Director
Henry Walker
I grew up learning to farm from the young age of 10. Working on the farm raising registered Polled Hereford cattle taught me about how one’s work affects others and makes a difference. By the time I was a teenager, I had bought several cattle of my own and was in charge of a herd of around 50 to 60 head eventually becoming a 4-H Honor club member. Working with your hands on the farm gives you a sense of accomplishment and an admiration for hard work. I attended college at Mississippi State University and also began a career in the world of manufacturing. I had 30+ years of experience in the supply chain function of several different industries leading teams of people and gaining great insight into different businesses and negotiation. In 2019 I obtained my real estate license and joined Lisa. The same work ethic transferred over to our real estate business. I currently serve on the RPAC committee with Williamson County Association of Realtors. With my passion for rural properties, I specialize in land transactions and serve as an elected Director for the TN Chapter of the Realtors Land Institute. Being a partner with Luxury Homes International allows me to provide the best marketing and service in the Real Estate Industry.
