About Trent Hoots
For Trent Hoots, real estate has never been simply about houses and transactions. It’s about people, relationships, and helping someone find a place they can truly call home.
Born and raised in South Mississippi, Trent moved to Knoxville in 2001 and quickly came to love East Tennessee and the people who call it home. He married his wife, Kim Brooks, in 2002, and together they have raised their two children, Tayten and Kinsley, in East Tennessee.
Trent began his real estate career in 2003 and has spent more than two decades helping buyers and sellers navigate some of the biggest decisions of their lives. His experience includes serving as both a real estate broker and managing broker, giving him a depth of knowledge and perspective developed through years of changing markets and a wide variety of real estate transactions.
Coming from a family of veterans, Trent has a deep appreciation for the men and women who have served our country. Working with veterans and their families is one of his favorite and most meaningful parts of real estate. After the sacrifices they have made in service to our country, Trent considers it a privilege to serve them in return—helping them understand their options, navigate the home-buying process, and find a place they can proudly call home.
First-time homebuyers also hold a special place in Trent’s heart. He understands that buying your first home can be both exciting and overwhelming. Trent believes first-time buyers deserve patience, education, and someone willing to take the time to answer their questions and guide them through every step—from their first showing to the moment they receive the keys to their new home.
Today, Trent is proud to be with Realty Executives Associates and to bring his experience and personal approach to Home Ground.
Home Ground reflects Trent’s connection to East Tennessee and his belief that real estate is about much more than a property. From neighborhoods and family homes to acreage, farms, and land, Trent understands that where we live becomes part of our story.
Away from real estate, Trent enjoys spending time with his family and taking advantage of the outdoor lifestyle that makes East Tennessee such a special place to live. Hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking are all part of his love for the outdoors and his appreciation for the land, mountains, and natural beauty of the region he calls home.
Whether someone is a veteran looking to put their hard-earned benefits to work, buying their very first home, selling a home filled with years of memories, relocating to East Tennessee, or searching for land, Trent’s approach remains the same: listen first, give straightforward advice, and treat people the way he would want his own family to be treated.

Areas I Serve
East Tennessee is more than where I do business—it’s home.
Based in Knoxville, I serve buyers and sellers throughout Knoxville, Knox County, and the surrounding East Tennessee communities. My work takes me from established neighborhoods and growing suburban communities to small towns, rural properties, farms, and acreage throughout the region.
I particularly enjoy helping clients explore everything East Tennessee has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a home close to downtown Knoxville, a neighborhood convenient to schools and everyday life, a little more space outside the city, or acreage where you can enjoy the outdoors, I can help you find the area and property that fit the way you want to live.
My service area includes Knoxville and communities throughout Knox and surrounding counties, including areas such as Farragut, Hardin Valley, Powell, Halls, Karns, Corryton, Fountain City, Oak Ridge, Clinton, Maryville, Alcoa, Lenoir City, Loudon, and other communities across the greater Knoxville and East Tennessee region.
Having called East Tennessee home since 2001, I’ve watched this area grow and change while still holding onto the character, natural beauty, and sense of community that make it such a special place to live.
Whether you’re already an East Tennessean or you’re considering making this area your new home, I’d love the opportunity to help you find your place here.

My Real Estate Specialties
With more than two decades of real estate experience in East Tennessee, I work with buyers and sellers across a wide range of real estate needs, with a focus on providing experienced, personal guidance from the first conversation through closing.
First-Time Homebuyers
Helping first-time buyers is one of the most rewarding parts of my business. Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, and I believe my job is to make the process understandable. I take the time to explain each step, answer questions, help buyers understand their options, and make sure they feel confident rather than pressured when making such an important decision.
Residential Buyers & Sellers
Whether you’re searching for your next home or preparing to sell one, I bring more than 20 years of experience to the process. Every client and property is different, so my approach is built around understanding your goals and developing a strategy specifically for you.
Land & Acreage
East Tennessee offers incredible opportunities for buyers looking beyond a traditional neighborhood. I enjoy helping clients search for acreage, homes with land, recreational property, and that special piece of East Tennessee they can make their own.
Relocation to East Tennessee
Having moved to Knoxville myself and made East Tennessee home, I understand what it means to start somewhere new. I enjoy helping people discover the communities, neighborhoods, land, and lifestyle that make this region such a great place to live.
Experience You Can Rely On
Since beginning my real estate career in 2003, I have served as both a real estate broker and managing broker. That experience allows me to bring more than sales knowledge to the table. My goal is to help clients understand the process, anticipate potential issues, negotiate effectively, and make informed decisions throughout their transaction.
Whether you’re buying your first home, moving across town, relocating to East Tennessee, selling a longtime family home, or searching for a little more room to call your own, I’d be honored to help you find your Home Ground.
