As a Buyer who is looking to purchase property in the Cherokee Lake area (an area encompassing four counties – Grainger, Hamblen, Hawkins, and Jefferson) why not use a Real Estate Firm that is plugged in, networked, and will know how to find your dream property in an area that we specialize in? Cherokee Lake Realty has access to many residential and land listings, auctions, and foreclosures throughout the area that are not found on online sites.
Our owner is not originally from this area, he moved here from another state thirty years ago and knows what it is like to go through the relocation process. He experienced what someone new to the area will experience and is ready to share his knowledge and guidance as you go through this process. Relocating is never easy for a family, and you can feel a sense of comfort in knowing that someone that went through the same situation will be there helping and answering all of your questions.
If you are currently out of state, contact us on a property that you are interested in and we will pull all available research and forward it to you: MLS info that is not available to the public, property history, surveys, lot dimensions, tax records, any and all information that will help you decide whether this property is a contender or not.
If you are visiting the area now, contact us for areas that you would like information on. We will provide suggestions, recommendations, and directions on locations that may fit your needs. Because of scheduling constraints, we may not be able to accompany you, but as you search the information provided, we will only be a phone call away to answer your questions. There is no better way to identify whether a property is for you, or not, than to do a drive-by. Photos don’t always provide the true nature of how the property sits in relationship to neighboring homes. Areas that you may consider unsightly are best identified by driving by the home. If you need to see the inside of a home, please keep in mind, a 24-hour advance notice to gain access is the norm. We will then schedule the appointment for you and accompany you on your viewing.

Our name says it all – Cherokee Lake Realty. So, as you reach out for assistance in finding a property in the Cherokee Lake area, ask yourself this, do you want a firm that claims they are experts in all lake areas, or one that stands by and represents only one?

Boating Information for Tennessee Lakes
Boating on the TN lakes is a great time but safety is paramount. Knowing the rules will keep you and your
loved ones safe and in compliance with Tennessee law. Before taking to the lakes, you should go to
https://www.knoxvilletennessee.com/boating-guide.pdf
to read the rules that have been put in place for the state of TN. The rule that is often overlooked or not understood is who needs to have a TWRA issued certification to operate the watercraft. Even if an adult is with the child operating the watercraft you can be fined by TWRA if the child does not have the certificate. If you are a Tennessee resident born after January 1, 1989, and operating a vessel with more than 8.5 horsepower, then you need the certification. If you are a non-Tennessee resident born after January 1, 1989, visiting Tennessee, and operating a boat with more than 8.5 horsepower, you will need a boating education certificate approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). It is important to always remember that you need to have a fully charged marine approved fire extinguisher, a whistle or air horn, life jackets that fit each person on the watercraft, an oar or paddle, a ring buoy with a rope and an extra tow rope in case you breakdown on the lake and need to be towed.
All children, 12 years of age and younger are required to wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket while on
the open deck of a recreational boat except when anchored, moored, or aground. Again, go to the website listed above to fully understand all the rules and regulations for all TN lakes. This will help ensure a safe boating season for all.
