NASHVILLE CONTINUES TO RANK HIGH AS BEST CITY

Those of us who are natives to Nashville have known all of our lives that Nashville is one of the best cities in which to live. Those of you who have made Nashville your new home, did so because you too have realized Nashville is one of the best cities in the world.  As a native of this wonderful city, I take for granted the kindness and hospitality that we offer. In my line of work as a Real Estate Agent, I have folks tell me everyday how wonderful the people in Nashville are, and I take great pride in that.

But nice people are not all we have to offer. Nashville has a very diverse economy and that is why we have been able to stay ahead of other cities.  Of course Country Music is at the top of attractions to Nashville, but we have a building boom unlike most cities. We have wonderful universities such as Vanderbilt and Belmont, that attract students from all over the world.  Our city has always been able to maintain the fiscal budgets and having a more “conservative” attitude has helped in keeping our property taxes lower than most cities our size.

If you haven’t visited Nashville, you are truly missing out!

If you are thinking about making Nashville your new home, call me I will be happy to help you get to know this wonderful city,  and help you find a wonderful place to live.

Nashville named to Bloomberg’s 50 best places to live-2011

“52 Places to Go in 2014, New York Times”

Leather jackets and skinny jeans join cowboy boots.  Country music lovers have long made the pilgrimage to Nashville, but now the city has fast gained cachet among rock fans and foodies. The city’s vibrant scene is home to the Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Jeff the Brotherhood and Diarrhea Planet, who all  lay in town occasionally. And a youthquake is transforming scruffy neighborhoods like 12South and East Nashville into hipster hubs. New hangouts include Pinewood Social, a bar, restaurant, bowling alley and karaoke joint, and the 404, a restaurant and boutique hotel in a former auto garage. Add to that a thriving culinary scene, exemplified by the Music City Eats Festival, back for a second year in September. And Nashville’s old standbys — like the honky-tonk Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and the venerable Ryman — are as fun as ever. — STEVEN KURUTZ”

Tips To Keep Your Home Warm This Winter

Here are a few tips to help you keep your home warm during this

unbelievably cold winter:

1.  Install a Programmable Thermostat: 

If you do not currently have a thermostat that is programmable, it is definitely worth the

$40 cost to install one. Setting your thermostat at one temperature and leaving it there is

so much more cost efficient than have your furnace work overtime to warm up your house

during the day.

2.  Clean Furnace Filters at least once a month:

When your filters are dirty, the air has a harder time flowing through therefore causing

the furnace to work harder.

3.  Be sure all storm windows are closed:

I don’t know about you but I love to open my windows on the rare occasion we have a

warm day in the winter. Unfortunately I have noticed that I will close the window at

night, but forget to close the storm window. This allows the cold air to come in.

4.  Use one exterior door as much as possible:

Most of us have one exterior door that we use all of the time. For those that use a couple

of different doors, try using just one that is the farthest away from the main living area

and thermostat controls. Using one door cuts down on the cold air coming in from

different areas of the house.

5.  Keep ceiling fans running on the lowest speed:

Hot air rises, therefore ceiling fans are great in keeping the warm air circulating.

6.  Keep socks and sweaters handy.

I saved the best for last…. My grandmother always said “Socks and sweaters were

created for a reason”. So keep them handy, and if you catch a chill just reach for your

sweater instead of turning up the thermostat.

Stay warm…Spring will be here before we know it!
