David Lapsley · REALTOR®, ABR, SRS · Compass, Nashville
Get to know David
Passionate. Knowledgeable. Professional.
David Lapsley grew up on a ranch in Oregon and spent the better part of his life touring the globe as a professional guitarist for signed artists — a career built on performing perfectly under high pressure and protecting the principal. He brings that same “bus-call” punctuality to real estate.
A committed Middle Tennessee resident for 30 years, David is one of the few agents who can move seamlessly from a luxury closing in Forest Hills to a complex land contract for a 100-acre farm. He practices what he preaches — owning and managing a portfolio of rental properties and a farm in Hickman County, so when he talks about the value of Tennessee soil, he speaks from experience.
Whether it’s a first home or a cattle ranch, David’s straight-to-the-point honesty helps clients build wealth for their family’s posterity — because he’s done it for his own wife and daughter.
