Forest House
The next 6 months are going to be full of firsts and more highs and lows than we can keep track of. Tina and I have embarked on the journey of rehabbing this historic 125-year-old home in the heart of North Chattanooga, a cherished property that has remained within our family since the building of it. We are filled with anticipation to see what the future holds for this beloved home. We help our clients with these types of projects all the time and this is not our first project but it is the most meaningful to us by far. As we were talking about it, something hit Tina and I - not many homes can say this but in this home's life there has never been a mortgage. A testament to the legacy of our family, this fact adds an extra layer of significance to our renovation journey.

Look at Chattanooga Homes in Golf Course Communities

You want to choose an area where you'll find other people who have the same interests you do. If you love golf, for example, you may want to look at Chattanooga homes in golf course communities.
what is a radon test?
A radon test is a procedure used to measure the levels of radon gas within a specific area, typically in homes or buildings. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into buildings through the ground and accumulate indoors. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can pose health risks, as it is a known carcinogen.
Do REALTORS only work in certain areas?
The answer is really agent to agent. I can only answer for myself but we cover an area about one hour across and yes that does include Tennessee and Georgia. When we are working with investors and builders they are usually looking for the best deal with the highest return and sometimes you have to go further out to find that. REALTORS are no different than any other profession. You have agents that specialize in different aspects of Real Estate. Some know waterfront better than others, some only work with horse farms and others spend most of their career working primarily in one zip code.
The ups and downs of Dirt Cheap Land
Most people that know me know that one of my work passions is to help Builders and Developers acquire dirt for new subdivisions. I enjoy watching what a piece of land can become and how if the development is done right how passionately people can feel about living there. I typically do not work with builders that strip the land of all the trees and ponds. We try to work around what we can and keep as many tres as possible.

At first the Shavin’s were just asking the famous architect for a referral on who he may recommend to design their new home but instead they got the man himself.
