As you all know, we honor a special teacher and an everyday hero each month. We do this for several reasons. One, we like knowing who is making a difference in our community and sharing that with more people. Two, we know that most of the time, that person is not recognized as much as […]
Real Estate Consumer Confidence in Rutherford County

Below are the results of the very first J. Harmon Home Team Consumer Confidence Survey. It was pretty interesting. Here are a few things that stood out to me. 1) Respondents were pretty evenly divided on what they think will happen with home prices and interest rates over the next year. This could indicate a […]

February Teacher of the Month: Ashley Bryant

J. Harmon Home Team would like to congratulate Mrs. Ashley Bryant on her award as our February Teacher of the Month. Mrs. Bryant’s nomination reads: I have a kindergartener who at first did not want to go to school and would cry every morning to now always wanting to go, even on snow days. She […]
Importance of Referrals

There’s an old saying that people buy people before they buy _____ (I would say Real Estate in this blank). In sales, more often than not, your job is not just to sell the product or service, but to sell yourself. Convince people that you are the best person for a job. That your product […]

In real estate, this word is thrown around all the time and quite frankly, it is nearly meaningless. “Normal” is so fact dependent and unique for situations it is almost impossible to define. Here is what I know, […]

Folks tend to have short memories and these things were practically gone for the past couple years. 1) Home Sale Contingencies–Never has been the most welcome part of a contract but for the past couple years, they’ve been next to impossible to […]
Unsolicited Real Estate Update

Interesting when you look at the numbers. What does this mean to you? Houses are still selling. Houses are not losing value overall. There are fewer sales overall, but prices are still high. If you are thinking of selling, this is a great time, but it might be different than the stories your friends told […]
Diving Into the Numbers

This week’s email will be lots of numbers and commentary on the numbers. It is definitely interesting to dive into how the market feels and what the numerical snapshot is. It feels like we’ve hit a wall. My favorite analogy is of a moving sidewalk at the airport. If you’ve ever gotten on one and walked on it, […]
