Back to Life, Back to Reality

Wilson County schools are BACK in session starting tomorrow morning, Wednesday, October 16th. Are you team week and half fall break or do you think it’s crazy to have so many days off? We are personally big fans of the longer break ;)

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

If you’re looking for a scare this Halloween season, did you know there’s a local haunt set up right here in MJ? Seven more dates are still available to get your scare on at Circle P Ranch. Click here for more info!

Halloween Drive By?

Most all of us are familiar with the tradition of driving around and looking at Christmas lights…but can there be one for Halloween decorations? We found some cool houses worthy of a drive by in the Normandy Heights neighborhood. So crank those spooky tunes and give a big thanks to Griff Akins for the info! Feel free to message us if you know of other MUST SEE, local Halloween decor - [email protected]

🐝MJ Weekly Poll

🐝MJ Real Estate Update

Recently, someone asked me, "Why do you enjoy working so much with out-of-state buyers?" I have two main reasons. First, I moved to the wonderful community of Mt. Juliet almost 12 years ago, which gives me a genuine and honest perspective on what it's like to relocate here. Having been a transplant myself, I can relate to the experiences of buyers coming from other places. Second, I love creating video content, and I’ve found that the buyers I work with appreciate the unique and convenient videos I provide during their home search. It’s a bit too much to discuss in detail here, but if you or anyone you know is considering moving to Mt. Juliet or the Middle TN area, please keep me in mind. I would love the opportunity to show you how I can help with your home search and earn your business. And if you’re interested in viewing some of my content, you can follow me @nashville_realtor615 on Instagram.
