Ciera Anglin, Realtor®

Real estate has been a dream of mine since I was 10 years old, and I’m so grateful to be living it out every day. After graduating from Tennessee Tech University in 2022 with a degree in marketing, I finally took the leap and got my real estate license—and I haven’t looked back since.

In my first year alone, I had the opportunity to help 28 families buy homes, with a total sales volume of $9.7 million. But more than the numbers, what means the most to me is the trust my clients place in me. I know firsthand how stressful and emotional the process can be—when I bought my first home, I just wanted someone I could count on to walk me through it, step by step. That’s the kind of agent I strive to be every single day.

I proudly serve a 65-mile radius from Cookeville, TN, and especially love working with out-of-state buyers, first-time homebuyers, and anyone looking to upgrade or downsize. Whether you're moving across the country or just across town, I’m here to make the process clear, comfortable, and even enjoyable.

My goal is simple: to make sure you feel confident and cared for at every turn. If you're looking for someone who will communicate openly, guide you with patience, and treat your home journey like it’s their own—you’ve come to the right place.

Fun Facts:

- As I mentioned, it had been my dream to do real estate since I was 10 years old. Since 10 years old, I have found every home each of my immediate family members has bought or rented.

- I have 2 dogs, Ava and Theo, and 2 cats, Weebo and Augie

- I, along with my boyfriend, bought and renovated a camper that we lived in for 2.5 years before purchasing our very first home. It is what I consider to be my first flip, lol!

My passion is working with people and witnessing their happiness. I have dedicated myself to a purposeful career in real estate. I want to help individuals find a place they can truly call home, where they can endure memories that stems from the cherished experiences my own family has given me.

For 11 years, I honed my interpersonal and counseling skills while working with the esteemed Christian Counseling Service, Spiritual Care Consultants. This rewarding tenure allowed me to meet an array of remarkable individuals and cultivate meaningful connections, further reinforcing my desire to positively impact the lives of others through the avenue of homeownership.

Having seen my children through their formative years and into their independent lives, I knew it was the opportune time to transform my aspiration into a reality. Embracing my calling, I embarked on a fulfilling journey in real estate, where my goal is to deliver exceptional service, driven by empathy, integrity, and a genuine commitment to understanding the unique needs of my clients.

Each day, I am inspired to provide unwavering support and guidance to those seeking a place they can call their own, where they can create lasting memories, much like the treasured ones my family has gifted me. The privilege of being a part of my client's personal and life-changing decisions is both humbling and gratifying.
