Fantastic experience: Paula and her entire team did a superb job for my wife and me as we sold our condo and purchased a new home in the Franklin area. Paula set clear commitments early on and consistently kept every promise. Her concierge staging and other value-added services were a wonderful bonus. She made dealing with a difficult buyer seamless by offering thoughtful advice and strong negotiations. I highly recommend Paula to anyone in the Nashville area looking to buy or sell a home. What she and her team do day in and day out is truly impressive.
Fantastic experience: Working with Paula and her assistant, Jennifer, was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From day one, their strategic approach to preparing and staging our home ensured it looked its absolute best, and their targeted marketing campaign generated immediate, high-quality buyer interest. Paula’s deep market expertise and sharp negotiation skills directly maximized our final sale price, while Jennifer kept the entire process seamless, organized, and stress-free behind the scenes. Thanks to their combined dedication, professionalism, and proactive communication, we achieved a timely, top-dollar sale. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and highly recommend Paula and Jennifer to anyone looking to sell their home.
Fantastic experience: If I could give Paula more than five stars, I absolutely would. After my home sat on the market for almost a year with no success, Paula came in with a completely different strategy, fresh ideas, and the confidence to tell me, “If you follow my advice, I’ll sell your home.” I trusted her and she delivered. She sold my home in just four months, at the price I wanted. What impressed me most wasn't just the result, but how she achieved it. Paula is an exceptional real estate professional: honest, knowledgeable, proactive an outstanding communicator and always one step ahead. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear she tells you what you need to hear and then works tirelessly to make it happen. Having spent many years in the mortgage and real estate industry myself, I've worked with countless agents. I can honestly say Paula is one of the finest Realtors I've ever had the privilege of working with. Her professionalism, integrity, market expertise, and commitment to her clients are truly in a class of their own. If you're buying or selling a home anywhere in the Franklin, College Grove, Brentwood, Nashville, or surrounding Middle Tennessee area, do yourself a favor and call Paula first. She doesn't just meet expectations she exceeds them. Thank you, Paula, for making what seemed impossible become a reality. You have earned my highest recommendation, my deepest respect and my sincere gratitude. Daniel & Medalid
Fantastic experience: We first worked with Paula Hinegardner over 14 years ago when she sold the home we had lived in for 10 years — in just ONE day! So when it came time to sell again after living in our next home for 14 years, there was no question who we would call. Once again, she and her team exceeded every expectation and had our home under contract in only 6 days. One of the things that makes her so special is what she calls the “Paula Treatment.” She helped guide us through all the right updates to make our home show its absolute best — from paint colors and touch-ups to cleaning and staging details. Her eye for what matters truly made a difference and helped our house sell quickly. Throughout both experiences, she was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about us and our home. Her team handled every detail and made the entire process smooth and far less stressful. She also helped us find our beautiful new home in Reed’s Vale, which we absolutely love. We are so grateful for her guidance, expertise, and dedication over the years and would highly recommend her and her team to anyone buying or selling a home.
Fantastic experience: Paula, Jennifer and team were wonderful to work with as we bought our first home. As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn, and they were incredibly patient in walking us through the process and explaining the “rules of the road.” They’re very knowledgeable about the market and spent a lot of time showing us homes and helping us think through what would be the right fit for our family. Paula also shared a great list of trusted professionals, which made things much easier from inspections through closing. When it came time to negotiate, Paula was a fantastic advocate for us. We’re so grateful for her guidance and would absolutely recommend Paula and team!
Fantastic experience: Paula Hinegardner is simply outstanding. In what many would consider a challenging market, she sold our Franklin, TN home in just 9 days with three competing offers. Her strategic negotiation skills allowed her to leverage those offers and secure the highest bid possible. She didn’t just list our home — she elevated it. Paula staged the property beautifully and even invested in upgrades herself to maximize value. Her confidence and expertise were evident from day one. Her assistant Jennifer was equally impressive — professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The communication, transparency, and integrity from both of them made us feel confident and informed every step of the way. If you want results, professionalism, and a team that truly works hard for you, we highly recommend Paula Hinegardner.
Fantastic experience: Paula Hinegardner is a miracle worker and the best realtor in Nashville! She staged our house, took incredible videos and did extensive advertising. Then, just like that, our house sold in just three days! We spent just one day looking with Paula to find our beautiful, new home. Paula is so professional and knowledgeable. She negotiated a great price and contract, and she timed our closings to streamline our move. Thank you so much, Paula!
It was a pleasure working with you Laura, thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I feel extremely lucky to have selected Paula and her team to lead our next chapter in life. Paula arranged over a dozen homes we selected to view when arriving from Washington, plus she added a few more. She would point out concerns and give advice to us not knowing the area at all, but knowing this would put us closer to family and future travel. I would recommend Paula and her team (Jennifer and Sarah) 100% for their experience, professionalism and caring attitude. Simple put, She ROCKS!
Fantastic experience: Working with Paula and her staff was an absolute game-changer for selling our home. From our very first meeting, they took care of everything—coordinating professional photography, arranging painting touch-ups, and flawlessly staging each room to highlight our house’s best features. Our home was under contract within day! We couldn’t be happier with the results, and we wholeheartedly recommend Paula and her team.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Paula Hinegardner as my realtor while purchasing my home, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Paula was a dedicated advocate for me, ensuring that my best interests were always at the forefront of every conversation and negotiation. The process wasn’t without its challenges—working with a seller who was particularly stubborn and resistant to compromise. However, Paula handled every roadblock with patience, professionalism, and determination. Through multiple rounds of counteroffers and tense negotiations, she remained focused on achieving a deal that would be both fair and advantageous to me as a buyer. I always felt that Paula was actively fighting for my needs, giving me peace of mind during the most stressful parts of the process. What truly set Paula apart, though, was her marketplace expertise. She was incredibly knowledgeable about local market conditions and trends, which helped guide our strategy and ultimately contributed to securing a great deal. Her insight into property values, fair pricing, and market timing proved invaluable, allowing me to make informed decisions at every stage. Thanks to Paula's efforts, we were able to close a deal that exceeded our expectations. Not only did I end up with a wonderful home, but the terms were far more favorable than I could have hoped for when I first started the process. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond as a true advocate for your interests, look no further than Paula Hinegardner. I’m beyond grateful for her support and expertise, and I will definitely turn to her again in the future.
Thank you for this review, I loved the opportunity to help you!
Fantastic experience: I have sold many houses and Paula is the best realtor I have ever had. She is professional, knowledgeable and extremely thorough. She took care of everything that needed to be done and sold my house in one day! I highly recommend Paula.
Thank you Jeri!
Fantastic experience: Paula was very thorough and professional. She and her team provided services that most other agencies do not. Our house was cleaned, then staged with furniture and accessories. The photographer took daytime, nighttime and 3-D photos along with aerial drone videos. We received multiple offers the first day it was listed. She kept us informed during the whole process from listing to closing. Paula made it a wonderful experience.
Thank you Brian!
Fantastic experience: Paula and Jennifer helped us sell our property and purchase a new property in Nashville. Overall we had an amazing experience working with them and could not have asked for more. On the buying side, they identified issues with some of the houses we were initially interested in, and helped us avoid potential issues down the road. Paula helped us put together a strong and reasonable offer that came on top in a multiple offer situation. On the selling side, Paula and Jennifer worked tirelessly to ensure our house was in pristine condition before putting it on the market. All we had to do was pack and move. They took care of the rest, including cleaning, painting, and staging the entire house! They listed our house on a Thursday, did an open house on Sunday, and we went under contract the following Monday. Paula and Jennifer were professional and accommodating throughout the process. They run a tight ship in terms of coordinating with various contractors / vendors and getting to market asap. They truly are a fantastic team, and a one stop shop for our real estate needs. I would not think twice to work with them again.
Thank you, it was a pleasure working with you!
Negative experience: We worked with Paula Hinegardner in the sale of our home and she was an absolute nightmare. She was horrible at communication, whenever she would actually communicate, she was condescending, dismissive and cold. Every email would start with “As I’ve repeatedly said before…” or some other lecture type of tone. Zero respect towards us or anyone else working with her. We were selling a home for over 2 million dollars and you would think her professionalism would be better than it was in a transaction of that scale. Unfortunately not. The actual week of our scheduled closing, she traveled out of the country and was almost entirely unreachable, yet left no one else for us to reach in her absence. Obviously, our closing fell through, causing us to lose thousands of dollars in our interest rate lock expiring, and she couldn’t care less. She was inept at getting anything done, or politely informing us of anything going on in the process, and eventually when our closing finally happened, it was in no part thanks to anything she did. She was truly the worst part of our entire selling and buying experience and I would caution anyone from using her or working with her for this very reason. Her motto on her website is: “whatever it is, whatever it takes, we take care of it” and our whole family (2 out of state realtors in the family) finds that to be an absolute joke, such a mockery of the profession of realtor. She made a stressful situation exponentially worse. Thanks Paula. :(
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, Kathrine. However, I believe there might be some confusion, as I was not your Realtor and did not represent you for the transaction you have mentioned. I take pride in providing excellent service to my clients, and it's essential for me to address any concerns accurately.
I understand from your comments that your home sale experience was a bad one. But since I was not your agent and did not represent you on your Nashville home sale, I can’t speak to the whys. If you would like to discuss your experience further or if there's anything I can assist you with, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I'm committed to ensuring all clients have positive experiences, and I would appreciate the opportunity to address any concerns you may have.
-Paula
Fantastic experience: We had an outstanding experience with Paula and her wonderful team of real estate professionals in selling our home!! Paula's expertise made all the difference.
Pam, thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you.
Fantastic experience: Don't think twice! Ask Paula to list your property if you want the best. All you have to do is sign the listing agreement and finish up at closing. Paula and her excellent team take care of everything else at no extra cost to the seller.
Thank you Dale!
Fantastic experience: The process of buying and selling one’s home is stressful no matter how much excitement surrounds the anticipation of a fresh start in your new dream house. And while we all know this to be true, selecting Paula Hinegardner as our agent for the second time, was a no brainer. Paula is very intuitive and listens intently to understand her clients. Since our first purchase experience with Paula several years ago, we had developed a friendship and so when a house popped on the market that we felt might meet our objectives, we called Paula immediately to get her thoughts. We knew Paula would give us her absolute unvarnished assessment relative to location, builder, value for price and any other tidbits she thought important for consideration. After listening to Paula's balanced feedback, we visited the home and within 2 days we were under contract. When it comes to selecting an agent there is no one else comparable- we have relocated numerous times in the past so we do not say this lightly. Paula provides a level of service and attention that creates an immediate sense of comfort and trust. From ensuring the purchase contract was negotiated to provide the protections necessary to ease our minds to examining and managing every detail of the inspection, we felt fully comfortable proceeding to close. On the selling side, Paula provides the most seamless service we have ever experienced. Every component is managed by her extremely capable team to organize staging, cleaning, handyman and very importantly, Paula’s finely tuned expert marketing campaign strategy. It is truly a worry free process that ultimately delivers an end result that tells the whole story…listed and under contract on the same day!! Paula is AMAZING and we are so grateful for her stewardship as a professional but equally to call her a dear friend! Mike & Dena
Mike & Dena, I am delighted to have been able to help your family multiple times. Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I have had a fair amount of exposure to real estate agents as I’ve purchased homes across the country in challenging markets and I am an active investor. Paula Hinegardner at KW is by far the best I have come across. She’s knowledgeable, incredibly responsive and accommodating. If you’re just starting to look for a realtor or working with one that feels anything less than impressive, I would encourage you to reach out to Paula. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
thank you!
Fantastic experience: Paula is a very knowledgeable, energetic and experienced agent. She really worked to understand our needs and wants, which led to the purchase of our dream home in Franklin. When we had challenges with the builder after inspection she was an expert at representing us. Thank you, Paula!
It was a pleasure working with you, thank you!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have worked with Paula twice, both times she helped us sell our current home and buy a new one. Paula is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and her experience is second to none. She has great intuition and insight and was always available to answer any questions we had. Her team is also phenomenal - they are incredibly organized and made the entire closing process seamless. Paula will always be our go-to agent anytime we buy or sell, we always recommend her to friends when they are looking for an agent. She is the absolute best!
Thank you for the review! It is always so great working with you.
Fantastic experience: Paula has been magnificent for over 18 months…. We decided many years ago that we would move to Nashville after our daughter graduated from high school. After 26 years on the West coast it was time to come back home. We began the work over 2 years ago and Paula guided us every step of the way. We were 3000 miles away and the market was moving swiftly. Paula listened to our wants, guided the efforts and kept us focused. She was as good at the details as she was at the overall strategy and vision. She hosted us on 2 visits to Nashville and she did what we couldn’t from 3000 miles away. Once our decision was made to settle into new construction that was in process, Paula provided guidance on hardwood floor choice, interior painting, cabinetry decisions etc. She oversaw the home inspection. She did the blue tape walk thru at the home. . She did the final walk thrus while we packed, attended high school graduation and welcomed new grandchildren into the world all while, at the same time, planning to move clear across the U.S. She took the pressure off and let us enjoy a somewhat stress free move. She went beyond what is expected from a successful real estate agent. Today, she continues to provide great references on the work we are undertaking to finish out our home. Her strategy and vision combined with her relentless work ethic made this all possible. And because of that we are back home…..
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! It was truly an honor to assist you through such a significant transition. I'm delighted to hear that I could help make your move back to Nashville smooth and enjoyable!
Fantastic experience: Very positive experience. Enough information but not an overload. Based on what I saw it was handled with the greatest of professionalism.
Thank you Bill!
Fantastic experience: Paula was amazing! Moving from NY to TN was a significant life change, so finding the right realtor to partner with us was imperative. She came recommended by a friend, and after interviewing several realtors, she was at the top. Paula listened to our wants and needs and pivoted without hesitation when we couldn't make decisions. She is a true professional and expert in real estate in the Nashville, Franklin area. Knowledgeable and well-connected to the community, Paula goes above and beyond for her clients. Her candid approach was the perfect fit for us, and she helped us find our new home in an ideal location and settle in with ease. We felt cared for every step of the way and comforted knowing we were in good hands. We loved working with her. Ben and Mary
It was a pleasure helping you find your perfect home! Thank you for this review!
Fantastic experience: There is no coincidence Paula is the top agent month after month. She is truly exceptional. Paula understands the market, and is very familiar with the neighborhoods around Nashville. Paula and her team provided information, services and excellent communication which resulted in the quick sale of our home in a very unstable market. Paula was always available for home tours and had the answers to all the agent’s and potential buyer’s questions. With her market strategy, kindness and great energy she made our selling process….simple. We will definitely reach out to Paula in the future for all our real estate needs. If you are looking for professionalism and results contact Paula Hinegardner.
Thank you Laurie, it was a pleasure working with you!
Fantastic experience: Paula and her team were amazing! It was the easiest, smoothest house sale we have ever had.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Paula and her team are the absolute best!
Thanks David!
Fantastic experience: Paula was outstanding & enjoyed working with her team.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We’ve worked with Paula on several transactions now and I could not recommend her enough! She has extensive knowledge and experience which has proven extremely valuable in getting the job done and doing best by her clients. No need to look elsewhere, Paula is hands down the best agent we have worked with!
It is always a pleasure to work with you, thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Paula is hands down the most fantastic real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Paula has assisted us with several complicated multimillion dollar deals (buying & selling) and we have 100% trust in her. Not only is she a fantastic professional but her and her entire team are a true pleasure to work with.
Thank you for your trust, and for this review. I wish you the absolute best!
Fantastic experience: Paula’s team, vision and model for buying and selling real estate is top notch. The attention to detail when it comes to utilizing her extraordinary advantage program in selling your home is a service that allows the seller to focus on the essentials of packing, decluttering and being mentally prepared to move. Her team literally comes in and takes all the guess work out of the time consuming and hard things like painting, landscaping, staging, photographing and any handyman repairs to get it picture perfect and ready to list. It takes so much pressure off the seller. Thank you for helping us get it ready so quickly, guiding us and selling it fast for exactly what we needed to move on to our next home. It was an easy and flawless transaction.
Thank you Kerah!
Fantastic experience: Our family decided it was time to relocate from the Western Suburbs of Chicago to the Franklin area. Before we had even fully decided on our timeline we connected with Paula and she took the time to help us understand the area. We spontaneously came in town and she moved quickly to get us a full slate of appointments in all the areas we were interested in. She guided us the entire way and we untimely fell in love with the area she recommended from day one. We could not be happier with the experience. She was an incredible guide and advocate through the entire process. We ended up buying a new construction and she was right there with us to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Paula and her team, especially for busy families who are relocating to incredible Franklin!
I love working with relocation clients, and you guys are the best! Thank you for the review!

Fantastic experience: Paula has worked with us on multiple home purchases and each time she amazes us more than the time before. There is never anything left undone. She always has our best interest at heart and going the extra mile is just normal. What a breath of fresh air! Everything is done by her team in a timely manner, all questions are answered promptly and accurately. They are true professionals! We highly recommend her and would not use anyone else!
It is always a pleasure working with you Victoria, thank you for this review!
Fantastic experience: Paula is easily the best the realtor that I have ever worked with. She and her team bring a well-formulated plan that is designed to bring maximum value for the seller. Her plan is well-timed and well-executed starting with extensive staging services with painters, movers, and stagers. This is followed by marketing which includes stunning photos and reaching out to targeted markets. The next stage of the plan is controlling the release the house into the market and then finally, very effective negotiations. The result is a smooth experience and a very happy client.
Thanks Kelly!
Fantastic experience: Paula and her team offered excellent 5-star concierge service throughout the entire process. The day after we selected her as our listing agent, she had a team of professionals evaluate and determine what needed to be done to maximize the overall value of our home. Paula arranged for contractors to arrive the next day to tackle and complete the projects identified - all at her expense. Our previous efforts to obtain this quality of craftsmen on our own proved unsucessful. Her photographer did an outstanding job, spending hours depicting our home and property at it's finest. The end result was 63 appointments and 19 offers in the three days allotted - we were stunned! The final selling price was 25% over asking with a price per square foot far exceeding previous sales in our neighborhood and one likely to stand for years to come. We highly recommend Paula and her team! Parke and Tina Congleton
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure working with your family.
Fantastic experience: I have done several deals with Paula and she has always exceeded my expectations no matter the circumstances. Paula and her team are always accommodating and are tireless professionals no matter the circumstances. It would be hard for me to believe that there is anyone in this business better than Paula. She gets my highest recommendation. Quite simply Paula is the best and I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone looking to sale their home. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
Thank you Bert!
Fantastic experience: We are so beyond grateful for Paula and her team. We bought several properties with them over a few month period of time and they were incredibly responsive and on top of it. They stood up for us and represented us in the best way possible. I don't have a single complaint and will continue to use them for every future property purchase. We have already referred them to several other people as well. Thank you so much for all you do and for being such an amazing agent!
Thank you Sarah!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for MORE than a realtor than look no further than the Paula Hinegardner Group! I cannot say enough about our incredible experience we had with Paula and her team. Everyone knows moving is a lot! Looking to relocate out of state adds a lot of stress. Finding Paula was a blessing to our family and instrumental in our move from CA to TN. There are so many factors and variables involved in moving and finding the right area and home for your family. Paula takes the stress out of it by managing all aspects of your sale and purchase; ensuring she is always accessible for you. Paula takes the game to the next level with her all in one package, concierge services, setting you up for success. She is a total advocate for you and your wants without you having to lift a finger. Paula is truly exceptional. She hustled for us and handled all matters in finding us a perfect home, securing the deal, ensuring a smooth sale, and helping oversee our home until we moved here. She is so connected in the community and knowledgeable in services and facilitated so many avenues for us. Paula is one of the best in the business and there is no other person I trust to sell or buy a home with other than Paula. She is incredible! I am so grateful to have found such an amazing realtor, and friend, who has made this such an amazing and easy experience that exceeded all of my expectations!
I'm so glad my team and I could assist you. Thank you for the wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: Paula and her team are exceptional! Our family relocated to Nashville from Ohio. From our first conversation it was clear that Paula was a great realtor and that she would be a pleasure to work with. And, she did not disappoint! She helped us understand the Franklin/Brentwood real estate market, narrow down our search to specific neighborhoods, and understand what our money would buy us in the crazy hot Nashville market (it was sobering but Paula gently helped us realize we were not in Ohio anymore!). We wound up purchasing a market home and Paula was instrumental in helping us secure it quickly. She has great contacts and a wonderful reputation so people take her seriously. She went above and beyond for us in many ways and we are truly grateful to her. She was wonderful during the home buying process and beyond. As newbies to Nashville, we are grateful for her offer to provide referrals and her offer to use her network to put our daughter in touch with kids her age before school starts! We cannot recommend Paula enough and if anyone asks us for the name of an amazing realtor, we will be putting them in touch with Paula!
It was a pleasure guiding you through the move. Wishing you all the best in your new home!
Fantastic experience: This team did an outstanding job of listening to our concerns and working through the challenging real estate environment in a professional manner.
My team and I enjoyed working with you. Thank you for the fantastic review!
Fantastic experience: Where do we even begin?! From the moment we first spoke with Paula, we knew there would not be anyone who would better understand our desire to relocate to provide a better upbringing for our new baby. Selling our home and relocating cross county with an infant, into one of the hottest real estate markets in the US, was going to be no small feat. However, Paula and her team took on the challenge and within just over a month, and with a LOT of obstacles, she scored us our dream home and has helped with the smallest and largest of details all along the way, to ensure a smooth transition. We truly feel like we have found “family” in Paula and know that achieving our goal to relocate to TN, would not have been possible without all of her hard work. Words cannot express how fortunate we are to have connected with such a PRO – THANK YOU, Paula. We owe you a lifetime of gratitude! - The Ocean Family
I am so happy to have helped you find your new home.
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Paula & her team were incredible! We moved from California to Tennessee and had a difficult time finding what we wanted in this market. Paula was on top of everything and made this process way easier than it should have been. From booking the first possible house showing to FaceTiming us if we couldn’t get to TN in time, she was a rockstar! We will definitely be using Paula and her team for any other real estate purchases in the future.
Thank you Jaclyn!
Negative experience: Cannot think of a more UNprofessional, borderline criminal realtor than this one. She is completely FAKE; pleasant to your face but a real stitch (especially for other realtors) to deal with; she is only interested in repping for high-figure deals (7 figures - like our house).... If you want such a "classy" person repping you, feel free.... She was the rep for the sellers from whom we purchased a home a few years ago. She strong-armed us over discrepancies in the house condition, wanted us to pay for a washer/dryer upstairs (that wasn't even hooked up - i.e. NO plumbing even available - it was just for show!), and then lambasted our realtor for bringing these things up. Have considered reporting her to the realty board. She will NOT be repping the buyers of our house this time... In a seller's market, good luck if you choose Ms. Paula Hinegardner! Also, if she sells your home quickly, the credit goes to the underlying market dynamics, not Ms. H....
Fantastic experience: We have bought and sold at least a dozen homes over the years, including the last three using Paula Hinegardner as our realtor. She is the most skilled, hands on agent we have worked with.
Fantastic experience: Paula was great! She knows the market inside and out and can give you all the facts you need to find a new home. We were first time buyers and making a move from out of state but she walked us through the entire process with attention to detail and great service! We're very happy to be here and very happy with our new home.
Fantastic experience: First and foremost, the first time I called Paula she actually answered the phone. Even though she did not know me she took the time to find out our needs and discuss the Nashville area with me. I told her when we would be in the area and set up an appointment to look at some homes with her. When my wife and I met her at her office we were surprised to find out that she had planned to spend the whole day with us. She drove us around to the different areas explaining to us why we would or might not want to live in the different areas. She also discussed some of the new home builders with us. We looked at a number of homes but none were quite right. I think each home we looked at gave her a better idea of what we were looking for. Even though we did not buy a home we felt we had made the right selection for a realtor. The next day Paula called me and said we had left a day too early that she had found the perfect home for us. It had not even come on the market yet. She immediately sent us pictures and a video of the home. We knew immediately that she was right, this was the perfect home. It was obvious that Paula had paid attention to our comments about the homes we visited as well as our conversations both with her and with each other. We immediately made an offer on the home and even though there were other offers we ended up with the contract to purchase the home. After that Paula and her team were with us every step of the way through the purchase process. They were also very helpful as they recommended vendors to do some work on the Home after we closed. In fact, even though we closed 6 weeks ago they are still there, answering questions etc. I don’t know what we would’ve done without them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Nashville area. They actually made the process of buying a home look effortless and relaxing. I know this sounds too good to be true but it actually is. We would never buy another home in the Nashville area without Paula and her team by our side.
Bob, thank you so much for your very kind words! I am so glad that you and Claudia are thrilled with your new Brentwood home!
Fantastic experience: Paula is a gem! Paula and her team managed 3 home transactions for us - all at the same time. Selling 2 homes and buying 1 home. To say the amount of work was extreme is an understatement. Paula accepted the challenge and ran with it - she brought in the best team of experts. No stone was left unturned - professional staging, landscaping advice and execution, painting, videography and professional photos, extensive marketing - - you name it and it was done! The process was long and stressful - her team honored that and kept us in the loop and involved when needed. There is a reason Paula is consistently ranked at the top of the Real Estate pool - she is the best. I had met her years ago on the tennis court and heard how passionately she spoke about her career - in the back of my mind, I decided I would love to use Paula and her team if the occasion ever arose. She was my first call when we decided to hit the ground running with 3 home transactions - and it was the best decision we could have made. If you are moving to the Nashville area, Paula is the first call you should make!
Fantastic experience: We've bought and sold 7 homes in 3 states. Paula stands out as the favorite of any realtor we've known or worked with. Her business background pushes her ahead of the crowd with professionalism and communication. Both of those qualities were very important to us. She is very knowledgable about the entire real estate transaction from list to close. We hired Paula after watching a similar home to ours, in our neighborhood, sell in a couple of days for top dollar. Not once, but twice! And - just days before the holidays. We were shocked at the speed of the sales and made a note of her name. When it came time for us to sell, we were glad we called this rock star. As the photographer left our home before we listed, he said, "Prepare for this to move fast. Her homes don't last on the market very long." He was right! We received two full price offers in 48 hours for more than we thought we could get for our home. When we had problems on the other end of a transaction - buying a home in another state - it was Paula we called to problem solve. She saved the sale (more than once - for more than one problem) by contacting the other agents and conducting conference calls from out of state! She restored my faith in realtors! There are only a few exceptional ones out there and she's at the top of that pack!
Fantastic experience: We purchased our home 4/16 with Paula as our agent when we moved to TN. We decided to list the home and test the market. Paula sold the house in 2 weeks for 24% more than a comparable home in our small neighborhood. She uses only the best staging group and video/photography people to make your home look like it is ready for an immediate move in. 6 stars in my book.

Negative experience: We worked with Paula for about a year during our home building process. She is very difficult to get a hold of! For about three or four months during the process I couldn’t get in touch with her at all even though I tried many times. As we neared the end of the building process she did get more involved but was too busy to come with us to our final walk through with the builder. She met us the following day alone and acted like our house was just “builder’s grade” and not worth her time. On closing day I expected her to be at that final walkthrough prior to signing but she did not show. We headed over to the title company for our closing and Paula was not there either. She did not tell us that she would not be there or what to expect. As this was our first home buying experience we would have felt more comfortable having our agent there. After closing to this date I have not heard from her regarding how everything went or a simple thanks for using her. NOTHING! I contacted her a few times since and nothing has come from it. I’m not sure who she is serving but it was not us. When I would try to call her during our year process she would either not answer or give an excuse that she was busy “going to a closing for another client” and couldn’t talk. That made the fact that she did not come to my closing that much more insulting.
Fantastic experience: Rodney Kennedy will go above and beyond for you. He knows customer service and can get things done.
Fantastic experience: Paula is excellent for someone coming from another state. She completely took care of us. With an incredible knowledge of the market, resources, and an endless list of professionals for the particulars that come up with an out-of-state move, she a master in her field, and her support was invaluable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Paula has helped my wife and me buy/sell multiple properties. Each experience has reinforced why she continues to be a top national producer for Keller Williams year after year. She is kind, resourceful, creative and tough when she needs to be - pretty much exactly what you want in an advisor. A true professional that brings value to all parties involved in the transaction process, regardless of who she represents. She also spoils her dogs and has a wicked backhand on the tennis court. Grateful for her friendship. Spencer
Fantastic experience: This was our second time working with Paula and both times were wonderful. When we learned at the end of August that we would be moving from Franklin, TN to Los Angeles in a month we knew we had to call Paula. For us, this home sale was about TIME. We needed to get a contract within 10 days after listing. We couldn’t mess around with someone who didn’t know what they were doing. We called Paula and she came right over. In one meeting with a Paula we had a list price, a workable schedule, a marketing strategy.... the whole game plan. Our favorite thing about working with Paula is her knack for telling us what’s important and what’s not. “Paint this room - not that one.” That only comes with experience, and she is truly the best. She notices details and helps you get your house looking its best in a way that buyers want. She also prevents you from spending time, money and effort on tasks that won’t really get you much of a return in your home sale. Paula also took the reigns with getting our house completely ready for showings. She scheduled painters, landscapers, Stagers, cleaners and the photographer. Even on our short timeline she hustled and helped us get the most important things done fast. I would not have been able to do all of that on my own, which would have meant a lower sale price and more time on the market. I must have said “you’re in charge, Paula” every day! If you work with her I suggest letting her do her thing. She knows what’s she’s doing and in the end her instincts are right on point. Once listed our house received immediate attention. We had 2 successful open houses and ended up with multiple contracts, which Paula worked to our advantage. We ended up selling our home to a wonderful family and it all came together seamlessly. The closing was a breeze. One last thing.... we know Paula is known for selling multi-million dollar properties. Our house was priced in the $400s and Paula still gave us A+ service. We are so grateful to Paula and her awesome assistant Tracey for all they did for us in a short period of time. We would recommend them to everyone!
Fantastic experience: The most professional real estate agent I have worked with. She not only helped us to sell and buy a new home at the same time, she connected us with the best mortgage company, interior staging, and new home builder. They all worked as a great team to help us with our family's dream home. She even stays in touch offering advice on home upgrades, enhancements, and value-adds to keep our home at its most valuable for resale one day! Small, medium, or large home needs - buying or selling - Paula and her incredible team can make it happen. We would not go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Paula is by far the most professional and customer focused realtor I have had the pleasure to work with. Your priorities are her focus.
Negative experience: I was working with Catherine Binhlam of Keller Williams Realty on buying my first home. She made this experience a miserable nightmare. Catherine in numerous occasions lied to me, belittle me, and insulted me. I’ve copied and paste the text messages so all can see! Prior to me getting my loan, I told Catherine I just bought a car. She said it’s ok, when the lender ran my credit they approved me for $150,000. I was so happy first home! I found my perfect house. 5 days before signing Catherine called me and said the lenders dropped me. I was sadden but, this is where the nightmare begins. Catherine tells me, I have to go to the dealership where I bought my car and return it. I told Catherine, I need my car to work. Catherine led me to believe because I signed a contract I would be sued and I’m obligated to buy the house! Now remember the lender DROPPED ME, technically I’m no longer obligated to buy the house. This lady said I had to return my car and I have to get the house.
Fantastic experience: Elizabeth Huddleston is by far the best realtor we have had the privilege of working with. This was a first time buying experience for my wife and I can and no one else could have made such a stressful process more enjoyable and exciting. I have never met someone so organized, diligent, and professional. She went out of her way to insure that we had viewed every current option as well as keeping us informed of new listings. There was never a time I could not get in touch with her and everything was performed in south a timely manner. My wife and I have the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood and it is all thanks to Elizabeth. She is hands down the most recommended person to work with and made this experience such a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Paula Hinegardner is The Bomb!!! After our house sat unsold with another realtor for months, Paula came in with her team and used excellent strategy to stage our home, highlighting the strengths and taking the eyes away from any weaknesses. She has a great group of contractors with such reasonable pricing for recommended upgrades (we only did a few minor hings though)..Our home then sold within a week with her!!! We even had 2 competing offers! I am not kidding. She has such a high energy team behind her. While every realtor SAYS that they have a team behind them, Paula really does have the most excellent team. Because she is so skilled and effective, she always has lots of business but she always treated us as her only client! She got our home in the Brentwood Homepage as well. We were living out of state at the time and her team took such great care of our house before, during and after the selling (until closing), that I started sleeping at night again instead of having insomnia. I cannot say enough great things about her and her team. Fabulous.
Fantastic experience: Paula is the BEST REALTOR!!! She helped us sell one home and buy another home!! I have passed her name along to friends who had the exact same positive experience! If you want it done right...go with Paula and her team!!!
Fantastic experience: Paula's thorough communications made our selling and buying process easy and less stressful. The way she handled everything was nothing less than professional. Her knowledge and expertise is invaluable to anyone looking for a first-rate realtor! It was a pleasure working with Paula and her team. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic experience: We hit the jackpot when we were referred to Paula to help us buy a house! We were relocating from out of state and Paula's personal experience with more than a dozen corporate relocations made her the perfect choice for us! Before we came out for a house hunting trip she sent us tons of information about the area and the homes in our price range. And when we arrived she had found us the perfect house and even negotiated it into our price range. We ended up getting a steal on a brand new home in a wonderful community in Franklin, TN. Paula went above and beyond to help us get the best upgrades possible in our home. She was so easy to work with, immediately responsive to our requests, and looked out for our best interests throughout the process. We are so happy with our new home and couldn't have done it without Paula!
Vanessa... Thank you so much for the nice words! I am so excited that you and Merrick are happy with your new home!!
