Being a noob homebuyer is an unsettling experience. I had many questions. Andrea had helpful and…read moreexperienced answers to all of them. She is knowledgeable, intuitive and patient. She came to my attention via a trusted recommendation and I am very glad that I listened -- I don't always. Being in law enforcement, I have particular requirements and desires with regard to location and Andrea's background made her ideally suited to understand and address them. Being a single guy with a cat introduced other requirements and she got that, too. She found me the perfect house in a great neighborhood and I really couldn't be any happier with it. She did it quickly, too. I had a deadline imposed by circumstances and she worked within that timeline effectively and efficiently. I would say she went above and beyond the call of duty but I suspect she does that pretty routinely. Developments were communicated immediately and she was always there when I reached out for help. Her counsel was wise and her instincts, born of diverse experience, were spot on. Shortly before my purchase, a co-worker went through the buying process. For a few days there, he was an absolute wreck. Seemed like he was always on the phone and stressing over some detail or another. That was in the back of my mind as I began my own home purchase but, between Andrea and my excellent mortgage broker, that stress just didn't materialize. Obviously, there are many factors involved in the home purchase process and the realtor doesn't have control over all of them. Having said that, If you want to increase the odds of a smooth experience, do yourself a favor and hire Andrea. And then pay attention to what she tells you. Thank you, Andrea.

Andrea is amazing. Super nice and easy to talk to. Even…read morethough she has other clients I always felt that I was a priority. She quickly responded to my all my questions and concerns. She picked up on what our wants and needs were which helped us find our perfect home. Our 1st loan officer was not very helpful. Andrea helped us locate a wonderfully helpful loan officer and diligently worked to meet the tight deadline we had. To make things even harder for her, my husband is a driver at UPS and she had to work around his schedule, which is...he gets off when he gets off and he could not just take time off whenever. This also was our 1st time buying a house and I was not prepared for the process, it was overwhelming. Andrea totally got that and walked us through the whole process. She made sure we understood everything. I cannot express enough how amazing she is.

My name is Patricia Broyles & my husband Samuel & I feel that when you're buying a home, your…read moreexcitement can sometimes overcome what logically makes sense for your family and your wallet - so you may overspend. If you don't have a good Agent on your side, you may be pushed to get into any home. We highly recommend Karen George and will only use her expertise on any and all real estate jobs we have in the future. We had some difficult moments (Buyers remorse aft. spending hours on document signing; almost buying a nice piece of property but w/a hideous view) that I'm not sure any other realtor would have had the patience to deal with us on these issues and walk us through them as methodical and calm as Karen George did. Karen remained positive and confident through all of the bumps we encountered along the way, and, in turn we stayed positive through the process. She offered her opinion when we asked and helped us to consider things we hadn't thought of. She is professional, polite,, friendly, great about making appts. immed., she always got back to us, and her advice was incredibly useful. She made sure as we moved forward that we were well informed and in agreement with everything taking place. She is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the local markets, she answered emails, texts and calls promptly; and was always punctual for viewing. We had certain expectations in a home, which at times felt like we were attempting the impossible, but Karen George not only listened to each request, she managed to find us our dream home! Her advice and support through closing was invaluable. Karen has a passion for what she does and I can tell that she loves her job and the services it provides. In the end we found the property that was perfect for us and are loving it so far. We could not have done it without her! We couldn't have asked for a better Agent & we will refer all our family & friends to her any chance we get!

Sally Sparks and her crew are fantastic! My husband and I started looking for a home in January…read more2015. He was at the grocery store and picked up a real estate magazine, flipped the page and there was Sally's picture with the website. We started looking at homes, then we contacted their office. With our schedules it was very difficult to see houses. Sally, Bob, and Katie met our schedules every time they could. Even when it was difficult, it was possible. We looked and looked at houses. Every house we found we liked was sold very quickly. Then we found one both of us could envision ourselves in. We started the paperwork, and moved forward. Every step of the way Sally, Katie, and Bob were there. Karen and Misty were also in the mix. I cannot say how fabulous this crew is. Century 21 is one very blessed group with Sally Sparks and her crew at the helm. There was never an unkind word. There were smiles every time you spoke to them. It did not matter what time of the day or night they were there. As we were trying to close on the house, several things were happening at the same time, but Sally and Katie handled everything. We did not have to deal with any of the backlash. We are very thankful for Sally, Katie, Bob, Karen, Misty, and anyone else in this office. Without them, we would still be looking and flapping in the wind. Thank you, a thousand times, thank you for the wonderful experience and welcome to Knoxville.

I started working with Suzy from the Southbound Group in April 2026 while I was still living in…read moreLouisiana and preparing for my move to Chattanooga. From the beginning, she made what could have been a very stressful long-distance home-buying experience feel manageable. I always felt like she genuinely had my best interests in mind. Suzy really listened to what I wanted. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, offered recommendations that made sense for me, and never made me feel pressured. Most importantly, she was a strong advocate for me throughout the entire process. Once I found the home I wanted, Suzy truly became my eyes, ears, and voice in Chattanooga. Since I was purchasing new construction from another state, I couldn't always be there in person, and she consistently went above and beyond to fill that gap. She stayed on top of the progress, kept me informed, attended the final inspection when I couldn't be there, and spoke up for me when something wasn't right or didn't meet my expectations. I honestly can't imagine going through this process without her. Having someone I trusted in my corner, especially while buying from out of state, made all the difference. I absolutely love my new home and am so grateful to Suzy for helping me get here. I would work with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in TN.

We had a very tight timeline in a span of 2 days, and Stephanie and her colleague, Suzy, helped us find our dream home in Knoxville. They were very communicative and fought for us at every step of the negotiation process. She knew how much we wanted our offer to be accepted, and Stephanie and the team made our dream a reality. Stephanie was even able to have connections to look at upcoming listings as well. When Stephanie couldn't make some of our timeline, she made sure we were in good hands with her colleague, Suzy. We thank them both greatly for their superb assistance and care I'm our home buying process. We highly recommend Stephanie and the Southbound Group for your realty needs.
