Buy a Home in the Upper Cumberland and Know the Price Is Right Before You Offer
Know whether a home is priced right before you offer.
Buying a home here, the smart way
"I have no idea if this is a good deal or not." If you're buying a home in the Upper Cumberland, that thought probably crosses your mind every time you open a listing. Homes here vary a lot. Acreage, outbuildings, age, and condition can make two homes with the same bedroom count worth very different amounts.
Here's what makes working with me different: I'm a licensed Certified Residential Appraiser as well as a REALTOR®. Before you offer, I look at the home the way an appraiser will, with real recent sales and adjustments, so you know whether the price makes sense. That protects you at the negotiating table and again when the lender's appraisal comes in.

I'm Bridget Salazar, a REALTOR® with The Realty Firm. I've been in real estate for 12 years and an appraiser for 14. I help buyers across Livingston, Overton County, Cookeville, and Putnam County find the right home and pay the right price for it.
I answer every question you have, and I don't go silent. You'll always know what's happening and what comes next. The full buying process is on how I help buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a home is priced right?
I compare it to real recent sales and adjust for differences like acreage, size, and condition, the way an appraiser does. You'll see the comparison before you decide on an offer.
Do I need to be pre-approved before looking?
It helps a lot. Knowing your budget first saves you from falling for a home you can't buy, and sellers take offers more seriously with a pre-approval.
Do you only work in Livingston?
No. Livingston and Overton County are home base, and I also work across Putnam County, Wilder, and the Dale Hollow Lake area.
