On this episode of The 615 Podcast, Nick sits down with top Tennessee mortgage broker CareyAnn Cyr, his longtime lending partner, to talk about the real story behind the Middle Tennessee market—and what buyers and agents need to know right now.
CareyAnn shares how moving to Nashville for music led her into lending, how getting fired three weeks after having her daughter pushed her to build CareyAnn & My Mortgage Team, and how that became the #1 originating team in Tennessee.
They cover:
Why she still sees today as a buyer’s market in Middle Tennessee
What will really happen when interest rates drop again
Why “marry the house, date the rate” still matters
The worst financial moves buyers make right before closing
How strong agent–lender relationships keep deals smooth
The daily structure and mindset that let her lead a big team and be a present mom
Packed with real stories, practical strategies, and a positive but honest look at the market, this episode is a must-listen for buyers, agents, and anyone curious about Nashville real estate.
