New Consulting Team in Chattanooga

There is a new real estate consulting team in Chattanooga and we will change the way you buy and sell real estate. For years consumers have paid real estate agents based on closed transactions, and they only got paid if and when it went to the closing table. This meant that when it came down to the wire and the deal was falling apart, the agent would do "whatever it takes" to hold the deal together. Sometimes even at the expense of the client's best interest.

Have you ever listed your home and it sold one day later? Then you paid the commission and wondered what you paid for?

Have you recently moved to the area and know nothing about the schools, different areas of town, amenitites offered in different communities or where the heavy traffic is at rush hour?

Do you need to know how much your home is worth without having the value over inflated in order to secure the listing?

Would you like to know how much your home value changes due to improvements to the property?

Do you have a home that just won't sell and you need an unbiased third party to come in and diagnose the problem?

Are you a first time home buyer who is not sure where to begin?

Do you want to buy a home, but don't know the first thing about obtaining financing?

Are you an investor who wants someone to help watch the market for a "deal"?

Do you need help deciding whether to sell, refinance or rent your home?

Are you ready to remodel your home, but don't know who to call for professional services at reasonable prices?
