Lunch, Learn & Grow: East Nashville

We follow a pretty simple format!

We start with open networking and order lunch. Then everyone gets a 60 second "elevator pitch" to educate the group on what they do, what sets them apart, and what kinds of customers they are looking for.

After that, it's more open networking and back to work!

Matthew Hansen (https://www.meetup.com/Greater-Nashville-Networking/members/108738112/) is an independent real estate agent with Benchmark Realty (http://www.matthewhansenhomes.com/). After experiencing the process of becoming a first time home buyer in 2011, I felt the desire to help others achieve their own American dream. This prompted me to acquire my real estate license and start on my journey of helping others achieve that dream! I look forward to helping clients in real estate by paying close attention to their individual wants and needs, in the home buying process."
