Meet J.D.
J.D. launched his career in real estate in 2015, building on a professional background of nine years in the Metro Nashville Police Department, K9 Division. J.D. left law enforcement in 2016 to support his wife’s career at Saint Thomas Hospital West and to help raise their three young children.
That same year, J.D. worked daily with a real estate agent to facilitate the family's successful home sale, new home purchase, and relocation across town to be closer to his wife’s workplace and great schools for the kids. During that endeavor, J.D. got a first-hand view of real estate, a career that could allow him to help other families experience home ownership in Nashville.
A University of Tennessee Knoxville graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, J.D. has always been fascinated by human connection and the countless decisions families arrive at to make life work. Today, J.D. leverages those interests with his ever-growing real estate knowledge, ardent people person skills, and cheerful charisma to advocate for his clients, whether they’re looking to relocate to Nashville from across America or just hoping to sell their current home and move up the street.

Happy Clients.
"We purchased our first home with JD as our REALTOR® and we went in knowing nothing about the process. JD was wonderful at walking us through the process and helping us every step of the way! We found our house and had to close in less than 30 days. JD went above and beyond to make sure we could close on time and he made the process very easy. Even when running into problems with inspection findings, he offered advice and we made it through without any issues. JD always made himself available when we had questions and always responded quickly. JD was wonderful to work with and we will definitely be giving him a call when it is time to move again!"

"I am so grateful for the level of service we received from JD! He was so patient with me and my husband as we struggled through our indecisiveness on finding the right home. He was so trustworthy, he listened to our concerns, and genuinely had our best interest. He displayed a world of knowledge while answering our questions and provided a lot of information and resources for us to use. He really made the home buying process easy and stress free for us. I would use him a million times over!"

I could not ask for anyone better to help us find a home. JD, by far, surpassed expectations. His personality and knowledge in the field keeps him a step above the rest. I highly recommend JD to anyone with interest in finding a new home. And in that process, you’ll gain a friend for life. Thank you for everything JD & God Bless!!!
James R.
"I worked with JD to find my first home. During a six month process, JD remained patient and determined, answering questions and attending packed open houses at times when we knew there was little hope that we would actually get the property. He listened to what I wanted in my home and ultimately we were able to find a great first home! I recommend him to each person in the market and I will seek him out again when it is time for me to upgrade! "

"J.D. was my REALTOR® for my second home purchase. He made the process smooth and painless for me. We had a few hiccups with the sellers, however J.D. listened to my expectations and made them happen. He always made himself available and made me feel like I was his only client at the time and my case was a priority to him. I would highly recommend J.D. if you are looking for a REALTOR®."
Kim B.
"A guy who takes his job seriously and is very attentive to his clients. JD listens to what you want and what you need and will work very hard to make the buying/selling experience a great one. If you’re looking for an honest agent who wants nothing but the best for you, JD is your guy."
Spencer H.
"I lucked out on obtaining J.D. Young as a REALTOR® to sell my home. He came highly recommended from a few friends who either had used him or had a friend use him to sell or purchase a home. He made my experience very comfortable from beginning to end. I never felt haggled. AND my house was under contract in 1 day after listing! That was a huge bonus! He is very knowledgeable of the market and WILL WORK FOR YOU. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND J.D. Young as your next REALTOR®!!! You will not be disappointed and will gain a great friend!"
Michelle C.
"JD was a huge part of our family's success of buying and selling a home. He's very responsive and extremely professional. There were parts of the process that made us nervous, and he made us feel at ease and guided us through the process seamlessly. Any hurdles we encountered were easily navigated with JD's experience and relationships around the business. He knows when to jump in, but also understands when to step back. While we can say he helped us find our dream home; if we ever need a REALTOR®, we'll definitely be calling JD."
Brett C.
"We couldn’t have asked for a better REALTOR® than JD. He made the whole process of buying a house easy and painless. JD was always professional and is very knowledgeable. He was always available for any questions (and we had a lot), last minute showings, etc. We would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!"
