Explore the Historic Grandeur Near the Great Smokies
Relocating to a new city can be exciting, yet overwhelming. This is especially true if you are not familiar with the area or do not have family or friends locally. As someone who relocated to East TN not knowing a single person, I understand your concerns and what you are about to face. Leaving Virginia, a place I had called home my entire life, was a stressful undertaking but I was optimistic about what Knoxville had to offer my family. I put a lot of time into researching the greater Knoxville area and had a trusted Realtor help guide me during our home purchase. Our only regret was not moving sooner. I promise that you will be welcomed with Southern Hospitality once you arrive in the Greater Knoxville area.
