Kara McCormick
REALTOR®
Meet Kara
A native New Yorker, Kara brings an east coast zeal to the Nashville real estate world and thrives in this fast-paced and often cutthroat market. Kara got her first taste of real estate working for her father, a real estate attorney in New York. Kara then earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Rhode Island and moved to Boston shortly after. While in Boston, Kara worked for a billion-dollar construction company on their luxury retail and restaurant projects. One of her projects was the Cheesecake Factory, right here in Franklin, Tennessee.
Having lived in several cities, Kara has found her forever home in Nashville. A transplant herself, there is no one who better understands the stress of relocating to a new city, and Kara finds true joy in helping transplants fall in love with Nashville and find their perfect home here.
Outside of real estate, Kara spends her time volunteering as President of the Nashville Chi Omega Alumni Chapter, and as a foster mom for a dog rescue, Critter Cavalry, here in Nashville. In addition to her own four resident rescue pups, Kara has fostered 30 homeless dogs over the course of three years.

“Patricia Straus definitely reduced the stress of buying and selling a home. She is very professional and personable at the same time. I am the type of person who wants answers immediately. Patti was patient with me and stayed on top of everything. The marketing of my home was top notch and my home sold very quickly. I can’t thank Patti enough!“
Linda - Nashville, TN
“Wouldn’t sell or buy another house without Patti and her team in our corner. Their knowledge of not only real estate but of construction, building codes, legal issues, negotiations and the other agents in the area make them unbeatable. Felt like we had 20 people working on our behalf the entire time … you will too.”
