I have been working with David Parker with Coldwell Banker Nelson Realtors for almost 3 years now, buying and selling homes.  David has always been great to work with.  Very accommodating, straight shooter, and always helpful along the way.  He and his associates make the home buying and selling process a breeze--couldn't be in better hands!

Buying and selling home is both an exciting and a stressful time. We were fortunate to have Kathy and her experience to help guide us through our recent selling of our east TN property. She kept us apprised of what needed to be done and by whom, and walked with us through the closing process that allowed us to complete our purchase of a new property out of state to be closer to family with the confidence that we were always aware of our status within our contractual obligations. Her attention to us and our interests were comforting during a busy time, and we are grateful that we chose her for representation.

David Parker has facilitated multiple investment real estate purchases and sales for me. His attention to detail is unmatched in the industry. He works harder than any real estate agent I’ve ever worked with and finds me the best properties and best buyers. He answers his phone, he’s on time, he is always thinking one step ahead of me, and he is amazing with potential buyers. He is a true professional in the industry and sets the bar for all other agents to be measured by.

I am the executor of my mother's estate and I live in North Carolina, but my Mom lived in Maryville, Tenn. I interviewed five agents including Kathy to choose the best agent to sell my Mom's home. Kathy was the clear winner of the interview process and I never doubted that I made the right choice. Kathy has been a joy to work with. Kathy was always willing to go the extra mile and handle coordinating visits, and repairs...and also checking on the status of activities/security around the house. If I had another home to sell, I would skip the interview process and call Kathy Parker, she is the best.

We had land to sell, and most realtors will tell you that selling land is altogether a different ballgame from selling a house. We needed someone with expertise and a good sales record. When we talked with Kathy, she mentioned the term we were looking for: ‘a good negotiator.’ She got our 8 lots sold within a 6-month time frame! And just as important: We met our sales goal. We’re so glad we found Kathy!

David Parker helped my family relocate from Ohio to Blount County, near Maryville, as our Realtor. Both my wife and I were at peace with all of David’s advice through the process.

My wife and I lucked out finding Kathy to work with to help us purchase a second home near the Smoky Mountains. She is, without a doubt, one of the most professional, responsive, delightful, accommodating, and persistent people we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Kathy was creative in working through issues before they became barriers to our plans. Before, during and after the sale, she has made sure we can enjoy our new home in Blount County. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

We have used Kathy Parker numerous times. Over several years we have sold 3 houses and 4 lots with Kathy's help. We have also purchased 2 homes and a lot using Kathy as our realtor. I can't imagine calling anyone else. Kathy has protected our interest every time. She will often end up doing the work in a transaction that the other realtor has failed to do-thus saving the deal. Her ability to write a contract has spared us many misunderstandings and hassles in a negotiation. We have been in our current home 6 months when an issue came up with our builder. All was settled when we said, "Look at our contract. " All thanks to Kathy Parker.
