Honored to Be Recognized as Tennessee's #1 REALTOR® Under 30 for Transaction Sides

When I started my real estate career in my early 20s, I had no database, no family in the business, and honestly no idea where the journey would take me.

I wasn't following in anyone's footsteps. I didn't have a built-in client base or years of industry connections. What I did have was a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to help people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

Today, I am incredibly honored to be recognized as the #1 REALTOR® Under 30 in Tennessee for Transaction Sides through the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings.

While I am grateful for the recognition, what means the most to me is what this achievement represents. Every transaction side represents a family, a couple, a first-time homebuyer, an investor, a growing family needing more space, or a seller moving on to a new chapter. Behind every closing is a story, and I never take the opportunity to be a part of those stories for granted.

Real estate has never been about awards or rankings for me. It has always been about people.

It's about the nervous first-time buyer holding their breath while waiting for an offer response. It's about helping a family sell a home filled with years of memories. It's about guiding clients through a process that can sometimes feel overwhelming and helping them feel confident every step of the way.

This business has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. It has allowed me to build meaningful relationships, serve an incredible community, and create a career that I truly love.

I am deeply grateful to every client who has trusted me, every friend and family member who has referred me, and every person who has supported my business along the way. Your trust means everything to me.

As I look ahead, my commitment remains the same as it was when I first started: to serve people well, communicate honestly, work tirelessly on behalf of my clients, and provide a level of care and service that makes every client feel like family.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. I cannot wait to see what the future holds and to continue helping families buy, sell, and invest throughout Knoxville and East Tennessee.

With gratitude,
