Nashville, Tennessee – Bob Parks Realty today announced plans to open a downtown location in the Gulch to cater to Nashville’s urban homes and condo market.
The new office, which will be part of the company’s Parks Properties division, will open later this summer in the building that houses the Turnip Truck, Sweet CeCe’s and Apricot Lane.
Eight of the city’s top urban real estate agents will be joining Parks Properties to open the new office. The Realtors are Ivy Arnold, Beau Daniel, Scott Evans, Zach Goodyear, Bonnie Kearns, Brent McPherson, Brian Stoltzfus and Carmen Swoopes. Goodyear will serve as Managing Broker for the office.
These eight agents collectively sold more than $50 million last year in Nashville, making them some of the top Realtors in the area.
“With the continued residential growth in the downtown area, it’s the perfect time to expand our business and develop a niche office that specializes in the urban lifestyle,” said Bob Parks, company founder & CEO. “Opening the Gulch Discovery Center with such strong talent will position Parks Properties as the premier company for buying and selling homes in downtown Nashville.”
“Bob Parks has proven to be an innovator in the real estate market over the last three decades and we’re excited to join his team and bring their established brand, cutting-edge technology and exceptional client support services to the urban Nashville marketplace,” Goodyear said.
The Gulch location will place a strong emphasis on community integration and customer experience, emphasizing tools such as its Parks Properties mobile app that was released last fall. The home finder app uses augmented reality to give users the ability to get listing information simply by pointing their smart phone or tablet at a property.
The office will also serve as a place where residents and visitors can gain more information about the Gulch and surrounding neighborhoods.
“This Parks Properties location goes beyond a typical real estate office - we view it as a Discovery Center that promotes the entire downtown community,” Parks said.
“We think that the Parks Properties Discovery Center will be the perfect addition to our mixed-use space at the intersection of 12th Avenue South and Pine in the heart of the Gulch,” said Dirk Melton, Development Director at Market Street Enterprises. “The strong experience of the Parks brand combined with the urban property expertise of these agents will make the Gulch one of Nashville’s best places to live, work and play – and that benefits everyone.”
