The Broker in a Hat

About Tara Hayes

Knoxville Realtor, broker, and licensed building contractor — since 2009.

Sixteen years, two licenses, one hat

Tara Hayes has been selling East Tennessee real estate since August 2009 — a broker at Realty Executives Associates, a licensed Tennessee building contractor, and the easiest agent to spot at any closing: she's the one in the hat.

The two licenses are the whole story. Most agents can tell you what a house is listed for; Tara can tell you what it's worth fixing. Buyers get an informal contractor's read on every showing. Sellers get pre-list advice on which repairs pay for themselves. New-construction clients get someone who reads plans and holds builders to them.

All of East Tennessee, one broker

Her practice covers the Knoxville metro and the communities around it — Farragut, Hardin Valley, Karns, Bearden, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Tellico Village, and the lake country in between — with services spanning family homes and first purchases, luxury and lakefront, land, new construction, investing, and full-service property management.

Sixteen years in, the reviews say the same thing over and over: honest, responsive, and knows houses. Read them, then call — Tara answers her own phone.
