The Costigan Group adds waterfront specialist Erica Stevens

The Costigan Group at Compass has added Nashville-area Realtor Erica Stevens to expand its Old Hickory Lake and waterfront advisory work across Mount Juliet and Greater Nashville. The move deepens the team’s focus on lifestyle-driven lake properties, where shoreline, dock access and resale value can matter as much as the home itself.

Why it matters: - Old Hickory Lake remains a key waterfront market for buyers who want boating access, views, privacy and proximity to Nashville. - The addition of Erica Stevens gives The Costigan Group more specialized support for clients weighing lakefront lifestyle factors that can shape both use and value. - Waterfront transactions often hinge on property details that do not show up clearly in standard listings.

What happened: - The Costigan Group at Compass announced the addition of Erica Stevens, a Nashville-area real estate advisor. - Stevens focuses on Old Hickory Lake real estate, lakefront homes, waterfront properties and residential real estate across Mount Juliet and Greater Nashville. - The team is led by Nashville Realtor Jack Costigan. - The announcement was made Aug. 4, 2026.

The details: - Stevens works with primary residences, luxury lakefront homes, second homes and residential properties with access to Old Hickory Lake. - Her advisory process looks at shoreline position, dock access, water depth, lot usability, privacy, outdoor living potential, property condition, surrounding development, neighborhood character and long-term resale appeal. - Properties on or near the lake can offer very different ownership experiences depending on elevation, shoreline access, dock configuration, water visibility, lot orientation and proximity to marinas or recreation. - Stevens also serves buyers and sellers throughout Mount Juliet and the broader Nashville residential market. - Mount Juliet’s residential growth, established neighborhoods, lake access and proximity to Nashville have made it an important market for local and relocating buyers. - Her broader residential work includes pricing, property condition, location, neighborhood demand, negotiation strategy and future marketability. - The Costigan Group said Stevens joins as the team expands specialized advisory services across residential, luxury, relocation, investment, short-term rental, new development and lifestyle real estate throughout Middle Tennessee.

Between the lines: - The hire signals continued demand for agents who can explain the practical differences between waterfront homes, lake-access properties and nearby residential alternatives. - Relocating buyers may need more context than online listings provide, especially when comparing commute patterns, neighborhood amenities and day-to-day convenience. - Jack Costigan said Stevens strengthens the team’s ability to serve buyers and sellers in the Old Hickory Lake and Mount Juliet markets while supporting the broader residential platform. - Costigan also said waterfront buyers are comparing how each property interacts with the water, not just kitchens and bedroom counts.

What's next: - Stevens will use The Costigan Group’s marketing platform to position waterfront listings around shoreline, water access, views, outdoor living areas, lot configuration, privacy, dock features and the overall ownership experience. - For sellers, that approach is designed to reach buyers who understand the specific value of the setting. - Stevens will continue advising buyers and sellers who are moving closer to the lake, relocating to Middle Tennessee, buying a primary residence or preparing a home for sale.

The bottom line: - The Costigan Group is sharpening its waterfront expertise as Old Hickory Lake and Mount Juliet remain important lifestyle markets in Middle Tennessee.
