The Anderson Family

"After renting near downtown Memphis for years, we wanted space and safety for our kids. Emmett showed us what conventional financing could accomplish in Bartlett - we got a four-bedroom home with a backyard for less than our rent. The kids spend every weekend at the park."
Derek M.
Wolfchase Area
"I work from home and needed dedicated office space. Bartlett homes offered the square footage I needed at a price that made sense. Emmett's team made conventional financing simple, and I closed before my lease ended. Now I've got a real home office and a much shorter commute."
