"Mark Deutschmann is one of Nashville's most creative thinkers. Both visionary and practical, his ideas on community revitalization, active transportation, energy conservation, and sustainable development are helping to transform Nashville. The ideas in One-Mile Radius, as well as Mark's leadership with both Greenways for Nashville and the Urban Land Institute, provide a guide to creating a better, more livable, more walkable city and region." —Ed McMahon, senior resident fellow of Urban Land Institute

"At Hands On Nashville, Mark's vision and leadership and his Go Green program inspired the Home Energy Savings program. It continues to impact thousands of Nashvillians by improving energy efficiency and reducing utility and home maintenance costs so seniors and low-income families can continue living in their neighborhoods." —Brian Williams, former CEO of Hands On Nashville

"One-Mile Radius gives a glimpse inside the world of real estate as it should be practiced.

No one can tell this story of mastery better than Mark Deutschmann." —Brian Copeland, president of the Tennessee Association of REALTORS
