Who is Denise LaGrange, Realtor Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty.
A connector at heart—whether it’s helping families find their dream home in Middle Tennessee or introducing newcomers to our vibrant culture, I love making meaningful matches. I spent years in pharmaceutical sales and training, which taught me how to listen well, build trust quickly, and negotiate under pressure—all skills that carry over naturally into real estate. I love creating a warm, personalized experience—whether it’s sending a box of Nashville favorites before move-in or making sure each client feels seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. I’m also a proud mom of four happy, successful children—two sons and two daughters—all STEM majors who inspire me daily.
Fun fact: My son is a pilot with Southwest Airlines, so I use those flight benefits often! I can pack a carry-on in under 30 minutes and be ready for my next travel adventure—ask me for my airport hacks!
What has been the most valuable aspect of your Chamber membership?
The Chamber has helped me feel even more connected to our city. I’ve learned so much—especially through IntroNashville. The program was such a great experience and gave me a deeper appreciation for Nashville’s past, how far we’ve come, and where we’re headed. I’ve also met some amazing people and had the chance to be part of conversations that really matter to our community.
Can you share a significant lesson you have learned?
I’ve learned that none of us does this alone—it really does take a village. Whether it’s raising a family, building a business or helping clients through big life transitions, the people around you make all the difference. I’ve leaned on my own village, and now I love being part of someone else’s—whether I’m connecting them with trusted local vendors, welcoming them to a new neighborhood or just being the steady voice during a stressful move. Relationships and community are everything!
Are there new markets or demographics you are targeting?
Yes! I work a lot with clients relocating to Middle Tennessee, and it’s one of my favorite parts of what I do. I especially love helping families move closer to each other—whether it’s for grandbaby snuggles, game days or everyday memories. To introduce the smells & tastes of Music City, I send a box of Nashville favorites from Made in TN before they even arrive, then help them discover the city—from the Parthenon to banana bread at Lola’s European Café or Chilean Sea Bass at Eddie V’s. It’s more than finding a home—it’s helping them feel connected.
What do you want to be known for in the business community?
I want to be known as someone who leads with heart and shows up with intention. Someone who connects people, builds community, and makes others feel seen—whether they’re buying a home, starting over, or just figuring out what’s next. I hope people remember me as someone who brought value, added joy, and always followed through—with grace and grit.
