I spent 25 years in education before transitioning to Benchmark Realty, LLC. Prior to real estate, I was proud to serve as an Executive Director in the Tennessee Department of Education and professor at Middle Tennessee State University.

My professional goal is to walk through life with honesty and integrity. I take my passion as a teacher to help my clients make home buying and selling as easy as possible. It is an honor changing from a Doctor of Education to a real estate agent to help people reduce any stress of selling or purchasing a new home. Please do not hesitate reaching out us.

Why is it a Good Time to Sell?
Nashville and all its surrounding areas are booming. As a consequence, there hasn’t been a stronger sellers market since 2008. If you have been considering making a move to a home that is better suited to your long term needs, this is an optimal time to consider listing your home, as most people selling their homes in this market are getting top dollar. I can help you navigate the process, from determining the proper sales price based on fair market comparables in your area, to staging your home for sale, to negotiating the best offer.
Is There a Home Out There for Me?
Absolutely. I am confident there is a home out there that suits your needs, and together we can find it. Given Nashville’s, and the surrounding areas growth, the market can move very fast, so together we will determine your “Must Have’s” in your new home, which will enable me to fine tune our search and move quickly when we find your perfect home.
How do I Get Started?
The first step is to have a face-to-face meeting to either map out a time frame to put your house on the market or determine what you are looking for in a home purchase.
If you are a seller, we will discuss how to stage your home, to assure that you can maximize your listing price. Using rational comparable sales in your area, we will determine either the right listing price for the sale of your home, or the correct offering price if you are purchasing a home. We will fully explain the inspection process, and assist in finding the best subcontractors for any necessary repairs that might come to light in that process. We will help you understand more complex transactions, such as what to do if there is a multiple listing situation and beyond.
We’re always available by phone or email, so contact us at any time with any questions you may have. We look forward to working with you and being a part of your team!
