Choosing a real estate agent in Chattanooga is a lot like shopping for the new home of your dreams – you have to find that right blend of personality and professional experience to get the fit that’s right for you.

It’s a Dog’s Life in Chattanooga

Posted by Barry Evans in Chattanooga TN Real Estate

What is a dog’s life like in Chattanooga?   Apparently it’s very good one.  The Walnut Street Bridge, a pedestrian only, popular attraction, now allows the 4 legged family members as well.

On Saturday, August 7th, it rolled out its welcome mat to the furry creatures and their responsible owners.  This privilege had been stopped nearly 10 years ago, but with increased family activities, and connecting to the popular, Riverwalk, it was the family friendly thing to do.
