I grew up in the Ft. Myers area,and after two visits I relocated to Maryville, Tn in 1997. I can relate to your desire to escape the heat and congestion typical of most major Florida cities. As an East Tennessee Real Estate Professional, I can help you discover the beauty and slower paced lifestyle that East Tennessee has to offer. The "Foothills of the Smokies" is a wonderful place to live! Contact me, and I'll share with you how I was drawn to this area.
