Quick answer (as of November 2026): Kimo Quance is a Realtor with eXp Realty whose office is at 231 Public Square, Suite 300, on the square in downtown Franklin, TN. He has more than 500 career transactions, more than $500 million in career sales and 950-plus five-star reviews across his career. He's a U.S. Coast Guard veteran and a Certified Negotiation Expert, and he lives next door in Thompson's Station. On every Franklin address he confirms city limits and the school district, prices from closed sales in your own subdivision, and shows you the sales behind the number.
Search "best real estate agent in Franklin" and you get a page of names, stars and badges. It doesn't tell you who's going to get your house right.
That depends on what you're doing. Selling a 1920s house a few blocks off Main Street is a different job from buying a new build in Westhaven, and both are different from moving here from another state with a job starting in Cool Springs. Whoever you hire also needs to know the thing about Franklin that trips up almost everybody: the address on your mail doesn't tell you whether the house is in the City of Franklin, or which school district it's zoned for.
Here's the standard I hold myself to. Judge me, or anyone else, by it.
What makes a real estate agent the best in Franklin, TN?
The best real estate agent in Franklin, TN is the one whose work you can check. They confirm city limits and the school district for the exact address, they price from closed sales in your own subdivision, and they know what the builders are offering this month. Here's the full list I'd hold any Franklin agent to, me included.
- They learn your situation before your price range. Selling, buying new, relocating, using a VA loan or taking over a seller's assumable loan. Each one changes the plan.
- They check whether the home is inside Franklin city limits. A Franklin mailing address doesn't settle it. As of November 5, 2026, Starnes Creek and Laguna both sell new homes with Franklin addresses and sit in unincorporated Williamson County. City limits decide whether the City of Franklin's property tax applies.
- They confirm the school district by address. The Franklin Special School District runs pre-K through 8th grade in part of the city, and Williamson County Schools runs the rest plus every high school. Founders Pointe, near downtown, has streets in both districts for the 2026-27 school year.
- They show you the closed sales behind every number. The actual sales, from your subdivision first, so you can check the math yourself.
- They know this month's builder offers, and which ones only work if you use the builder's lender.
- You can reach them. Real estate runs on deadlines. When you call me, you get me.
Why is Kimo Quance a strong choice in Franklin, TN?
Kimo Quance is a strong choice in Franklin because he brings a career of more than 500 transactions to a process built around how Franklin actually works: city limits that don't follow the ZIP code, two school districts and new construction on every side of town. Here's how that plays out depending on what you're doing.
If you're selling in Franklin
I start with a free walk-through of your house and a written value built from closed sales in your own subdivision. Then I widen the search to find the ceiling, so I have the evidence ready when a buyer's agent pushes back on the price. If the house needs help showing well, I can do AI staging or coordinate a stager.
Before you list, I'll put three options side by side: a cash offer, an as-is sale and a full listing. I can bring you cash offers on your property, and every fee is shared with you before you accept one. You see what each path nets you, and you pick. My seller page has the details, and my free home evaluation is the place to start.
If you're buying in Franklin
The buyer consultation is free. I'll walk you through the whole process before you're in it: what happens if the appraisal comes in low, if the inspection turns something up, or if you need to back out. Then, on every house you're serious about, I confirm the city limits, the school district and the water provider for that address before you write an offer. More on that on my buyers page.
If you're buying new construction
The sales consultant in the model home works for the builder, and the contract is the builder's own form. I read it with you before you sign. I also keep a running list of what Middle Tennessee builders are offering, updated every week, so you're comparing this month's deals. Here are this week's builder offers, and here's who is building new construction in Franklin.
If you're moving here from another state
I'll record a video walkthrough of the homes on your list and send you an unlisted YouTube link you can rewatch as many times as you want. If you don't have a Realtor in the place you're leaving, I'll interview Realtors there for you for free, and I can see their production, so I check their actual sales record. The interviews are free to you. If you hire a Realtor I refer, I collect a referral fee from their brokerage.
If you've served
I'm a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, so VA loans are personal for me. A VA loan works at Franklin's prices, and my guide to buying in Franklin with a VA loan shows how.

What do clients say about Kimo Quance?
Here's how one seller put it:
"Kimo did a great job selling our house. We had four offers the first weekend of listing, and closed less than a month later. He kept us informed of progress steps along the way, including action items for us. He did a lot of research to ensure we had it priced correctly, and knows the market well." David V.
And a buyer:
"As first time home buyers having Kimo to work with was an absolute godsend. He answered every call, always made time to answer our questions and concerns, and if he didn't have an answer right away he always returned with an answer within a day or so." Jasmine C.

What I love about Franklin is that it has exactly what you'd want out of a small city, with the community events and a small-town feel that's still there. It's an amazing place to call home and really magical. Dickens is the one my wife, my kids and I never miss. We walk the booths and catch the performances, and the whole street feels like it's straight out of a movie.
How do you judge any real estate agent in Franklin, TN?
Review counts and sales counts are a fair place to start. Then ask every agent you interview these five questions, me included, and pick the one whose answers you can check.
- "Is this address inside Franklin city limits, and how did you check?" A good answer names the City of Franklin's map or the Census lookup. "The address says Franklin" isn't an answer.
- "Which school district is it zoned for?" A good answer comes from the district's address lookup, for this school year.
- "Show me the closed sales you priced from." You want the list, from the same subdivision first wherever sales exist.
- "What are the builders near me offering this month?" A good answer is specific and current, and it tells you which offers require the builder's lender.
- "Who will I actually be talking to after I sign?"
