Our staff

There’s nothing I enjoy more than making that call to a buyer or seller and saying “SOLD!” after successfully guiding them through every step of the negotiation process. With over 20 years of experience as a REALTOR, I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. My husband, David, has also dedicated over 20 years of service as a Lieutenant with the Sheriff’s Department, and together we share a strong passion for helping others. Family means everything to us, and we’re incredibly proud grandparents to Charlie and Willow, who bring so much joy to our lives. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, I’d love the opportunity to put my experience and dedication to work for you. Give me a call—I’m HERE to help every step of the way!

Hey, My name is Dakota Langdon and I am a proud native of the Upper Cumberland, born and raised in Cookeville. I attended Tennessee Tech University, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, Class of 2018. I began my career in Real Estate right after high school, after spending several years working with local investors in the area and have developed my passion since. In addition to helping clients buy and sell traditional real estate, I also offer Full Service Property Management to investors and owners alike, while acting as an REO Agent in addition. So if you are looking to invest in Real Estate and want a Realtor that can both sell and manage the daily activities of your property, I would love to have the opportunity to speak with you!

Hello! I’m Kathy, thanks for stopping by my website. I believe in treating folks like I want to be treated which means giving exceptional customer service and personal attention to each and every client that I assist in buying and selling real estate in the Upper Cumberland Region. Being born and raised in Cookeville, I am deeply involved in my community, I serve as a chamber ambassador for the Cookeville Area-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Leadership Putnam alumni. I like to refer to myself as a community cheerleader, I love showing off our area. I tell folks who are looking to relocate to this area, “If you are looking for a big urban area and all those trappings then the Upper Cumberland may not be for you. However, if you are looking to hike, bike, chase waterfalls, boat and enjoy all the nature has to offer, then you will feel right at home here!” My husband Tim and I are the parents of two sons, Tyler and Tanner, and a daughter in-law, Anna and a shih tzu named Ollie. Tim owns and operates Dunn’s Car Care & Tire Center along with his two brothers. Tanner is an ICU nurse at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Tyler and Anna own and operate Soul Craft coffee here in Cookeville and Anna is also a local REALTOR. Tim and I enjoy spending time with our dog, Ollie, along with family and friends. You also might find us out boating on Center Hill Lake, camping or riding around enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

We came to Cookeville from Louisville, Kentucky in 1981 when my parents purchased the local Ford dealership. My dad sold cars and my mom started selling real estate so everything was always “For Sale”. When we first moved here, I wanted to move back to Kentucky so bad but here I am 41 years later and you couldn’t force me to leave this area. I graduated Cookeville High in 1986 and TTU in 1991. My husband Scott and I have a daughter that teaches pre- elementary special education, our son-in-law works for the City of Cookeville and we have two grandchildren Blaine & Reese. After many years in banking, construction and auto business, I decided to switch careers and went into real estate in 2007. I obtained by Broker’s license in 2021. I’m very active with the local board serving on Board of Directors and a continuing education instructor. I’m also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, TN Association of Realtors and National Association of Realtors. I volunteer with Food to the Rescue, American Cancer Society, Putnam Habitat for Humanity and Alzheimer Association. In our spare time we support our kids and grandchildren rodeoing and road trips on a Harley. If you catch me at home, I enjoy cooking and being on our farm.
