When the rains came down, what did Nashvillians do? They rolled up their sleeves and went to work. It’s nothing short of amazing!
It’s so refreshing to see such a spirit of working together. There wasn’t much media coverage to let people know that we needed help…but that didn’t stop the people of Tennessee.
They brought their boats and worked through many, many hours to rescue their neighbors from the floodwaters. They brought food and supplies….and many are helping with the cleanup. And what about the country music artists? They immediately started radiothons and telethons to raise money to take care of the victims. Many personally donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the effort.
What a great place to live! I didn’t hear about any looting or shootings for food. I didn’t hear about any riots. When all the world seems crazy, it’s so nice to see people helping their neighbors during this time of extreme testing.
I want to say thanks to all the wonderful people in this community. And it’s not just Nashville! So many other communities were deeply affected – but it was the same story there as well. Help was there when it was needed most.
I’m grateful to have such an awesome place to live.

Naomi Judd's buffalo are running loose in Franklin!
The flooding is totally unreal! Interstates are closed, roads are impassable, shopping center parking lots look like white water rapids, people are catching fish in the middle of Gallatin Road … and only in Nashville, Naomi Judd’s fencing came down because of all the floodwater, and now her buffalo are running loose in Franklin.
A church building was floating down I-24. No one could ever have imagined such a flood as this. The Cumberland River is in danger of overflowing onto First Avenue at Riverfront Park. The Harpeth River flooding has caused much damage in Franklin, and Antioch has really been hit hard with this water. Even Centennial hospital’s entire first floor is under water…and they’re pumping water out of the Vanderbilt Children’s hospital basement.
Let’s all be careful and not drive anywhere unless we absolutely have to.
Don't sink in quicksand! Have an Exclusive Buyer's Agent on your side that will ask the right questions!
It’s true! I saw a local news report this week about homes in Nashville Real Estate being built on top of sinkholes. This is scary when you understand that neither builders nor developers are required by law to disclose this information to homebuyers.
This just isn’t right! Sometimes the worst possible mistakes are made when you don’t know the right questions to ask. Well, I’m going to do my best to solve this particular problem. Every home inspection that I’m involved with from now on will have a sinkhole investigation as part of it. My job is to protect my clients to the best of my ability. Do you know that in 30 years of being a Realtor, I’ve never once heard anything about checking for sinkholes. It just isn’t talked about!
It’s easy to determine where the sinkholes are just by checking the topo maps for Middle Tennessee. It’s crazy to ignore this…because even though it’s highly unlikely that your home has been built in one of these areas…it would be truly devastating if it happens to you.
Let’s don’t let this happen! Check it…don’t sweat it!
Nashville has most of the franchise restaurants that you will find everywhere else – but we want you to see our local restaurants. So, we’re starting a review of our favorites.
This is Chef’s Market in Goodlettsville and you will want to be sure to visit while in Nashville. The food is wonderful – the desserts heavenly! Whether its lunch, dinner, reception…or take out – Chef’s Market is the place to be.
I always enjoy taking new clients to Chef’s Market when we are house-hunting for Nashville Real Estate. And it’s always a hit!

Tennessee students will greatly benefit from this grant.
Tennessee has just received a large grant from the U.S. Government…a whopping $500 Million from the “Race to the Top” program.
Apparently most of the money will be used for professional development for teachers and investments in science, technology, engineering and math programs.
At least half the money must be distributed to Tennessee’s local schools…and every county will see some portion of these funds. It cannot be spent on existing budget problems…but instead must be used for new projects.
Let’s look forward to this grant helping more Nashville residents to obtain a degree, which will result in higher wages.

TN Real Estatecould be affected by by flooding if the Wolf Creek Dam fails.
In fact, downtown Nashville could be underwater for up to two weeks.
Work has been suspended for 4-6 weeks due to monitoring sensors picking up movement near the dam’s foundation. The movement is near the location where grout is being injected underwater. They are analyzing the Wolf Creek Dam stability at this point.
The movement is in a critical area where the earthen embankment meets the concrete dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will continue work on the non-critical areas of the repair.
Wolf Creek Dam holds back water from flowing down the Cumberland River to Nashville, and a break would surely affect specific TN Real Estate in a big way. Actually, there are 3 other dams between Lake Cumberland and Clarksville….but some flooding would surely cause a problem if the dam breaks! Dam!
