License # 356584

Born and raised in Williamson County, Chase Smith is the ultimate Nashville native. He attended The University of Tennessee and now specializes in residential real estate in
Nashville and its surrounding areas.

Prior to real estate, Chase worked for several companies in the music industry in Nashville. His most recent role was with Red Light Management, where he worked with the 42ent group touring with some of Country Music’s biggest acts. Chase left Red Light in March of 2020 in order to help found TBD Management, while also pursuing his real estate license. His music industry experience taught him two things: nothing ever goes fully to plan and each new situation or opportunity will always bring about new challenges to work around. This experience prepared him for a career in real estate by teaching him how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, finding creative solutions to problems, and how to work with all types of people on a day-in, day-out basis.

In Chase’s first 3 years in real estate, he has sold $75M+ in sales volume and overseen hundreds of transactions. This earned him a spot in the Top 20 Producing Agents at the largest brokerage in the state of Tennessee, Parks Realty. He’s received additional honors– being named 2021 Rookie of the Year, consistently placing as a Top 5% Real Producer for agents statewide, and, most recently, being ranked among top 1.5% of REALTORS^® in the US by volume in 2023.

Branding himself as "That_Nash_Native," he focuses on serving the community that he loves so dearly and has been loyal to his entire life. In 2024, while at Parks, he founded the “Nash Native Team” alongside partner, Caleb Gamblin. With a swift acquisition by Compass of Parks, the duo made the proactive decision to find a new home in real estate at Compass Nashville. Their growing business necessitated a quick hire of a team agent in Michelle Knutson, previously with The Agency Beverly Hills. At its onset, Nash Native Team combined over 15 years of real estate experience and $150M+ in sales volume.

Real Clients. Real Results.

"Can’t recommend highly enough. Ultimate professional. Extremely available and accessible throughout the process. Answered questions with expertise, calmed nerves and walked us through our first time selling with such care. On the buying side - Chase helped us find our dream house, negotiated and got us accepted the same day. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better agent."

Logan C.

"We couldn’t have chosen a better REALTOR^® to work with when finding our first home! Chase knew of all the best spots we never knew were on the rise! Chase was very diligent and provided so many options checking all of our boxes despite us looking during a dry season. Working with Chase was such a relief when buying our house, we didn’t feel pressured or like we were just another sale. We felt like the whole process was a breeze and would highly recommend to anyone in the Nashville area!"

Cameron B.

"Chase is the best realtor out there. We bought our first home with him on a short timeline and he was super helpful throughout the whole process, bringing us lots of options, helping us discuss pros and cons, and advising us on negotiation, securing us a great deal on our new home. He’s very knowledgeable of the Nashville market and answered all of our questions about the market and home buying in general. He is super friendly and easy to work with - highly recommend!"

Joe D.

"Working with Chase was the best decision my wife and I could’ve made when deciding to sell our home! We had a lofty goal to sell our home before the holiday season and Chase got it done! Chase set clear expectations about the entire process from the very beginning and was able to give us a clear understanding of what to expect with our goals/timeline. We were able to get our first showing within 24 hours of being on the market and received an offer shortly after. He assisted with scheduling everything (photos, repairs, inspections, etc) which was a major help given both my wife and I have full-time jobs. Chases attention to detail, organization, communication, and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the deal done was unmatched. We legitimately couldn’t be more thankful for Chase’s expertise and support throughout the entire process"

Daniel J.

“From the first call to signing papers, Chase went above and beyond to ensure that I was fully informed on what was available in the market, and what to expect buying my first home. His knowledge of the market and the city are unmatched by anyone in Nashville Real Estate. In closing, this team exceeded every one of my (already very high) expectations for this adventure, and I couldn't recommend reaching out to them more.”

Nick H.

“10/10 experience with Chase. I just purchased my first home and I couldn’t imagine working with any other team. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable from start to finish. Not only was Chase helpful with any questions or concerns I had during the process, he has gone above and beyond by staying in touch and helping me get in contact with people to do projects on my home and make it perfect! Couldn’t recommend this team and Chase enough. I seriously enjoyed every step of the way!”

Jordan D.

"Chase helped us find exactly what we were looking for and made the process incredibly easy and smooth. He helped us come up with a creative offer which landed our first home. First offer we made was accepted! Chase was great with communication, constantly keeping us in the loop of what was going on. He has a fantastic team of connections behind him for the home purchase and owning experience. We definitely recommend working with him and we will use him the next time around!"

Marina W.

"For a first-time home buyer, we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process than Chase. With Chase’s help we were able to find a beautiful home beyond what we were expecting. He guided us through a competitive bid process and was there every step of the way to answer our questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"

John A.

"Chase is the best and hardest-working realtor in Nashville. I have personally referred him to several friends who ended up purchasing a home with him and have heard raved reviews from them. His service level, attention to detail, and communication with clients are unbelievably strong. Chase knows how to get houses sold - simple as that. 11/10 recommend."

Michael D.

"Chase did an incredible job assisting us with our home. Not only was he resourceful; he was reliable, incredibly knowledgeable, and overall, just amazing at what he does. He helped get us the best deal when it came to selling our home and made sure to keep us in the loop! I highly recommend and encourage you to request Chase as your guy! He’s certainly mine from here on out! Thank you so much Chase!"

Letty R.

"Chase is amazing to work with! My husband and I closed on our first home at the end of February and it is entirely thanks to him. Chase is incredibly knowledgeable about all things realty and he shows up for his clients 110%. He understood our needs, kept us grounded after a few disappointing losses, and was our biggest advocate and cheerleader. We are SO glad we decided to work with him. We are certain we wouldn't be sitting in the home of our dreams if we hadn't!"

Anna Rose H.

"Would highly recommend working with Chase and the Nash Native Team if you are looking to buy or sell your home! Chase was very professional and helpful, taking the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process as I sold my first home while across the country. Their advice on improvements, pricing, staging, and more proved insightful and effective, guiding us to a great outcome and making the whole process seamless."

Ayla E.

"Chase was an invaluable asset in finding our home. He respected our feedback and time; listening to our visions and criticisms for what our house would look like. Chase offered insights relative to the market, location, and condition of each property. We felt heard and I cannot emphasize enough the high standard of communication, thoughtfulness, and knowledge that he invested in this process. Many thanks to Chase, he comes with our highest recommendation!"

Tiffany S.

“Working with Chase at Nash Native Was one of the best Home buying experiences ever. Chase (and Caleb) went above and beyond to show us Homes that fit our needs and helped us narrow down our options. Chase was there every step of the way and will definitely be working with him again, and recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the Nashville area!”

Eddie A.

"I had the pleasure of working with Chase to sell my property, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. His expertise in the market, and dedication to the deal made the process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to his knowledge and diligence, we were able to secure a buyer quickly, and sell my property at a great price. Chase is undoubtedly one of the best in the Nashville market, and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for an all-star agent."
