Kathy

2023 RealTrends Top Agent

Most of my free time is spent with my wonderful family.  Some of my favorite activities include camping and just being in nature in this beautiful area I live in.  Of course, I participate in all the activities with the grandchildren…basketball, softball, baseball, ballet, cheerleading, dance, swim team and the list goes on and on.

I also enjoy the local culture, visiting all the local shops and the great restaurants and eateries.  You can find some of my favorite recommendations  here.  You will also discover that I am a huge animal lover!  A new Jack Russell pup named Ellie and an African Grey Parrot named Grey Lady are just a part of my animal family. Antiquing and basket weaving are things I love to do as well.

I was Coldwell Bankers’ Top Agent for the State of TN in 2009 and 2015.  In 2023 I received the President Circle Award and was Coldwell. Banker Nelson’s Top Agent.  I hold the Broker, Certified Residential Specialist and Graduate of Realtor Institute Designations.   All of these require advanced training and education.  The CRS Designation is held by the top 3% of agents nationwide.  It is the highest designation awarded to an agent.

My goal is to make your move whether buying or selling the best experience possible.

David

When I am not working, my time is spent with my wife, Chasity, and two children, Lou and Bodhi.  My hobbies include golfing, (I am a member of Green Meadow Country Club), gravel cycling, and hiking.  I periodically participate in long distance gravel cycling races, and my favorite activity is exploring the local roads and parks cycling.  My family enjoys camping and enjoying all that the local National State Parks have to offer!

I have volunteered as a coach for local youth baseball and softball for the past decade. I have also previously volunteered at the local animal shelter walking dogs awaiting adoption. I am passionate about music and regularly attend concerts and music festivals. I play several instruments including violin, guitar, and bass. I am a product of the Maryville City School system from elementary through high school where I graduated in 2004; having lettered in Baseball, Football, and Orchestra. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Economics from Middle Tennessee State University.

I have been an affiliate real estate broker for the past 13 years with Coldwell Banker Nelson Realtors.  I most recently have received the International Diamond Society award in 2020, and the International Sterling Society award in 2021 for exceptional performance for the year!  I am grateful to all of my clients through the years and have always found fulfillment in having the honor of assisting folks with their real estate needs. It is special for me to be involved with so many families as they grow and flourish in the East Tennessee area, and I find joy in playing a small part in their journeys.

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.
