Her ability to evaluate both primary residence suitability and investment potential makes her a trusted advisor in one of the most dynamic real estate regions in the country.

Karah’s core service areas include Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Dandridge, Jefferson City, Knoxville, Morristown, Cosby, and Newport.

Karah works alongside her husband, Rick, who is also a licensed real estate agent. Together, they form a dedicated husband-and-wife team known for their honesty, availability, and commitment to exceptional service.

Buyers and sellers benefit from having two experienced agents working together to protect their interests and streamline every step of the process.

Beyond real estate, Karah is a proud wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoys spending time with her three daughters and four grandchildren, and loves fishing and boating on East Tennessee’s lakes — a lifestyle she enjoys sharing with clients who are discovering the area for the first time.

Whether you’re buying a home, selling a property, or investing in the Smoky Mountains, Karah and Rick deliver clear guidance, strategic marketing, and a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.
