Kristie Hopwood

Realty Executives Associates

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
I’m a lifelong Knoxville local and East Tennessee real estate agent with nearly five years of experience helping buyers and sellers navigate one of life’s biggest decisions. I’ve closed 37 transactions totaling over $13.6 million in sales, including many first-time buyers and clients relocating to the Knoxville/East Tennessee area.

Before real estate, I spent almost 20 years as a teacher—experience that directly shapes how I serve my clients today. I specialize in educating first-time buyers and guiding relocation clients with clarity, patience, and confidence, so nothing feels overwhelming or rushed. You’ll always understand the process, your options, and what to expect next.

I offer a hands-on, full-service experience with strong local market knowledge, strategic pricing, professional marketing, and consistent communication from start to finish. As a sixth-generation Tennessean with deep community roots, I’m passionate about helping clients feel truly at home in East Tennessee.

Absolutely amazing, personable communication, and extremely organized!! My husband and I have partnered with Kristie twice to purchase a home and loved our experience. Kristie genuinely listened to what we wanted and made it happen. She is always prepared with the required documents, processes, next steps, literally anything - SheÂ’s always on top of it! WeÂ’ve also referred Kristie to multiple family members and theyÂ’ve all had the same experience. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or manage real estate!

Kristie was great. A friendly face in a sea of strangers after our move from Ohio. She helped us find our new home keeping in mind our needs, desires and budget. She facilitated finding inspectors, etc. needed for our purchase and was always game no matter where we found to look for our potential new home.
