More About Me

Local Expertise That Helps You Choose the Right Home

I’ve lived in Knoxville my entire life, and that experience shapes how I guide my clients. This city isn’t just where I work—it’s home. I know the feel of different neighborhoods, how they’ve changed over time, and the little things you won’t catch just by scrolling through listings. Whether it’s the traffic patterns no one talks about, the vibe on a Friday night, or the way the sun hits the back porch in the evening—these details matter when you're trying to figure out if a house will actually feel like your home.

What I offer isn't just a tour of available properties. It's context. It's perspective. I help people think beyond square footage and surface features so they can choose a home that aligns with the life they want to build—not just one that looks good on paper. And because I know this area deeply, I’m able to point out the strengths (and sometimes the red flags) that might otherwise go unnoticed. My goal is always the same: to help you make a confident, well-informed decision that you’ll still feel good about long after closing day.

Guidance to Protect Your Investment and Avoid Regret

Real estate is a big decision—financially, emotionally, and practically. It's not something you want to “wing” or rush through, especially in a market that can move fast and feel unpredictable. My role is to help you slow it down just enough to make wise, informed decisions—ones that hold up months and years from now, not just in the moment.

Whether you're buying your first home or selling something that’s been part of your story for a while, my goal is to protect your time, your money, and your peace of mind. I pay close attention to pricing, timing, and positioning so that you’re not overpaying, underselling, or stepping into something you’ll wish you’d seen more clearly. It’s not about getting you to the finish line faster—it’s about getting you there right.

Good real estate decisions aren’t just about luck or location—they’re about asking the right questions, reading between the lines, and having someone in your corner who knows what to look for before it becomes a problem. That’s what I bring to the table: grounded guidance, honest input, and a steady hand when it matters most.

A Process That Feels Clear, Supported, and Human

Buying or selling a home can be a lot—especially if you're trying to figure it all out on your own, or you’ve worked with someone in the past who left you feeling rushed or in the dark. I believe the process should feel clear, not confusing. And above all, it should feel like someone’s actually walking it with you—not just sending you links or waiting for signatures.

I make it a priority to be the kind of agent who listens more than I talk. I want to understand what you’re really trying to accomplish, not just what your budget is or how many bedrooms you need. That’s how I help people get what they actually want—not just what’s available. I’m also not the kind of agent who disappears once the contract is signed. I stay available, responsive, and in sync with what matters most to you, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough—and beyond.

There’s a lot of noise in real estate. My job is to help quiet it down, help you focus on what really matters, and make sure you never feel like you're doing this alone.

Discipline, Detail, and Doing the Work Others Won’t

Before I stepped into real estate, I served in the United States Air Force as an aircraft mechanic—a role that demanded discipline, precision, and an ability to stay calm when the stakes were high. That experience didn’t just shape how I work—it’s the foundation of how I show up for my clients. I bring that same mindset into every transaction: stay focused, stay honest, and do the job right the first time.

I also bring another layer to the table: I’m a short-term rental owner and operator. That means I’ve been in your shoes as a buyer and an investor. I’ve run the numbers, dealt with regulations, handled the surprises, and learned what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to making a property profitable. If you’re exploring STRs or investment properties in Knoxville, I can help you make sense of the process—not just in theory, but from real experience.

What ties it all together is this: I take the responsibility of helping someone buy or sell a home seriously. I know how much trust it requires. Whether you're planning your next move or your first one, I’m here to bring structure, clarity, and commitment to every step.
