Kelly Easter Email & Phone Number

My roots in real estate were deep from birth. My Grandfather owned and operated Easter Auction Company in Alcoa TN in the 70's. Growing up attending real estate auctions on Saturdays was the norm. I remember the smell and texture of old books, hardwood flooring and the smell of established gardens, etc. All snapshots of people's lives....tangible remainders of the things they used to mold their home. This was always so fascinating to me. I used to wonder why people chose certain paint, for example. Did it make them feel happy to have a light lavender kitchen? How many home cooked meals came out of the garden... and I wonder where the dinner table sat? I just loved touching everything and imagining the lives of those who had lived there. These experiences are what enabled me to really appreciate that a "home" is so personal from individual to individual or family to family. A house adapts to our personalities, our unique tastes, and many times our sweat and muscle work. To match clients with a house that offers them the ability to create their idea of Home is thrilling to me. I moved to East Nashville in my late 20's and really started to appreciate the renovation of homes that had not seen any life or attention in a long time. It's fun to see houses that are no longer cared for and dilapidated to come to life again with a new owner's ability to see what could be; a home to provide comfort and happiness for many years to come and a space to build on their dreams. I've completed projects on my own properties including the renovation of an old Auto Diesel College boarding house that was transformed into a lively little four unit space in East Nashville. While we changed a lot of the property, we knew how much the old manager, Vincent, loved this house and called it home too. We left some of his touches, like his established irises and some favorite yard figurines. To bring the past and the present together in older homes is one of my favorite things.
