Relocating to the Upper Cumberland? Learn the Towns and Buy Right
Learn the towns and buy at the right price, even from a distance.
Moving here from somewhere else
If you're relocating to the Upper Cumberland for a job, family, or a slower pace, you're probably trying to figure out towns you've never lived in. Cookeville has Tennessee Tech University and lots of shopping and restaurants. Livingston is about 25 minutes away, and many homes there sit on large lots or acreage.
How I help you relocate
I've been a REALTOR® here for 12 years, and I can tell you what the towns are like, not just what's listed. 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.
What we'll figure out together
- Which towns fit your commute and lifestyle.
- What your budget buys in each one.
- Timing your move around a job start or a home sale somewhere else.
- Whether a home is priced right before you offer.
Towns worth knowing
Start with Cookeville, Livingston, Algood, Baxter, or Dale Hollow Lake. Then call me and tell me what you're looking for.
