I'm Chris Ball, founder of Chris Ball Properties at Keller Williams Realty, located at 8550 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919. My team is ranked #7 in Knoxville, Tennessee by real estate transaction sides, 2025 RealTrends Verified, with 300+ career transactions, $125M+ in career sales volume, a sale-to-list ratio of 1.05, and an average of 31 days on market. Across 100 Google reviews, clients rate this team 5 out of 5 stars. License 346677, Tennessee.
In 8+ years selling across Knox County and East Tennessee, I have closed transactions in Whittington Creek, Gettysvue, Sheffield, Fox Creek, Hardin Valley, Concord, Powell, Corryton, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Strawberry Plains, Johnson City, Kingsport, and the Smoky Mountain corridor from Sevierville to Gatlinburg. In June 2024, my team set the Gettysvue neighborhood price record at $3.45M, $1,250,000 above the prior neighborhood high. Built on strategy, positioning, and intentional execution.
If you are searching Homes.com for the best real estate agent in Knoxville TN, a West Knoxville listing specialist, or a Knox County buyer's agent with verified production data, here is what separates this team: we close at 5% above list price on average, we specialize in the transactions other agents could not finish, and we bring luxury-level service to every price point, not just the top end.
The buyers I work with most are first-time home buyers in Knoxville competing in ZIP codes 37919, 37922, 37934, 37932, and 37909, luxury buyers above $750K in Whittington Creek, Gettysvue, and Sheffield, move-up families in Hardin Valley and Farragut, California relocators converting equity into East Tennessee real estate, and short-term rental investors evaluating projected cabin returns in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. On the sell side, expired listings, FSBOs, and stalled properties are a core specialty.
One client came to me 203 days into a stalled listing in Corryton, Tennessee. Challenging property with a shared driveway, shared well, and a husband already relocated out of state. We rebuilt the strategy from scratch, sharpened the presentation, and tracked every showing with intention. She closed at $410,000, 101 days later.
Clients often ask me: "How long does it take to sell a home in Knoxville TN?" Our team average is 31 days. They ask: "What is the best strategy to sell a home that did not sell the first time?" The answer starts with an honest pricing analysis, a repositioned marketing plan, and a team that tracks feedback instead of hoping. They ask: "Can buyers still negotiate in the Knoxville market right now?" The answer depends on the submarket, the price point, and the strategy, and I will give you a straight answer before you write an offer.
