The Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

What is the MLS, and how does it work for you?The MLS is a database of properties currently on the market in the area. Brokers participating in the MLS (which includes virtually all Brokers in the area) list all the homes they have for sale and agree to share in the sales commission of the properties. This means that if I list your property on the MLS for you, but another agent finds a buyer for your house, that other broker or agent is entitled to part of the commission. The big advantage to you, as the seller, is that every single broker and real estate agent participating in the MLS has an incentive to sell your home. This effectively puts every agent in the area to work selling your home!  The first place a buyers agent looks is always the MLS.  There is simply no better way to gain instant and widespread exposure for your home than listing it on the MLS.

So, the first thing Ill do as your agent is get your home listed on the MLS!  When another agent is searching for a home to meet the needs of a buyer, the agent will search the MLS based on the buyers criteria for price range and features.  So Ill enter all the important information about your home, such as the size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any special features.  I'll also take super photos of your house and include them with your MLS listing.  My houses always get attention because of my photography and property descriptions.  Doing this right is very important.  But it is just the begining...

I am a member of both the Knoxville Area MLS and the Greater Smoky Mountains MLS.  This means that can list in either or both and that I cover all the communities in the Greater Knoxville region, including resort communities located in the Great Smoky Mountains and on the lakes of East Tennessee.  Some of the major communities in the region are Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Townsend, Maryville, Seymour, Loudon, and Dandridge. 

Whether you are looking for property or want to sell, call on me.  Whether it is land, residential, commercial, or investment property, I will represent you professionally with knowledge and concern for your interest.  Are you moving?  If you want to relocate or retire to East Tennessee, call on me.

You can search properties thoughout the region on this website.  You can do that from the navigation links on the left of each page, or you can click on the links below:
