I purchased this business for a two-fold purpose: To make a difference in how the public perceives Realtors, and to assist the agents in my company so they may Excel and achieve all they desire within their career path. There is one key I brought with me into this position of Broker/Owner and will continue to hold onto. That is allowing God to guide our company corporately and direct our paths individually. At Mountain Realty we work hard, pray much and help our clients reach their “Peak” of satisfaction. We’re here to help Sellers accomplish their goal, and Buyers to “Love Where You Live”!

Personifying the company’s mantra, Joe truly does love where he lives. The Great Smoky Mountain area has been his lifelong home. He spent brief periods of time in other areas of the country during his military service and while he was an over-the-road truck driver. The time spent away just magnified his love for East Tennessee.
He enjoys spending time in the beautiful outdoors with his daughter and they spend a lot of his spare time together doing anything that keeps them outside.
Like all the rest of the Mountain Realty Group, he can help clients who want to buy or sell their home. He considers his co-workers more like his “work family” and they all help each other share their love and excitement for this gorgeous area of the great state of Tennessee.

Jeromy came to Mountain Realty Group after a successful career in the nonprofit sector, where he served as the Vice President of Innovation for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. After years of travel, he’s decided to hang up his wings and remain in Wears Valley full-time. He and his wife, Lesley, work together to super-serve clients and customers.
Through their popular Mountain Chick Cafe they offer unique, in-person marketing options to locals and tourists hungry for both good food and a mountain home. Stop in to the cafe and you’re likely to see a home for sale stapled to customer orders or a poster for a land listing on the front wall. They use everything at their disposal to both locate and sell homes, and would love to do the same for you.

I grew up in South Knoxville and have always enjoyed the Smoky Mountains. My brother-in-law brought Neva Waite and me together. I had one meeting with her and almost instantly knew that Mountain Realty Group was a perfect place for me. I had another meeting with the whole group and Whamo! I hung my license with Mountain Realty Group. I had a change in life with my amputation and made another change in life on a career.
I enjoy helping people and making people smile. Buying a new home, land, rental or commercial property is a big decision. My goal is to make it enjoyable, and for every person I come in contact with to feel at ease with their purchase.

I joined Mountain Realty Group in the March of 2021.
When it comes to a real estate investment in the Smokies, truer words have never been spoken. Having dreamt of owning my own little piece of God’s country since well before I could even spell it, it’s truly a blessing to finally be able to call myself a “local”! Whether it be the endless supply of opportunities for making lasting memories with your friends and loved ones, the natural beauty of the national park; itself, or the welcoming southern hospitality of the local residents, our slogan holds true. You will absolutely “love where you live”! I know I do! Whether you are looking for a vacation home, an investment property, or simply a peaceful place to retire, I would be delighted in the opportunity to guide you along the way to finding your own beautiful piece of Smoky Mountain joy.
I’m born and raised in rural Southwestern Ohio.It is a lot like here, just without the beautiful mountains!
Before settling down here, I was an agent for Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs. Before that, I used my background in education to take care of my own 5 children, as well as those of my good friends and neighbors.
During my first month here as a Smoky Mountain local, everyone in my family was having bear sightings but me. I was completely jealous! I was even going out of my way to try to see them but as it was getting later into the fall, none were out waiting to be found. One afternoon, I was up measuring our loft for bunk beds. As I pulled the measuring tape across the window sill, I glanced out at the dead log that sits directly across from it. Sitting on that log, in an almost human-like position, was the biggest bear I’d ever seen! He was just sitting there taking in the show. After a double-take, I squealed for everyone to come to see which of course set the dogs off to barking. My squeal of delight hadn’t scared him away but the bark of a yappy Papillon sure did. Now every time I pass that window I look out to see if he’s watching out for me as much as I was watching out for him.
A big move or financial investment can be a little scary but please know that your friends at Mountain Realty Group are here for you! With all the experience and know-how you’ll need, (and some positive reassurance along the way) we’ll help find the perfect property for you and get you from contract to closing as smoothly as possible.
Kathrine Edmunds
A citizen of the unique, nothing-quite-like-it-in-Sevier-County community of Kodak, TN, Kathrine Edmands very much enjoys the overall region of the Eastern Tennessee Smokies and looks forward to being a part of bringing new individuals and families to the area so they can share the same awesome experience.
Real Estate is Kathrine’s first and foremost career and ambition having been interested in the industry and what it can do for helping others since she was a teenager. We are very pleased to have Kathrine as part of the Mountain Realty Group and we are sure our clients present and future will be pleased she is part of us as well!
I really enjoy the lovely people in this community, especially the team members at Mountain Realty Group. I really love working with individuals that genuinely care about their clients and are committed to making sure they love where they live.
When I was a teenager I got in my first wreck, and I was devastated. I was probably in my car for about 5 seconds before the other person involved got out and gave me hug. They checked on me, sat with me, and told me stories to make me laugh until the very nice police officer arrived to help us. During that time, countless people stopped on the side of the road to check on us, pray for us, and offer their assistance.
I don’t think I could ever find a better community than the one I live in now. These are some of the nicest people on the planet.
Really take time to enjoy the scenery here. It can really change your perspective on life to take a break, relax, and enjoy nature. Also, supporting small businesses is something you will never regret. The locals here are so kind and eager to help; it’s really a joy to be able to give back to the people that make this community so great!
