Neel Smith

Neel Smith is originally from Red Boiling Springs, and he and his family moved to Lebanon over 10 years ago. At the time Neel's family moved to Lebanon, they used The G Team to help them purchase a home. Over the years, he has enjoyed the experience of buying and selling real estate with The G Team so much that he decided to join our team as an affiliate broker.  Since 1998, Neel has been an insurance agency owner with current office locations in Lebanon and Lafayette. Neel looks forward to helping you with all of your real estate and insurance needs.

Neel has been married to Tammy Smith for over 30 years. Tammy serves as the Administrator of Elections for Wilson County. They have two children.

When not selling insurance policies or real estate, Neel enjoys spending time with his family and traveling. In addition, Neel is an avid fan of the Tennessee Volunteers. We think he may actually bleed orange. Neel is looking forward to serving his clients and showing why The G Team is the home of "Your Local Real Estate Experts."

Taylor Patterson Angel

Taylor has kick started her new real estate career by joining the G Team at Cumberland Real Estate.

Wilson County is near and dear to her heart as she was born and raised here. From an early age, she has learned what it means to serve our local community by watching her father and his experiences as a local business owner.

Her parents, Bryan and Barbara Patterson, raised her and her three siblings to understand the value of hard work, community, and stepping out in faith. Her life journey and many, many prayers have led her to this moment in which she is taking her own leap of faith to follow a new career path.

Taylor graduated from Friendship Christian School and went on to earn a degree in Education from Tennessee Tech University. She used her desire to serve others and her community as she taught and coached for three years at Lebanon High School. Her experience at Lebanon High School was a blessing in her life that she will forever be grateful for. However, she decided to serve her community differently through real estate.

Taylor's husband, Gabe, and her daughter are the two who unknowingly inspire her to make this life decision. For her, everything changed the moment she and her husband brought their little girl home. Taylor quickly realized how a house becomes a home, a safe haven, and a reflection of those on the inside. Her wish is for others to have the same feelings of love, safety, and contentment in their homes. Taylor would love to play a small part in your family’s journey to finding a perfect place to call home.
