About
A marketer's eye for real estate.
After a 20-year career in marketing and advertising, I didn't want a career refresh—I wanted a full renovation. New goals, new blueprint, new industry, grounded in the things I've always loved: strategy, marketing, and taking care of people.
A finance degree from SMU and an MBA from Emory's Goizueta Business School mean I bring data-driven strategy and a marketer's instinct to every transaction—whether I'm pricing a listing, positioning a home, or helping you read a market with clarity.
I don't just sell real estate—I invest in it. Beyond my own home, I own and operate rental property, so I've sat on more than one side of the table and read your deal with the same eye I bring to my own.
A Mississippi native shaped by years in Dallas, Atlanta, and Memphis, I now call Nashville home. Whether you're a lifelong local writing your next chapter or relocating block by block, my approach is the same: work collaboratively, communicate honestly, and make sure you don't just find a property—you find a community you can call home.
I'm proud to be affiliated with Compass—which means the marketing tools, technology, and national network behind my work match the level of strategy I bring to it. For you, that's broader reach for a listing and sharper insight for a search, backed by a brokerage built for how real estate works today.
In their words
Why Nashville clients recommend Patrick.
Swipe for more →
He came prepared, organized, and knowledgeable about every area we explored, helping us make the most of our short trips. He also helped narrow down the homes that would be the right fit out of the probably 700+ homes I had favorited (I wish I was kidding!).
He truly listens, pays attention to the details, and makes the whole experience enjoyable. By the time you find your perfect home, you’ll actually be sad the process is over because you’re going to miss him!
You were amazing to work with! Thank you for all the work you did to help us find the perfect home in Nashville. We now have a new favorite realtor and, best of all, a friend!
You went above and beyond making the move-in easy—organizing the keys, hiring a cleaning service, even handling the HOA. It took so much pressure off me.
You really did go above and beyond at every stage of the process. I'm so happy I ended up with you as my realtor.
I was a tenant of Patrick's for four years and can't recommend him highly enough. Professional, friendly, and quick to respond—he worked with me through a tough stretch and always had my back.

Questions I hear a lot
Nashville real estate questions, answered.
Don't see yours? Ask me. It's what I'm here for.
Ask a question →Can I buy a home in Nashville if I live out of state?
Yes. Many of my clients do. Before you visit, I get to know what you want and narrow the options so every trip counts. You get a tour kit with a map, a schedule and notes on each home, plus a drive through the neighborhoods you're considering. Between trips I can walk homes for you on video, and most paperwork can be signed electronically.
What will a home in Nashville really cost me each month?
More than the mortgage payment. Before you fall in love with a house, I walk you through the full monthly picture: principal and interest, property taxes (which vary a lot by county), homeowners insurance, HOA dues where they apply, and typical utilities. That way the number you plan around is the real one. Your lender confirms the final figures.
How do I choose the right Nashville neighborhood?
Start with how you want to live: commute, walkability, yard, budget. Then I share what I know firsthand, like what's being built nearby, recent sales and how fast homes are selling. I'll also point you to public resources like school information and city crime maps so you can judge for yourself.
What's my home worth?
Online estimates are a starting point, not an answer. I'll look at recent comparable sales near you, your home's condition and updates, and what's competing for buyers right now, then give you a realistic range. There's no pressure to list.
What areas do you serve?
Greater Nashville: Downtown, East Nashville, Germantown, Wedgewood-Houston, The Gulch, Belmont-Hillsboro, 12 South, Belle Meade, Bellevue, Donelson, Hermitage, Mt. Juliet, Nolensville, Brentwood and Franklin, plus Davidson, Williamson, Wilson, Sumner, Robertson and Cheatham counties.
Do you work with real estate investors?
Yes. I own and operate rental property myself, so I can help you run the numbers on rent, expenses and long-term value, and read a deal the way an investor would.
