Who Is the Best Listing Agent to Sell a Home in Franklin, TN?

Quick answer (as of November 2026): Kimo Quance with eXp Realty is a strong listing agent for selling a home in Franklin, TN. He prices from closed sales in your own subdivision, preps the house with a free walk-through and AI staging, and puts a cash offer, an as-is sale and a full listing side by side before you choose. He has more than 500 career transactions and more than $500 million in career sales, he's a Certified Negotiation Expert, and his office is on the Public Square in downtown Franklin.

Franklin homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago. In October 2026 the average Franklin home took 95 days from its list date to go under contract, up from 75 days in October 2025. If your house is priced wrong in the first two weeks, it's going to sit with the rest of them.

You need a listing agent who prices your house from the right sales, gets it ready to show and launches it where the buyers already shopping Franklin will see it on day one. Here's how I do each of those, and the questions to ask any listing agent you interview.

How long does it take to sell a home in Franklin, TN right now?

Plan on about three months to get a contract on a Franklin home. In October 2026 the average home took 95 days from its list date to go under contract and 132 days from list to closing, and Franklin had 5.64 months of supply, up from 3.72 a year earlier.

Based on information from Realtracs® for the period October 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026. These figures cover homes with a Franklin mailing address, which includes some outside city limits.

One more number tells you why pricing matters. In October 2026 the average active Franklin listing was asking $1,790,390, and the average home that closed sold for $1,350,137. Those are different groups of homes, but a lot of what's for sale is priced above what's trading. My Franklin housing market report has the whole month.

How should a listing agent price a home in Franklin, TN?

A Franklin listing agent should price your home from closed sales in your own subdivision first, then widen to the ZIP code to find the ceiling. A citywide median can't tell you what your house will bring, because a house near downtown, a new build in a master-planned community and a house on acreage all carry a Franklin address and sell as different products.

Here's how I build the number:

1. Closed sales in your subdivision from the last several months, matched on size, bedrooms, baths, lot and age.
2. Adjustments for what's different: condition, updates, lot position, garage and outdoor space.
3. Pending sales to see where the market is heading, and active listings to see who you're up against the day you go live.
4. The wider ZIP code set, and where your home falls inside it. That's the evidence I bring out when a buyer's agent pushes back on the price.
5. A written price recommendation with the reasoning. You see every sale behind it, and you decide the price.

An online estimate is a first glance. It can't see the kitchen you redid or tell that your lot backs to open space. My guide to what your Franklin home is worth goes deeper, and my free home evaluation is where you start.

What should happen before a Franklin home goes on the market?

Before your Franklin home goes live, your listing agent should walk the house with you, decide what's worth fixing, plan the staging and confirm the facts that buyers will check. Here's my order:

1. A free walk-through. I walk the house with you and tell you what buyers will notice, room by room.
2. A short fix list. Only the items that change what a buyer offers or what an inspector writes up.
3. Staging. I can do AI staging, where an empty or dated room is staged digitally and the photo is labeled as virtually staged. Or I can coordinate a stager for the real thing.
4. The address facts. I confirm whether the house is inside Franklin city limits and which school district it's zoned for, from the district's own lookup. The Franklin Special School District covers pre-K through 8th grade in part of the city and Williamson County Schools covers the rest, and buyers check this. It has to be right on the listing.
5. Your net. You see what you'd walk away with at the list price, before we go live.

How does Kimo Quance market a Franklin listing?

When a Franklin listing goes live, it goes everywhere buyers look in the first days, and every channel points back to one page for the house on my website. Here's the launch:

The photos lead with the front of the house, because that's what the MLS requires and what buyers expect.

Should you take a cash offer or list your Franklin home?

It depends on what matters more to you, speed and certainty or the highest net. I'll price out three options side by side before you decide: a cash offer, an as-is sale and a full listing. You see what each one costs and what each one nets you.

I can bring you cash offers on your property. Every fee is shared with you before you accept one, and you're never obligated to take it. If the full listing nets you meaningfully more, I'll show you that too. My cash offers page explains how it works, and if you're on a deadline, read how to sell a Franklin home fast. Selling a home you inherited? I wrote about selling an inherited home in Franklin too.

Can an assumable loan help sell a Franklin home?

It can. If you have a VA or FHA loan, a buyer may be able to take over your existing loan at your rate, and in a market with 5.48 months of single-family supply that can set your house apart from the one down the street. I'll check whether your loan qualifies and put it front and center in the marketing. My guide to selling a home with an assumable loan walks through it.

How does Kimo Quance negotiate offers on a Franklin home?

I negotiate from the evidence. I'm a Certified Negotiation Expert, and the comps behind your price are the same ones I put in front of a buyer's agent who wants a lower number.

When offers come in, I lay them out side by side, with each one's price, financing, contingencies, closing date and what you'd net. After you accept, I stay on the inspection and appraisal, the two places a Franklin deal most often gets renegotiated. If the appraisal comes in low, I go back to the comps and challenge it where the sales support it.

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.

What should you ask any Franklin listing agent before you sign?

Ask every listing agent you interview the same five questions, me included, and hire the one whose answers you can check.

1. "Show me the closed sales you priced from." You want the list, from your own subdivision first.
2. "Is my house inside Franklin city limits, and which school district is it zoned for?"
3. "What happens in the first week?" Photos, pricing, the launch and when you'll hear from them.
4. "What would I net with a cash offer, an as-is sale and a full listing?"
5. "Who will I actually be talking to after I sign?"

My track record, for when you're comparing: in real estate since 2013, more than 500 transactions, more than $500 million in career sales, 950-plus five-star reviews across my career, a Real Trends America's Best Ranked Realtor, Certified Negotiation Expert, four appearances on HGTV's House Hunters and Amazon best-selling author of SOLD. My office is at 231 Public Square, Suite 300, on the square in downtown Franklin.
