Allen for nearly three hours which
ended up being nothing but "talking in circles" by Councilman Allen.
Councilman Allen stated to William that he's already confirmed enough
Councilmember votes to get the ordinance passed. He stated 11 out of
the 12 Councilmembers had given him confirmation that they were voting
with him to pass the proposed ordinance (several councilmembers have
stated to us that they are not voting to pass the ordinance). Mr.
Allen went as far as to say "Your voices don't mean anything to us
when we close the door to vote" and "My circle is much bigger than
your circle" (which he made a point to draw out a small circle for
William, and a large circle for himself), which seemed to imply he had
more power than us and would therefore get things the way he wanted.
William mentioned to Mr. Allen that the track already had a verbal
agreement with the leadership of our city. This is an agreement that
has been honored by the Speedway. Mr. Allen then stated that the
agreement wasn't worth "the paper it wasn't written on" (Sorry
Councilman, but to most of the good people of Clarksville, TN, a
gentlemans word and a handshake goes much further and gets more done!)
Councilman Allen made strong-arm statements indicating that the City
of Clarksville has no problems shutting down existing businesses who
interfere with their (The City) agenda, and has done so numerous times
in the past.
Councilman Allen then attempted another tactic of saying the young
adults at the Friday evening shows were in violation of curfew.
William then had to explain to Councilman Allen that a "Young Adult"
is in fact an adult! He explained that the average age of the
attendees to the Friday night event was 23 years of age and that a
good number of those were military. These young adults can serve our
country and fight for our freedom! They should also have the right to
enjoy venues in the community other than the local bars!
At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Allen had an interview scheduled
with a reporter from local Channel 3 out of Hopkinsville. William was
leaving the parking lot at that time when Mr. Allen broke from the
interview and rushed to Williams car window and stated "That girl
there (the reporter) wants to see the speedway shut down too". Later
that evening, the same reporter came out to the speedway. She
indicated that she lives near the track but had a hard time finding
it. Apparently the noise wasn't loud enough to guide her to the track.
She then asked William what it was Mr. Allen had to say to him that
was so important he broke from her interview. William told the
reporter what was said. The reporter denied saying such. Looks like
someone is lying!
The events and statements of last Friday surely makes me question our
leadership. Do we really want people like this making decisions that
affect our community?
I personally asked Councilman Allen how many documented complaints he
had against the speedway. He answered that there were no documented
complaints. So where does he come up with this? Is he making it up to
get his way for other reasons we are not yet aware of?
Please forward this email to your friends and family who reside in the
Clarksville area as all the citizens of our community have a right to
know how our elected officials feel about the businesses in
Clarksville. These are the very same businesses that employ many of
our citizens. These are times when our officials should be helping
local businesses - not trying to put them out of business!
We have posted an electronic petition against Councilman Allens
proposed ordinance on the Clarksville Speedway website. Please sign
the petition at www.clarksvillespeedway.com
Today there is a poll on the website of The Leaf Chronicle. It asks
what should the city council do about The Clarksville Speedway. The
poll can be found by scrolling down the page at:

History
by Eleanor Williams, Montgomery County Historian
Long before the dawn of written history, humans inhabited the lands along the Cumberland and Red Rivers. Clarksville, the only station to become a city, was established in 1784 near the confluence of the two rivers.
The town was named for General George Rogers Clark, Indian fighter and Revolutionary War leader. In December 1785, North Carolina established Clarksville as a town. Despite frequent Indian attacks, the town survived and prospered.
In 1796 when Tennessee became the 16th state, Tennessee County, of which Clarksville was a part, was divided into Montgomery and Robertson Counties. The name Montgomery honored John Montgomery, who was a founder of Clarksville, as well as a renowned Indian fighter and Revolutionary War leader.
The early years of the 1800's were progressive ones, chiefly devoted to the building of roads, railroads and bridges, and the establishment of churches and educational institutions. When the Civil War began in the 1860's, the residents were forced to make a momentous decision concerning the loyalty of the Union. In June 1861, Montgomery County citizens cast 2631 votes for separation and 33 against. Fort Donelson, Fort Henry, and Fort Defiance were established in preparation of the Union advance, only to fall to Federal troops in 1862.
After the Civil War, traffic on the Cumberland River continued to be of great importance to the community and Clarksville became well known for its production of dark fired tobacco, its primary money crop. From 1900 to 1940, Clarksville's trade and business progressed with the growth of the town being closely connected to the county farming area.
Education became an important theme in the county with the establishment of the Rural Academy in 1806 on the present site of Austin Peay State University.
Military activity again would impact the county during World War II when the army established Camp Campbell in Montgomery County. Over 42,000 acres were purchased and in June 1942, relocation of facilities was completed. The post was named in honor of General William Bowen Campbell. On April 15, 1950, the post became Fort Campbell when it changed from a temporary installation to a permanent one.
Montgomery County furnished two governors to the state, William Blount and Austin Peay; a United States Supreme Court Justice and a Postmaster General, Horace Lurton and Cave Johnson, respectively. Clarksville has the distinction of being home to the oldest bank in the state, the Northern Bank established in 1854, now AmSouth Bank; the state's oldest newspaper, The Leaf-Chronicle, established in 1808; and the first and only bank in the world established and operated entirely by women, the Women's Bank of Tennessee that opened in 1919.
During the 20th Century, Montgomery County has profited from communication and mechanical technology with a growth in population and industrial expansion. No longer dependent upon an agriculture base, the county has become an important transport, industrial, retail, and professional center with numerous recreational facilities.
Today, Clarksville, county seat of Montgomery County, is Tennessee's fifth largest, and third fastest growing city, behind only Nashville and Memphis.

Fort Campbell
FORT CAMPBELL
One of the key factors in Clarksville's growth is the relationship which it has with adjoining Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), the 160th Special Operations Aviaition Regiment (SOAR), 5th Special Forces Group and 101st Corps Support Group. The 101st Airborne Division is one of the most powerful and prestigious divisions, having made a name for itself during World War II as the Screaming Eagles in Bastogne, Market Garden, Holland. Today, the highly trained soldiers of the 101st are the world's only Air Assualt Division. The 101st participates in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions at home and abroad.
Over 30,000 soldiers and 55,000 family members call Fort Campbell home. The installation manages the records of some 4,000 civilians, with approximately $2.5 billion per year, making it the largest employer in both Tennessee and Kentucky.
