About Keller Williams Realty Team McIn-Kowksi- Knoxville's Green Team
Our names are Christine McInerney and Jennifer Halinkowski. We are the Keller Williams Realty Knoxville real estate team of McIn-Kowski. Many people have a negative connotation when they think of Real Estate agents. We offer a fresh and energic perspective and work hard for our clients. We do not drive fancy cars and we do not use slick talking tactics to belittle and confuse our clients. We DO NOT have 30 years of experience behind us, meaning that we have not picked up bad habits and use old, worn out sales techniques. We are modern, focused, highly educated, intelligent and down to earth. Best of all when you enlist Team McIn-Kowski you get TWO full time REALTORS(R) catering to ALL of your Real Estate needs!!
We offer free Buyer agent services and are Knoxville Relocation Specialists. If you have a question about the Knoxville area contact us and if we do not personally know the answer we can get you in contact with sources that do. Call us to get started with your home search: 865-237-5289.
If you need to sell your house, definately interview us. We commit ourselves to diligent research to get our clients homes in front of the most buyers possible. By the way, these buyers are not in newspapers and home magazines. If you are considering hiring a family member or friend without interviewing them for the job because you want to "do them a favor" you may be making a huge financial mistake. To us, a seller should go with the most qualified agent they see fit to get their house sold, even if it means hurting a loved one's feelings. This is probably your largest financial investment and you can't afford to put it in the hands of someone who will simply throw a sign in the yard and put your house on the MLS.
We will offer you a menu of services so that you can build your own plan! We offer an unconditional listing agreement that you can cancel at anytime with no fees to you. We only get paid when you get paid. At closing.
We promise to talk to you personally during the listing period at least once a week with updates. We also promise to prepare a new market analysis and meet with you to talk about recent sales and closings every 4-5 weeks. We promise to answer our phone when you call or return your call within 30 minutes Mon-Sun 8am-8pm. Try it! Christine 865-237-5289 or Jennifer 865-621-3658
