About Us
Dean & Karen Brown
A knack for marketing, a devotion to serving others, an outstanding work ethic and a longtime passion for education are the hallmarks of Dean & Karen’s real estate career. Dean and Karen have earned themselves a spot among the top 1% of REALTORS® nationwide and continues to be in the top .01% in their County year after year. Dean & Karen sold 36 homes in 2021, a figure approximately 4 times that of the average Tennessee agent. “I want to continue to serve our clients and be the best I can be for them,” Dean says.
As early as his first days in the business and now, Dean, a Listings Specialist, applies groundbreaking techniques to real estate marketing and business development.
“I’ve always been an early adopter, I pour myself into my career and do as much education and research as I can in order to stand out,” says Dean, who at the time already held both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree. “I’ve done things differently than other agents for a long time, marketing from the ground up and staying ahead of the curve.”
As other agents grow frustrated with the surge of technology, I embrace it, educate myself regularly and implement what I learn. I thrive on giving my clients what, unfortunately, most fail to. I run my business like a business, not a part-time hobby.”
Their multiple designations and their consultative approach to client relations prove that, if there’s something to learn, Dean will embrace it. Fortunately, they don’t keep their education to themselves; “We are on collaborative calls with hundreds of agents around the country,” Dean says, explaining that they mastermind with fellow Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local providers (ELPs) on a regular basis. After all, he says. “It’s more important now than ever for buyers and sellers to hire experienced, trained agents.” “The more every agent knows, the better off every client and agent will be,” Karen says. “And the better job each agent does with marketing and selling homes, the better we all do.”
Dean places such great importance on marketing that he has two full-time staff members dedicated to marketing, to include a digital marketer and a marketing specialist. They also hire specialists that helps them optimize the various Social Media platforms to target market to the masses. “I market my homes as if every home is a million dollar listing or more,” says Dean, noting that every house gets the full package, whether priced at $500,000 or $1 million plus. Before a home is listed, Dean pays for a staging consultation and provides a digital marketing platform that continues to be refined. “Our digital marketing gets the maximum exposure with SEO techniques and enhanced online placements. We’re also doing target marketing and text-message marketing. We create Specific Landing Pages to attract buyers in a unique manner.” From professional photography, videography and drone photography; the team then produces property-specific websites and four-page color brochures.
All of this effort helps them achieve their primary goal – happy clients. “I love being able to educate clients and to help people,” Karen says. “It’s about the person, not the money. Around our office we say, ‘People before things,’ and we know that as long as we’re taking great care of people, the best will come.” Having sold more than 600 homes, Dean & Karen’s vast experience enables them to be proactive, not reactive, during each transaction. “I’ve been in this business more than 17 years and closed so many deals that I know what can go wrong!” Karen says with a self-deprecating laugh. She and her team create the best possible outcomes with the utmost professionalism. Clients notice, telling Karen that the experience of working with her is smoother and more enjoyable than they expected. As a result, clients spread the word about Brown & Brown Realty as can be seen from the mass amount of reviews they have online.

THE REAL MARK MCCOY Home BuyerBrown and Brown Realty is the best realty firm around middle Tennessee! They helped us buy our home in 2019 which was a flawless experience and they helped us sell the same home in 2021. Finding people who actually care is hard these days, especially in this crazy market. They focus on building a relationship rather than chasing the dollars which turns out, is more fruitful in the long run for both parties! Our recent experience on selling our home was an eye-opener and so happy Dean and Karen were on our side when doing so. With their relationship within the Dave Ramsey network, we knew we were in good hands with both buying and selling our home.
MICHAEL AND LAUREN COOK Home BuyersDean Brown was our selling agent and he was wonderful. We wanted a realtor that would make themselves available for all of the showings and he was happy to do that for us. He is very knowledgeable and always communicated with us about everything. He made our selling experience easy and pleasant
HAROLD AND SANDRA CHAPMAN Home SellersKaren and Dean just helped us buy our first home in Tennessee. We've mainly worked with Karen, although Dean helped out a lot. She is dedicated, sweet, honest, helpful... In other words she is awesome! Definitely recommending Karen and Dean for those who are looking into the Central Tennessee area!
ANDREI AND ADELINA ROATA Home BuyersWOW! We bought our first home with the Karen and Dean this year. Yes you read that right, this crazy 2020! They were quick, safe, upfront and took great care of us. They were so great I flat out said that I am buying my house with them and nobody else. I was willing to wait because that's how much care and customer service my family and I felt from them. The process went smooth and turned out miraculous in so many ways. I recommend my friends to everyone in this area! Go and enjoy the process that I did and you won't regret it.
DAVE GIBBS Home BuyerDean and Karen are the best agents bar'none! They not only helped us sell our home, we also purchased our new home during the Covid-19 pandemic. The strategy, marketing and pricing on the house were spot on! They were wonderful! I would say that if you don't hire them, you are missing out. I can't imagine a more knowledgeable and professional group of agents.
