Testimonials

Thank you, Tammy and Ed, for your service.  You made it easy and there were no hassles or issues.

Working with Tammy while trying to buy a house was a breeze. She made sure I was one of the first to see a house that came up in my price range and if she was tied up she would call one of her associates. They would generally be available within just a couple of hours to meet with me. Even on Sunday! I never even had to leave a message she always answered the phone whenever I had questions. I will be using Franklin Realty in the future and recommending them to family and friends.

We have been doing business with Ed and Tammy Franklin for 24 years. We could never bought our first house in Dandridge had it not been for their diligence, patience, and genuine concern for our a needs. Over the years they have become friends, not just our realtors. When it came time to sell our home, they gave us a honest evaluation and found a buyer who made us an offer within four hours of looking at our home. They are honest and honorable and always have looked out for the best interest of their client. Nobody knows the East Tennessee market better.

My wife and I have lived and owned homes in several states. When listing our homes for sale, we always felt it important to interview Realtors before property was listed. In all our engagements with Realtors, Tammy and Ed Franklin far exceeded any other real estate sales company. Tammy, Ed, and Franklin Realty Inc staff were outstandingly professional and responsive. Complete written evaluation of property in timely period and always kept well informed during complete process. Whether selling or buying property, we would highly recommend anyone to use their services.

As an out of town investor, it is so important to have someone I can trust locally. Tammy is that person. She knows the area and knows what to look for to make sure she is helping me invest where and how I should be. I trust her completely, and suggest that anyone looking at real estate contact her.

Our experience with Franklin Realty was superb! Tammy is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She represents her community extremely well and her knowledge of the area was greatly appreciated. She listened to what we were looking for. She spent hours and hours with us. The house we purchased wasn’t even on our “to look at” list. She took a chance and showed it to us. We believe it was meant to be. Tammy gives of her time without ever complaining. We would highly, highly recommend Franklin Realty. Tammy and Ed understand the buyer and worked diligently with us – really way more than we expected – especially handling a lot of little details for us that we had not even considered. Being an out-of-state buyer Tammy and Ed have truly been invaluable. We are so glad we had them working for us and we feel we will have friends when we move to Tennessee.

My wife and I found our “forever farm” in East Tennessee and Tammy and Ed Franklin represented us through the entire purchase process. They worked hard to ensure all our due diligence questions were promptly answered and all contract timelines were on schedule. We ALWAYS felt they had our best interest at heart. Truly a blessing to know them and work with them to make our farm life a reality. It’s easy to see why they’re so successful and well liked in the Dandridge community.

Tammy and Ed Franklin were a pleasure to work with. They are well respected in the area and provided excellent advice. Tammy is an excellent communicator, very responsive and followed up with feedback from each showing.

As executor of my late father’s estate, I was charged with the responsibility of selling the custom built home that he built and lived in for 45 years. I planned to request proposals from three realtors and pick one to list the house. After listening to five realtors and still not hearing a plan that I felt confident in, someone suggested Franklin Realty. Tammy and Ed had the most professional approach and we quickly agreed on a plan and a price that I felt comfortable with. Tammy kept close contact with me and helped me work through some unexpected developments even while she was on vacation. In less than three weeks we had a purchase agreement for the asking price plus an excellent offer for two additional lots adjacent to the house. I am confident that had I gone through another realtor I would have had to settle for less. For anyone looking for a realtor in this area, I would recommend Tammy Franklin as my first choice.

Tammy is a wonderful realtor! She is personable and professional and always accommodated us even with her demanding schedule. She listened to what we needed and wanted in a home and navigated us through the purchase of our dream home. We are very thankful for her! Highly recommend her or her husband to anyone in the area looking for a home or selling their home. She is very knowledgeable about the area and about realty as a whole. She is a gem!

HIGHLY recommend Franklin Realty! As a small business owner, I very much appreciate and respect the fact that they are very responsive and concerned with every aspect of their business. From responding on the weekends to FaceTiming us as they walked new properties, Tammy & Ed DO NOT leave any stone unturned. They were very patient with us as we changed our minds multiple times, trying to find the perfect property for our family. We live out of town and I KNOW we wouldn't have successfully found the right property without their help. With their assistance and in-depth knowledge, we found the exact lakefront property we were looking for!

Tammy was our realtor when we bought our lake lot in Dandridge in 2004, so when we decided to list our lake house and move closer to family, we didn’t hesitate to ask her to list it! She and Ed are very personable, very professional, and communicated everything throughout the process. They know the whole area very well, and will go above and beyond to help you. Their whole staff is exceptional! It was our pleasure to have known them, to have worked with them, and to have them as our friends.
