The Town of Collierville ~ Memphis Real Estate ~ Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates

"The Town of Collierville"



    Collierville, Tennessee is a town in Shelby County, and a suburb located in the Memphis metropolitan area. In the 2010 census, the town had a population of just under 44,000. This town is in high demand on the Memphis real estate market due to its mainly upscale town of luxurious homes, yet ability to retain an "old town" feel. The people of Collierville are just as swell, with over 40% of residents (25 and older) having a bachelor's degree. The job growth has increased as well which is great for the economy. Speaking of money, let's go shopping!!! Collierville is one of my personal favorite places to spend my hard earned dough. They have an outdoor mall with every store and then some, better known as 'The Carriage Crossing.' The outdoor mall allows perfect access for those in a hurry or just shopping at one store in particular without facing a huge mall crowd and parking (and then walking) miles away from the store. Collierville also has an infamous Farmer's Market that is held mid-May until October every Thursday from 8am-1pm in a church parking lot. For more information check out their website at www.colliervillefarmersmarket.org. They have numerous parks, organizations and are very town-oriented. I'm telling you---Collierville is awesome!! Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates is the perfect team to find your perfect scene.....which could most definitely be Collierville, Tennessee. You will be ecstatic knowing you have picked the best Memphis real estate team to conquer your home quest. So give them a call today at 901.878.LIST(5478).

FATHER'S DAY IN MEMPHIS 2013





"Memphis Father's Day 2013"

June already?! And Father's Day this Sunday? Time doesn't just fly it zips right on by!! Memphians, don't fret-Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates has tons of last minute ideas, gifts, tips and tricks for the special dad in your life. Known mainly for dealing with Memphis real estate and both buying and selling homes, we decided to branch out to our fellow Memphians and talk about stuff other than just Memphis real estate. So here are some ideas for this Father's Day:

Places to Go:

  • Graceland
  • Pink Palace
  • Memphis Botanical Gardens ( no-not for the flowers but for the Chicago band!!)~Tickets are $45 and the concert is on Saturday June 15th-technically the day before Father's Day, but hey it's all in the name of dads, right?



Things to Do: 


  • Chillax at home and watch his favorite movie with him
  • Cook him breakfast, lunch, or dinner (or all 3!) Side-note: This should make for the best Christmas gift Dad has ever even thought about buying you :)
  • Go hunting, fishing, boating or anything outdoorsy that he likes to do (Did someone say Shelby Farms?)
  • Grill out with and/or for him
  • Take pictures together to remember this awesome Father's Day the two of you shared in 2013

Gifts to Buy:
  • Tools

Just remember, whatever you give him, even if it's just a handmade card from the heart, it will mean the world to him and he will remember it- at least until next year ;)

Things To Do on Mother's Day

Mother's Day Indulgences
  • Provide a relaxing retreat for busy moms at a day spa or massage parlor. Send Mom off for a day of pampering at one of the many Memphis area spas.
  • Show Mom how special she is by treating her to a fancy dinner at any of Memphis's well-known restaurants. (Folk's Folly, The Butcher Shop, and Rendezvous are all very popular choices for special occasions.)
Mother's Day Gifts
  •  Some of the finest locally made chocolate  can be found at Dinstuhl's Chocolates. With delivery available, this makes not only a delicious gift, but convenient as well.
  • Another sweet way to let Mom know how much you care-Godiva Chocolates! What woman doesn't love gourmet chocolate?
  • A classic way to treat a woman is with her favorite flowers- and the Memphis area has many florists to choose from.
  • Diamond's are a girl's best friend, so dazzle your Mother in sparkling jewelry that will be cherished for years to come.
