FAQs

We will set up email alerts directly from the MLS which is more accurate and up to-date than websites like Zillow or Trulia . We will also search for coming soon properties through our network of Realtors and target for sale by owners.

We will contact the homeowner on your behalf and make an appointment to view the home. Most of the time, homeowners will work with agents because we introduced a potential buyer to them . If the owner is not willing to pay commission, we will discuss options with you at that point.

Pre-qualification  is an informal determination by a lender or mortgage broker stating how much mortgage you can afford, while a Pre-approval letter is a gaurantee in writing by a lender to grant you a loan up to a specified amount.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"John was extremely flexible with our schedule needs!!!! He would make arrangements last minute, especially with how fast homes were going while we were looking, we extremely appreciated how willing John was to meet us when it worked with our schedules. He was caring, took his time with us in each home, and he made the process as fun as buying a home can be. He answered all of our questions, and had our back when it came to making offers. He gave great suggestions without being pushy. We love John! We also liked how often and quickly we received new listings."

I think it’s safe to say that without The Exodus group, specifically Christian Rasmussen, I would not have believed it possible for me to be in a home right now. I would be paying more per month just to rent. If you’re not sure if you qualify to purchase a home based on financial standing don’t be afraid to talk with Christian as he does not take no for an answer. He will do everything he can to get you in a position to buy a home. He will tell you exactly what you need to do. It is because of his faith that God wants to bring each one of us, individually, into the promised land that I am able to enjoy what I think is a pretty cool home. This home will be a great place for family dinners, outdoor activities, and more!

"Christian Rasmussen has a level of professionalism that is exceptional.  He is thoughtful and respectful in every single communication.  We currently reside in Wisconsin and Christian assisted us in the negotiation and purchase of land in Tennessee.  He stopped to explain terminology we weren’t familiar with and was conscientious in every aspect of our search and successful purchase.  We are thankful that we had the opportunity to work with Christian and highly recommend him as a top flight professional in his field.  If you are looking for real estate in Tennessee, Christian is the best person to contact."
