A Life in Music
& Community
Mike Battistelli spent early years in the New York City music and entertainment industry, enjoying a successful career as Musical Director and Conductor on Broadway and at Radio City Music Hall. That background in performance, precision, and storytelling shapes how he approaches real estate.
His wife Kate is a bestselling author, speaker, and former Broadway actress who co-starred opposite Yul Brynner in "The King and I" for more than 1,000 performances. Their daughter Francesca is a GRAMMY® and DOVE® Award-winning singer/songwriter and Christian recording artist — and a mother to their seven grandchildren.
This is a family built on craft, commitment, and community. Those values carry directly into every client relationship Mike builds in Franklin and across Middle Tennessee.
