Gatlinburg Area Real Estate Agent Count Down to Only 337

Although our Great Smoky Mountain Association of Realtors board once had as many as 700 Realtors + an additional 300 MLS participants from other areas, that number has diminished greatly to only 337 local Realtors which is a much more reasonable number. That's a good thing because although our Gatlinburg area market has recently improved, there were simply far too many real estate agents working in our community. Many of these Smoky Mountain real estate agents have moved into other fields, have taken part time jobs, or have moved to other communities looking for better opportunities.

This does leave more opportunity for the few full time truly professional agents that remain. Fortunately, and by the grace of God, I have been able to make a very good living here in the Gatlinburg area for the past 17 years selling real estate located from as far south as Athens, TN to as far north/east of here as Morristown. Although I have covered that entire area in the past, I am now concentrating primarily on the Sevier County market which includes Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Wears Valley, Waldens Creek, Sevierville, Kodak, Seymour, and Cosby. With over 50 transactions personally completed or pending already this year, 2013 (like 2012 and prior) looks to be another record year for us. If you are looking for experienced and professional real estate service when purchasing or selling Smoky Mountain real estate, please contact me. Our office number is 865-436-2849 and we will be happy to assist!!

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Smoky Mountain Water Wells but were Afraid to Ask!

Unlike more urban communities, many Smoky Mountain homes still have water supplied by individual underground wells. The fact is that only a relatively small (but ever growing) portion of our area is served by municipal utility water. This is rarely a problem as wells here in the Gatlinburg and surrounding area usually produce clear and good tasting water for significantly less cost than utility water once the one-time expense of drilling the well is covered. In fact, while there are certainly exceptions, our area is known for exceptionally clean and good tasting well water. More than one brand of bottled water is actually drawn from underground sources right here in the Smokies. What can go wrong you ask? Unfortunately, plenty! In those relatively rare cases where a well’s iron or sulfur content causes the water to be unsuitable, a water filtration system can generally be installed to remedy the situation. Water filtration can be as basic as a very inexpensive cotton string filter th

I have had this blog since 2003 but didn't really get serious about regularly writing here until the beginning of 2007. I do truly enjoy the opportunity to share my thoughts about our local Gatlinburg area real estate market including the surrounding communities of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Seymour, Kodak, and Cosby. The only problem with writing any type of blog is that you really aren't sure just how many people are reading much less care about what you are pontificating about. If you are reading this blog, regularly or for the very first time, PLEASE comment me. It's easy, painless, and won't leave any sort of mark. In fact, you can even remain totally anonymous but yet let me know that you are out there. Like the age old question of "If a tree falls in the forest with nobody there to hear, does it make a noise?", a blog writer could wonder "If I write something meaningful but nobody reads it, does it matter?". If you like, you can even tel
