Age 21 and up.

DAVID PAINE landed in Nashville in 1976, fresh out of grad school with a MA in Architectural History, and began working with the Metro Historical Commission helping revitalize historic neighborhoods. He went from there to marketing, spending 25 years concepting, designing, and writing cool stuff for all sorts of clients – helping them identify their unique brands and promote their products and services. Eventually this lead to real estate – wrapping in-depth experience of the city, an ability to promote and sell, and a concern for people and community into a client-focused, house-positive real estate practice.
