The team
The people opening doors.
AmeriKey is Austin and Barbara Adams — two people who have built their careers in Nashville and know its neighborhoods the way only insiders do.
Austin Adams
Partner | Affiliate Broker
Austin Adams is a Partner and Affiliate Broker at AmeriKey Realty, working across the full range of the firm's practice — residential sales, investment, new construction, and development. He brings a builder's eye and a systems-minded approach to the work, helping investors, builders, and homeowners navigate everything from off-market sourcing to closing and beyond.

Barbara Adams
Founder | Principal Broker
Barbara Adams founded AmeriKey Realty in 2008 after relocating to Nashville from Atlanta, with a vision for a real estate company that could grow alongside the city it serves. As Principal Broker, she has guided clients through every kind of transaction Nashville's market can produce — from first homes and luxury sales to complex deals most agents won't take on. Her clients consistently describe patience, candor, and a willingness to fight for the right outcome rather than the fast one. [PLACEHOLDER — personal line to be added later]
Client stories
What clients say.
“As a first-time buyer, I was nervous about the whole process. Austin and Barbara were patient, invested, and genuinely committed to finding the right fit — not just a fast close.”
“I closed on two Nashville homes through AmeriKey, and both were excellent experiences. They fought for favorable deals on my behalf every step of the way.”
“Barbara navigated an unexpectedly complex sale — an extra lot, title complications, the works. She kept everything low-stress and ultimately helped me pay off my mortgage.”
“True professionals. The highest ethics, extraordinary attention to detail, and a level of care I've rarely seen in any industry.”
