Buy a Home in Nashville, Brentwood & Franklin

Buyer advisory with Jack Costigan and The Costigan Group

Buying a home in Greater Nashville is a sequence of decisions — what you’re comfortable spending each month, which submarket fits how you live, how competitive a listing really is, and what you will trade on price versus terms. Jack Costigan and The Costigan Group at Compass represent buyers across Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, and surrounding Middle Tennessee.

This page is for primary-residence and relocation buyers. Short-term rental investment belongs on our short-term rental advisory.

We work through:

  • Criteria — budget, monthly comfort, must-haves versus nice-to-haves, and timing if you are also selling.
  • Geography — Get the geography right first so you’re not spending weekends touring homes in areas that were never a fit. Start with Franklin vs Brentwood vs Nashville.
  • Offer and diligence — when to compete, when to walk, and how to use inspection and appraisal windows.
  • Relocation — structured search if you are moving from out of state. See Nashville relocation.

How we run a Nashville home search

Personal consultation

How you live and what you can sustain — financing readiness (a real pre-approval), whether you need to sell first, and non-negotiables on location, property type, or timeline.

Neighborhood exploration

Nashville is not one market. We compare commute, daily life, building stock, and long-term fit — then narrow to a shortlist of areas worth touring.

Home search & showings

We filter hard before we tour. In-town buyers move quickly on showings; remote buyers get structured video tours and a clear see-in-person / pass call. Browse live inventory via Home Search.

Making an offer

A strong offer is more than price. Terms, timing, earnest money, and contingency structure matter — and the right ask depends on whether the listing is fresh and scarce or sitting and soft. We walk the tradeoffs before you write.

Due diligence

After acceptance, we coordinate inspections, review findings in plain language, and help you decide what is cosmetic versus structural or financial. We do not invent guarantees about repairs, appraisals, or closing outcomes.

Closing

Lender, title, and timeline stay coordinated through closing, including remote or hybrid closings when needed. If you will also sell, see selling with The Costigan Group.
