On today's episode, Micheal is again joined by Chris Grimes, who attended Barney Fletcher's School of Real Estate in Atlanta and worked alongside his mother, a Realtor in Metro Atlanta.

In 2022, Chris and partners John Grimes and Joey Skibbie left RE/MAX Collection to form their own team. They affiliated with Corcoran Reverie. Aside from his real estate pursuits, Chris is actively involved in community service, supporting organizations like Greater Nashville Realtors, Nashville's Symphony Ball, Habitat for Humanity, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and the Antiques Garden Show of Nashville.
