Why Not List With An Agent Who Works With Buyers and Sellers?
All agents are not the same! The agent who assisted you in finding a home to purchase may not be the best one to help you sell your home. Think of it like a doctor, most people would not feel comfortable with their dermatologist performing cardiac surgery although both are M.D.s. By comparison, a Listing Specialist has experience and expertise in selling homes. We can help you sell your home for the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time, with the least possible hassles- all your favorite words in one sentence! Why settle for an agent who only works to sell your home when they are not working with buyers?
That's not to say the buyers for your home won't be taken care of. Team Sandy Blanton is just that- a team! We have buyer specialists and listing specialists working together to handle every step of the home buying and selling process. If a buyer for your home calls while Sandy or Brandon are out listing another home, you don't have to worry whether or not your home will be taken care of. We have several buyer specialists available to show your property. When you hire Team Sandy Blanton, you will experience the full benefits of a team of buyer specialists, listing specialists, marketing directors, office administration, and listing coordinators- all for the same price as a single agent!

Buying Land and New Construction >Beware of Fat Clay
When building a home, you should have the soil on the construction site tested for plasticity to determine how it will change under different moisture conditions. This is important because some soil is so "plastic" that (if the condition is not corrected) it can actually break concrete floors, crack the walls and destroy the foundation of your home.
Highly plastic soil is sometimes referred to as "fat clay" that swells excessively and loses stability when it becomes wet. Fine-grained soils that contain a high percentage of clay are greatly affected by water, turning to mud when it rains and undergoing large volume changes-sometimes up to 40 or 50 percent, as the soil dries. Not only do clays swell and lose stability when they become wet, but they also retard the drainage of water. If plastic soil is found on your building site, the ground must be over-excavated and replaced with clean gravel. Homebuilders often choose not to include a basement, or to protect the basement walls from excess moisture by surrounding them with a layer of gravel. A fine-grained clay-filled soil with a high plasticity index may require considerable treatment, especially if used in a moist location.
