Bart and Tina Cates, REALTORS with Keller Williams Premier Partners

Tina and Bart Cates help Middle Tennessee homeowners and buyers plan their next move, from Hendersonville and Gallatin to Goodlettsville and the Old Hickory Lake corridor. We’re advisors first and agents second: we’ll tell you what we see in the market, what it means for your situation, and what we’d do in your shoes, even when that means waiting.

Whether you’re selling, buying, relocating to Tennessee, or just curious what your home is worth, you don’t need a plan to call. You just need a next step.

Our story

Tina and Bart are a husband-and-wife team serving all of Middle Tennessee, with a family-first approach. We got into real estate because we enjoy helping people make good decisions, not just closing deals. We work with first-time buyers, sellers ready to move on, and families relocating to or from Middle Tennessee, and we’ll be candid with you, even when that means advising patience.

“Tina and Bart exist to serve our community.” We serve clients from first-time buyers to luxury buyers, with the aim of helping families leave a legacy for their children.

Tina brings 26 years of real estate experience and deep local market knowledge. She is the team’s principal broker and holds both Tennessee and Kentucky licenses.

Bart became a licensed REALTOR® in 2025 after a career in operations and business ownership. Since 2000 he has managed a high-volume Goodlettsville restaurant with a team of up to 40, and since 2004 he has run his own company. He holds degrees in mathematics and computer science, and business administration, from Middle Tennessee State University, plus a master’s in pastoral counseling. He brings a numbers-driven approach and a listener’s patience to every client conversation.

“Tina Cates seamlessly supported me with kindness, transparency, and professionalism in the sale of my home within a week of being listed. Her guidance positioned me well with locating a new home that serves all my needs. She is an asset to anyone who is fortunate enough to work with her.”
