On this episode of The Real Estate Mailbag, we’re joined by two of Nashville’s top commercial real estate brokers, both principals of boutique, locally owned firms—not the "big-box" brokerages.

While residential and commercial real estate agents in Tennessee hold the same license, the similarities often end there. As Tyler Cauble puts it:

"Yes, [residential and commercial brokers] have the same license, but I like to use the metaphor that it’s like hiring a divorce attorney to represent you on an operating agreement for a business."

Our guests provide insightful breakdowns of the differences between residential and commercial real estate—a must-know for anyone considering a career in the industry. They also offer an insider’s perspective on the current state of Nashville’s commercial market, covering key subsectors like retail, office, multifamily, and industrial real estate.

Both of our guests are leaders and educators in the field:

• Tyler Cauble is the Founder and President of The Cauble Group, specializing in commercial brokerage and development.
• Brian Truman is a Commercial Real Estate Broker with SVN Accel, focusing on multifamily investment sales.

If you’re curious about the commercial side of real estate, this is a must-listen episode of The Real Estate Mailbag. In the words of Brian Truman:

"Dive into education—get yourself educated as quickly and as fast as you can."

We guarantee you’ll come away smarter, sharper, and more informed after this conversation with two of Nashville’s most experienced commercial brokers.

“If real estate is your profession, politics is your business.” – Richard Courtney

And if that’s not reason enough to tune in, they’ve got plenty of great stories and some seriously good jokes. Try not to laugh—we dare you!

“It’s called title insurance but it acts more like a guarantee. It guarantees that when you buy a property, you are not going to have a problem; but if you do have a problem, there’s going to be a Fortune 500 company behind you to help resolve the problem.” — Brandon Miller, Wagon Wheel Co-Founder/Attorney
