As the ONLY Exclusive Buyer Agents in Johnson City and the Tri-Cities Area of NE Tennessee, we are often called to assist RELO's, retirees, transferring families to our area. Some transferees want to purchase before relocating, but others decide to rent first before buying. A Buyer's Best Choice Realty prides itself on assisting the relocating individuals and families, whether they are renting or purchasing.
One of the hardest rentals to find are units that can be rented short term, with a minimum of 2-3 months, NO SMOKING, and PET FRIENDLY.
That is why Dr. Dean Wilson and wife, Broker Janine J. Wilson, have purchased several area properties for rental purposes. All of the rental properties are currently rented, except for the duplex, which they have just completed renovating. New tile has been installed throughout the unfurnished Unit #1 and new carpet in the 2 bedrooms of Unit 1. This like new unit has approzimately 1200 sq ft, 2 BR and 1 bath with washer/dryer hookups. Out of season storage is available above the oversized carport, and a carport closet. It rents for $750/month including water/sewer/trash pickup fees. And best yet, NO SMOKING INSIDE either unit, and Pets are allowed with prior approval and refundable deposit with no damage.
The other half of the DUPLEX is coming back on the rental market as a fully furnished unit (linens, towels, pots and pans, EVERYTHING!) The furnished unit has been extremely popular for SHORT TERM rentals, such as travel nurses coming for 13-26 weeks at the highly touted Johnson City Medical Center Hospital or individuals/couples relocating to the area, who want to rent before purchasing, etc. The fully furnished unit #2 rents for $785.00 including water/sewer/trash pick-up and has a separate yard and parking area from Unit 1. Minimum rental time on this unit is 1-3 months. NO INSIDE SMOKING, Pet okay with refundable pet deposit separate from security deposit (also refundable).
This property is within a block of the Indian Trail Middle School, is in the LakeRidge School District, and Science Hill High School district.
And individuals wanting a month or longer rental, can also go to the guest suite website at http://www.tnbuyerbroker.com/suites/suites.htm and check out the Ashley Ryan Guest Suite(NO SMOKING and unfortunately NO PETS at guest suite)
And for those relos looking for something other than these units, our Exclusive Buyer Agents are always happy to assist in finding comfortable and reasonably priced rentals for short or longer terms. Buyers are not our ONLY specialty...we pride ourselves on assisting with all of the needs of individuals and famillies wanting to make the Tri-Cities TN area their home.

East Tennessee To See Relief From TVA Rate Cuts
Although TVA is a large reason that the East Tennessee region is one of the lowest areas for cost of energy in the country, the increases over the past year have hit many pockets harder than the local population would like to see. In an effort to help the community, The Johnson City Power Board had absorbed a small portion of those rate hikes, but there still was a large percentage to swallow. Thankfully, the Tennessee Valley Authority, in light of recent figures, has cut rates back, not just once this year, but has announced a second cut in April 2009.
It is nice to see companies that not only care about the "bottom line", but can see how it may affect their customers. If the customer is having trouble, eventually they will, also.
Thanks to both organizations for your concern for your communities and markets!
Please see link below for a link to a short article with more figures:

Carbon Monoxide Press Release - The Silent Killer
Our agency (A Buyer's Best Choice Realty) has been giving Carbon Monoxide Alarms to clients for over 10 years. It has saved 2 families already!!! Definitely a valid concern for new clients and current home owners!! See local release, below:
Carbon Monoxide — The Silent Killer
The winter months are here. As the mercury begins to dip, some families, struggling to pay their heating bills, will turn on the kitchen stove burners and the oven in an effort to take the chill off their home. What these families don’t realize is how dangerous this practice can be. A gas oven or range top should never be used for heating. A fire could start and poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) fumes could fill the home. Any fuel-burning heating equipment (fireplaces, furnaces, water heaters, space or portable heaters), generators and chimneys can produce carbon monoxide.
Often called a silent killer, CO is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels, such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil and methane, burn incompletely.
CO enters the body through breathing. CO poisoning can be confused with flu symptoms, food poisoning and other illnesses. Some symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, light headedness or headaches.
Everyone is at risk for CO poisoning, but infants, pregnant women and people with physical conditions that limit their ability to use oxygen, such as emphysema, asthma or heart disease, can be more severely affected by low concentrations of CO than healthy adults. High levels of CO can be fatal for anyone, causing death within minutes.
The goal of the Johnson City Fire Department is to reduce the number of carbon monoxide incidents in Johnson City and discourage anyone from using the range or oven to heat their home. Install CO alarms inside your home to provide early warning of accumulating CO. Chief Paul Greene recommends that your heating equipment be inspected by a professional every year before cold weather sets in.
• CO alarms are not substitutes for smoke alarms. Know the difference between the sound of smoke alarms and CO alarms.
• Test CO alarms at least once a month.
• If your CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location and call for help. Remain at the fresh air location until emergency personnel say it is okay.
• If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries or other trouble indicators.
The Johnson City Fire Department wants everyone to be warm and safe this winter. Make sure your home has carbon monoxide alarms.

Local artist's work on exhibit at Fossil Site-Yet another reason to visit or relocate to Johnson City/Tri-Cities TN area!
Local artist's work on exhibit at Fossil Site
By Allison Alfonso
Press Tempo Writer
What a surprise to discover Suzanne Stryk is exhibiting work at the East Tennessee State University and General Shale Brick Natural History Museum at the Gray Fossil Site. She's exhibited a lot of places, but few where it seems as appropriate.
Stryk has a master of arts degree in painting and bachelor's degree in art history. She's done medical illustration, illustrated her husband Dan's poetry and exhibited her nature and science-inspired paintings while taking occasional teaching jobs and workshops. Her color palette has evolved from muted greens to shining blues and more as she painted dragon flies, beetles, snakes, birds, antelopes, butterflies, nests, monkeys, seashells and ocean life. Her journals of images and fragmentary sentences suggest a scientist at work, and her works portray in format and substance man's need to categorize and make sense of the wild world.
As a child, she'd fill the bathtub with wild animals she'd found. Stryk told me she thanked her mother for never saying "no." She and Dan recently went to the Western coast and studied the shore life there: he wrote poetry and she painted pictures. What a life.
Suzanne's "Keeping An Eye On Things" is on display through April 12 at the fossil site and features paintings, sketches and drawings from 2001-08, journals, animal skulls and insect specimens. Some of the work was inspired by bones and materials found at the fossil site and the Smithsonian Institution and some by the insect collections of others.
Stryk's imagery is increasingly complex and her paintings more physically layered. Trying to understand is increasingly challenging. I can define the imagery, but there's no overall clarity, just mystery. Perhaps that's a point. Time is long and the world too vast to make sense of. Man is small: That's the feeling I left with.
Jessica Evans, fossil site exhibitions and marketing coordinator, walked through Stryk's second floor exhibit with me one recent Monday. We talked about interesting elements of each work while researchers and other site workers worked behind closed doors and open windows on fossils they've unearthed. Those fossils will someday tell us something new and definitive. No such luck with art, but then, we don't expect that. If it opens a small window of knowledge and curiosity for us, we're lucky.
"The artist listens, keeps a close eye, and attempts to translate the voice of nature so that others may hear," Stryk said in Evans' exhibit essay "The Natural Connection." "But the artist, also, sometimes resembles a scientist: collecting evidence, investigating what the subject can tell us, and interpreting this data to the rest of the world. Yet, in turn, the scientist at times resembles the artist: gathering specimens, arranging them in a fitting order, deliberating, then telling the story."
If that's not enough richness for you, visit the Frank H. McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Feb. 7-May 3 to see "River of Gold: PreColumbian Treasures from Sitio Conte." The exhibit of Panamanian gold circa AD 700-1100 by master artisans includes hammered repousse plaques, gold-sheathed ear rods, pendants, bells and precious and semi-precious stone, ivory and bone objects. Animals that reflect the diversity of species and animal-human composites are recurring themes.
The exhibit provides archaeological and cultural context, ethnohistorical information, excavation drawings and videotaped segments from the 1940 film footage of the excavations by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. The cemetery and artifacts were overlooked by gold-seeking Spaniards in the 16th century and rediscovered when the Rio Grande de Cocle shifted its bed. The Peabody Museum at Harvard University carried out the first expeditions in the 1930s.
