This last week of 2017 at Hutch & Howard has already been interesting. Amid some wonderful listing appointments, closings, creating vision boards, discussing a variety of new tactics and plans, plus meeting new people – we got to enjoy our families and friends at Christmas in Knoxville and out of town!
This week we listed a beautiful horse farm in Lenoir City with an epic tack room, barn and showing ring just a few miles from Farragut. What fun it was to talk about the farm and hear stories about the place with the owner. His Tennessee Walking Horses had won several championships – hats, belts, ribbons and trophies were all prominently displayed in a few of the rooms, along with all the accouterments that come with being horsey people. I look forward to showing the place once Eric, our photographer, has the pictures back. That’s the perfect place for him to shoot with the drone and possibly do a video tour skipping around more than 19 acres with a small airplane hanger and lots of other cool things to see! I’ve been amazed how many people have decided to buy/sell and move this year around the holidays! Historically, real estate has been a little slow this time of year but the closings in December and coming up in January are still happening!
I’ve had several friends contact us over the past couple weeks talking about THEIR friends who were ready to make moves. I really appreciate
Andy, Gina, Victor, Jennifer, Macy, Gina, Oscar, Lindsay, Alissa, Shawnee and Meghin and others who have called to talk real estate and mention either friends in common or their friends and family who are making moves. It’s always encouraging to get recommended friend when people are looking to sell or get a new home. I was excited the day before when I got a message from a friend and former client that her friends were moving into town and she wanted us to help!
A neat thing I learned this week, as an aside, was that most folks have identity fraud coverage through their homeowner’s insurance! A nifty bit of information that came up in conversation with my smart girlfriend when we were discussing what folks might like to know as added value from this little blog.
Making vision boards and looking at stuff related to how we will accomplish our goals was very inspiring as well. It’s funny how individual and different yet similar our desires, needs and wants were once put to paper – they aren’t as elaborate as my friend Natalie’s epic works of vision have been over the years- but she’s an artist at heart and puts her all into things like envisioning her goals. Probably a big part of how she accomplishes so much! The way vision is shared around our offices is one of the more inspiring things about the team of teams and individuals at Keller Williams. I’m proud that Hutch & Howard is part of that.
