Advice for 1st Time Home Buyers in Tennessee

When buying a home for the first time it’s very easy to get wrapped up in all the excitement of looking at houses. You see the photos online, dream of your new home, and all the things you can do in the place. It’s exciting! However it’s important to keep it all in perspective and have some realistic expectations. I did a short video with some advice for 1st time home buyers here in Tennessee.

It’s REAL advice that 1st home buyers need to keep in mind BEFORE you go out looking at homes to buy.

It was truly a pleasure working with Dave on the sale of our home! We greatly appreciated his high level of personal and professional integrity, and the manner in which he took the time to return all our communications quickly. He was always thorough and accurate with his responses to our questions. He delivered as promised, getting us over and above the amount we wanted for our home. He made the entire process simpler and less stressful for us, and we highly recommend him!

We were looking to relocate from Illinois to Tennessee and Dave Townsend from Exit Realty Tristar came highly recommended to us. From the first conversation we had with him we immediately knew we were in the right hands. We were concerned about moving from one state to another mostly because of the unknown and we were unable to see the houses physically . If we liked a house, Mr. Townsend immediately would go to the property and send us a video of the house. The video was so detailed that it was like we were there. That gave us a tremendous piece of mind. He helped us throughout the purchasing process, it was very overwhelming but he made it easy, and he explained everything in detail. He also helped us find the right team from investment bankers, title companies, home inspectors, and he even sent us information on setting up all our utilities. We highly recommend Mr. Townsend, he is very professional, honest, and very patient. Also, it was a pleasure to work with him. He truly understands his clients interests. Thank you so very much Mr. Townsend and we can't speak highly enough about you and our entire experience! Sincerely, Ryan & Laura Flores

Dave was our agent for months as we were making the transition to moving to TN. He guided us through what was a stressful time for us with the utmost patience and professionalism. He is talented, resourceful, and a decent human being. We highly recommend him and can’t thank him enough for getting us in to our new home.

Dave was the second agent my fiancé and I worked with when we moved to Spring Hill. He is an amazing agent who will go above and beyond for his clients, answer your questions quickly, and is extremely knowledgeable of the area. There wasn’t a question we asked that he didn’t know the answer to. Our budget was on the lower end for Spring Hill but David made sure we saw everything on the market that may fit our needs and was patient when we were picky. I work for a real estate team in Chattanooga and wish we had more agents like Dave working with us. Thank you so much for all your help with finding a home!
