Edwin “Eddie” Scruggs founded Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Taliesyn Realty and has guided Mid-South families home for nearly thirty years. When the decision matters, you want the agent the market already trusts.
A boutique brokerage with the reach of a global brand, led by the man who built it from scratch.
Most agents join a company. Eddie built one. In 2000 he founded Taliesyn Realty and grew it into one of the Mid-South’s leading full-service boutique brokerages, now backed by the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices name and a team of more than 40 experienced professionals who work together, not against each other.
That is the difference you feel from the first conversation: a founder’s accountability, a team’s depth, and a reputation built one closing at a time across Memphis and North Mississippi.
You know what separates the truly exceptional from the merely good? It's a story. It's an experience. It's the willingness to build something authentic from scratch—twice. That's exactly what you'll find when you discover Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Taliesyn Realty, and that's what makes this operation unlike anything else in the Mid-South real estate market.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Taliesyn Realty isn’t your typical real estate company—and that’s intentional. Founded in 2000 by Edwin “Eddie” Scruggs, a lifelong Memphian, Taliesyn Realty quickly became a leading full-service, boutique brokerage in the Mid-South. The firm markets premier residential and commercial properties throughout Memphis, Tennessee, and Northern Mississippi, combining the power of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand with unmatched local knowledge and premium client service.
What makes a boutique brokerage different?
Before Eddie Scruggs helped anyone buy or sell a home, he was shaping the Memphis music scene in ways many never knew. He owned The Taliesyn Ballroom, an 800-seat concert hall and a major part of Memphis entertainment culture. He founded and co-owned Rock and Roll Audio, a touring sound company trusted by legendary Southern rock acts including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, and The Commodores.
He didn’t stop there. Eddie founded Taliesyn Entertainment, built 315 Beal Recording Studio on historic Beale Street, launched Taliesyn Photography, and managed national touring acts including Xavion—the first African-American rock group to appear on MTV—along with Y B Normal?, Home Grown Funk, and others.
Why does this matter in real estate? Because building entertainment empires teaches skills most agents never acquire: understanding people, negotiating high-stakes deals, marketing experiences, and building a reputation so strong that word-of-mouth becomes your greatest asset.
Eddie entered real estate in 1996, bringing decades of entrepreneurial spirit, people skills, and strategic vision into a new industry.
