Winter With the Warrens and Bradleys

Warren Bradley Partners have built their 36-year business knowing the ins-and-outs of every neighborhood in Nashville and Franklin. However, it’s leveraging their experiences in the community that allow them to find the best fit for their buyers.

Ask owner, Wendy Warren Bradley, how she builds this knowledge base and she’ll share any number of community experiences that she commonly shares with her clients.

“We love trying new restaurants and supporting the arts,” she said as an example. “We live in Brentwood, so we enjoy strolling around the Nolensville Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Sometimes I’ll take my dog to the trail at Pinkerton Park.” Fox and Locke in Leiper's Fork is a weekend favorite.  You never know who will be on stage as you are eating lunch. 

It’s these types of experiences that enable Wendy to connect with people of all types, whether they are extroverted socialites or more passive members of the community.

“We go out to eat often,” she says. “We’re big restaurant people and all about the food scene. Two of our favorites are Red Pony and Culaccino. We also really like Herban Market off Franklin Road near our office. My favorite thing to order is the Cajun salmon tacos.”

She loves to tell everyone who is looking to settle in the Franklin and Brentwood area about the different festivals throughout the year.

“We never miss Dickens of a Christmas or any Heritage Foundation festivals,” she says. “Another fun way to truly feel the vibe of Franklin is to stop in the shops and galleries during the free Franklin Art Crawl occurring every first Friday of the month.”

Visiting festivals is one tradition of the Bradley family, but Wendy says she has many other favorites. During the Thanksgiving holiday she says the morning is spent helping others before they settle down for their own turkey dinner at her house or her mother's.

“Over the years we’ve participated in the Boulevard Bolt, which benefits Nashville’s homeless community. It’s a five-mile run or walk along Belle Meade Boulevard on Thanksgiving Day.”

Other tradition-building recommendations she has is visiting Chad’s Winter Wonderland in Lebanon or making it a habit to go Christmas light viewing at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens.

One thing is for certain, to be an expert for others you must become an expert yourself, and Wendy and the Warren Bradley Partners family have spent a lifetime as a vested member of this community. As such, she is proud to share some of the experiences she cherishes herself and immensely enjoys finding others their forever home. WarrenBradleyPartners.com
