DOWNTOWN - FRANKLIN 

Tennessee was founded in 1796 — the inspiration behind our name. Our roots in real estate go back to 1999, and 1796 Real Estate Co. was built on a simple belief: clients deserve a higher standard of service.

​

The 1796 Real Estate Co. is built on a simple idea: Bring back the highest level of personal service to the real estate industry.

Selling with 1796

Selling a home in Franklin, TN is more than putting a property on the market. It requires preparation, positioning, communication, and thoughtful execution from beginning to end. At 1796 Real Estate, our approach is built around professional representation, high-quality presentation, and practical programs designed to make the selling process easier and more effective.

Professional Representation, From Start to Finish

Your home deserves more than basic marketing and occasional updates. Our agents are selected for their professionalism, responsiveness, judgment, and commitment to service.

We manage the details carefully — from pricing strategy and preparation to showings, negotiations, inspections, and closing. We also invest in presentation, including high-quality photography and marketing designed to present your property at its best. Just as important, you will know what is happening throughout the process. Clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtful guidance are part of the standard at 1796.

​

Buy Before You Sell

For many homeowners, the hardest part of moving is timing the sale of one home with the purchase of the next.

Our Buy Before You Sell program is designed to help eligible sellers move forward with greater flexibility. In qualifying situations, homeowners may be able to purchase their next home before their current property sells, reducing the pressure of coordinating two transactions at the same time.

That can mean more time to find the right home, less pressure to accept an offer simply because of timing, and a smoother transition from one property to the next.

​

Market Ready

Sometimes the difference between a good listing and a great one is the work completed before the home ever reaches the market. Our Market Ready program can help eligible sellers complete approved improvements before listing — with the cost advanced upfront and generally repaid from the proceeds at closing.

This may include improvements such as painting, flooring, landscaping, repairs, staging-related work, or other projects designed to improve the home’s presentation and marketability.

The goal is simple: help you prepare the property properly without requiring you to fund every improvement out of pocket before the sale.

Buying With 1796

Buying a home is both a financial decision and a negotiation. At 1796 Real Estate, we bring together experienced representation, expanded financing resources, and innovative buyer programs designed to give our clients greater confidence from the first showing through closing — and beyond.

 

Professional Representation. Stronger Offers.

The right representation can make a meaningful difference in a competitive market.

Our agents do more than open doors and write contracts. We help buyers understand value, evaluate competing properties, structure offers strategically, identify potential negotiating leverage, and navigate inspections, appraisal issues and closing.

The goal is not simply to get an offer accepted. It is to help you secure the right home on the strongest terms we can negotiate, while protecting your interests throughout the transaction.

 

Real Estate + Mortgage Expertise

For most buyers, the home and the financing are inseparable. That is why some 1796 professionals hold licenses in both real estate and mortgage lending.

Through our affiliated mortgage platform, buyers may have access to more than 97 lenders nationwide, allowing us to compare a broad range of loan programs, rates and structures rather than relying on a single bank or limited lending menu.

Whether you are purchasing your first home, moving up, buying an investment property or have a more complicated income or credit profile, our objective is to help identify financing that fits the transaction — and your long-term goals.

Mortgage services are provided through appropriately licensed mortgage professionals and are subject to lender guidelines, credit approval and applicable law.

Buyback Guarantee

A home can look perfect during a showing and still leave a buyer wondering afterward: What if this wasn’t the right house?

For qualifying purchases, our Buyback Guarantee provides an additional layer of confidence. If an eligible homeowner is not satisfied with their purchase, the home may qualify to be purchased back within the first six months for 100% of the original purchase price, subject to the program’s terms and conditions.

It is another way 1796 is working to reduce some of the uncertainty that traditionally comes with buying a home.

Financing Options

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

Through our affiliated mortgage brokerage relationship, clients have access to a broad network of lenders and financing solutions for:

  • Home purchases

  • HELOCs and home-equity loans

  • Refinancing

  • ​

For buyers, the advantage starts before the offer is written. We can help connect you with a licensed mortgage professional to review financing and confirm qualification so you can shop and make offers with greater confidence.

For sellers, stronger buyer qualification can mean a more dependable transaction. We make every reasonable effort to verify that financed buyers are properly qualified and have the ability to close before their offer is accepted, helping reduce the risk of financing-related cancellations.

Because our mortgage affiliate works with multiple lenders, clients are not limited to the products of a single bank.
