Beyond the Transaction

Originally from Georgia and now proudly calling Tennessee home, Crystal understands that real estate is about more than property, it’s about finding a place where people truly belong. When she’s not negotiating deals or calling bids, she enjoys spending time with her family, cheering on college football, supporting her kids in sports, and enjoying time with friends. Even then she’s never far away, always just a call or text when her clients need her.
