Dedicated to the service industry of helping others find their dream home.
“A city girl living in a country world” best describes Debbie Gatewood. Born and raised in a south suburb of Chicago, Illinois, Debbie moved to middle Tennessee in 2015. While playing collegiate level volleyball at Saint Xavier University, Debbie earned her undergraduate degree in History Education. She began a 20 year teaching career and completed her Master’s Degree in Educational Administration. During that time she also booked and promoted a country music band landing opening acts in front of Nashville’s hottest artists.
Drawn to the beautiful scenery and much warmer climate, Tennessee became her family’s next destination in 2015. The tiny house lifestyle eventually led to building a home in Murfreesboro with her husband and two daughters. The positive experience Debbie had with her agent convinced her to start her own business. With encouragement from friends and family, Debbie made the transition from education to real estate by becoming a REALTOR® in 2021.
It is no wonder Debbie became a Realtor®. Teachers make some of the best real estate agents! Helping clients is very similar to helping students. Like teaching, real estate is a communication and interaction centered profession. Debbie believes maintaining strong relationships with people is key to a successful career in and outside the classroom. The secret behind a real estate transaction is a lot like a lesson plan. Real estate agents must be highly organized and effectively communicate with their clients. Debbie’s skills from the classroom- good listener, problem solving, and multi-tasking-will benefit her in real estate. Debbie credits her background in education with helping her get two homes under contract within the first two months in the business.
It was an easy decision for Debbie to join Parks Real Estate Company in Smyrna, Tennessee. Parks is number one in the industry with a $6 billion sales volume in 2021. Debbie wanted to learn from the best in the industry. She is being trained by experienced Parks agents and brokers that follow the coveted Ninja Selling sales system developed by Larry Kendall and The Group, INC Real Estate.
At Parks, Debbie found her home as a REALTOR®, now let her find yours.

Your Local Real Estate Agent
Some people are very casual when it comes to signing papers that affect their finances for decades. But for those who recognize that small steps early in the game can affect major outcomes later, it's fortunate that there are professionals who dedicate themselves to learning about the process and local market conditions, and who can turn a nightmare of stress and confusion into a relatively painless experience (let's be honest).
I'm an educated professional with a few years of experience in this market, and I think I've seen almost every trick and turn of the industry already. I've also had intimate experience with properties in most of these neighborhoods, making me an invaluable person to talk to when it comes to relocation to or within this area. I'm confident that I can save you not only tens of thousands of dollars, but a great deal of time and emotional energy as well.
But I'm not simply a piece of hardware you can point at a house. I'm a human who laughs and smiles, and I'll take the time to find out what you really need most from me as a professional real estate agent. If you would like to know anything about my services, or if you'd like to hear about the local market from a human voice, please contact me at your convenience.
