August 19, 2019 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Have you ever put off doing something for a long time and then, when you finally did it, you asked yourself “why did I wait so long to do that?” Well, that’s happened to me more than I like to admit. I just finished a couple of projects that I have been putting off and […]

Is Your Garage a Pathway For Burglars?

September 24, 2014 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

I first heard about this technique of how burglars are breaking into houses at the beginning of 2009. I wrote an article for our newsletter about it at that time. Lately, though, I’ve heard about this happening again, so I thought I would put another warning out there. I’m talking about a technique burglars use for […]

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Most don't realize what's negotiable when you buy Most don't realize what's negotiable when you buy a home in⁣
Knoxville Tennessee 👀⁣
⁣
Everyone focuses on the purchase price - and yes, that⁣
matters. ⁣
⁣
But a good agent is thinking about your monthly payment,⁣
what you're bringing to closing, what happens after the inspection report comes⁣
back, and whether the timeline actually lines up with your life.⁣
⁣
I've had clients walk away from the table with mortgage⁣
lender incentives/credits, Sellers paying for buyers closing costs, repair⁣
credits, and a move-in date that worked around their lease. ⁣
⁣
If you're buying a home in Knoxville let's talk. There's⁣
usually more room on the table than meets the eye.⁣

The Financial Conversations Families Skip ⬅️ (don' The Financial Conversations Families Skip ⬅️ (don't do that!)Here's what derails most multigenerational home purchases: families fall in love with the idea, find the perfect property, and convince themselves the financial details will sort themselves out.
They don't.
Before you start the search, get clear on:
💰 Who's on the loan and what that means — Co-borrowers combine income to qualify for more, but they also share legal responsibility for the debt and the equity. That's different from a co-signer, who carries liability but doesn't own a piece of the property.
📝 How ownership is structured — Joint tenancy vs. tenancy in common affects what happens if someone wants to sell, refinance, or passes away. Equal contributions don't always mean equal ownership makes sense.
🤝 Getting it in writing — A written agreement covering expenses, maintenance, common areas, and exit plans protects everyone and makes future conversations easier.
The families who work this out before closing have far smoother experiences than those who assume it'll work itself out.
