Why I work the way I do
Four true stories behind how I work
Every agent says they care. These are the moments that decided how I actually do this job.
01 / For buyers: why I'll tell you no
Five acres can't fix a bad floor plan
My clients loved the land around a $595,000 house. The layout would have made it hard to sell in five years, and I told them so. I gave up a sale to keep them out of a bad one.
02 / Why you can trust my offers
The offer that beat three others
In 2021 a home my clients wanted already had three offers. I recommended $20,000 over asking, confident it would still appraise. The listing agent called the next day: her sellers were going with us.
03 / Why my contracts are airtight
“Up to $10,000” is not $10,000
Early in my career, two words in a contract meant my buyers brought about $800 to closing they shouldn't have owed. I've written every contract since as if that client were watching. It's part of why I put my promises in writing.
04 / Why I'm reachable
The agent who wouldn't leave Clarksville
I was a nail tech for 15 years when we moved to Tennessee. Our agent wouldn't show us homes outside Clarksville, and once we were under contract we could hardly reach her. I told my husband, I could do this, and I could do it better. That's why you'll always be able to reach me.
Buying a home
The R.E.A.L. framework
Most agents start by showing you houses. I start with a conversation, so you understand every step before you're asked to sign anything.
Ready
A consultation first, then pre-approval and our agreement, so you can act the day the right home appears.
Educated
Loans, down payments and every step explained, and what your budget really buys, before you fall for anything.
Aligned
You see fewer homes, and better ones. I build the search on what you told me and give you a straight opinion on every house.
Locked
An offer you understand, every deadline tracked, and a recommendation with every problem, all the way to closing.
Selling? The E.P.I.C. framework
Most agents list and wait. I don't.
The MLS only reaches buyers who are already searching. Every home I list gets four steps, so buyers who weren't looking yet still see it, and while it's on the market, I call you every Tuesday.
Equity
Three prices built on real evidence: recent sales, current competition, homes under contract and expired listings. I tell you which I'd choose, and you decide.
Presentation
More than 50 professionally edited photos, aerials, a floor plan, a highlight reel and twilight photos, planned around what buyers need to see first.
Impact
Zillow Showcase and weekly paid social media ads on every listing, so buyers who weren't searching yet still see your home.
Campaign
Coming Soon four to five days before it goes active, then a launch with an agent preview and open house, and a call from me every Tuesday.
The situation you are actually in
Different circumstances, different plans
The fundamentals do not change. The sequence, the timing and how much coordination it takes change completely. Start where you actually are.
01 / SELLING YOUR HOME
Three prices, full marketing on every listing, a call every Tuesday and freedom to cancel

02 / DOWNSIZING
Declutter, sell and move to a home that fits now, with a calm voice when it gets emotional

03 / SELLING A HOME DURING DIVORCE
A neutral agent who tells you both the same thing, in writing, all the way to closing

04 / WHAT YOUR HOME IS WORTH

What a Buyer's Market in Clarksville Means If You Have PCS Orders
In a buyer's market you have more homes to choose from and more room to negotiate. With PCS orders you also have a deadline, and the deadline can cost you that leverage. The fix is to plan around your report date, not to wait for a better price.

How to Read a Home Inspection Report in Clarksville Without Panicking
Almost every inspection report looks scary. That's normal. Read it for the big stuff (roof, foundation, heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, water getting in) and ignore the small stuff. A long list doesn't mean a bad house. A short list can still hide one expensive problem.

VA Loan Basics at Fort Campbell: What a Soldier Buying in Clarksville Needs to Know
A VA loan is a mortgage backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible service members, veterans and some surviving spouses. For eligible buyers it means $0 down and no monthly mortgage insurance (PMI). It's the loan most of my Fort Campbell buyers start with. It isn't the only option, and it's not always the right one.

Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Clarksville Without Two Mortgages
The biggest fear when you sell one home to buy another is getting stuck with two mortgages. Here's the order and the protections that prevent it.
Who I am
I'm Keri Gilles, a REALTOR® with Haus Realty & Management and part of the Don Martin Team, licensed in Tennessee and Kentucky since 2017. I've helped buyers and sellers close on 199 homes, 31 of them in the last 12 months, anywhere from $80,000 to $2.775 million.
What my clients notice first is that nothing gets skipped. I explain every step before you're asked to sign anything, I put my promises in writing, and I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. It's not about the sale for me. It's about what's best for you. Read more about me.
Where I work
Home base is Clarksville, including neighborhoods like Farmington, Wellington Fields, Hickory Wild, Sango and Wofford Estates. From there I cover Middle Tennessee county by county: Davidson County (Nashville), Rutherford County (Murfreesboro), Wilson County (Mt. Juliet), Sumner County, Williamson County, Robertson County (Springfield and Adams), Cheatham County (Ashland City and Pleasant View), Dickson County and Stewart County (Dover). Across the state line in Kentucky, I work in Christian County (Hopkinsville and Oak Grove), Trigg County, Todd County and Logan County.
Fort Campbell sits in the middle of all of it, and a lot of the people I help are moving here on orders. Knowing the towns on both sides of the Tennessee and Kentucky line means we can look at more than one place before you decide.
How I sell a home
Most homes get listed and left to the MLS. Mine get a plan. You choose from three prices built on real evidence. Your home gets more than 50 professionally edited photos, aerial shots, a floor plan, a highlight reel and twilight photos. Every listing gets Zillow Showcase and paid social media ads every week, so buyers who weren't looking yet still see it. It runs as Coming Soon four to five days before it goes active, and while it's on the market, I call you every Tuesday.
You can read the whole plan, step by step, in how I sell a home, or start with what your home is worth.
How I help you buy
Buying starts with a conversation, not a showing. I call it Mutual Permission to Reject: I explain how I work, ask you seven questions about what you really want, and either of us can say it isn't a fit. Then I explain loans, down payments and the whole process, so nothing surprises you later. I'd rather you ask twice than guess.
I work with first-time buyers, military families on PCS orders, buyers relocating from other states and buyers shopping $700,000 and up. Here's how I help you buy a home.
What my clients say
My clients have given me a 4.9-star rating across 52 Google reviews, 5.0 stars across 21 Zillow reviews, and 96% recommend me across 20 Facebook reviews. Here are a few, in their own words.
“Keri was so wonderful helping us find our home! Being first time buyers, we were so thankful for the way she explained every part of the process and answered every question we had.”
“Working with Keri when buying our home was a very smooth and successful experience. ... In my reviews, 5 stars is earned not given, Keri deserves 10!”
“My husband and I moved from Germany to the Clarksville area, and Keri was extremely accommodating and worked around any time constraints we had due to different time zones. She always answered my texts and calls promptly, and helped make this process extremely smooth.”
“Clear and effective communication with options, recommendations, and resources for us that were military friendly. Would 100% work with her again and recommend to anyone moving to middle Tennessee or Kentucky”
“We moved from a different state, and Keri did video walk throughs of homes (when we couldn't be there). We had countless questions, and she patiently answered or found answers to them all.”
“Keri helped us purchase our home and also re sell that same home years later. ... I would highly recommend her to anybody knowing that they would receive an honest and trustworthy experience.”
“I was a first-time home buyer and Keri made the process very easy and straight forward. She knows her stuff and takes care of her clients.”
“Keri is the best realtor we have ever had, and this was our third house we have purchased. ... She genuinely cares for her clients and always gives honest answers to questions and concerns.”
