BARTLETT, TENN. - Crye-Leike Bartlett, the largest real estate firm serving the city of Bartlett, Tenn., recently organized a heartfelt breakfast event on Tuesday, May 16th, to extend its gratitude to the city's first responders. The event, hosted by Managing Broker Laura Gaither, brought together REALTORS and sponsors to honor these dedicated individuals. Recognizing the selfless service rendered by the men and women who safeguard the community, Crye-Leike Bartlett aimed to express its appreciation through the breakfast event as a small token of gratitude. "We are honored to be able to show our appreciation to the men and women who selflessly serve our city," said REALTOR Associate and MFD Retiree George Langston. Langston, who has firsthand experience in the field, recognizes the immense value that first responders bring to the community. "I have a soft spot in my heart for all these guys and girls. They chose a job that robs their family. So, remember when you're in need, it's three numbers and someone's coming. They showed up and Crye-Leike Bartlett showed out. Thank you for your dedication and service." Langston, along with Brian "BJ" Bennett, originally came up with the idea for the breakfast in 2016. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had to take some time off, but are now resuming the annual tradition in 2023. "It is a blessing to live in a community where we can count on our first responders in every aspect," said REALTOR Associate Sonja Tulacz. "They are there in times of crisis, but they also take time out to visit our schools and businesses to educate us and truly be active members in our community." REALTOR Associate Nancy Moore expressed similar sentiments. "We know that each of the first responders that attended this event had a full plate that day, not just at breakfast but with the many tasks that they are responsible for, and they still took time out of their day to allow us to honor them and spend time with us. We truly appreciate them." Crye-Leike Bartlett, the first branch office opened by Harold Crye and Dick Leike in 1980, remains committed to serving the community's real estate needs.

As a top producing team in Crye-Leike's Middle Tennessee region, The JR Group is always looking for ways to give back to the community. Margaree King Richard graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point in 2008. After being commissioned, she completed Explosive Ordnance Disposal School at Eglin Air Force Base and became the first female African American Officer Bomb Technician in the United States Army. While Margaree King Richard was serving as Commander of the 723rd EOD Company in Fort Campbell, KY, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and opted to continue her command to show fight and resolve. She completed extensive chemotherapy over a six-month period and completed her command. After chemotherapy treatments and leading her company on foreign and domestic ground, she was assigned to Austin Peay State University as an Assistant Professor of Military Science. As she educated, trained and mentored cadets and students in the Clarksville area, she realized future leaders need assistance and incentives to maintain focus in a program filled with historic success. While on active duty, Montgomery and Roof had the privilege of serving with Margaree King Richard and witnessed firsthand her extraordinary resilience, selfless service and commitment to excellence. In an effort to bring her inspiring story to light, The JR Group decided that a scholarship in her name would be the best, most permanent way to accomplish this. "We partnered with the APSU's Director of Advancement, Alumni Relations, Military Alumni Chapter and the ROTC Department to help make this vision a reality," said Montgomery. "The fact that this scholarship has reached the endowment threshold so quickly speaks volumes about our community's support of APSU, the military, and the high regard people hold for men and women who lead with character." The academic and physical rigor of the Austin Peay ROTC program gives students the skills to apply procedures and techniques learned through critical thinking as an Army Officer. The Leader of Character Endowment has become one of many ways Margaree, mentors, family and friends help those in need find success. In a continued effort to give back, the JR Group will contribute portions of each commission to the Clarksville Montgomery County Education Foundation, the Montgomery County Veterans Coalition, and now, the Margaree King Richard Leader of Character Scholarship. The JR Group clients select which organization receives a donation in their name.

Founded in 1979, Crye-Leike (pronounced CRY-LIKE) operates in nine states and Puerto Rico and in 2021 generated more than eight billion dollars in residential sales. For those that might not be familiar, Crye-Leike Real Estate Services is a firm focused on the success and satisfaction of client relationships. These relationships are developed through brokers and agents, sellers and buyers, and their vendor partners. You might ask what makes Crye-Leike different? Well, they rise above many other firms in that they are not a transaction-driven business but rather a relationship-building one. Villa Rica resident Rob Smith now runs the Villa Rica firm along with his team of realtors, Jennifer Lammie, Keelyn Crook, Jami Gilham, and his office manager Sarah Baker. Crye-Leike offers a unique one-stop shopping experience for consumers. They provide many different financial services with home services and mortgage lending, property management, national relocation services, and insurance coverage. This format allows Crye-Leike to meet each client's needs. The current real estate market in west Georgia continues to be red-hot with the limited supply of houses for sale combining with strong demand creating great opportunities for sellers and unique challenges for buyers. Rob Smith suggests, "First-time homebuyers should have a pre-approval letter from a qualified lender stating the value that they are pre-approved." Smith elaborates, "Crye-Leike offers Ribbon, a program that enables pre-approved buyers to present a cash offer as opposed to a conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA loan. This is presented to the seller as a cash offer that is the strongest offer that can be made in the market today. Ribbon differentiates traditional buyers from investment companies. Homebuyers, who have a pre-approval letter from a qualified lender in hand, can utilize the Ribbon program's evaluation model to submit the strongest offer possible for the house they select." To help buyers and sellers in west Georgia make their best decisions Crye-Leike Villa Rica will be hosting a series of Real Estate Seminars starting in March. Registration and Seminar agenda information will be announced shortly. Rob Smith greatly appreciates the community of Villa Rica, "Villa Rica has continued to be the most welcoming community, and it's great to live in town."

MEMPHIS, TENN - Realtors and employees of Crye-Leike Real Estate Services' West Tennessee and North Mississippi branch offices recently raised over $7,000 to benefit the Blackwell Animal Rescue Center (BARC). The two-day auction and split-pot drawing was held at the Crye-Leike Memphis - Quail Hollow office, where attendees were able to bid on items such as box seats for a Memphis Grizzlies game, tickets for a Tennessee Titans game, designer bags, real estate courses held by Success Real Estate School and much more. Vicki Blackwell, managing broker of the Crye-Leike Olive Branch, MS office, founded the Blackwell Animal Rescue Center in 2014, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home abused and abandoned animals. Blackwell's fellow Crye-Leike associates understand how much work she has put into making BARC a safe place for local animals and wanted to hold this special event to support her organization. "In 2008, when the real estate market tanked, there was a surge in animals that were left behind in abandoned properties," said Blackwell. "My mom, Betty Sumler, a broker at Crye-Leike Olive Branch, and I started rescuing these animals and networking to find homes. We are strictly run by volunteers who network and transport these animals to various rescues in the northern states. Northern states have mandatory spay neuter laws so they do not have an abundance of animals like we have in our area. We specialize in heartworm treatments, spay/neuter and various surgeries needed to remove tumors, broken limbs, etc. We have rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed over 1,500 animals." On December 2 and 3, Crye-Leike agents, employees and local community members filed into the Quail Hollow office to bid on a variety of items and support BARC. Lynda Drake, a Crye-Leike employee, graciously coordinated the entire event. "I adopted two dogs about nine years ago and saw what rescues like BARC do for these deserving animals, so I decided to put my bargain shopping skills to a good cause," said Drake. "We hope that we can make this an annual event and make it even more successful in the coming years!" The event was a huge success and a great example of Crye-Leike's Core Value of being a "good neighbor". Crye-Leike extends a huge thank you to all of the amazing people who donated auction items and attended the event.
