Jack Costigan Featured in Nashville Voyager: My Journey Building a Modern Real Estate Business in Nashville
I’m excited to share that I was recently featured in Nashville Voyager as part of their Life & Work interview series. The piece dives into my background, how I built my real estate business in Nashville, and the mindset that continues to guide how we serve clients today.
Getting recognized by a local publication like Nashville Voyager is meaningful—not just as a personal milestone, but as a reflection of the work our team does every day helping people navigate one of the most important financial decisions of their lives.
From Starting Out to Building The Costigan Group
When I first moved to Nashville, I didn’t have a built-in network or a clear path into real estate. What I did have was a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, and a long-term view of what I wanted to build.
Like most real careers, it didn’t happen overnight. I spent years learning the market, working directly with clients, studying negotiation, pricing strategy, and what actually drives results—not hype.
That foundation eventually became The Costigan Group: a modern real estate team built around clarity, execution, and trust. We focus on residential, relocation, and investment real estate throughout Greater Nashville, and we approach every deal with the same mindset—be honest, be prepared, and protect the client’s best outcome.
A Client-First, Data-Driven Approach
One thing I talked about in the interview is how important it is to remove pressure from the process.
We don’t believe in pushing people to make decisions. Our role is to be the trusted resource—the person who understands the market, explains the options clearly, and then executes a smart plan.
That means:
Clear pricing and positioning strategies
Honest feedback (even when it’s not what someone expects)
Strong marketing and presentation
Negotiation that focuses on terms and price
Consistent communication so clients always know what’s happening
Real estate works best when decisions are made with confidence, not urgency for urgency’s sake.
What This Feature Represents
This Nashville Voyager feature was a chance to step back and reflect on the bigger picture—why I chose this career, what motivates me, and how Nashville itself has shaped the business I’ve built.
Nashville continues to attract buyers, sellers, and investors from all over the country. Having an advisor who understands both the numbers and the nuance of the market matters more than ever, and I’m proud that our work and philosophy were highlighted in this way.
