Recently, the national Association of Realtors accomplished a survey among those buying a home and those selling nationally.
Nearly three out of ten cited honesty and trustworthiness as the most important factor in choosing an agent! More than two out of ten said the reputation of an agent was an important factor. Together, these two factors of honesty/truthfulness and reputation were considered most important for half of home buyers and sellers.
Here’s this week’s newsletter for Chattanooga!
The September 2008 issue of National Geographic’s Adventure magazine includes Chattanooga among the “50 Next Great Towns” for living and playing. “A change of address can bring instant gratification,” the feature article begins. “You could wake up tomorrow in Missoula and kayak off your own deck at down, sneak in singletrack at lunch in Chattanooga or choose your own adventure in any one of the country’s best base camps. But a move is a long-term investment. So this year we selected 50 innovative towns that aren’t just prime relocation spots right now but smart choices for the future.” The salute to Chattanooga is from Cathi Cannon, an athlete and graphic designer, who likes the easy access to off-road racing, camaraderie with other sports enthusiasts and a thriving community. The article includes a photograph of two outdoors buffs carrying their kayaks down the bank of the Tennessee River.
Late last year, we learned that the U.S. Census Bureau had declared Chattanooga to have the fastest growing population of any metro in Tennessee. Mayor Littlefield deserves our appreciation for raising the issue and submitting the substantial body of data that helped the Census Bureau correct its figures. Previously published statistics claimed that Chattanooga was actually losing population.
The first Chattanooga Association of Realtors (CAR) meeting of 2008 was held Wed., Jan. 30, at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. The prestigious Realtor Emeritus award, marking 40 years in the industry, was given to three CAR members – Charlie Walldorf, George McGee and Mary Anne Rennick. Each of these Realtors are with Herman Walldorf and Company.
Over the last several years, the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport has added three new airlines and seven new nonstop destinations. Local travelers now have access to nonstop service to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Memphis, Washington D.C., Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Orlando, Tampa/St. Pete, Ft. Lauderdale and Columbus, OH.
