FEATURED PROFILE – Ryan Parker (Nashville Real Estate Broker Associate | REALTOR | Specializing in Residential Purchase, Sale & Investments)
A few months ago, I relocated back to my beloved, Nashville, TN. As I searched for a place to live in Nashville I was overwhelmed with the housing boom and the crazy rise in prices. When I used to live in Franklin, TN, I paid $750 monthly for a two-bedroom apartment. However, now you can’t get anything livable under $1,500 monthly. Just saying, that things have greatly changed since I lived here.
As I searched for a place to live, I took my cats to their final checkup with my Vet in Ohio. Out of the blue, he asked if I needed a realtor. Surprisingly, my vet was also moving out of state. He mentioned a Christian realtor in Nashville that was amazing and helped him. I immediately contacted Benchmark and received a call from a wonderful man named Ryan Parker, who not only encouraged my search but prayed with me at the end of our call. Unbelievable! Since I was planning a quick trip to Nashville that weekend, Ryan scheduled a meeting that weekend to show me properties.
To make a long story short, that weekend, not only did Ryan locate the perfect home for me, but it was more than I expected and under my budget.
My desire to do this feature profile on Ryan is to share with you the passion and gifts of this amazing realtor and to support and encourage him and all he does. If you have the privilege of crossing Ryan’s path, you have been truly blessed. He is exactly who you need if you are searching for a rental, condo, home, or more.
Here is more about my buddy, Ryan Parker.
