Moving to the Smoky Mountains

Moving to the Smoky Mountains becomes a dream of many of the 13-14 million visitors to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.  The mountain communities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Wears Valley, Townsend, and Cosby all offer great opportunities for mountain lovers. Due to the nature of the fabric of the communities, service jobs are available throughout, although there are opportunities for nearly every type of worker.  Housing can be difficult to find.  Whether you are looking to rent or purchase a home, we want to recommend a few of the businesses we know that will help you make the move to the Smokies if that is a goal for you.

Housing

Will you be renting or owning?  Young couples, families, retirees, and singles all find the Smoky Mountains to be a good choice for relocating.  We can offer some suggestions for both considerations.  If you are considering leasing a place in the area, allow us to recommend the team at
All Pro Group in Sevierville, TN.
This team is one that offers a variety of services with exemplary reviews on the services they offer.  Leasing a home through the All Pro Group is possible, check the website: https://www.appms.us and see that they have rental housing available.  Also, you will notice that they have 2 different storage options available, All Pro Storage and Wall Street Storage.  Both are in good locations you can feel comfortable with.

The Meadows Sevierville
The Meadows Sevierville offers affordable 2 bedroom apartments that are also in a great location in Sevierville, Tennessee.  Likely, when you request you will be placed on a waiting list, so just a bit of preplanning for your move is a good plan.

Buying

The following businesses we recommend if you are considering purchasing a home in the Smokies are companies we know well and feel very comfortable recommending.  The housing market in the Smokies is much like it is everywhere else where inventory is low and demand is high.  We highly recommend working with a Realtor who can keep an eye out for you in the MLS and help you be on top of the opportunities the area brings.

Mountain Realty Group
Mountain Realty Group is an incredible team, located in the Wears Valley area of the Smokies, but working throughout all of the communities you think of when you think of the Smokies.  East Tennessee is their area of service.  Mountain Realty Group is a group of caring professionals who work hard to walk with you step by step through the processes of your home purchase with you in mind all the way.  People in the area love the team from Mountain Realty Group.  They are a core part of the Wears Valley Community thanks to the many relationships they have built along the way.

The Terrell-Drager Team with Prime Mountain Properties

Good to Know:

Other businesses we work with and can recommend include Bank of England Mortgage, Tennessee, owned and run by Debbie Scarantino.  She is a veteran in the loan business and is the one you need when purchasing a home in the area.  Whether it is a single-family home for residents or an investment in an STR home, Debbie will walk you through each step to success and closing.

Lastly, when it is a local title company you need, we can recommend an awesome company also by the name of Magnolia Title. Donn and her team are incredible. When it is time for closing, or it is the information you need on a property search, Donna and the team at Magnolia Title are the folks you want to speak with.

As of writing, it has been 30 years since our move to the Smoky Mountains from Nebraska.  We came for a job at Dollywood that was a good 20 years of our time here.  We are a marketing company that works with many companies and our goal is to bring these small companies to light as they are treasures once discovered.

Good luck with your Move to the Smoky Mountains.
