Meet Sally Sparks
Licensed since 2003, a Broker since 2006, I have been a full-time Realtor. Education is important to me, and the better equipped I can be to serve my clients is a priority. Currently, I am the 2016 CRS of the year and the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors 2016 Realtor of the Year. In 2015, I was the President of our local Association of Realtors. For the last 9 years I have had a 100% average for buyer and seller client surveys. Heavily involved with our local and state chapter of Women’s Council of Realtors, I served as local President in 2011. I was also named the WCR Realtor of the Year in 2012 for Knoxville and the 2013 Entrepreneur of the Year. I have been the CRS state chapter District Rep for 2013, 2015 and the 2014, 2015 State Membership chair. Sales volume is usually 8-11 million a year with 40-50 transactions average. I serve Knoxville and all the surrounding areas of Maryville, Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Tellico, Norris.
