The Waypoint Team

About The Waypoint Team

At The Waypoint Team, we believe real estate is more than a transaction—it’s a journey. Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, relocating for work, or downsizing into retirement, every move represents a meaningful waypoint in life. Our mission is to guide clients through these transitions with clarity, compassion, and exceptional service.

Co-founders Matt Burhart and John Spoon bring more than 55 years of combined corporate leadership experience from a global automotive company, where they held executive-level roles across multiple states. Together, they’ve relocated their families over 20 times and personally bought or sold more than 40 homes. These lived experiences give them a deep understanding of both the practical and emotional sides of moving—especially when choosing schools, evaluating communities, and navigating major life changes.

Now entering its 11th year, The Waypoint Team has grown into a six-member group of dedicated professionals who share a commitment to responsiveness, strong ethics, and client success. Each member brings a unique background and expertise that enhances the personalized service we provide across Middle Tennessee.
