“My parents and I lived at 1415 Otay Street in East Nashville for over forty years. Developers were building and changing my street and neighborhood and I wanted to make a change and move to a new area into a smaller home. Carolyn Mchaney Waller of Zeitlin Realtors was my Real Estate Agent and she was great. She helped me sell my home and property at an excellent price and find a beautiful home to retire. Carolyn is a wonderful Realtor who listens and understands the Nashville Real Estate Market. I trust her, and I recommend her to anyone as well.”
