Who’s buying and selling the Nashville area’s most expensive homes, September 2009
by E. Thomas Wood
If you follow the money in the nation's ongoing health care debates, you'll find a few dollops of it in this month's list of the biggest home sales in town. In more than the usual number of these deals, there is now a doctor in the house.Two of the buyers named below, William Nealon and Allen Sills, are surgical specialists moving to town to join Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Kenneth Lanyon is an anesthesiologist, Antarpreet Singh is a dentist, and we think, but are not sure, that William Bevins and Kevin McManus are also physicians. And Gary Seay is senior vice president and chief information officer with hospital operator Community Health Systems.
Other purchasers include James W. Perkins Jr., former president and CEO of Consumers Gasoline Stations Inc., and songwriter/producer Moe Lytle.
