Sell Your Home in the Upper Cumberland With a Price You Can Trust
A price built with appraisal methods, then marketing every day until it sells.
Selling in the Upper Cumberland starts with the right number
If you're getting ready to sell your home in the Upper Cumberland, the first thing you want to know is what it's worth. The second thing you want to know is whether you can trust that number.
That's where I come in. I'm a REALTOR® with The Realty Firm, and I've been a licensed Certified Residential Appraiser for 14 years. I price homes the way an appraiser values them: real closed sales, real adjustments for acreage, square footage, and condition. Then I market your home every day until it sells.
This page is for homeowners in Livingston, across Overton County, in Cookeville and Putnam County, and the communities in between who want to sell for a price that holds up, without guessing.

How I sell homes here, and why it's different
Most agents pull a few comps, pick a number, and list it. When the home sits, the price drops. In Overton County over the last year, the median home sold for about 95% of its original list price (UCAR MLS, Overton County residential sales, September 2025 to September 2026). That gap is usually the cost of starting too high.
I don't start with a hopeful number. I start with the data an appraiser would use, and I show you every sale I used and why. You'll know where your home stands before a single buyer walks in.
Then the marketing starts, and it doesn't stop. I post three videos a day across the Upper Cumberland, so local buyers already know me before your home hits the market. Every listing gets professional photos and a walkthrough video. Homes over $400,000 get drone photos, and homes over $500,000 get paid Facebook and Instagram ads for the first 14 days.
The full plan, step by step, is on how I sell your home.
What you get when you list with me
- A price built with appraisal methods. Real sales, real adjustments, and the math shown to you.
- A professional cleaning before photos. Your home looks its best on camera and in person.
- Professional photography and a walkthrough video on every listing.
- Drone photos for homes over $400,000.
- Paid social ads for homes over $500,000, $300 to $500 a week for the first 14 days.
- Your listing in both local MLS systems, Realtracs and UCAR.
- An update from me every week. Showings, feedback, and what the numbers say. I don't go silent on clients.
- An open house if your home passes 90 days, plus a fresh look at the price and plan.

Selling across the towns I serve
Every town here sells a little differently. A home on acreage outside Livingston is a different sale from a subdivision home in Cookeville, and a lake property near Dale Hollow Lake is different again.
I also help sellers in Monroe, Algood, Baxter, and across Overton County and Putnam County. Selling land instead? See selling land.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide what my home should list for?
I use the same methods I use as a licensed Certified Residential Appraiser: recent closed sales that are truly similar, adjusted for differences like acreage, square footage, and condition. You see every sale I used and why.
How long will it take to sell?
It depends on your home, your price, and your town. In Overton County over the last year, the median home took 78 days to sell (UCAR MLS). Pricing it right from day one is the biggest thing you control.
Do I have to do repairs before I list?
Not always. I'll walk through your home and tell you which repairs are likely to pay for themselves and which ones won't, so you don't spend money that doesn't come back.
