★★★★★
"As first-time homebuyers, we thought Kayla and David were amazing and an absolute pleasure to work with. The process went so smoothly despite a crazy market. They were very knowledgeable resources and helped us to consider things we hadn’t thought of. We ended up with the perfect house, and we’ll definitely reach out to them in the future and highly recommend them to friends." - Sarah E. and Caldwell V.

★★★★★

They knew when to push the seller and, more importantly, when to pick our battles in order to maintain a win-win transaction for everyone involved.

We really appreciated their knowledge of Nashville and their homebuying expertise. We knew we were getting “real deal” perspective, rather than trying to just trying to get a deal done. And best of all, they made the process fun and we looked forward to spending time with them!" - Arturo and Liz G.


About The DK Group
A partnership of two Realtors committed to exceptional real estate service, The DK Group was formed in 2021 when real estate veteran David Koellein was joined by his long-time friend and fellow Nashville-area native Kayla Bates.

About David

A graduate of Lipscomb and Harvard Universities and a resident of Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood, David has a background in public-sector urban planning, private-sector development, and as an urban design professor. He has served on the boards of directors/ trustees for The Nashville Civic Design Center, The District, Inc., and O'More College.

David was among the eight agents who founded Compass Nashville in 2018. He consistently earns silver and gold level awards for his business from Greater Nashville Realtors, serves on the Compass Nashville Agent Council, and is an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS).

A good “generalist” outside of the office, David enjoys reading, writing, architecture, history, world travel, playing trivia, and local dining. He has a dry sense of humor. He has an ISTJ Myers-Briggs profile and is an Enneagram Type 5, the “investigator”.
