Bring up the rear.

When showing a home, always have your prospect walk in front of you. Don’t lead them, but rather, direct them from a position at least 3-4 arm lengths behind them. You can gesture for them to go ahead of you and say, for example, “The main bedroom is in the back of the house.”

Stay Alert. Stay Secure. Stay Safe.

🏗️ What could $230 million in infrastructure investment mean for Limestone County?

Huntsville leaders have outlined a proposed TIF district covering roughly 9,000 acres, with projects that could include road improvements, sewer expansion, a new K-8 school and infrastructure supporting continued economic development in the Greenbrier and Limestone County corridor.

Among the proposed investments:

🚗 Swancott Road widening
🛣️ County Line Road relocation
🚦 I-565/Greenbrier interchange improvements
💧 Sewer expansion
🏫 A new K-8 school
🏭 Support for future economic development

A TIF, or Tax Increment Financing district, uses future growth in property tax revenue generated within the district to help fund eligible improvements. City officials have said the proposal would not increase the property tax rate.

For REALTORS®, these conversations matter. Roads, utilities, schools and employment centers can all influence how and where communities grow.

The Huntsville City Council is scheduled to consider TIF District 8 on October 8.

HAARLEY has a quick reminder for our REALTORS®: your clients are seeing the national housing headlines, but those headlines don’t always tell the story of our local market.

While existing-home sales have slowed nationally, Huntsville-area new listings are up, inventory has increased, and pending sales remain positive.

That’s why local market knowledge matters.

Use the data to add context, guide the conversation, and help your clients make informed decisions.

HAARLEY says it best: real estate is local. 🐾

Open house: it ain’t over till it’s over.

Don’t assume that everyone has left the premises at the end of an open house. Have a colleague or buddy help you check all of the rooms and the backyard prior to locking the doors.

Stay Alert. Stay Secure. Stay Safe.
