Gatlinburg Real Estate Blog

One of the tasks that banks almost always require of real estate agents who manage their properties is to have the utilities on in our name.  With nearly 100 properties that we are currently responsible for, we have a lot of reasons to deal with many types of utility companies including electric, water, and natural gas providers.  In general , these folks are very accommodating and go out of their way to work with us.  In particular the Sevier County Electric System, the Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg water systems, and the Sevier County Utility District have all been extremely helpful and I've gotten to know many of their very helpful employees quite well. Unfortunately, today has not been a great day for me.  After spending all of last night at the hospital emergency room with a very painful kidney stone attack, I was back at work this morning.  One of the tasks that I had on my "to do" list today was to confirm that water and electri...

In my February 9 th post to this Gatlinburg Real Estate Blog I wrote about two new listings that were coming out, and referred to them as the Beauty and The Beast. Well, we have the same situation again now. The Beauty is an all brick residence in the Kodak community, overlooking the French Broad River and just a golf cart ride away from the River Islands Golf Course, the #2 public golf course in the entire state of Tennessee. We don't have a price on this property yet but you can view our preliminary photos here. With a warning to the squeamish or anyone who has recently eaten those photos are available via the link in my next sentence. You have been warned. The Beast is an incredibly unpleasant little shack of a home that I'm amazed folks would actually live in. The bank will clean it out and fix it up as much as possible and we will again have a property that can be sold. Obviously the Beast will have to be priced aggressively as will the Beauty.
