Real Estate Investors in Knoxville - Contractor and REALTOR®

[Joey Stephens]

Hi everyone!

My name is Joey, I recently joined this fine forum and decided it’s about time I introduce myself.

I joined BiggerPockets in hopes of developing lasting business relationships with local real estate investors of all experience levels… helping them locate properties, analyze deals, perform rehab work, and assist with selling or leasing.

I’ve lived in Knoxville for almost 20 years now and know the area well. I’m a REALTOR®, home improvement contractor (lic. 7994), and I help manage a portfolio of rental property with my real estate partner at Realty Executives Associates. My family has been in real estate and construction for three generations now. I first got licensed in Real Estate in 2006 and recently obtained my contractor license while managing projects for my family’s general contracting company.

Over the last few years, I’ve spent a great deal of time rehabbing investment houses on the construction side of business while helping clients buy/sell homes on the real estate side. Now that I’ve established my own contracting company, I’m seeking to collaborate with responsible investors on local real estate deals.  Hopefully, combining my services can help eliminate a third party and drive costs down for investors while saving some time in the process.

I’m very easy to work, down-to-earth, and always stick to the numbers/facts. Whether it’s a real estate transaction or a rehab job, I always keep my costs as low as possible to help clients maximize their profit and encourage future projects… I’m in it for the long haul.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, relationships of this nature require massive amounts of trust from everyone involved, and building that trust can take time. I’m eager to earn the trust of everyone I work with, so please, don’t hesitate to contact me for showings, free estimates on repairs/improvements, information on specific Knoxville markets, or anything else that you’d like a second opinion on. I will respond promptly and offer any advice I have.

I can help with conventional sales, REO, Foreclosure, Auctions, etc. I'm licensed and insured to contract all work involved in flipping residential property; my family business can handle commercial (I still manage projects for them).

Thank you for your time and best of luck with all your real estate goals!

Joey
