My home turf - and one of Middle Tennessee's best-kept secrets for Buyers who want value, community, and quality of life all in one place.
Wilson county, Tennessee
Why I love Wilson County
Wilson County is where I live, where I work, and where I send most of my buyers when they tell me they want a great school district, a safe community, and a real sense of place — without the premium price tag of Williamson County. Situated just 25–40 minutes east of downtown Nashville along the I-40 corridor, Wilson County gives you everything Middle Tennessee has to offer without sacrificing quality of life for affordability.
The county is anchored by two outstanding communities — Lebanon and Mt. Juliet — each with its own distinct character and appeal. Both fall within the Wilson County School District, share access to Old Hickory Lake and Percy Priest Lake, and offer a range of housing options from starter homes to custom estates.

Lebanon - County Seat With a Southern Heart
Lebanon is the kind of city that grows on you. Named for the biblical land of cedars, it was laid out as a town in 1802 and has been the civic and cultural heart of Wilson County ever since. Today it's a city of about 40,000 people that balances its deep historical roots with a genuinely growing future — new restaurants, new developments, and a downtown square that's earned Main Street accreditation.
Of all the communities I serve, Lebanon offers the most diverse housing inventory — from affordable starter homes in established neighborhoods to custom-built estates on acreage — at prices that continue to represent some of the best value in Middle Tennessee.
LEbanon highlights
One of the largest stands of red cedar forest in the eastern United States. The park offers hiking trails, tent and RV camping, fully equipped cabins, disc golf, a swimming pool, and some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Middle Tennessee. It's right in our backyard.
Cedars of Lebanon State Park
The largest fair in Tennessee — and one of the largest in the Southeast. Held annually in late summer at the Wilson County Expo Center, the fair draws hundreds of thousands of visitors with rides, live entertainment, livestock shows, and all the food you'd expect from a world-class county fair.
Wilson County Fair
The heart of downtown Lebanon — an accredited Main Street community with locally owned shops, restaurants, and a growing arts scene. The Capitol Theatre hosts concerts and events year-round. The Dancing Lights of Christmas transforms the square every holiday season.
Historic Lebanon Public Square
A beautifully preserved living history village that brings Tennessee's pioneer past to life. A genuine gem and a point of pride for Lebanon residents.

Mount Juliet - The City Between The Lakes
Known as "The City Between the Lakes," Mt. Juliet has become one of Tennessee's most celebrated communities. Its location between Old Hickory Lake and Percy Priest Lake gives it a natural beauty that complements its polished suburban feel. With top-rated Wilson County schools, excellent shopping at Providence Marketplace, miles of greenways, and new construction options at various price points, it's easy to understand why Mt. Juliet consistently attracts buyers from across the country.
Homes here move fast — especially in the $350K–$500K range. If Mt. Juliet is on your radar, being pre-approved and ready to move is essential. I'll make sure you're prepared.
Mount Juliet highlights
A stunning 2,600-acre state park along the shores of Percy Priest Lake offering hiking trails, lake access, fishing, wildlife viewing, and some of the most beautiful scenery in Wilson County. It's a favorite weekend destination for Mt. Juliet residents.
Long Hunter State Park
One of Middle Tennessee's premier recreational lakes — boating, fishing, swimming, and water sports right at your doorstep. Multiple boat ramps and marinas provide easy access. Mt. Juliet also connects to Old Hickory Lake to its north.
Percy Priest Lake
The largest shopping complex between Nashville and Knoxville. Providence is the retail and dining hub of Mt. Juliet — with Target, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, movie theaters, and dozens of restaurants all in one walkable complex.
Providence Marketplace
A beloved community gathering space that hosts Movies in the Park, outdoor concerts, community events, and year-round recreation. Named for the legendary Mt. Juliet musician Charlie Daniels.
