With over twenty years of experience in residential real estate, Grace Neary brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate one of the most meaningful decisions of their lives.
Grace takes the time to understand her clients’ goals, timelines, and motivations before offering guidance or recommendations. This intentional approach allows her to create strategies that are not only effective in the current market but also aligned with her clients’ long-term plans. Whether working with a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or a homeowner preparing for a transition.
Licensed since 2003, Grace began her real estate career in Virginia and Washington, D.C., where she worked in fast-paced, competitive markets that demanded accuracy, discipline, and a strong command of data. These early years shaped her professional foundation, teaching her how to manage complex transactions, anticipate challenges, and communicate clearly under pressure. Working in Northern Virginia and the Washington metropolitan area exposed Grace to a wide range of clients, including relocation buyers, government professionals, corporate executives, and investors. Transactions often involved detailed negotiations, multiple stakeholders, and strict timelines. Grace learned how to balance advocacy with diplomacy, ensuring her clients’ interests were protected while keeping deals moving forward efficiently. This balance continues to define her approach today.
After building a strong career in the Mid-Atlantic region, Grace brought her experience and perspective to Middle Tennessee, where she is now licensed and proudly serves clients throughout the Nashville area. She is part of Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, a brokerage known for professionalism, integrity, and local expertise.
For buyers, Grace offers guidance on neighborhood selection, market timing, property evaluation, and offer strategy. She helps clients understand how current conditions may affect competition, pricing, and negotiation. Her experience allows her to identify potential concerns early and address them proactively, reducing surprises later in the process.
For sellers, Grace provides strategic advice on pricing, preparation, and presentation. She understands that effective marketing begins with positioning a home correctly in the marketplace. Grace works closely with sellers to develop a plan that aligns with their goals while maximizing exposure and value. She emphasizes clear communication and realistic expectations throughout the selling process.
Grace also works with real estate investors, assisting them in evaluating opportunities based on market performance, long-term potential, and individual investment objectives. Her analytical mindset and practical experience help investors assess both the financial and lifestyle factors that influence a property’s success. She values long-term relationships and often works with investors across multiple transactions.
Grace is also passionate about the game of pool as well as playing backgammon. Both games emphasize focus, strategy, and patience—qualities that mirror the approach she brings to her real estate practice.
Grace is involved in volunteering and supporting organizations such as Special Olympics. She believes strong communities are built through service, inclusion, and shared effort. This commitment aligns with her conviction that real estate professionals have a crucial role in supporting the communities they serve.
Her tagline, Making your lifestyle happen in the home of your dreams, reflects the standard she brings to every client relationship. Grace is committed to helping clients find not just a place to live, but a place that truly supports how they want to live, work, and grow.
