S Raj that’s great S Raj! And you’re welcome! You’re going to love it here. So far every family I’ve helped move here falls in love with the place. When are you headed our way?
I have to tell you San Diego is one of my favorite cities! But you’ll love it here. I’d you’d like some insights on the area sometime just let me know. I’m really excited for you Berticron 117
If you were to visit Nashville, what would be the first thing you'd do? Go downtown? Listen to bands? See the Ryman? There's so much to do here, I'd love to know what you'd do! Please share ok?
Thank you for the video! Do you have any information on the Suburban Area's close to Nashville, as it pertains to environment, amenities, and diversity? Also, to include, but not limited to, area's well suited for families, 40 and 50 something's, and communities for those in the music industry preferring privacy/gated communities?
Hey Toniraye! I'll answer your question backwards....Here are links to gated communities: ua-cam.com/video/GS7ZPkoPGWE/v-deo.html. ua-cam.com/video/aLEOjzraGqc/v-deo.html. ua-cam.com/video/0S3qndyRs6A/v-deo.html. The executive type in the music business often land in Green Hills just south of Music Row. Artists tend to end up in Leipers Fork ua-cam.com/video/S-lM4n-lJtc/v-deo.html and Franklin ua-cam.com/video/hCN3RRnxW8w/v-deo.html. Nashville overall is as diverse and welcoming. It's a bit artsy and fun but also a well run city. Nashville and surrounding areas are intensely family friendly. The Nashville, Brenwood and Franklin area are renowned for the extensive green space left for all of us to enjoy. I hope this answers most of your questions. Let me know if I missed anything. Thanks for your comments! - Andy
I'm just wondering what your opinion is on wholesalers in the Nashville area. Have you ever worked with one or set up a transaction them as well? If not, would you ever consider it?
@@AndyElliottrealtor I haven't flipped any yet. I've been learning about this method for a couple of months now and I want to at least get 1 deal and go from there. My first order of business is to size this up in my area (Nashville of course). I want to get an idea what realtors in the area think about wholesalers. I'm not someone who likes to rush in without having my ducks in a row. I'd also like to begin some dialog with realtors in the area as well and see if I can learn a thing or two. Who knows, maybe I can teach someone a thing or two as well lol. Thanks for responding so quickly.
@@josepharmstrong402 You are quite welcome. I can't help buy wonder if the market being so hot is a plus or a minus for you guys. Some realtors see the practice as predatory. Some see it as business as usual.
@@AndyElliottrealtor I hope I'd be able to tell you my opinion on the market soon when I begin making deals. I do know that every problem in this world does have a solution. No matter what market conditions exist, problem solvers tend to always come out on top. One of my objectives in business as well as in life, is to become a good problem solver. I think it's terrible that there are people who will prey on others' weaknesses. It never really helps in the long run and it has literally harmed every industry since the beginning of industry. I've worked in sales most of my life, and I'll only sell something if I know for sure that it will benefit both my customer as well as myself. I prefer to be up-front, even if it means walking away from a deal. But anyway, are you on FB? I'd like to connect if you are.
Hubs and I are relocating to Leiper's Fork in a couple months. He is a native of SoCal. I grew up in Williamson County and left Franklin in 1989 for the green pastures of WeHo. I was legislated out of state by politicians that apparently think people that own more than one salon are 1%ers and must be regulated until they can't make a decent profit. I have 29 other lady stylists working for me in 4 salons in SoCal, and if they are willing to follow through on their convictions, 9 have already decided to come to Metro Nashville. They've heard me talk about having four seasons and how you can have a 2,500 SF home on a 2 acre lot for about the same price that a 1,200 SF house on a 1/4 acre lot costs in WeHo, and I wouldn't be surprised if I can open a salon in Williamson County employing just SoCal stylists that have worked for me already.
Hello andy, enjoyed the video, I’m a young guy working in Electrician/Air conditioning and was wondering where is a good suburb to be close to the mountains/trails, nice craft beer scene, but not be too close to the noise of broadway ? Cheers
Hey Manny B thanks for your comments! Great question. I’m nashville there are t any mountains (I’m from Colorado so the bar is high) we do have hills tho. The Bellevue area (37221) is close to Edwin Warner and Percy Warner parks that have TONS of trails! You can find craft beer there. But the craft beer scene so to speak is east nashville and downtown. Are you headed our way? Again thanks -Andy
Andy Elliott-Realtor wow thank you for the quick response. And right now I’m finishing my degree here in Florida, so far my credit is good and I have no student loans. Should be moving there in the next year or two. Very eager to get out of Florida haha but thank you for the reply I’ll keep that area in mind. Cheers
You’re very welcome. I have several folks moving from Florida. I can’t wait to meet you. If you like to see homes in the nashville area you can visit www.findnashvillehomelistings.com. Thanks and have a great weekend
Thanks for the info. CA resident here considering moving to TN in a few years..definitely leaving CA. Husband and I even considering buying property and building later since, as you stated, many people are moving to the area. Side question-what's the tornado situation out there??? Definitely don't have those in CA! lol Scares me a bit. Thanks!
Hey Melissa! We'd love to have you here. I move a lot of Cali folks into Nashville. As for tornados the last real tornado was in 2006 in Gallatin TN which is north and east of here. We do get several sirens during the summer but haven't had anything serious for a while. It's Oklahoma that seems to get the worst of it. I get this question a LOT. I'm not sure why. Thanks so much for your comment. Let me know if you have any other topics you'd like to know about. What part of Cali are you coming from?
@@AndyElliottrealtor Thanks for the quick response! We are in SoCal and ready to go. Our beautiful state is not what it once was unfortunately. We have made the decision to move in a few years when the kids are out of HS and the hubs retires. We know nothing of TN other than how beautiful it is and how tax friendly it is. Hoping to make a trip this summer to check it out :) I'll check out your website and stay in touch. Do you service just the Nashville area?
@@mhfitgirl78 I work what is called the middle tennessee area, TN is super wide and really short and we split it up in thirds width-wise. I'll bet you guys would love Williamson county. www.williamsoncounty-tn.gov check out Brentwood, Franklin and Nolensville for starters. www.brentwoodtn.gov visitfranklin.com www.nolensvilletn.gov I moved here from Colorado Springs back in '04 without a clue about the place, so I've found a niche in helping out of town folk find their way around. Call anytime-maybe with both you and your husband at the same time. I can show you a lot just online. 615-972-2299 Thanks! -Andy
im from van nuys california and use to love naashville but not so much now traffic is getting as bad as california rent skyrocketed in the last few years people are still nice as can be but deff not the nashville i feel in love with
Nebraska Nock Goodlettsville is awesome. Close to the highway so it’s easy to get into town. Prices aren’t crazy up there either. When are you coming our way?
Let me know when you're headed here. In the meantime you can see what's for sale in Goodlettsville on my site. www.FindNashvilleHomeListings.com . Thanks for your comments and questions! Call anytime. Thanks -Andy
We're from Colorado springs and trying to decide if we're going to move to Nashville. What are some of the reasons that you left Colorado springs and some of the things that you like about Nashville?
Hi Lornei! That's a great question. Mostly, the reason is it was just time for a change. I raised a family there (lived in Manitou springs and Black Forest) and was there for 30 years. I am a musician (not trying to break into music) and really like the environment musically here. And to be candid, Black Forest had more than its fair share of spring time snow so a move to the south seemed a welcome change. What I've discovered is Nashville is close to the east coast and gulf coast (my favorite). So vacationing is really an easy deal. The people really are friendly here. Southern hospitality is truly a "thing"! I do miss the Colorado summers and low humidity but have grown accustomed to the heat. If you folks have more questions feel free to call me: 615-972-2299 Thanks! -Andy
Andy Elliott-Realtor thank you for the reply! We actually just sold our house in Black Forest and we tried to find something there but it’s just such a crazy market right now! We’re a young family (2 kids - age 3 years and 8 months) and we like that Nashville seems really family friendly while still being fun! My husband is flying there this week to look at some houses :)
I'm a New Yorker looking for a retirement spot! My time working with the Government is just about up. However, I've been playing music for 20 years. Add to that the fact that I love food and Nashville has become very attractive. At the same time, I do understand that I would need a car (yes, I've been so used to public transportation! LOL!), and that the cost of living is increasing. 1BRs in the Bronx have hit $2,000/month, so I think I can handle Nashville housing costs! (LOL!). The big issues for me would be; 1) a whole cultural change from New York, (I've been told Nashville is very diverse, though!) and 2) my 10 y/o son has serious allergy and asthma problems! But it's a city worth looking into!
Hey Scatman! It just so happens I’m working with a New York City couple right now! They are settling in nicely but there is a difference for sure. The allergy situation might need some research. I don’t suffer from that but it seems to be a “thing” here. As a musician of course you’ll just LOVE the community! I play as well.
Nashville Real Estate ...I like the West End area, Downtown, and The Gulch as long as it’s reasonable. Like a Studio with separated bedroom or one bedroom.
Just so you're not shocked, West End, Downtown and The Gulch are expensive. There are (unsure with covid) a ton of students in West End so prices go up. If you get away from town a little tho, prices aren't too bad!
Andy I might be relocating to Nashville soon -- I'll be working at the Nashville airport. What areas should I focus on with a budget of 200-350k? How is the commute on the 40 (not rush hour)
Hey Peter thanks for taking the time to comment! You'll find 37214 and 37210 and 37076 to be a good fit location and price wise. That's Hermitage and Donelson area. They are both literally "across the street". There is lots of shopping easy access to downtown and just a nice place to be. When are you headed our way? Thanks -Andy
I’d be more than happy to chat with you. Let’s see if I can come up with a solution for you. My direct line is on my channel banner. Please give me a call.
I notice how all the UA-cam realtors NEVER talk about crime and poverty area's. ya it's great talking about the key points, but how about disusing those and how alot of folks from the area really don't want so many people moving there and turning something beautiful in to an over priced S**thole! (Los Angles USED to be a nice area 100 years ago)
Darrin, thanks for your comments! Your question is a valid one. However, any realtor that pointed out any area, neighborhood or subdivision for those reasons would be on the hook for violating the "fair housing act". Tho crime rate is not a protected class, there would be claims of discrimination made loud and clear. The process known as "steering" is where an agent essentially says, " I know what you're looking for and that area isn't where you want to be." That's totally illegal. By law we don't have an opinion on those things. That's up to the buyer to decide. We CAN however suggest visiting government crime websites to get statistics. That can help a buyer decide if they are comfortable in any given area. I don't know much about LA but I love California. A final thought: Here in Nashville, the older rundown areas that did have high crime rates are being renewed at an amazing pace! Here's my point...areas that started out beautiful, got worn down and ragged, are now coming back to new vibrant wonderful places. I guess it's a cycle of life kind of thing. Thanks for reading this. -Andy
