Realty Executives Associates has opened a downtown office that captures the edgy energy of Knoxville\u2019s center city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realtors Emily Stevens and Bailey Rose are the founders\/owners of Realty Executives Downtown<\/a>, located at 323 Union Ave. Both are eager to connect with the downtown community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got three huge windows, said Stevens. \u201cWe\u2019re going to showcase an artist each month and on First Friday, we\u2019ll host an open house with the artist.\u201d In September, for instance, they collaborated with the Knoxville History Center to display photos of Knoxville then and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose and Stevens use the space as a hybrid office for a business they own with Emilie Stooksbury \u2013 New2Knox.com and Moving2Knox.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe love Knoxville and we want to help others love our city,\u201d said Rose. \u201cWe do not say to new home buyers, \u2018Here\u2019s your key; bye.\u2019 We want to help new homeowners make friends and find their way around the city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their REA website separates listings by area and highlights the special nature of each neighborhood. \u201cWhether you\u2019re moving across the country or across the county, we can\u2019t wait to help you fall more in love with this sweet Scruffy City \u2013 starting with a beautiful place to call home,\u201d said Stevens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realty Executives Downtown is a \u201cpowered brand\u201d offered by REA. Experienced brokers operate their agency under the REA umbrella and gain the benefits of the national brand. \u201cI love it,\u201d said Rose. \u201cThey create so much community among powered brand owners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I first met with Bailey and Emily, it quickly became apparent there was a cultural match with Realty Executives and their philosophy of caring for agents well,\u201d said Justin Bailey, chief executive officer of REA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been looking at different parts of town to ensure our agents are equipped to service clients in each specific neighborhood. In that effort, we have always felt we were missing a presence downtown. Our agents were doing plenty of business there but we hadn\u2019t figured out a way to provide them brick and mortar. When Emily and Bailey approached us, it was almost prophetic that they wanted to open a downtown location. The timing, mixed with how well they fit our culture, was just ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women understand being new to Knoxville. Bailey Rose moved here from Texas in 2019. Emily Stevens came to attend UT and never left. Emilie Stooksbury moved to Knoxville in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since opening the downtown office in February 2022, REA Downtown has added four agents and is looking to add another 4-6 by year\u2019s end, said Rose. Those new agents can live anywhere, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really believe in them,\u201d said Justin Bailey. \u201cI think their hearts are in a great place with their desire to be servant leaders in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
