Tax Treats at Fairfield Glade, TN

There were a few reasons that inspired Diane and Alex Alatorre to relocate from California to Tennessee, but the significant tax savings was one that really sealed the deal. “In the beginning, the difference in tax was not so apparent to us, but as we started to check out other places, we couldn’t believe it!” explains Alex.

“Our agent kept saying, ‘Your property taxes are going to be so much lower,’ but the difference was amazing,” smiles Diane, who describes Fairfield Glade as a ‘dream come true.’ The welcomed financial savings allow the Alatorres to soak up the five different golf courses, crystal clear lakes, and endless interesting activities that Fairfield has to offer.

“Even the gasoline is a saving in itself. It makes a difference to our retirement budget, that’s for sure,” explains Diane, “We have some pretty big vehicles, so that saving is money in our pocket.”

Having custom built their ideal home, in their ideal climate, on an ideal lot, the Alatorres are in their own personal paradise. The happiness in Diane’s voice rings out when she describes how much she loves sitting in her dining room and feeling like she’s in the middle of the woods.

“We love knowing that no one will ever build behind us, which, compared to the developments in California with their five-story homes, is just amazing,” she shares.

The building process took around 18 months, so the Alatorres only moved into their new forever home last month. Even within such a short amount of time, the couple feels like they’ve already made friends for life and are signed up to all sorts of organizations and community events, from live music concerts, to golf tournaments, and swimming in the lake.

What advice would the Alatoores pass on to anyone looking to relocate? “I always think people should drive a neighborhood at night to gain real insight,” smiles Diane, “We did that before we invested here, and it was just as peaceful and beautiful by night as it was by day!”
