About Us:

Our Homes & Land Family

Homes & Land is a family owned and operated business. Started in 1983 in Sevier County

by Russ & Cheryl Haskins, Homes & Land was one of the first real estate magazines in

East Tennessee. We have been serving the real estate community of East and Middle

Tennessee from Farragut since 1987. Through the years the Haskins have won many

awards from Homes & Land for their hard work but none are greater than the honor they

received from the Great Smoky Mountains Association of REALTORS in 2003 when the

board named the new addition of their building "Haskins Hall" in honor of what they've

done for Sevier County. They are assisted by their son, Russell Haskins, their daughter and

son-in-law, Kristina & Glenn Longmire, and their nephew, Kerry Haskins.

Testimonials

“Homes & Land Magazine provides my sellers with national exposure in a high-quality print publication. This is a tremendous resource for buyers looking to move to the greater Knoxville area. I have received many calls and e-mails directly from out-of-state buyers relocating to Knoxville. Since Knoxville is one of ‘America’s Most Livable Cities’, the national availability of Homes & Land is an invaluable tool.”
~ Anne Williams • Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace REALTORS®

“Homes & Land is a beautiful magazine and has a really attentive staff. My phone calls have tripled and the number of leads I get just from advertising is great!”
~ Sally Scruggs • Century 21 Select Properties, LLC

I receive more calls on listings advertised in Homes & Land than any other print form. I have sold several of my own listings from calls on properties that clients have seen in the Homes & Land Magazines. I love the Homes & Land video. I have already received several calls on my listing in Kinzel Springs as a result of this wonderful avenue of advertising. My properties receive the best exposure from advertising in the Homes & Land Magazine and thru the use of the new video program. I have received more phone calls from my advertising with Homes & Land than any other print material. I have been successful in marketing properties with Homes & Land as my primary choice of print advertising.

I really like the Homes and Land Magazine it has so much more class about it. It is a beautiful Magazine!! I have been looking at homes magazines for over 20 years and yours makes you look forward to the next addition. Thank You!
Wanda Grimes, Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace

“Homes & Land Magazine is the most consistent magazine that I receive leads from each and every time it comes out! Whether I am on the cover or just inside, the calls begin when the new issue hits the stand & continue for months from one magazine. Sellers LOVE to see their beautiful homes in full color and buyers love the color publications over the black & white. Many listings as well as sales are direct results of Homes & Land ads.”
Karen Millikan, On The Lake Realty

“I choose Homes & Land because of the excellent exposure. I like the online admaker and the fact that you send magazines to sellers and to prospects. The color and quality is excellent. I receive more calls directly on listings advertised in Homes & Land than from other publications.”
Vicki Everbach, Realty Executives Associates

“I so wish I could shout to every Realtor in Knoxville ... Homes & Land is the GREATEST!!! What you guys do is amazing. Today, as I was printing flyers for some of my listings, I was showing other agents in my office how EASY it is to print flyers, and all that Homes & Land offers Realtors who advertise with their publication. If there was some way for me to tell others they should be in Homes & Land, I would ... and I do with every opportunity that presents itself. Thank you for all that you offer me as a Realtor and as an advertiser in Homes & Land.”
Sherry Wallace Barry, Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace REALTORS®

“I feel it is the most picked-up home magazine on the stands. It is distributed nationwide and offers a lot of extras at no cost to the advertiser. I love that we can now get our video tours done without any hassle…and really, no time comes out of my busy schedule. Quite a few of my clients have told me they got my name from Homes & Land magazine.”
Susie Kelts, Re/Max At The Lakes

Homes & Land magazine has been a wonderful way to advertise. The ease of uploading listings is fantastic! I receive daily leads from Homes & Land Magazine that have turned into some of my best clients!
Donna Derrick, Executive Properties of Knoxville, LLC

Homes & Land has to be the biggest real estate book in the U.S. It’s world known & available to all buyers & sellers whether relocating or just looking for a change. Anytime I go out of town I always look for Homes & Land & it’s always available. If I was looking to move to a different state this is the book I would request. I also like the fact that this book is mailed to my sellers monthly.
Tonya Bledsoe, Re/Max At The Lakes – Lenoir City

Your full color, full page magazine is clear photos and largely distributed for better customer access to ads, agents & real estate. Your personal help (employees) and the on-line admaker is great for you & us. It is so easy to use & you can do your ads from any computer. The Web site you provide is a great tool to my business. It allows me access to my customers, plus allows the entire world access to our ads. Also the referrals you send are a very nice bonus you give to us all. Homes & Land is the best form of advertising & most affordable for the ad I have found. I have met & sold many homes from my advertising from your magazine. I love your personal hands on assistance!
