About The Realty Firm in Cookeville, TN
The Realty Firm was founded in 2012 by Kimberly Maynord-Means, who started her real estate career in 2003 and built the company from scratch into the Upper Cumberland's leading independent brokerage. With offices in Cookeville, Livingston, Gainesboro, and Byrdstown, the firm covers the full Upper Cumberland region while maintaining the locally owned, non-franchise identity that differentiates it from the national real estate brands operating in the same markets.
The brokerage handles residential homes, land and farms, investment properties, and commercial real estate. A 4.8-star Birdeye rating from 132 reviews and an A+ BBB rating reflect a consistent track record of client satisfaction across transaction types and price points. Agents at The Realty Firm are known for fast execution, with transactions closing within 24 hours of listing cited as a capability, alongside the regional knowledge that comes from focusing exclusively on the Upper Cumberland market.
For buyers and sellers in Putnam County, working with The Realty Firm means working with an independently owned company whose agents have genuine expertise in local neighborhoods, local pricing trends, and the specific dynamics of Upper Cumberland real estate.
