We are so lucky to have Shelby Brooks as our realtor and as a friend now. She was very professional and quick in responding to all our questions. She was on the top of the process of building our house. Shelby led us always in the right direction and was available anytime to talk for us. I highly recommend her as your realtor in house hunting in the Knoxville area.

Shelby Brooks is a firecracker of a realtor! She helped us buy and sell our home in Knoxville, Tennessee. She is honest, hardworking, detail oriented, and keenly savvy when it comes to negotiations. Shelby went the extra mile when it came to checking the boxes on our wants list and also avoiding things we didn't. She is straight forward and makes it a point not to waste time on showing you properties that don't fit your bill.

The only exception to that would be if she found a property that might exceed your expectations and is within your budget. Her customer care is exquisite. She is thoughtful and somehow perfectly balances getting stuff done and respecting boundaries. She makes the entire process seamless, comfortable, and easy. Shelby is realtor gold. If she's available, book in while you can. You won't be disappointed.

I have known Blake for many years, so when it came time for me to purchase my first home, I knew right then I wanted Blake as my realtor. I respect and trusted him in helping us make the right decisions. He listened to both my husband and my needs/wants when we were looking for our home. He is very knowledgeable and knows the market well. He is patient, kind, and honest. He is most definitely someone you want on your side when it comes to buying a house. He gets the job done!

I have used Blake Rickels for all of my real estate needs. He is a great person and a trust worthy agent. I like how he does business and I respect his candor. Blake gets the job done and I am ALWAYS happy with the buying and selling of homes. He got my first home under contract within one week and the second home was under contract in a day with a price I was HAPPY with. EVERYONE loves Blake because he is easy going.

When choosing a realtor you have to chose someone that people genuinely like and BLAKE is that GUY! He has a great team of agents, too and his wife Cindy also helped out and answered my questions and assisted my movers. They are just both GREAT people and I will always choose Blake as my agent. Always! He is a great person and honestly, has been a friend because I was not in town and he helped out even after closing. Just a great, quality person and human being. I value him. his time.and his patience! GO TEAM BLAKE! THEY ARE # 1! Chat Conversation End Type a message.

Blake recently help me list and sell my home. He made the process so easy especially during the negotiation and home inspection process. Blake suggested a contractor, Josh Kimsey, to take care of some of the home inspection items and Josh did an outstanding job. Everyone Blake works with or recommends is always top notch. My closing happened to fall on a day that I had to go out of town for a funeral, Blake was able to have the title company make a last minute meeting for me to sign my paperwork before I went out of town and not hold up the closing process. I would highly recommend Blake Rickels to anyone who in the market to sell or buy a home.

We have had the opportunity to work with Shelby Brooks twice. She was our realtor when we bought our beautiful first home and when we made the hard decision to sale it. Shelby has been wonderful to work with. She is every attentive to all questions and concerns. She made selling our home in TN, while living in NC, a lot easier for us. We are thankful for her and her hard work!

I have used Blake for 3 home purchases. He has always been great. He is very knowledgeable of the market. He is honest about the houses. He makes the process easy. He is also great on the listing side. He sold our last house in 10 days with multiple offers. If you want a realtor you can trust. Blake is your realtor.

Blake was truly awesome to work with! He listed and sold my home in record time, and was there throughout the entire process to help in anyway he could. Buying or selling a home can be a stressful process, but with Blake's knowledge, responsiveness, and go-getter mentality, the process was seamless and stress free! If you are in need of a realtor in the Knoxville area, look no further, Blake is your guy! I cannot recommend him enough.

Making the decision to utilize the ultimate talents and master negotiating skills of Blake Rickles was the absolute right choice. He took his time spending several hours assessing my home before making excellent suggestions on upgrades and staging that would catch a buyers eye, and they did. His on point and timely communication is extremely valuable in a fast paced world, especially the one I live in where I work most of all of my time.

I was only looking to sell my house at this time, and Blake went above and beyond to make it happen. And he made it happen fast! I appreciate him for I know that Blake did things for me that I am confident that another broker would not have been available to do. His advice was priceless, and I can't say how thankful and grateful I am to have hired him to sell my home.

If you are looking for a true talent and want your home to sell, hire Blake Rickles. There is no question that you will be more than satisfied with the results of his hard work.

Best. Experience. Ever. Y'all, use Blake! He was the most professional, honest, extremely knowledgeable and all around best realtor we have worked with. He really understood what we were looking for and we now live in the perfect home for our family. He came highly recommended by 4 different friends, and he certainly did not disappoint. There is a reason he is one of the top realtors in Knoxville!

After being frustrated and disappointed from a previous realtor; I had the extreme pleasure of being introduced to Blake Rickels. The first day my home was listed, I had 7 appointments to show it. Blake is extremely communicative, responsive and definitely has your best interest at heart. In my experience, he went above and beyond to make sure that my house was sold with 100% satisfaction. If you are in need of a realtor, I HIGHLY recommend Blake Rickels!

Blake Rickels was born and raised in Tennessee, and because of this, he has intimate knowledge of the housing market. We interviewed him because of this, but we hired him because of his warmth, attentiveness, and responsiveness. Blake believes in the personal touch. When you need something, it will be Blake with whom you interact. He offered excellent suggestions for preparing our home for sale. We sold relatively quickly in a slow market for sellers. I highly recommend Blake Rickels for all of your housing needs.

Our home buying experience with Blake was second to none. He listened to what we needed and wanted in our new home, and did not waste time showing us houses that weren't a good fit. If you are looking for an agent that will take a laid back approach while efficiently getting you through the home buying process, I would strongly recommend contacting Blake.

Blake did a great job marketing our home in Knoxville. He was very professional and especially skillful in obtaining and using photos online that presented the property effectively. He also communicated well throughout the process and was always responsive to texts, phone calls and emails. Our home sold at a fair price in a reasonable amount of time given market conditions.

Anyone in the process of an executive relocation or new to the Knoxville area should use Blake Rickels as your realtor. We contacted Blake as we were working through our relo from Ft Lauderale to Farragut (West Knoxville) and he made the process extremely easy. His follow up was quick, he actually listened to us and found us the perfect home that met all of our needs, which is not an easy task. We will use him for all future real estate needs and would recommend him to my family and friends. -Taylor Wilson
