There is slight drop off in number of units built and sold in the past year, but since this is still a growing community that is to be expected. Overall the trends are still favorable for condo ownership, here as well in other parts of Franklin, TN.

Market performance is not the only reason to buy in a neighborhood, it may not even be the best reason, but when you buy, don't you want to know?

Downtown Franklin, TN - Pretty as a Picture...

Michael Thornton -  Nashville, TN area Home Inspector: Inspector in Brentwood, TN
The city of Franklin, TN was founded in 1799 and was named after Benjamin Franklin. Long the county seat of Williamson County TN, Franklin, TN is richly steeped in history and tradition. What I like about this town is that, today, it is a unique blend of the old and the new. The old downtown section, is much like it was at the turn of the century. One can walk down the sidewalks and browse in the stores along Main Street and feel like you have stepped back in time. I especially like this time of the year when the city gets all decked out for the Christmas Holiday Season. I got out early this morning as dawn was breaking and took some pix of the downtown section...
Hope that you enjoy...

Sometimes It's the Little Things That Makes a Big Difference...

Michael Thornton -  Nashville, TN area Home Inspector: Inspector in Brentwood, TN

I find that while doing inspections of rehabbed units, it is often the little things that often get overlooked by the person doing the work and sometimes the home inspector. A client once told me a story about how there was an issue with a kitchen sink that could have been caught, had the inspector taken a few moments to fill the sink. This oversight cost the client several hundred dollars.
It has long been the practice of this company to take a few moments to fill the basins on the sink. Not only does this test for leaks, but it tests the condition of the baskets and raises any potential drainage issues.


One of the best ways I have found to test the functionality of sinks is to fill them with water, leave one side plugged, and let the water out of the other basin. If the plumbing is correct, the other side should drain quickly and properly - no gurgling or bubbling.


Because the right side bowl was draining slowly, a look under the sink revealed that the home owner or handyman forgot to install an air admittance valve. The purpose is to allow air into the drain system so that the water can properly evacuate the sink. This is a straight forward repair which should be easily corrected by a real plumber...

Join my birthday alarm. It is fast painless and the best part of all, you will be helping me out.
