From decision to keys: This is the realistic sequence most Nashville sellers experience—from prep to closing day. We keep it simple, communicate clearly, and guide you through every step (no assistants, no hand-offs).
Typical timing: Week 1 (about 60–120 minutes)
Typical timing: Same week as consult
Typical timing: 7–14 days (sometimes faster, sometimes longer)
Typical timing: 1–3 days (often alongside prep)
Typical timing: 1 day for the shoot
Typical timing: 1–10 days depending on prep + your needs
Typical timing: Some homes get strong interest immediately. Others take longer. Your pricing, condition, and competition matter more than the calendar.
Typical timing: Same day to a few days
Typical timing: 7–21 days after contract
Typical timing: Often 25–45 days after contract (varies by lender and terms)

"Stephanie and the team at Nesting In Nashville are absolutely fantastic! We have bought two homes with them. Our first home in 2009 and our current home just two months ago. We loved working with them both times. The level of responsiveness and knowledge is exceptional. They really care about you as a person and truly want what is best for you when it comes to finding the perfect home. They get to know the client and family throughout the process and use that touch to find the best places that fit the customer's unique needs. I strongly recommend Nesting In Nashville to all my friends and will continue to buy all my properties with them."
"Our family has been working with James and Stephanie for many years and bought three houses through them. They are always responsive, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. They worked tirelessly to answer all our questions and concerns, helped to resolve many issues during the processes and became our trusted adviser in Nashville real estate. We strongly recommend this great team!"
"As first time home buyers, the Nashville real estate market seemed overwhelming to us. After about a dozen online searches I came across the Nesting in Nashville website and it was love at first site! Their website was full of easy to read information with helpful real estate tips specific to Nashville. James and Stephanie were so, so easy to work with, communicative and responsive, knowledgeable, and, above all, professional. You don't realize until you're in the midst of the home buying process how much stress a good real estate agent can take off your shoulders and that's exactly what James and Stephanie did. We officially own our first home and James and Stephanie at Nesting in Nashville made that possible. If you need a real estate agent, look no further."
"Steph and James recently helped us find a great place (again). This was the second time our family had a chance to work with them to find a home. They helped us think outside the box to land on the right solution for our goals and they were outstanding every step of the way."
