Blake Rickels has exceeded my expectations twice. First as my listing agent six years ago. He sold my home for full asking price in THREE days in my subdivision that had not sold any homes in the recent past. AND I was out of state and he handled everything for me. Seamlessly. Now I’ve moved back to Knoxville and needed to purchase a home quickly in this difficult market. He found the perfect place and negotiated for me to buy it (with many competing offers) in FIVE days. He also got a closing in FOURTEEN days. Again, miraculous in this market. He has even provided references for excellent contractors to remodel the home in a reasonable timeframe. The most amazing thing about Blake is that he cares. He truly cares. It doesn’t matter to him if you are a buyer or seller or if you are a $200,00 buyer or a million dollar buyer. You are treated exactly the same. I’m so grateful for him. I believe he has realtor superpowers and the heart of a giant. You cannot go wrong with Blake Rickels.

Blake is a consummate real estate professional. As out of town buyers, Blake’s knowledge of West Knoxville was invaluable in our search for a new home. He kept us informed through every step of the purchase and helped us find local vendors. And he helped to make the closing process go smoothly. We would recommend Blake to anyone looking for real estate in the Knoxville area.

Blake and I have worked together on several real estate projects. He is honest and always has his client’s best interest in mind. Blake is always available and responsive to our requests and calls. Thank you sir for your great client service. Looking forward to many more.

We used Blake to buy our home 5 years ago and he was professional and very patient. We were very happy with the home that we found and it was perfect for our growing family. He kept helping us even after we moved in whenever we had questions.
Recently, we decided it was time to move on to another home and so we went back to Blake to sell our home. He was so helpful, taking care of things after we had moved out, making sure that the house was cared for until the closing. And everything went so smoothly with the closing, even with us out of town, because he had prepared everything beforehand.
Blake is exactly the kind of realtor you want in this process.

I just closed on a new home, and Blake made the process of finding a home as seamless as possible. I was relocating to Knoxville, and wasn’t able to come into town to see houses in person, so Blake met up with my parents and allowed them to see the houses for me. Throughout the whole process, Blake was in constant communication with me and did whatever he could to help get me the best deal possible. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Blake was extremely helpful and easy to work with. He made sure I was comfortable with every decision that was made and answered my endless questions. I would recommend the Blake Rickels group to anyone who is looking to purchase a home!
