ABOUT BENCHMARK
Phillip Cantrell, Benchmark Realty CEO, spent 20 years in the commercial printing business in Nashville prior to embarking on a real estate career. In 2006, Phillip and his wife, Amanda, started Benchmark in the front bedroom of a house in downtown Franklin. In 2008, the company reorganized and relaunched with just five agents after exploring other current and innovative business models around the country. In 2011, Benchmark opened its second office in Murfreesboro, while the Nashville Midtown office was opened just one year later in 2012. One to two new offices have opened per year since, and Benchmark has now grown to be the largest real estate company in Middle Tennessee in volume and transaction count.
