Opening of Traci Adams Realty Group ‘meant to be’
Adams, the principal broker residing in Blackstone View subdivision along Farragut’a Town limits, opened the agency at 12748 Kingston Pike Suite 204, adjacent to Myers Bros. Holding office, Monday, July 20.
“It’s been great,” she said about her move, but added, “With anything real estate, it’s a little different animal.
“With all this COVID stuff that we’ve been dealing with, a lot of our in-person things have now been over the Internet or virtual things,” Adams added.
However, she said she just wanted to open a small office with a few good agents.
“I have two now,” Adams said. “I’m trying to bring on a few more. I want to have good, trustworthy, honest agents who are going to look after their clients.”
Adams’ goal is to have a good reputation and to take care of her clients, and “my agents take care of their clients. I want to be set apart from the other agencies.”
In addition to her broker’s license, Adams also has four other certifications: a seller’s representation specialist, a credit and buyer’s representative, real estate negotiator and ePRO certification, which is an online virtual presence through the National Association of Realtors.
Adams specializes in residential real estate, using everything from traditional methods to virtual online presence and drones to market for her clients.
“With COVID going on, it only makes sense” to obtain the ePRO certification, she said.
“I love what I do,” Adams added. “I love working with people. I just think it was meant to be for me to go out on my own.”
Her office currently is open by appointment. Adams can be reached at 865-850-0896 or by sending an e-mail to tracilynnadams@gmail.com.
Adams was a broker for Mashburn Lake & Golf Realty in Tellico Village when “the owner decided it was time to close,” she said.
“So I just decided to go out on my own,” Adams added. “This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time.”
She has been in the real estate business since 2010, remembering that year was “recessionville.” But she jumped in and took advantages of opportunities at the time.
“I survived for a couple years doing that, then the market picked back up,” she said.
Adams worked at Smoky Mountain Realty for eight-and-a-half years before working at Mashburn Lake & Realty for a year as its principal broker.
