Nashville Market Expertise
A Mortgage Broker Ready for Nashville's Pace
Nashville has transformed into one of America's most sought-after real estate markets. Corporate relocations, a booming healthcare and tech sector, and consistent population growth have driven prices up and kept inventory tight — especially in desirable neighborhoods like Germantown, East Nashville, and the suburbs of Brentwood and Franklin.
Kristal Branscome is licensed in Tennessee and brings the same thoroughness to Nashville buyers that she's delivered across 10 states. Whether you're a first-time buyer using THDA assistance, a veteran using your VA benefit, a self-employed buyer who needs a bank statement loan, or an investor looking at DSCR financing for a Nashville rental — Kristal has the programs and the experience to get you to closing.
As a broker with 200+ lending partners, Kristal isn't tied to one institution's products. She shops your loan to find the most competitive rate and program for your specific situation.
Down Payment Assistance
Nashville Down Payment Assistance Programs
Several programs can help Nashville-area buyers reduce the upfront cost of homeownership.
Tennessee Housing Development Agency's flagship program offers a 30-year fixed mortgage with a below-market rate and optional down payment assistance for eligible buyers statewide.
Adds a second mortgage of up to 5% of the purchase price for down payment and closing costs — forgivable after 30 years for eligible buyers.
Metro Nashville and Davidson County periodically offer local DPA programs for buyers purchasing within city limits. Kristal stays current on available programs.
Eligible veterans and active-duty military can purchase in Nashville with no down payment, no PMI, and competitive rates.
