I was 20 years old the first time I visited the City of Brentwood. A student at WKU, visiting family for the weekend, I still remember the drive down Franklin Road, seeing the stately homes and tree-lined stretches and knowing I had found my future home.
I’m originally from a small town called Barre, Vermont. I wanted a southern city lifestyle full of opportunity, paired with the comforts and connections that make a small town feel like home, like seeing the same friends at the baseball field year after year, or running into a neighbor at the grocery store.
Today, after more than 12 years as a real estate Broker in Brentwood + Nashville, one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work has been helping others make that same discovery. I love learning how they imagine their routines: mornings in the kitchen, commutes to the office (or home office), evenings on the porch, weekends filled with family and friends—and then finding the neighborhood that brings that vision to life. Whether that is luxury new construction or a 1990s home ready to be reimagined (hello Nancy Myers vibes!) I love seeing my clients thrive, making Brentwood their home.
What makes Brentwood so special is the balance it strikes. For those moving from Nashville, it offers more space, in square footage or yard size, without losing the conveniences of city life. For newcomers relocating from across the country, it delivers a lifestyle that feels both elevated and deeply welcoming. Brentwood is about community and creating a life you love - It’s the kind of place where neighbors become friends!
