Nashville was the city of choice for Ms. Moore after having traveled exten- sively. “I’ve had this in the back of my mind since moving here and getting into real estate, but seeing it come to fruition is most gratifying. I look forward to continued success with Nashvillians as well as those who want to become one of us.”

Ms. Moore has enjoyed 25 plus years of sales expe- rience and looks forward to many more in Nashville.
