Agents Karen Tatro and Parker Tatro The market has shifted a bit but inventory is still very low and there are still Buyers. Chateau Elan is a very special place to live but it can also be confusing and overwhelming to buyers and buyer’s agents given the numerous HOAs and various amenity options/requirements. As a fellow resident of the neighborhood, I am present at the showings to showcase all the features, advantages and benefits of your home and the community as well. If you are thinking about selling in 2024, now is the time to get a game plan together.
