Darci Caesar

A Woman On-the-Go

The “I Am Williamson” column features individuals in Williamson County who are known and unknown as staples of our community, doing good, seen and unseen, and always exuding Williamson County! This month, we feature a woman who is forever on the go. Darci Caesar works with several community organizations, including The Davis House Child Advocacy Center, where she has played a significant leadership role. She is also serving as the Chair of our Third Annual Ladies of Distinction event, which takes place May 12^th at The Factory at Franklin. She is able to balance leading a team at Onward Real Estate, being a mom of four, a wife, and being a Williamson County leader. We interviewed Darci for our “I Am Williamson” spotlight to learn more about her story.

How long have you lived in Williamson County and what makes it feel like home to you?

I was raised in Columbia, Tennessee, not too far away. Greg and I were married in Memphis, then moved to Mobile, Alabama and back to Franklin, in 2007.

What is your profession, and what led you to choose it?

I am a Real Estate Professional — the Team Lead for the Darci Caesar Group, with Onward Real Estate (a Bob Parks Company).

I initially got into real estate flipping houses, but everything came full circle when I realized all of my strengths and loves are all wrapped in this career. Relationships, communication, negotiations, processes and helping people are really what makes my wheels turn.  I truly am honored to help people with life situations and walk them through to another chapter.

Also, with the creativity and flexibility, I’m able to raise a family and be there for all the “things”. Plus, sharing the community I love so dearly makes it fun!

Three words that best describe you.

Dedicated, caring and problem solver.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Truly, I’m on the athletic fields cheering on my kids at soccer and cheerleading right now! I love projects, gardening, cooking, movies and family time.

Where is your favorite place to go in Williamson County and why?

I have lots! The summertime movies in Leiper’s Fork Lawn Chair theater were always my “slice of heaven.”

To sum it all up, I’d have to say… Downtown Franklin Main Street. It’s the PEOPLE, shops, food and atmosphere that draws you in.

What keeps you motivated and inspired?

Raising our family… Greg and I have been married for twenty-four years soon. We have four kids and every day is a new age and new stage…Lots of learning, communicating and cheering going on. It’s just always different every day, and getting to do the work that I love and watch them grow really inspires me. I am hoping it’s an example to others to create what you need at any stage of life.

What organization(s) are you involved with and why?

I am a sustainer for Junior League. I’ve been a member in Mobile, Alabama, Nashville, and London, England.

I’ve been on the Royal Court for My Friends House Mardi Gras Ball Fundraiser, I’ve chaired the Davis House Button Ball Fundraiser, and I am currently serving on the Board for Williamson County Association of Realtors, and serve on Leadership Council for Onward Real Estate in Franklin. I’m a huge supporter of our kids' athletics and schools as well.

What is the one thing you do not go a day without?

HUGS. I’m a hugger.

Finish this statement: I AM Williamson because…

My heart is proud to be here. In a time where you can live anywhere… Williamson County is home. Raising our family, supporting our community and loved ones — Instilling in our kids the values and ethics that make these people and this place so wonderful. I hope our kids have a love in their hearts for this small town and the relationships that build a community and last a lifetime.
