Looking for a Realtor in NE TN to list my house

Does anyone have a good referral for a Realtor in the Johnson City, Bristol area?  We are looking for an agent to list our home and establish a relationship for future business.  We are currently in the market for a multi family once we sell our home.

Let me explain more about our property for sale.  It is our current home that we turned into a beautiful house hacking rental.  We live in the 4 bedroom, 2 bath main level and rent the fully furnished and newly renovated 3 bedroom, 1 bath daylight basement (complete separate living space).  We have had great fun and made good money on Airbnb!  We now want to use the capital from selling this house and buy a 4 plex (live in one unit and rent the other 3) and possibly a second property.  We love the house, but with all of the kids gone and in college, we don't need this 7 (actually 8) bedroom house. Having tried it out on this property, we are now ready to scale up.

Please let me know if you know a good Realtor in my area. 

Here is my Airbnb Ad for the basement rental:

Here is a listing we started with another Realtor, but had to cancel due to conflict of interest.  Nothing personal.

The conflict of interest with the listing agent was just that she made an offer to buy it right after we signed her listing agreement, leaving us with no one to represent us or get another opinion on the value.  We respectfully let her go because we felt uncomfortable without representation by a neutral third party who could evaluate the deal without prejudice.

We decided to just start over and let that deal go, starting fresh with a new listing agent.

@Wendy Fate Hi Wendy! I have a great realtor that was recommended to me a couple weeks ago. Her name is Lindsey Cutshaw from Greeneville area. Very on the ball. I recommend you google her for her number and give her a call!

    If you are not familiar, Bluff City is this adorable little town on your way from Johnson City to Bristol TN.  It is quickly becoming a blossoming area for real estate investors.  As nearby Piney Flats takes off, Bluff City is getting it's own facelift with newly paved roads and new water/sewer lines.  It is a charming community with great views and friendly neighbors.  We are 4 miles from Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR track which brings in a lot of revenue.  Message me with any questions or referrals.

    Hi there! My husband is a realtor with Berkshire Hathaway and I would be happy to put you in contact with him. We live in Johnson City. He grew up in Bristol and we both went to ETSU. we are very familiar with the area and the fact that we invest here should be a plus.

    @Wendy Fate

    Turns out Lindsey Cutshaw started out strong, then spent almost all my escrow time on vacation . Her excuse for not communicating was she was out of the country. Couldn’t get a hold of her the last week during closing and had to beg her office to help me get through my first bank owned closing. I told her the listing agent was on the ball to help me if she didn’t want the job, but she insisted she wanted to do it, then 0 hour work week’d me and still got her $. Just a caution for all those who saw my initial strong recommendation.
