Adventures in Landlording - Ironing the carpet

Adventures in Landlording!
A Realtor's Perspective.


I have started bringing my camera to showings. These pics are from a home I showed recently. It is a foreclosed investment property where, I suppose, some cost-conscious landlord repaired an area of carpet where their renter had left their iron just a little too long. I'd give it a grade-A for resourcefulness and a D- for follow through - this was just laying there - not connected to the floor in any way!

New listing!

2336 Sylvania Ave, Knoxville, 37920

Fantastic home on a cul-de-sac street in South Knoxville. It's a few blocks from Chapman Highway, about 5 minutes to downtown, near Ijams Nature Center and lots of other amenities in the area. the home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths in - half bath is in the master.

It's a well cared-for home in South Knoxville neighborhood. Tons of space up and down. Workshop/ finished area in the basement. Ready to move in. New roof, hardwood floors, spacious bedrooms, half-bath in the master, open kitchen plan - fantastic home on a cul-de-sac street.

Spring, I can tell it's here.

It's been a great real estate time. Lots of folks asking about different places. My fiancee has decided to sell her condo, I wonder if she'll call a Realtor.

It was a beautiful day in Knoxville. Between calls I put on my landlord hat and worked on my house on Moody in SoKno. New closet in place, I pulled English ivy off the brick walls. I'm kinda scarred from that - almost as tenacious as the lovely kudzu that's eaten the south.
