Nashville Realtor · Developer

I help Nashville buyers build new homes and buy STR investments with an operator's eye.

Hi, I am Erin Tunney. I am a Realtor in Nashville, part of a third-generation family of developers, and I specialize in new construction for residential and multifamily buyers plus short-term rental investment properties.

My background as a developer and Realtor gives me insight from finding the lot, approving plans, breaking ground, and handing over the keys once it is complete. I will be there guiding you the whole time.
I know the short-term rental investment space inside and out. I previously owned and operated a portfolio of STRs, and I have built and sold them. That firsthand experience helps me identify which properties have real potential—and which risks could undermine the investment.
