Meet the Team at Smythe and Co. Real Estate
Trust helped launch the successful Franklin business Smythe and Co. Real Estate in 2013 by Owner and Realtor Tanya Smythe. With the booming success of the business, it might be surprising to know that Smythe didn’t always dream of selling real estate. While at Indiana University, Smythe studied psychology and dabbled in cosmetic sales, but real estate was not in her future plans.

She began working as the executive secretary for Mark’s football agent, who was also a builder.
