“I can think of nothing heavier than an aircraft; I can think of nothing less likely to fly.” These words, spoken by poet Saul Williams, are an absolute truth. It’s amazing, that through science, dedication, and a fair amount of hope, we are able to take something over 400,000 pounds, and make it airborne. Outside…

The Smell of Fresh Cut Wood

By Amanda Stone | Published November 19, 2014

For more than a decade, I’ve frequently used the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway Trail. One of my favorite stretches is the path between the Old Louisville Road access point and the Springbrook area. Along this route, I’ve passed behind Anderson Lumber Company a countless number of times.  I can tell you without hesitation that a lumber yard…

We finally closed on our new house! Michael did everything he could to get us to the closing, even through what seemed to be road blocks. He worked late at night if needed, stalked people that needed to be stalked, and answered the million questions I had, even if he had to ask somebody else. He also answered my phone calls every single time.

Melissa is the best! She brings accurate comp data, market savvy and a "whatever it takes" attitude to every listing. She knows what buyers are looking for and she guides her sellers through every step of the process.

Brandon sold our home in Maryville in July 2018. It was on the market less than 10 days and we had competing offers OVER the asking price. It was so painless! Brandon also helped us buy our new home at the same time. He always made us feel like a top priority and did everything in his power to get things done efficiently. He was there every step of the way with us.

We had a specific idea of what area and type of house we wanted and they were diligent in the task of finding us just the right home for our needs. We couldn’t be happier with Property Dad’s and our home buying experience! Thanks again guys!

Lane really listened to what we wanted and was quick to set up any showings we were interested in! He was professional, knowledgeable, and we really felt like he came through for us!

Lane was a godsend. We were moving from out of state and didn't know the area well. He quickly got a great sense of what we were looking for and got us in to look at homes that we really loved. He even got us in to look at a few homes that weren't on the market yet. If you want someone who leaves no stone unturned, and who doesn't think twice about working long hours to meet your needs, Lane Shuler is your guy!

Lori was incredible to work with. She knows the area extremely well, and treated us as if we were her only clients. She was never pushy with us, and seemed to be one step ahead of us all the time. She is not a typical realtor who is out to make money. Lori truly wants her clients to find the right home for them. She's about helping people.

Working with Lori was a wonderful experience. Purchasing our home in TN was quite a lengthy process. For over 9 months, we stayed in contact with Lori through selling our home in MA, moving to TN and renting, looking at homes, etc,... Every step of the way, Lori was patient and supportive. Even post the closing of our home we are still in contact regularly. We feel she was not only our realtor but also our friend.

My family was able to land house that we love and is exactly what we were looking for. Without the Griders, we would probably not seen the house in time to view it, let along, make an offer. They were equally as thrilled for us to get the house as we were. They wanted nothing more than for us to find our home and were willing to do what was necessary to get that done. They were genuinely happy for us.

My husband and I recently bought our home in Maryville and it is all thanks to Rachel!! She is amazing! We were looking for a home while living in a different city. She was very flexible with our schedule and helping show homes to us and she even made arrangements for other people in her group to show us homes while she was on a business trip. We had a limited time frame and she helped us find the home we wanted.
