Our Story
In 2000, Matt Widdows, founder of HomeSmart, recognized something revolutionary: the real estate industry was falling behind. Agents were stuck using outdated systems that didn’t meet their modern needs, while clients had moved online, demanding fast answers and instant communication. Matt had a bold idea to change that by combining traditional real estate principles with cutting-edge technology. This vision gave rise to HomeSmart’s “low-fee, high-value” brokerage model—a game-changer that has redefined the industry ever since.
This year, that same vision found its way to Nashville, thanks to Ron Chapman. In September, Ron opened the doors to HomeSmart Living Realty in the heart of Tennessee, bringing innovation, opportunity, and a refreshing new approach to local agents and their clients. With his deep knowledge of the real estate market and passion for helping others succeed, Ron has quickly made HomeSmart Living Realty a rising force in the vibrant Nashville area.
At HomeSmart Living Realty, we’re proud to continue Matt’s legacy while infusing it with the spirit of Music City. Our “low-fee, high-value” model isn’t just a concept—it’s a promise. While anyone can offer low fees, it’s the way we consistently deliver unmatched value that sets us apart. Our advanced technology, robust support systems, and agent-first approach empower real estate professionals to thrive and grow their careers.
Ron Chapman and the Nashville team are building more than a brokerage; they’re building a community. At HomeSmart Living Realty, agents are more than colleagues—they’re family. Whether you’re buying, selling, or looking to grow your career, our focus is always on delivering exceptional experiences with a personal touch.
