From the Founder:

I need someone who can build a new brick mailbox off Washington Pike. I'm thinking a mason, probably.

I am taking recomendations for someone who runs mulching machines and can do simple pre-listing land clearance. Location will be varied but currently need someone who serves Loudon & Morgan county.

Who do you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Looking at land in Blount County? Before you fall in love with the view, check the dirt. In Blount County, the soil has to pass for a septic system before you can get a building permit. The address decides which of three school districts you're in. And Maryville and Alcoa add city taxes on top of the county rate.

We put together a simple guide to taxes, schools, zoning, and the permit steps, plus a checklist to use before you make an offer.

Not sure if you want to build or buy a home that's ready now? Blake and Melony on our residential team can show you both. [link in comments]

What does your perfect Saturday look like? A morning walk by the river? Nine holes and lunch at the clubhouse? The kids' ball game, then burgers on the back
porch?

Your answer says a lot about where you'd be happiest around Knoxville. We compared Farragut, Sequoyah Hills, and Avalon by what everyday life actually looks like in each one. Moving here from out of state? Our residential agents Blake and Melony would love to help you find your spot. [link in comments]

You've typed your address into a home value website. Maybe more than once. And the number that came back didn't feel right.

It's one of the most common questions we hear: what is my home actually worth? And it's never just about the money. It's the house where you raised your kids, hosted the holidays, and finally got the kitchen just the way you wanted it.

In Farragut, Sequoyah Hills, and Avalon, online estimates miss a lot. They can't see your updates, they don't know which streets sell differently, and they rarely give your lot the credit it deserves.

We broke down what really drives home values in each neighborhood, and how to get a number you can trust. [link in comments] ⬇

Inherited land in East Tennessee and don't know where to start? You're not alone. One of the most common calls we get is exactly this: someone just lost a parent or grandparent, and now there's land, and nobody handed them a manual for what happens next.

We broke down what actually has to happen, in order, specific to how Tennessee counties handle it: probate, getting the deed transferred, what you will (and won't) owe in taxes, and what to think through before you decide to sell.

Good news first: Tennessee doesn't have a state inheritance tax. Read the rest of what you need to know 👇 [link in comments]

🌄 Two Days. Some of East Tennessee’s Best Land. And the People Who Know It Best.

What does it really look like to get out on the ground with the people who buy, sell, develop, farm, invest in, and understand Tennessee land?

You’re invited to find out. For free.

From August 30–September 1, land professionals from across the country will gather in Knoxville for two days of touring some of East Tennessee’s finest recreational, agricultural, investment, and working properties.

This isn’t a conference where you sit in a ballroom listening to presentations.

It’s boots-on-the-ground.

🚙 Side-by-sides.
🛻 Trucks and Jeeps.
🌳 Acreage you may never otherwise get to see.
🤝 Conversations with the people actually working in the land business.
🍽️ Dinners and fellowship at the end of the day.
🏔️ And a closing trail ride at Windrock Park.

Over two days, participants will tour hand-selected properties, see different types of East Tennessee land firsthand, and get a closer look at how land professionals evaluate opportunities across the region.

And that’s where this gets interesting for people outside the real estate industry.

If you own land, invest in real estate, develop property, farm, hunt, recreate, lend money, provide professional services, work with landowners—or simply have an interest in East Tennessee’s land and development market—this is a unique opportunity to meet the people who make those deals happen.

You’ll get to see the land.

You’ll get to ask questions.

And more importantly, you’ll get to build relationships with people who are actively working in one of the most interesting land markets in the Southeast.

📅 The Schedule

Sunday, August 30 -

Long-distance travelers arrive in Knoxville.
🍽️ Group dinner at Tennessee Tap House — 6:00 PM

Monday, August 31 -

🚙 Tour departs from Element Knoxville West at 7:30 AM
🌄 Four property stops
🥪 Breakfast and lunch provided on tour
🤝 Afternoon return to Knoxville
🍽️ Dinner & fellowship

Tuesday, September 1 -

🚙 Tour resumes at 8:00 AM
🌄 Morning property tours
🏔️ Head to Windrock Park by 12:30 PM
🔥 Closing trail ride
🏁 Tour concludes at 4:00 PM

There is no cost to attend beyond your hotel stay.

The tour will kick off from:

📍 Element Knoxville West
400 North Peters Road
Knoxville, TN

Got a UTV side-by-side? Bring it.

Prefer a truck or Jeep? Those are welcome too.

Whether you’re a land professional looking to expand your network or someone who simply wants to get closer to the people, properties, and opportunities shaping East Tennessee—you’ll want to be part of this.

The Land & Legacy Group is proud to be part of bringing people together around one of East Tennessee’s greatest assets: the land itself.

✨ Top-rated schools
🚗 Convenient access to Knoxville, Oak Ridge & the airport
🛍️ Upscale shopping and dining at Turkey Creek
