Mariana Praiz Méndez

Mariana Praiz Méndez is a REALTOR® in Shelbyville, working with homeowners, investors, and commercial buyers across Bedford County and Middle Tennessee.

Mariana came to real estate after more than a decade in financial services — originating consumer credit, evaluating financial documents against underwriting guidelines, and working as a licensed property and casualty insurance agent. That background changes what she brings to a transaction. She reads a settlement statement line by line. She knows what a lender will ask for before they ask. And on an investment or commercial property, she treats due diligence as the job: zoning, title, survey, occupancy, and condition get verified rather than assumed.

For homeowners, that means a clear explanation of the financing, not a shrug and a wait-and-see. For investors and commercial buyers, it means someone who reads the numbers and flags the problem early — while there's still time to walk away.

She works in English and Spanish and lives in the community she serves.
