GAP:

  • Metro-level only for U-Haul.

No invented mover age / family composition. Prefer county PEP over metro-only claims.

Housing diligence (process)

HOA/PUD docs when applicable · septic vs sewer / wells on rural parcels · flood/karst per address · TN disclosure ≠ inspection · title-company closings common in Mid TN.

Buyers

Narrow by commute corridor and housing type. Verify county line on multi-county towns. Inspect systems before waiving diligence.

Sellers

Honest pricing from live comps; clear disclosure; document septic/well/flood when relevant.

Relocators

Match the week (job site + school logistics) before the listing photo. Soft next step when Research pack completes.
