 Hello everyone and welcome once again to another edition of the Red Brun and Williams real estate show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day. And Jennifer, it seems like the farther, I mean we're now into February, people are starting to look ahead to spring and those are things you guys can predict what's going to happen. A little bit because the spring always is going to bring more listings, a more active market. You know during the winter with some of this weather and the snow and the ice, it makes it a little bit harder. No one wants to list their house when you can't get a good picture and it's kind of ugly out. Nobody can do drive-bys. So spring tends to be a more active time and we're starting to see people preparing for that already. We've got a show full of new listings of people hoping that more, you know the market gets active in the spring and then my real estate minute is all about how to prepare if you're ready to list for the spring. And there are certain things that you can do to kind of get yourself an advantage. Because you know somebody's going to come and look at your house and then you as a realtor you know what people are looking for because a lot of times you represent the buyer or the seller or both. So a lot of people can lean on you to say hey what can I do to make my property more attractive to a buyer. Exactly and it's making it more attractive on curb appeal, making it so they can see themselves in the house but it's also making it to make sure that the house is going to go with certain types of financing or if there's any issues that may come up and cause a problem once you're actually in a deal. So a realtor can help with all of that. And you guys will do that and you'll talk more about that in your real estate minute. I will. Alright as she said we've got five brand new listings so none of these are anything that's ever been on the show before and all of these ironically are in the city limits of Pikeville. So let's go ahead and get started with the first one right off town mountain road. Yes this one is on Williams Hollow and if you're familiar with town mountain road you go about a mile or so up town mountain and Williams Hollow will come up on your right. When you turn off on Williams Hollow it goes straight for a little bit and then the hollow actually turns up right. So you actually can't even tell there are houses up in here until you're back that way. But this house it's a great mixture we talk a lot about the country living in the city and that kind of thing and that is what this house is going to bring to the table. And I love the picture that you've got of the yard because as you said it's got a very large fenced in yard and you're still standing on the inside of the fence when you took this photo. Exactly. That was the reason that I walked all the way to the opposite end of the yard for this picture is because I wanted to show how big the yard space was. So you have plenty of room for pets, kids if you wanted to do any kind of pool, anything like that you do have the space for it. And on the inside I mean you've got room for your family too, you've got three bedrooms, 1.75 bathrooms, a little over 1600 square feet so that is you know plenty of space. And on the pictures on the inside you can see you've got that spacious living room, the kitchen is nice, you've got the little the bar area so a lot of attractive things in this house. There is and the great thing that you really can't tell from the pictures that living room picture the kitchen is open to the living room and so is the dining area. So all that space is really big and open. So if you like an open floor plan this is one that would really get your attention. Now the price on this one is $149,000 so that's not bad considering you're getting this in the city limits of Pikeville on one acre of property. The MLS number 109877. Now Jennifer this is your listing so let's give the Pikeville office number. Okay that number 606-437-2333. Now moving along on the next one it's just down the road really on the on Bypass Road you go up Harold's Branch behind the hospital and you've got this listing. Yes this is one on Carter Drive. Like you said you're going up Harold's Branch right behind the hospital you're going to go about two miles. Harold's Branch takes a sharp turn to the left and Carter Drive is actually the road that's going to be straight in front of you almost that you would almost want to stay on anyway if you were driving on Harold's Branch. And this one on the on the outside picture I mean you can tell right off the bat you've got a huge driveway for parking extra vehicles or you know if you had a boat or anything like that you've got room to park that there. You have plenty of space for that and you actually the carport the picture is a little dark on the inside but it's actually a full three car carport and this is a ranch home so you know right off the bat coming into it you're not going to have to worry about steps and for a lot of people especially if you're an empty nester you're downsizing you're getting a little bit older you've got any kind of issues with mobility ranch homes are attractive for those kind of people. Absolutely and this is this is a house that you're going to drive by it and you're going to think I'm a little bit crazy for saying that you've got over 3,000 square feet. You're over 3,300 square feet. Yes this is one you can't tell how big it is from the road so I always tell people to do drive-bys but on this one keep in mind this house is huge on the inside. It's one that you really need to walk in and my favorite thing on the inside of the house you have a formal living room. They did a very large addition on the back that is a really nice rec room it's got plumbing room for a bar it's got a private office back there and that's the part that you really can't see from the road you don't even know that part's back there but it is a really really nice space that makes it a very functional house. And then I want before we close out this one I move to the next one who do want to mention this one does come with a guest house. So and I asked you before we started filming if this is one that somebody could possibly rent out and do income and you said absolutely. Absolutely and when you drive by it you're going to see the guest house just off to the right it has a small living room bathroom with utility kitchen area and then a bedroom with the closet so it's a perfect setup for kind of a studio type apartment great way to have some extra income. Well and help pay your mortgage payment I mean anytime you can buy a new house and say I'm going to buy this house but this over here that comes with it is going to make part of my mortgage payment. That is attractive. Now let's give your email address because this is your listing. Okay email is jbrown at rbnw.com. Okay now the next listing is the same seller and it's on the same road but like you said there's some property in between so they're not adjacent but the same seller does have another listing for sale now this one is strictly investment property. It is and you can do it multiple ways if you wanted to live in one of these and pay your mortgage with the other two absolutely a possibility and right now it's strictly investment property this is when it's actually got three units on the property right there on Carter Drive so you're still in the city limits right behind the hospital and you've got a double wide that is a three bedroom two bath a single wide that sits up on the hill if you do a drive by the single wide can be tough to see so I recommend you go past the double wide turn around and come back and it's an easier to view the single wide and then there is a small one bedroom apartment that also has a separate driveway right and I'm going to go ahead and throw the price on this one 135,000 so that is the one of those that's going to make you take a double take because you're not ever going to be able to purchase half an acre of property with three places to live on it for under $140,000 and know that you can probably very easily make that mortgage payment back and the great thing you've got city utilities on this property so you're not worrying about septics or anything like that and then each unit has private parking which is also very important for having tenants and that kind of stuff even if you may not be in the market to look for investment property with the price on this one and if you've got a little bit of extra time on your hands this would be attractive but then again redburner williams offers those services as well so someone could purchase this and hand it over to you to manage absolutely and again brand new listing so this one has not been on the market very long no brand new on the market and again if you want to give the Parkville office a call we'll be more than happy to give you some more information we've got income information and that kind of stuff that we can share on this one as well okay that number 606-437-2333 all right now moving let's go a little bit higher in elevation for the next two the last two listings and this one's on Chloe Ridge which is a very popular subdivision in town it is these next two are both in gated community so if you're looking for something that is a little bit more executive home style these next two are going to have that the first one's at Chloe Ridge like you said and when you get up to the stop sign at the top of Chloe Ridge you're going to take a left okay the house will come up on your right and the great thing about this one is they really took advantage in the living room the living room is a two-story living room and it's got windows kind of floor to ceiling that really allow you to sit in the living room and look out plus it allows in a lot of light so you just have a naturally really bright and airy living area and a layout to the first floor so this one is is including your below grade and your above grade which is your basement and then your living area you're looking at 4 000 square feet so this is a huge home four bedrooms two and a half bathrooms and they've just finished the basement there's a lot of possibilities down there for workout space and that kind of stuff anything you could want to do wow now the price on this one that includes a two-car garage is five hundred thirty nine thousand like she said in a gated community the executive style home with all the square footage and built in 2006 so it's a relatively new home if this is something you're in the market for definitely give jennifer a call let's give your email address one more time okay the email is jbrown at rbnw.com all right now the last home that we're going to talk about again another gated community another elevated home with great views now this is in the northmont neighborhood correct and if you're familiar with northmont you're right across from bowls that area right you're going to drive up on the hill and this is going to be when you get to that main intersection of northmont you're going to take an immediate left on northmont point and this is the first house on the left okay so you've got convenience you're in the city limits of pikeville again a gated community so any of kind of safety concerns this kind of takes care of a little bit of that and this one again another executive style home over four thousand square feet forty two hundred square feet to be exact and it actually surprised me not that the house looks small but i just was shocked at how especially the second floor they really used every single bit of space so this is one that most of the bedrooms have private bathrooms oh wow and you have of course a master suite with a private bathroom and that kind of stuff a large rec room that again perfect for game room or anything like that and then the thing that actually sold the current seller on this house is the size of the kitchen the kitchen actually has multiple islands and cabinets that are just extra you really have to see the kitchen right anybody who likes to cook or or has those big family gatherings or anything like that is going to absolutely fall in love with the kitchen because you said you know like you said it sold the last buyer when they bought it they're selling it now and they're saying hey we really got to show this kitchen exactly the kitchen is a showstopper and then of course you do have an in-ground pool with this one which is a very private in-ground pool because you do kind of go towards the hill and it's a really really serene area that is hard to believe exists in downtown pockfield and this is another one of those where you're going to be able to see the front of the home through a drive by but the way it sounds that you're not going to be able to see everything so a drive by is always good for that first look just to see if you're interested but you can't make a decision unless you actually are shown the property exactly this is one i would definitely recommend going in okay the price on this one six twenty four nine six hundred twenty four thousand nine hundred but like we said in the area in the community with everything you're getting all the square footage the pool definitely worth the money if this is the market you're into actually you've got two homes that jennifer could show you in one showing and i'm sure you do that a lot you'll say hey i've got two or three that may fit what you're looking for and that's actually our preference if you give us an idea of what it is you're looking for you know if we can go see three four five houses in one day one it gives us a better idea of what you need and two it's probably going to give you a much better idea of what you need so it's a great plan to do it that way well we have shown you all kinds of property and all kinds of ranges of price today and all these are in the city limits of pikeville but you guys are in several counties so always remember go to that website rbnw.com you can see everything they've got and get phone numbers to get held of any realtor that you want as we said at the beginning of the show we're getting into that time when people are going to start listing their homes and jennifer is going to have some tips for you right now in her real estate minute as we get closer to spring we also get into a popular time of the year to list property if you are considering listing your property this spring here are a couple recommendations to get your property ready prepare the outside during the winter our yards won't be green and picturesque but that doesn't mean you can't clean up the outside clean out gutters clear dead flowers and plants and declutter outside storage on the interior declutter fresh and paint as needed and do a deep clean that you can easily maintain throughout the year on both interior and exterior repair anything that is known not to be functioning like a leaky faucet or a gutter as you prepare to list your home contact your local rebrand Williams office to have an agent
