Meredith Kendall
Realtor®, Agent Relations and Recruiting Director
In the summer of 2000 Meredith swore she wouldn’t go into real estate, 2 months later her very first buyer was moving into his new home. After 4 very successful years, God called her to hang up her license and start a grassroots nonprofit that empowered and equipped single mothers to find their God-given potential.
At the end of 2019, the nonprofit was merged with a local like minded organization which left Meredith contemplating what was next. Once again she swore it wasn’t going to be real estate.
Today she holds a license not only here in Tennessee but also in SW Florida. In 2020 she utilized the slower season to become e-PRO certified and a Pricing Strategy Advisor. Her continuing education also included classes on how to work with investors and investment properties.
She looks forward to helping you and your family find your next home or investment property.

Stephanie Yost
Realtor®
After many years of working in the service industry, I decided it was time to put my skills of dealing with people to better use, take charge of my own career and become a Realtor®. This gave me control of my time and allowed my husband and I to grow our family. In 2018, our beautiful daughter, Anna, was born. What a blessing it was to help my in-laws buy a home right down the road from us as my first transaction so they could be more involved with our lives! Now I have the joy of helping others improve their lives as well by moving closer to family, friends, work, or buy a bigger home in order to make room for family, home offices or space for entertaining. Others are ready to downsize or move on to life’s next adventure. Whatever the reason, I’m here to help!
I recognize the magnitude of a real estate transaction and the effect it has on our lives, therefore I strive to do everything with excellence, from preparing houses to sell, to writing contracts, to communicating with clients. I’m very detail oriented and excellent at problem solving. Let me work on your behalf to help you achieve your unique goals!
Get the most with Stephanie Yost- Integrity, Communication, Excellence!
