Now is a fascinating time for the real estate industry. Thanks to an uptick in interest rates, the market is going through a period of significant change. This is why, more than ever, you need to make sure you have the services of an expert and trustworthy realtor to help you get the best deal possible on your new home.
Matt Kirkegaard, a leading light of the Nashville property market and founder of award-winning luxury property firm Movement Property Group, makes purchasing property in one of the most exciting real estate markets in the United States a simple and transparent process.
Music Man
Before Kirkegaard carved out a reputation as a successful real estate agent, he was a young man with a dream — to become a prominent member of Nashville’s world-renowned music scene. So, in 2007, with nothing but hope and significant talent in his pockets, the ambitious young troubadour packed his bags and headed straight to Music City.
After successfully navigating his way into the music industry and finding himself in the middle of a budding music career, Kirkegaard found himself having to pivot. Due to a substantial financial crisis caused by a family member’s unethical choices, Kirkegaard and his wife found themselves homeless and facing significant loss.
In the time he had spent in Nashville, Kirkegaard grew to adore the energy of the nightlife, the people, and, of course, the music that filled the air and made the city famous. He was determined to stay and recover from the hardship of his current situation. Kirkegaard was attracted to real estate, seeking a way out of his less-than-ideal situation, where his charisma and way with people would allow him to shine.
And shine, he did. Kirkegaard’s love of his new hometown was infectious, and his enthusiasm for the region’s rich culture not only helped persuade buyers to settle in Nashville but also raised awareness of local businesses.
“As realtors, I think it’s important to intentionally support the community you are serving by not only getting the right people into homes but by supporting the businesses, bars, cafes, and restaurants that add to the culture of the city!” said Kirkegaard.
Rate Busters
These days the property market in Nashville is one to watch, and relators all over the country regard the town with envy. But the rise in interest rates can be off-putting for potential buyers.
However, Movement Property Group, led by Kirkegaard, maintains its spot at the top of Nashville’s market, one bursting with culture that is as appealing to young artists as it is to families and first-time buyers.
“Our team at MPG can beat that 7% rate, so don’t let interest keep you from getting into the market. Buying can still be affordable, and with less competition, there’s a lot of opportunity. Plus, Nashville was just ranked as the number one real estate market to watch for the third year running,” said Kirkegaard. “We’re still booming, and home values continue to appreciate, so now is a great time to jump in!”
Community Care
As you can guess, Kirkegaard is not just about the bottom line. His passion for Nashville goes a lot further than simple commercial potential, he is also passionate about giving back to the community. In order to put his money where his mouth is, the property mogul established the LiftUp Initiative, a charity dedicated to helping out Nashville residents struggling to make ends meet.
Funded by donating a percentage of the profits made on each and every sale at MPG, the LiftUp Initiative ensures that members of the Nashville community experiencing hard times receive mortgage and rental assistance.
“As part of the program, 10% of net profits go directly to the fund and are used to provide rent relief and mortgage payment assistance for families and individuals who have been affected by unfortunate circumstances out of their control,” explained Kirkegaard.
“When you work with us, it’s more than just a real estate transaction. You’re a part of building up the community and neighborhood you call home.”
