Meet Our Team
Mark and Krista both moved to Nashville for separate reasons, only to end up forging a strong partnership in the world of real estate. Though they grew up on opposite sides of the country, their journeys eventually brought them together to create their business, HomesNash.
Krista grew up in Billerica, MA where her passion for music started at a very young age. She spent years touring the New England area, opening for major acts, releasing music, and performing the National Anthem at numerous events, such as the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots games. In 2013, Krista made her way to Nashville continuing her music career and ultimately meeting her husband, AJ Kross.
Mark's story, on the other hand, began in Bend, OR, but he has also lived in various parts of the county. At the age of 20, he decided to join the Marine Corps and even attended boot camp on his 21st birthday. Serving as a Machine Gunner, he was deployed to Afghanistan and Eastern Europe before leaving the military as a Sgt. Mark then entered the fitness and nutrition industry eventually opening his own store in Nashville called BetterNaked Nutirtion. After 2020, he closed the store and dove headfirst into the realm of real estate. Coincidentally, Mark and AJ Kross, Krista's husband, were childhood friends, having known each other since they were 13 years old. It was through this connection that Mark and Krista met and began developing a deep-rooted friendship. Their friendship eventually led to the formation of their real estate business partnership. Their business, HomesNash, operates as a real estate team under Benchmark Realty.
They attribute the success of their partnership to the unique qualities and strengths that each of them brings to the table. Mark provides an upfront and business-minded approach, while Krista offers a more patient and detail-orientated perspective. This dynamic ensures that they complement each other in a way that allows them to excel in the Nashville real estate industry, picking up where the other may fall short. It is this synergy that has given HomesNash its distinctive edge in the market.
With their goal of becoming the top team in Middle TN real estate and helping their clients sell fast and sell easy came their slogan – Sell Smarter, Not Harder.
