About Debbie Layman
Success and contentment are factors that matter greatly to me. Both are achieved when a buyer or seller has sold or bought a property and are happy with their decision. 34 years in sales and marketing, along with networking skills and interest in clients as individuals, contribute to the ability to achieve success for all parties. As an award winning Realtor and Accredtied Buyer Representative (ABR), I can professionally guide clients through the real estate transaction. As a 33 year Williamson County resident and business owner in Nashville, I am familiar with all areas and communities and can convey that knowledge to prospective buyers and sellers.
We worked with a great agent 33 years ago when moving to Nashville and I want to be that agent to those making the move today.
My many years as an equestrian competitor, farm owner and community volunteer allow me to offer insight into varied types of property might fit the desires of my clients. My personal interests are family, faith, my work with the Nashville Zoo, historical preservation and my Auburn Tigers. Let me help find your HomePlace.
