of values and the exemplary leadership of figures like Danny Anderson and Bob Parks. “It was about being where ethics, excellence, and personal growth were at the forefront,” she says, reflecting on her move. Marabeth distinguishes herself through her professional achievements as well as her commitment to community service. She leverages her skills and enthusiasm to aid various local charities, notably with Habitat for Humanity and Feed America First. Her heartfelt participation in Feed America First and Make a Wish shows her compassion and eagerness to give back to the community. Alongside her team, Marabeth has worked with Shower Up, dedicating time and resources to assist Nashville’s homeless. The LCT Team extends its compassion to animal welfare through working with the Pet Community Center and Snooty Giggles. Additionally, Marabeth’s commitment to helping children is evident in her involvement with Charley’s Foundation at Rumble on the Row, where she has donated her musical talents. Her dedication to music and charity also sees her performing at events supporting women with Endometriosis, utilizing her musical abilities and time to uplift and support these causes. For those just starting in real estate, Marabeth Poole is a prime example of what you can achieve with hard work and a strong sense of community. Her advice to new agents is practical and down-to-earth: “Set clear boundaries for yourself, be ready to take on the tough tasks, and always work with people who are the best at what they do.” She believes that dedication, careful planning, and genuine relationships are key to a successful career. Marabeth’s own career shows that focusing on these fundamentals not only helps you succeed professionally but also plays a part in enhancing the community.
Marabeth Poole is someone who lives for her passions. She describes herself as fun, passionate, and adventurous, a combination that has led her down some exciting paths. Her adventurous streak is evident in her personal accomplishments, such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and in her dynamic career path, which includes stints as a model and a stuntwoman in Hollywood. These roles demanded not just physical prowess but also the boldness to take risks. Her enthusiasm doesn’t stop at her own pursuits; it extends to her community involvement as well, where she’s an active organizer of charity events. This zest for life and dedication to her passions is Marabeth’s driving force. “I live for what I love,” she says, and this philosophy is the cornerstone of both her personal and professional life. Marabeth Poole’s crystal ball for real estate in Nashville is optimistic, grounded in the city’s resilience and the persistent demand for homes. “Trust in yourself and the journey,” she advises those contemplating the leap into real estate or any new venture. With inventory challenges ongoing, she’s particularly excited about the luxury lots at Arrington Woods that she’ll be representing, another feather in her cap of premium listings. Marabeth Poole’s work is fundamentally driven by her dedication to clients and the places they call home. Her story is a reminder that professional accomplishments and community contributions are not mutually exclusive; rather, they mutually reinforce each other. For Marabeth, real estate is more than her profession—it’s a way to contribute to the fabric of our community.
