  • Having been in the business for a long time and having been a broker myself, I have learned, often the hard way, that a broker can be an asset or a hinderance. My partner and I have dealt with Mike for the better part of 10 years in well over $20,000,000.00 in transactions and in that time he has been an asset. First, he understands the requirements of his clients and does not waste their time when those requirements are not going to be met. He possesses detailed market knowledge and is very attuned to current market conditions and has offered good guidance on future trends. As an experienced facilitator, his amiable nature coupled with excellent ne...

  • Mike helped me in locating my current office space and negotiating my commercial lease. He is always responsive and knowledgeable. I also, as an attorney, deal with Mike on commercial real estate closings - I know he has found many people the perfect commercial properties, and all clients speak highly of him. I would never hesitate to send a friend or client of mine to Mike for commercial real property purchases or leasing - Mike is one of the really good ones out there!

  • We were in a challenging situation needing to find a location for our private school under a very tight timeline. Mike came highly recommended for his honesty, and his ability to find solutions quickly and effectively, and he didn’t disappoint. He worked tirelessly, leveraging his network and industry relationships to explore off-market properties that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Thanks to Mike’s dedication and resourcefulness, we were able to secure the perfect location before school started. His expertise was invaluable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process.

  • Our team was introduced to Mike by one of our commercial contractors as the “Go To Man” in Middle Tennessee and especially Franklin & Williamson County when it was time to either lease or sell our Franklin Building. With the very limited industrial activity in Williamson County and in the City of Franklin, we needed a broker with deep market knowledge. Mike brought us both leasing and sale opportunities and explained the benefits and negatives associated with each offer. Mike exceeded our expectations, finding a great buyer and leading my business partners and myself through the process with clear and concise communication at every step.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike on multiple lease renewals over the years, and his expertise has been invaluable. He navigated each transaction with a level of care and insight that went far beyond the typical broker’s role. When our landlord changed ownership, he took the time to understand the new dynamics and continued to advocate for my best interests. His creative strategies have consistently helped keep my rent competitive, making me feel like he was on the same side of the table, truly part of my team. I highly recommend Mike for anyone seeking a commercial real estate expert who is as invested in your success as you are.

  • I’ve worked with Mike for over a decade, and he has consistently proven to be an exceptional real estate broker. Having sold me six buildings, assisted with a 1031 exchange, and handled numerous lease transactions on my investment properties, his attention to detail is unmatched. He asks the right questions, ensuring that each deal aligns with my long-term goals. Most importantly, Mike follows through on every commitment, earning my trust time and time again. He’s not just a real estate agent; he’s become a trusted advisor and a friend as I navigate the commercial real estate market. And he always calls me back.

  • Mike has helped my 90-year-old mother with her industrial property for years, always showing care and empathy. He treats it as his own, making decisions in her best interest. As a commercial real estate broker, he combines corporate expertise with a family-oriented approach, creating win-win situations for landlords and tenants. His dedication and personal touch have made a lasting difference for our family.
    — Tommy Dorsey
  • Mike has helped me locate and negotiate multiple industrial properties in Nashville to purchase, and his expertise in leasing to quality tenants has greatly enhanced my portfolio. His consultative approach has made him a trusted partner for me. I would highly recommend him to business owners looking for guidance on their commercial real estate.
    — Ryan Fesmire
  • My business partner and I hired Mike to sell our multi-tenant building near downtown Franklin. We started with a different firm that produced very few solid leads, and after hiring Mike we had multiple prospective buyers. Mike stood out with his proactive, creative marketing that delivered results that others could not. He attended every showing, kept us informed, and gave valuable advice on how to best position the property. He treated the sale as if it were his own, offering trusted, genuine guidance. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend him to family and friends.
    — Mike Noli
  • If you’re selling commercial property in Nashville, Mike is the expert you want on your side. He’s guided me through both purchasing and selling buildings with a deep understanding of the complexities involved. Mike communicates clearly, builds trust through his consistency and expertise, and advises from a place of experience and integrity. I highly recommend working with him.
    — Adam Ingram
  • I worked with Mike on a 1031 exchange where we were selling a property in California and reinvesting in Middle Tennessee. He made the entire process incredibly smooth. He took the time to walk me through the Nashville market and ended up finding a great off-market, multi-tenant property that checked all the boxes — solid asset, diversified income, and a clean transaction from start to finish. Really smart, honest and great to work with.
    — John Snyder
  • Mike has been our Commercial Real Estate broker for over a decade, and his impact on our organization has been significant. He understands our business, our growth strategy, and most importantly, our culture in a way that goes far beyond a typical broker relationship. Mike consistently delivers thoughtful guidance, strong market insight, and dependable execution. He has truly become an extension of our team.

About Mike

Mike Havens is a commercial real estate broker specializing in helping business owners sell and acquire commercial properties across Middle Tennessee — including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Cool Springs, Murfreesboro, Spring Hill, and the greater Middle Tennessee region, spanning Williamson, Davidson, Rutherford, Wilson, and Maury counties.

With over $1 billion in closed transactions and 1,000+ deals completed over 20+ years, Mike brings a depth of market knowledge that few brokers in Middle Tennessee can match. He holds the CCIM designation — earned by fewer than 10% of commercial real estate brokers nationwide — and a Business and Real Estate degree from Florida State University.

Over two decades and 1,000+ transactions, Mike has become the commercial real estate broker Middle Tennessee business owners call when it’s time to make a move — whether that’s selling, buying, or figuring out what their building is worth.

His approach is hands-on and personalized. Every client gets a custom marketing strategy built specifically for their property and their goals — not a template. His marketing reach extends far beyond Middle Tennessee, connecting each listing to local, regional, and national buyers including those who never appear on LoopNet or CoStar.

His relationships with bankers, attorneys, CPAs, chambers, and fellow brokers across Williamson, Davidson, and Rutherford counties give his clients access to off-market opportunities and trusted resources that most brokers simply don’t have.

Mike specializes in owner-occupied property sales, investment sales, sale-leasebacks, and 1031 exchanges. Prior to founding Havens Commercial, he was a top-producing broker at a large national commercial real estate firm, where he built his expertise in negotiation, marketing, and complex transaction structures.

Outside of work, Mike is a devoted husband and father of three who loves to travel, work out, and spend time with his family.

Serving Nashville · Franklin · Brentwood · Cool Springs · Murfreesboro · Spring Hill · La Vergne · Smyrna · Hendersonville · Gallatin · Goodlettsville · Lebanon · Mount Juliet · Nolensville · Columbia · and all of Middle Tennessee
