Real Estate Done Differently

For 28 years, I’ve helped East Tennessee families find more than houses—I’ve helped them find home. Whether you’re relocating to Knoxville, downsizing after the kids leave, building wealth through investment properties, or finally ready for that dream home in the Smokies, I’m with you for the long haul.

I’m not chasing volume. I’m building relationships. My business runs on referrals from people who trusted me once and keep coming back—or sending their friends, their kids, and even their parents my way.

How I Work

Real estate isn’t just about square footage and closing dates. It’s about understanding what matters to you. Do you need a neighborhood with great schools? A historic home with character? A quiet street where your kids can ride bikes? An investment property that actually cash flows?

I’ve lived in South Knoxville, Bearden, Fourth & Gill, and points beyond. I’ve wandered these neighborhoods, talked to the people who live here, and learned what makes each community tick. That’s why Jay Papasan featured my approach in his book Rookie Real Estate Agent—not because I close the most deals, but because I know how to listen.

Where I Work

Primary Markets: Knox County, Sevier County, Blount County, Loudon County

Specialties:

• Residential buyers and sellers (first-time to luxury)
• Relocation (moving to Knoxville or within East Tennessee)
• Historic homes (Fourth & Gill, Old North Knoxville, Downtown)
• Investment properties (I own 50+ rentals—I know what works)
• Luxury real estate
• Land and commercial (select opportunities)
