Elizabeth raines

alchemy real estate team benchmark realty

Elizabeth Raines is a Realtor with the Alchemy Real Estate Team at Benchmark Realty, bringing a decade of experience in the service industry into her approach to real estate.

With a background rooted in hospitality, Elizabeth understands the importance of listening closely, anticipating needs, and sweating the details others might find pedantic. Today, she puts that same attention to detail toward helping people find the right home, with a particular passion for helping first-time homebuyers in Nashville’s service industry break into homeownership.

For Elizabeth, real estate is about more than matching buyers with houses. It’s about matching people with the right opportunities, navigating all the little details along the way, and helping clients feel confident in one of the biggest decisions they’ll make.

As a way of giving back to the industry that helped her build her life, Elizabeth donates 1% of her commissions to the Nashville Industry Fund.
