Testimonials

We worked with Tom on the purchase of our home. We are new to Knoxville, lacking any local knowledge of the area. Tom's knowledge of neighborhoods, builders, home histories and more proved extremely valuable in our house hunt. He is unflappable during the twists and turns of negotiation and consideration. I have purchased 5 houses, and Tom is by far the most professional and value added agent in that collective experience.

We cannot say enough about the excellence that emanates from the Hughes real estate team. Over the past year, we had looked at countless houses on our own. After we contacted the Hughes, we realized that we needed the expertise of a professional. Not only did Debaran and Tom find exactly what we were looking for, we were also delighted with how they handled our existing home sale. We accomplished all of this during an extremely challenging real estate market.

Debaran was outstanding! Although our property was not in the price range with the majority of the Hughes Properties, we received service of the highest type. We took her advice on staging our home and it was highly effective. We sold our home in 5 days with 3 offers that day and it sold for $2000 over asking price! She helped us find a property to buy that exactly met our needs and cost less than we expected! Our original referral came from a family member who has used her 3 times.

Tom was outstanding with understanding what we were looking for. He was very patient with us as we viewed home with him for 3 months.

Debaran stuck with us for over a year as we looked for a suitable house. What struck us was: 1. Her deep knowledge of the area and the housing market. 2. Putting her clients first and always listening. 3. Her good humor. 4. Her skill in negotiating. We did get a house and given an imperfect world, it was perfect for us. The only downside is that we won't enjoy her company, now that the house has closed.

Our experience with The Hughes Properties was amazing. Debaran was not only very easy to work with, she also communicated with us constantly. She was our eyes and ears as our property was for sale after we relocated to AL. We trusted her knowledge to get our home sold. We would definitely use The Hughes Properties again and recommend them to others. Great experience!

Debaran was wonderful throughout the entire home selling/buying experience. She made herself available to us at all times, answering all of our millions of questions and showing us homes on short notice.
With Debaran's help, we were able to sell our home very quickly. It then, took us awhile to find a home to buy. Debaran never gave up. She was very patient and always remained upbeat and optimistic. She also possesses a strong knowledge of the Knoxville area and real estate, which was very helpful. Although, we are THRILLED to be in our new home, (which we finally found and love) We are also kind of sad not to be working with Debaran anymore, talking on the phone everyday (usually multiple times)-we miss her!

The Hughes have listed several properties for us. They are thorough and do a lot of research prior to listing the house. Debaran did a great job of preparing and listing the property. This generated a lot of interest and the property sold quickly.

We had a complicated estate sale to manage and Debaran managed it all with the utmost professionalism and skill. As far as the house, what can I say? ONE (1) DAY on the market! We were beyond thrilled! We were so happy we recommended Debaran and Tom to friends who were selling their home and it was sold in less than a week! If you are looking to sell or buy a home in Knoxville, you need to call The Hughes Properties.
