WELCOME TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE

Find your home sweet home When people look for a place to put down roots, there are a number of things they consider: the economic outlook, diversity of communities, educational and cultural opportunities, and jobs. And it doesn’t hurt to throw in a good dose of Southern hospitality. In Middle Tennessee, prospective home buyers can find all that – and so much more. WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE? Music City is the pulse and heartbeat of Middle Tennessee. Lauded as a desirable place to live and visit, Nashville is the crowning jewel of our region. Surrounded by counties that offer diverse housing options and other opportunities, Middle Tennessee strikes a chord with people from all walks of life. From top-notch art exhibits at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts to the musical nightlife on Lower Broadway, the entertainment and cultural opportunities here are endless. Add to that fine dining, a first-rate symphony, various stage productions and recreational diversions and you have a haven for tourists and residents alike. ACCOLADES The Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau cites Music City as “a favorite place for conventioneers and tourists alike, as well as a great place to work, live and raise a family.” Plenty of others seem to agree. Travel + Leisure put Nashville at the top of its list of “America’s Friendliest Cities.” MoneyRates.com recently ranked Tennessee eighth on its list of “10 Best States for Making a Living.” According to MSN Real Estate, Nashville is among the “Top 10 Places to Retire,” and MSN Travel ranks Nashville 13th on its list of “Coolest North American Cities.” JOBS & MORE Business growth and job opportunities are vital to a healthy economy, and Nashville’s economic outlook is bright. Known as a recording capital and hotbed of music publishing, Music City has several key employers in other industries. These include Vanderbilt, HCA, Nissan and Gaylord. With an eye toward the future, city leaders have taken the steps to build a new convention center, which is set to open in 2013. HOUSING Whether you prefer the comfort and convenience of a traditional neighborhood development or the luxury of a downtown condo, Nashville and Middle Tennessee have housing options to suit every lifestyle and budget. From the excitement and fast pace

New floor plans, amenities draw buyers to Tollgate Village Dock Street Communities, the new developer of Tollgate Village, is investing in a slate of improvements and amenities at this Williamson County community — to the tune of more than $1 million. Since taking on development of the neighborhood earlier this year, Dock Street Communities of South Carolina has introduced new floor plans at new price points, made road upgrades, landscaping improvements and added a host of amenities to complement this already flourishing community. Located in Thompson’s Station just off of Highway 840 (next to Independence High School), Tollgate Village is an established community with a number of homes and amenities already in place, but Dock Street’s investment in this community is expected to attract new residents and draw retailers to the neighborhood marketplace. Dock Street’s homes here start at $179,900, and range in size from 1,100 to 3,100 square feet. These charming but practical homes are available in one-story and two-story plans. Standard interior features include 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, hardwood floors on the first level,

42-inch maple kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and double-hung low-E windows. The forward-thinking vision of Dock Street Communities is to create neighborhoods where people can thrive. It’s a concept that was part of this community’s design from the very beginning. Tollgate Village is based on a planning model known as Traditional Neighborhood Design, a concept that aims to promote a sense of community by creating a place where residents can recreate, shop and enjoy activities together. To complement existing amenities in the community — which include a dramatic resort-style pool with 10 fountains, clubhouse with fitness center, tennis courts, basketball court and playground — Dock Street Communities has enhanced Tollgate Village with the following features: • An 8-foot-wide asphalt walking trail • An amphitheater • A sports complex with volleyball, tetherball, bocce

In addition to the great community amenities that will allow residents to gather together and engage in activities, another bonus here is the 65-acre Tollgate Village Marketplace. The complex currently houses the Tollgate Medical Pavilion, and there are plans to add retail and office building properties. Other potential additions include grocery and retail stores, cafes, restaurants, craft shops and more — all within walking distance from home. Tollgate Village also boasts a network of walking and biking trails, offering residents a relaxed and beautiful place to exercise. Other outdoor features allow residents to enjoy a variety of activities without ever leaving the neighborhood. Jackson Lake sits as the 2-acre centerpiece of the Tollgate Village park system and includes three signature fountains. It’s a great place to view migratory birds and other wildlife or to simply relax on a park bench overlooking the fountains and lake. The community has a variety of beautifully designed pocket parks and a landscaped playground. The Residents Club includes a

state-of-the-art fitness center and an outdoor living room with a fireplace where kids can roast marshmallows and adults can enjoy an evening in the great outdoors. With the added amenities that were just completed, families can now engage in a game of sand volleyball or gather on the lawn at the village amphitheater to enjoy movies, concerts and other entertainment. With a wealth of attractive amenities already in place — and more than $1 million in recent improvements — Tollgate Village is poised to become the most attractive neighborhood in this area. But to fully appreciate this community of friendly neighbors and first-class resortstyle amenities, you should visit Tollgate Village for an up-close and personal look.

The rule of thumb is to spend no more than 30 percent of your gross monthly income on housing expenses.

ADBUILDER

Manage your mortgage to build financial security For the financially savvy home shopper, the current housing market offers great potential, not peril. But it does help if shoppers understand how the mortgage process works before they go house hunting. According to an HSBC-North America consumer survey, one out of three people don’t even know if they currently have a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage. Moreover, three out of 10 consumers surveyed have no idea of what types of fees are associated with their mortgages. Loretta Abrams, senior vice president of HSBC Consumer Affairs, says improving mortgage know-how will help consumers protect their investment. Before you obtain a mortgage, make sure you understand the following: • What type of mortgage are you considering? Is it fixed-rate or adjustable-rate? What are the advantages and disadvantages to your personal situation? • What’s the interest rate and how much are the fees

associated with the loans? Costs such as points and processing fees can add 2 percent to 10 percent to the loan. You don’t want to be surprised by an extra $2,000 or $10,000 in fees when you close your loan. • As a general rule, you should spend no more than 30 percent of your gross monthly income on housing expenses. Besides the mortgage, remember to include taxes, insurance and other related expenses. • If you decide on an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), make sure you know when the payment can change, by how much and what the maximum payment can be. • Do you have money to cover costs if your roof suddenly leaks or your furnace goes out? Set aside an emergency fund (3 percent of your home value) for maintenance and other unexpected costs. The more you know about mortgages, the better able you’ll be to protect and even improve your investment.

Of course, you don’t want to sink a load of cash into a place where you aren’t going to stay, but by focusing on a few influential fixes, you can drastically improve the home’s overall appearance — and your chances of a quicker sale. FRESHEN UP Potential buyers often look for obvious signs of neglect, such as a leaky roof, water damage or a crumbling foundation. But even without these problems, making your home look like new again can be as simple as applying a fresh coat of paint to the walls. Cooking, smoking and everyday living can discolor and fade your ceilings and walls, making your home seem old and unattractive. It’s amazing what a fresh coat of color can do to improve a home’s appearance. And with self-priming Accolade paints from Pratt & Lambert, you can renew any room even faster. If you want potential buyers to see your home as updated yet comfortable, try a single coat of Accolade in a warm neutral shade like Soft Charmeuse or Havana Cream. Both are from Pratt & Lambert’s 2011 Color Trends palette will give your home an open but inviting feel. And don’t forget to touch up your white baseboards, trim and ceilings to make each room look its best. STAY GROUNDED As much time as they spend looking up, potential buyers also spend time looking down. Flooring has a drastic effect on a home’s selling power, and an outdated or poorly maintained floor can ruin a room’s appeal. Old, dingy carpets can overshadow any other improvements you make and give the home an unkempt feel. If your home has hardwood floors,

remove old carpeting and refinish the wood beneath it. This is a great selling feature you should invest in highlighting. If you do not have hardwood floors, update your old carpeting with a neutral shade. Replace any cracked or chipped ceramic tiles in kitchens and bathrooms, and thoroughly clean or replace the grout on all tiled surfaces as well. SHOWER POWER You may have heard that bathroom updates have some of the biggest returns when it comes time to sell a home, and it’s true. According to CBS MoneyWatch.com, homeowners can expect to recover about 75 percent of minor bathroom remodel costs. So invest in a faucet, showerhead, cabinetry and a new light fixture to add to your “new” bathroom’s appeal. Have a half-bath? Consider adding a shower to make it a full; this will make your home much more marketable. CURB APPEAL First impressions can have a huge impact on a buyer’s decision, so make sure your home is as attractive from the street as possible. If your cement sidewalk or patio areas have cracks, patch them with a kit from your local hardware store. Resurface an asphalt driveway, and make sure your garage doors and exterior are freshly painted. Remember, your front door is the first thing a buyer will see. Consider repainting it a bold color that invites them in, and don’t overlook replacing your doorknob if it is in poor shape. Adding bright flowers to your front entry or garden will make any visitors feel welcome. With a few updates around your home, you can greatly increase its perceived value and appeal to buyers. Put some time and resources into these key areas and you’ll soon reap the benefits of your investment.
