Ive known Blake for a few years now and can say without a doubt he is one of the top real estate agents in town. Several of my friends have purchased homes through him, and have been extremely happy with the process. I work at a Title Company and work with Blake daily and have never been unimpressed with him. His clients always have raving things to say about him, and most of them stay friends after the home buying/selling process is over. He makes sure to stay involved in all of his deals, and keeps his clients updated on everything so that they rest assured their home buying/selling experience is as smooth as possible. He spends as much time is needed with each individual client, whether it be a single person moving to a new town, a family needing a bigger house to expand their family, or an elderly couple looking to downsize after they become empty nesters. I have seen him dedicate all his time to each client. His is skilled at market research and negotiating in order to find the best fit for his clients. Where Blake stands out to me is in the fact that he doesnt just look for a deal...he wants the best possible situation for his clients and will do whatever it takes to make them happy; it isnt about him, but about the experience for his clients. Hes very outgoing and friendly with an unparalleled professionalism. His end goal is to make his clients comfortable, happy, and relaxed in what can often times be a stressful situation. Out of all the agents that I work with, Blake is the one that I would recommend as he will do anything it takes to sell your house or to find you a perfect new home!

Blake has helped us sell two homes and buy another. He is very nice to work with, very professional, and communicates/responds very well!! He knows the market and is honest about the price and condition of your home, but he allows you to decide what works best for you (where you price and what updates/repairs/staging you want to do). Another thing that sets him apart is his marketing ability. First, the quality of the photos of your home is amazing. It truly markets the home in a very positive light. He is very active in using social media and other web-based marketing. He also uses technology to make showings/listings very convenient to be aware of and confirm. Technology for paperwork is also something convenient he offers. He provides solid advice but doesnt over-advise. He is a consultant, not the decision maker. We found him to be incredibly easy to work with, and most importantly, he succeeds in what you hire him to do. We would recommend Blake to anyone!!

Look no more, you have found the team who is trustworthy, client focused and experienced! I cant thank Blake Rickels and Carly Ponzurick for all their hard work in selling my home in record time. Your excellent service, frequent communication, professionalism and dependability, made the sale process so much easier for me. They made me feel like I was their only client. They are highly personable and I never felt neglected or unimportant. Blake was honest about some minor changes that I needed to make in the house to attract buyers quickly, and his advice worked like a charm. It is so rare in this day to find people with impeccable work ethic and honesty, someone who possesses a sincere desire to strive and deliver a sold home!

I have known and used Blake Rickels for half of a decade. Stumbling upon his services through social media platforms, my experience with Blake has been nothing less than stellar. His professionalism is empowering, his knowledge is astonishing, and his knack for real estate is mind blowing. Anything you thought you may have known, you can chalk up to luck- because he has strategy, reasoning, and science behind his mechanics. If you want a house sold, this is the guy to call. If you want pretty pictures of your house on the internet, call someone else. He needs a sign that says "serious inquiries only", because once youve got him as your realtor, you might as well start packing.

Blake was great to work with. I contacted him while the house was having updates done, before I was even ready to sell. He was very patient as the renovations took much longer than originally expected. As soon as the house was ready we received an offer within 24 hours of being on the market for 99% of our asking price. I would definitely recommend Blake. He didnt try to have me update every little thing in the house that other realtors said were necessary. He was knowledgeable on the area and competition and gave me an accurate listing price. Most importantly he is always accessible for any questions you have. I couldnt be any happier with the way things went.

As an investor in rental properties, I have dealt enough agents in Knoxville to know that Blake is one of good guys in the business. Blake understands the Knoxville real estate market, he hustles and actually looks out for his clients’ interest, he follows up with good questions to understand what you’re looking for rather than barraging you with automated listing emails—he is the guy people familiar with the industry use. Any agent can be friendly and seem great during an initial encounter, but Blake actually gets it like few agents do. If you spend some time with other agents you will notice a clear and obvious difference.

Without the help of Blake Rickels and his associate Carly Ponzurick, I would never have sold my condo in time to buy the perfect house in the country. Not only did his talent, generosity, and expertise make all of this possible, he also was able to sell two other houses for me in record time. What makes this more impressive is that, he made recommendations for getting all the houses ready for sale, helped us locate the best contractors for the fixes, and expedited the improvements so that, when the houses sold, nothing additional needed to be done to get them sold. What a team!! Responsive, in touch, and awesome!!

Blake helped us find and purchase our first home in the EXACT neighborhood and price range that we were looking for! We highly recommend Blake. He is honest, intelligent and a very hard worker. There were multiple times we had to meet later in the evenings after dark to accommodate our schedule. Blake also put us in touch with a different mortgage company which allowed us to end up negotiating a quarter point lower interest rate on our mortgage. If you are looking for someone who will work hard for you and has integrity, we would recommend calling Blake.

Anyone in the process of an executive relocation or new to the Knoxville area should use Blake Rickels as your realtor. We contacted Blake as we were working through our relo from Ft Lauderale to Farragut (West Knoxville) and he made the process extremely easy. His follow up was quick, he actually listened to us and found us the perfect home that met all of our needs, which is not an easy task. We will use him for all future real estate needs and would recommend him to my family and friends. -Taylor Wilson

Phenomenal ! Blake put our house on the market and within a few days we had 3 viewings, all were interested but one buyer got the jump on the other two and it was over in no time. So... Blake sold our house within a total of three weeks of putting it on the market. I could not ask for a better person to work with... very professional, extremely knowledgeable about what makes the property presentable, and a joy to work with. My wife and I were extremely pleased. Thank you, Blake, for a job well done !
