TJ is a very professional and knowledgeable expert in the Nashville area who I have recommended to close friends of mine who have also purchased homes through him. I have worked with TJ throughout two home buying processes and both times he exceeded expectations and proved how valuable he is, and in one of the purchases he did that by carefully guiding me through the steps of negotiation with a difficult seller. TJ puts forth the effort, is a phenomenal realtor and an all around great guy!

TJ was great. Since I did a lot of this long distance, he was a real help. Above and beyond the call of duty. He not only acted as a realtor, but got contractors to do all the painting and repairs that were needed, not to mention making sure I knew what was going on and what to expect when I couldn’t be there. He’s outstanding as a realtor. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

TJ went above and beyond in my opinion and is the reason I have the house today. He treated me like family and made sure that I was getting the best deal and best communication at the same time. TJ talked me out of buying two houses that would not have been smart financially only to follow that by winning a bidding war for the house that I have today. I cannot thank him enough. In a competitive market, if you want the best chance of winning, you should go with TJ Anderson.

Loyalty

This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each of my best clients. I recognize that real estate transactions are one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, you should feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of hiring me to help you accomplish real results starting right away.

Reviewing each other’s roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps together is how we can decide if we are ready to move forward together.

Processes

1

Consultation

We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
Image

2

Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.
Image

3

Property tours

After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
Image

4

Write offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
Image

5

Under Contract or Escrow

With your offer accepted, we enter a 30-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
Image

6

Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
Image

7

Inspections

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
Image

8

Closing

Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
