When Grace Sullivan walks into a home, she doesn’t just see rooms and to-do lists. She sees the potential for calm, comfort and a life lived more fully.

As the founder and owner of Southern Grace Home, Sullivan has made it her mission to transform the way busy families and professionals experience their homes. Her work goes far beyond closet cleanouts and scheduled repairs. It’s a comprehensive home management service built on trust, customization and a heartfelt desire to serve.

“The heart of this business is truly to help and serve homeowners,” Sullivan said. “Families are busier than ever, and when someone gets home at the end of the day, they just want to relax and enjoy time with their loved ones. Our business allows them to do that.”

Southern Grace Home is redefining luxury living in Williamson County by offering a concierge-level approach to home care. The company handles everything from minor maintenance to major renovations, often becoming an indispensable partner for those with demanding careers or family lives.

“It’s a little bit of everything, from basic home maintenance to large-scale renovations and all the things in between,” Sullivan explained. “Tasks range from scheduling an HVAC appointment to overseeing a bathroom remodel to picking up dry cleaning to organizing spaces.”

For clients, that means fewer decisions to make and more hours reclaimed. One of Southern Grace Home’s core strengths is acting as a liaison between homeowners and service providers. The team researches, negotiates, schedules and follows through until each job is done, removing the mental burden from the homeowner’s plate.

Customization is central to how Sullivan and her team work. She believes that no two households operate the same way, and each client deserves a plan that respects their time, preferences and budget.

“We start by meeting personally with each potential client to get a sense of their immediate needs and future home wish list,” she said. “From time to budget, we want people to feel comfortable making decisions that are best for their household.”

Southern Grace Home keeps a vetted list of trusted vendors, providing clients with a range of estimates and options tailored to their specific goals. Whether it’s a young couple expecting their first child or a senior needing help downsizing, the approach remains highly personalized and supportive.

That personal connection becomes especially important during life’s big transitions. Sullivan recalled one client who was placed on bed rest late in pregnancy and needed immediate, hands-on assistance.

“She was seven months pregnant and suddenly put on bed rest,” Sullivan said. “We came in to help her get ready by doing a reset on the playroom, setting up the nursery, taking old items to Goodwill and making sure she felt prepared before the new baby arrived.”

For Sullivan, those moments are a reminder of the deeper impact her work can have. While some may see home management as a luxury, many of her clients see it as a lifeline.

“My superpower is bringing calm to the chaos,” she said. “With Southern Grace Home, the goal has always been to take the everyday stressors off the client so they can focus on what really matters.”

Trust is the foundation of Sullivan’s business, especially when working in the private spaces of high-profile clients or families navigating sensitive circumstances. Confidentiality and discretion are non-negotiable.

“We have a wide range of homeowners, including high-profile clients who depend on anonymity,” she said. “We understand that someone’s home is personal and sacred, and we take that very seriously.”

To ensure that trust is earned and maintained, Sullivan personally meets with each new client before work begins. It’s a step that underscores her commitment to relationships, not just checklists.

In a region where the pace of life rarely slows, Southern Grace Home offers something rare: a service that honors both the physical and emotional needs of the modern homeowner.

And for Grace Sullivan, that means showing up not just as a professional, but as a partner.

“We’re not just here to organize or manage—we’re here to care,” she said.
