DISCOVER A BRAND NEW WAY TO OWN A SECOND HOME IN TENNESSEE WITHOUT THE ANXIETY OF MARKET UNCERTAINTIES
My Journey From waste Management To A TOP REAL ESTATE agent for semi-retired professionals Who Want to Effortlessly Navigate the Tennessee Real Estate Market and CREATE Their Dream LIFE
Todd Hasty
Years ago, I found myself starting over in a brand-new place—Smithville, TN. I had just left Nashville, recently divorced, and was stepping into a new life and career. Everything felt uncertain. I didn’t know the area well, and I was beginning a real estate career in a town that wasn’t yet familiar to me.
At first, it was tough. I was learning everything from scratch—meeting new people, figuring out the best spots, and understanding what made this area special. I split my time between helping develop a lake community and selling lake lots, doing my best to build something from nothing. I wasn’t just selling land; I was helping people find a fresh start, just like I was looking for myself.
As I spent more time in real estate, I realized something powerful—buying a home isn’t just about property. It’s about creating a lifestyle. I saw firsthand how moving to a peaceful lake home changed people’s lives. I knew then that I wanted to focus on helping others find that same joy, especially retirees looking for their perfect second home.
Now, with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping semi-retired professionals find their dream home on Center Hill Lake. Whether it’s a cozy getaway with a view or a lakefront property with space for the grandkids, I know exactly how to match my clients with a home that fits their next chapter. Working with eXp Realty, I’ve had the privilege of guiding countless buyers toward the relaxed, lakefront lifestyle they’ve always wanted.
