I’ve got your back with the room-by-room list to help you get it all knocked-out and ready for the first day of buyers. But this is only the beginning… come on in and let’s get to know each other.

  • "Having someone who had our best interest at heart was a pleasure."

    Kristie was very attentive to our wants and needs. She was always professional in every aspect. We probably challenged her with our descriptions of what we wanted and the locations! She never waivered from her sweet spirit and determination to find the perfect fit for us. Having someone help us who had our best interest at heart was a pleasure. When we need a realtor again, Kristie will be our choice!!!

Hello!

I’m Kristie, your faithful Knoxville real estate agent. And this is Ranger, my sidekick…

We are ready to fetch your real estate dreams! I would love to know more about you! But… since you’re here I’ll tell you a little bit about me.

I’m at least a sixth generation Tennessean - our family history runs deep in this great state. Why, we even have an ancestor photographed on the wall in the museum at Dollywood!

I was born at UT Hospital - so I’m truly a Knoxville girl through and through! Go Vols! I’m also proud to say I am a graduate of both the Farragut High School Class of 1991 and the University of Tennessee, 1995 (B.S.) and 1999 (M.S.Ed).

Before becoming a real estate agent, I was a teacher in both Catholic and public schools in the Knoxville area for almost two decades. I truly loved all of my students - even the ones who challenged me to extremes! I learned something from ALL of them.

After teaching, I was blessed to work at Second Harvest Food Bank. There I was able to collaborate with teams of incredible school staff and community volunteers to place food pantries in schools in various counties around East Tennessee. What a gift it was to know these children and their families would not have to go hungry!

 
 

Now, serving others as a real estate agent, I get to put on a hat that brings together so many of the abilities and skills I have acquired over the years. I am blessed to be able to support, educate, and guide those I work with every day. God never ceases to amaze me!

Whether you are a first-time home buyer, relocating to Knoxville, moving to a new neighborhood down the road or you need to drive for several hours to find the community that’s right for you, I would love nothing more than to hear your story and find out what your next steps are for buying a home or selling your house.

I will commit to nothing less than top notch communication with you and anyone else involved in the purchase and/or sale of your home. I’ll be lockstep with you all the way to the closing table - and beyond! I can work with you from my stomping grounds in Farragut and Lenoir City and span across all parts of Knoxville. I will even drive with you to Crossville and Jamestown and to Athens and Cleveland; I’ll head into Oak Ridge & Clinton, or even land somewhere in the beautiful Smoky Mountains! Backroads are my friend, friend.

Not sure if I serve your area of interest? Let’s chat and see if you want to work together. I’m here for you!

Oh. Ranger will be too if you want to meet him. He loves a good road trip!

 
 

 At your service…

Are you ready to get your paws on the Knoxville market? How can I help? Getting stressed out is a pile of… oh never mind. Let’s work together to make the whole home buying or selling process cleaner than a freshly bathed doggo. (And boy is he clean and fluffy at bath-time!)

I’ll be here for you every step of the way, whether you are looking to:

 
  • Buy your dream home

    Are you ready to turn a house into a home? Let’s have coffee and chat about what’s going to make your new home just as special as you! Getting to know you helps me tailor your search so that I become as invested in this hunt as you are. I will be jumping for joy right along with you the moment that offer is accepted! Ready to get started? Reach out and I’ll send over my complete Buyer’s Guide and we can discuss getting you on the way to finding your new address!

  • Sell your home

    Are you ready to move but not sure where to start? This can be an overwhelming process, but it doesn’t have to be. It will take time and energy to pack up your belongings and move to a new neighborhood, across town, or across the country. You have a timeline for where you want to go, and you need someone to help you work through the details about your house and help put the action into place. Let me take over the challenge of getting your house sold so you can focus on getting to your next location. Reach out - let’s chat and set up a time to meet. I’ll run a CMA on your house, bring over my Seller’s Guide and we can discuss your plans to get you moving!

  • Learn about Knoxville

    Are you thinking about relocating to this little slice of heaven? Maybe you have been renting here for awhile and you’re deciding you want more. Well, I have lived here my whole life. Yup - since 1973 baby! That means I know a thing or two about the area. Maps, restaurants, things to do - I’ll give you the lowdown. So hit me up! I’ll be more than happy to share what I know about the city and the region - I’ll even get you started on a tour if you like. Welcome to East Tennessee!
