Hi, I'm Denise O'Neil--an Ohio native who's called Columbia, TN home for over 30 years. I hold a marketing degree from the University of Alabama, and after college, my husband and I helped launch campus ministries across the U.S. before settling in Columbia to raise our four children. My background in hospitality and event planning sharpened my negotiation skills and attention to detail--both of which now serve my real estate clients well. As a Realtor with Exit Truly Home Realty, I bring a mix of Southern hospitality, real-world experience, and a client-first mindset to every transaction. I specialize in helping clients 55+ find homes that support their next chapter--whether you're planning for retirement, moving closer to loved ones, or seeking a home that fits your lifestyle, I'm here to help make the move as seamless and rewarding as possible. I'm also a Real Estate Collaboration Specialist for Divorce, and I'm especially passionate about supporting clients through life transitions with compassion and care. When I'm not working, you'll find me in my cottage garden, reading, cooking, volunteering at the local animal shelter, or spending time with my dog, Juno. I'd love to connect over coffee and chat about your real estate goals!
