Brandon C Knox
What's the craziest thing you've seen or done in real estate?
I once sold a $3.6 million dollar home that was purchased—cash—for a dog. The buyer had just come off a divorce settlement worth several hundred million, arrived with her dog chauffeured in one car, and staff in another. She then gutted and redid the house, even though it was already a brand-new luxury build. The dog lived better than most CEOs.
What's the favorite place you've traveled and why?
The Amalfi Coast. There’s something about the way the cliffs meet the sea, the way the food and wine taste like they were crafted specifically for that exact sunset, and it was deeply romantic. It’s one of those places that makes you rethink what “living well” really means.
What's the best weekend getaway in Tennessee?
The Smoky Mountains. Whether it’s a quiet cabin with a glass of bourbon or a hike that clears your head, it’s nature with a touch of grandeur, exactly how I like my weekends.
What are your favorite nashville restaruants?
Jeff Ruby’s for the showmanship, Bob’s for the perfect old-school steakhouse vibe, and Bourbon Steak when I want the skyline with my filet. Each has its own personality, and I appreciate a place that knows exactly what it is.
Which nashville neighborhoods have your heart?
Oak Hill and Forest Hills, especially near Radnor Lake. Driving Granny White Pike between Battery Lane and Old Hickory Blvd feels like stepping into a moving painting... trees, hills, wildlife, all within striking distance of the city. And then there’s Leiper’s Fork… it’s impossible to drive through without instantly smiling.
What's the one home feature that instantly wins you over?
A killer home gym and a spa-level primary suite bath. Add a walk-in bar and a wine room, and you’ve officially made me weak.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SANDWICH?
I’d never disrespect a sandwich by choosing just one. But if pressed: Nashville hot chicken with sauce and pickles or a steak sandwich with horseradish that hits you just enough to remind you you’re alive.
YOU'RE SO NASHVILLE IF:
You wear cowboy boots with a tailored suit, catch the Preds game, and then wind up downtown listening to live music, all in the same night. It’s a city where you can blend grit, glamour, and guitar strings without missing a beat.
