ianne Christian and son, Matt Daniel, have been working together since 2002 when Matt joined Dianne on her existing real estate team. After ten years working with a larger franchised agency, they decided to establish Daniel–Christian Real Estate – a boutique real estate company located here in Franklin. Dianne is a sixth generation native growing up in Franklin and Williamson County. Matt is a seventh generation native of Franklin, now raising his two sons with his wife, Courtney, here in Williamson County. “I know that makes us both unicorns,” laughs Dianne. “But the longevity and family ties in this area make us the ideal duo to help new families moving to the area and guiding those who live here already, but are looking for their next great Williamson County home.”
space in several different historic properties in downtown Franklin. They recently sold their office building on 2nd Avenue South and now have an office at E-Spaces at 1st Avenue and East Main Street, as well as work from their home offices. “Since Covid, most things related to real estate have changed. We purchased our 2nd Avenue location in January 2020, just a few weeks before Covid hit. But with the changing times and overall attitudes of people needing a brick-and-mortar location, we have seen a significant number of agents who enjoy and even prefer working from their home office,” Matt says. “We decided to test this theory by listing the office location for sale. Thankfully, it was a successful sale to a buyer who wants to convert the property back to a residence. We are thankful for that,” he concludes. “We are in the people business,” Dianne says. And they firmly believe it is their job to provide the most information possible helping a buyer make an informed decision regarding a purchase. On the other hand, they also work diligently with a seller making the sale of their home, whether moving up or downsizing, as easy as possible and with the least amount of stress.
“Franklin has changed from a sleepy little country town in the sixties and seventies to what it is today – very much an ‘it’ place to live,” says Dianne. “It has been a true evolution and we have witnessed it and lived it. I could never have imagined this when I was just a girl in high school, years ago at Franklin High School!” With the growth, of course, the real estate market has seen much change, too. Primarily a healthy market here, things like low inventory, interest rates and rising home values, can make the job of any realtor a challenge. Dianne and Matt continue to face those challenges head on and provide experience, knowledge and expertise that comes from their life here. They are true locals who have no trouble “selling” Franklin and Williamson County to prospective homebuyers. For many years, Daniel-Christian Real Estate has had a physical office
With a combined over fifty years of real estate experience, Dianne and Matt know that they are uniquely able to provide the expertise, experience and knowledge both of this market and the area in general. Add to that, their philosophy of caring about and working with clients to help them make the best real estate decision – and you have one dynamic duo!
