Chris Harwell sets the standard for concierge residential real estate service. I recently worked with Chris to sell a downtown condo and purchase a home in the Green Hills area. From the first meeting, I was impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the Nashville community. In selling my condo, Chris’s marketing strategy was carefully targeted and beautifully executed in the best available photography, brochures, and online and print media. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome of the sale and the ease of the transaction, thanks in large part to the team that he has put together. From contract management to closing attorney, each individual shares his enthusiasm for working cleanly and efficiently for the client. Chris even located and secured a rental when we sold my condo quickly but had yet to find just the right home to buy. As we toured homes, I developed a great deal of respect for his near-encyclopedic knowledge of real estate in the Green Hills area. Chris has deep experience as an investor and as a representative for buyers and sellers. He knows new construction, renovation, and can size up the condition of a home in a few minutes. He has the right contact for every house-related need and no problem is unsolvable. Once we found the right home, Chris proved to be a skilled negotiator, always working with careful research to back up our position, complimented by his gracious personality and instinct for what may motivate a seller. Ultimately, I am confident that I could not have had a better advocate in navigating Nashville’s highly competitive real estate market. In the last six months he delivered on and exceeded my considerable expectations of a real estate broker. #SoldOnChris Read More

As first time homebuyers, we had SO many questions during our journey to find our home! The agent we worked with, Sharon, was so knowledgeable, so helpful and kind, and always available to us day or night. She is a relator turned friend, someone we trust to have our best interest at heart, and an agent we can't wait to work with again when the time comes. Can't say enough good things about her. Wonderful experience all around. Read More

Tarkington & Harwell have been amazing my entire time living in one of their properties. I have built a wonderful relationship with them because they are friendly, approachable, and understanding people. I have never related to a property management company the way I relate to this team. I have yet to meet anyone in Tarkington & Harwell that does not exceed my expectations as a tenant. Everyone I have met has been of high character and high integrity. They are all friendly professionals with a human touch. They strive to create positive relationships with the intent of having long-term tenants. While property management is a business, I definitely feel like part of a family. I could not have asked for a better team of people from whom to rent a property. I can’t imagine renting from anyone else. Read More

Renting from Tarkington & Harwell has been like having my own home. Maintenance requests have always been handled promptly and repairs made professionally. When the home I was renting was sold, everyone helped make my move to another Tarkington &Harwell home as smooth as possible. I would definitely recommend renting a home from Tarkington & Harwell.

My wife and I leased a home from Chris Harwell for eight years and our entire experience with Chris was in a word . . . excellent! You don’t lease a “house” from Chris; you lease a home because Chris does everything he can to make you feel welcome, take care of every need, and respond almost immediately when there is a problem. You will not lease a home from anyone in Nashville who will take better care of you than Chris Harwell. Once you begin working with Chris, you need not look for anyone else. Read More
