Nikki Gray is a Middle Tennessee native and Old Hickory Lake real estate specialist with Lake Homes Realty, representing buyers and sellers of lakefront homes, luxury properties, private estates, large-acreage tracts, and distinctive waterfront land throughout Middle Tennessee. Her primary focus is Old Hickory Lake, including the lakefront markets of Gallatin, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Lebanon, and Old Hickory in Sumner and Wilson counties, as well as select properties on Percy Priest Lake. She works extensively with local and relocating buyers seeking everything from full-time lake homes and private-dock properties to luxury second homes, legacy estates, buildable waterfront land, and discreet off-market opportunities.
As a Luxury Homes Certified (LHC®), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA®), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®), and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS®), Nikki brings specialized knowledge to transactions where the value extends well beyond the house itself. On Old Hickory Lake, she helps clients evaluate factors such as dock permitting, water depth, shoreline characteristics, lake views, topography, privacy, acreage, access, utilities, development potential, and USACE shoreline considerations. Her experience representing luxury and lakefront properties also includes identifying and pursuing off-market opportunities when the right property is not publicly available.
Before entering real estate, Nikki owned an art gallery and antiques business and spent more than a decade as Director of Communications for the Nashville Bar Association. Her background encompasses marketing, photography, design, public relations, publishing, and strategic communications, and her work has received four national publication design awards. Today, she combines that marketing expertise with an eye for architecture, land, views, and lifestyle to position distinctive properties in ways that communicate what makes them genuinely exceptional.
A lifelong Tennessean, Nikki's connection to the area is personal as well as professional. She loves the natural landscape and the lifestyle surrounding Old Hickory Lake—from quiet coves and early mornings on the dock to boating, marinas, fishing, waterfront dining, and sunset cruises. That familiarity allows her to help clients understand not simply which home to buy on Old Hickory Lake, but which part of the lake and which property best fit the way they want to live.
