I used Blake Rickels as our realtor 3 different times. He is always professional and caring in his actions. Blake takes time to answer any and all questions and will give advise if asked. One thing that I have noticed about him that Blake is always very careful when explaining things about a house that I am looking at not to speak in a negative way about another persons house.
I have dealt with him on both sides of the business, selling and buying a home. Blake always makes me feel comfortable and I am very confident in the decision I make because of his knowledge that he has shared with me. Blake Rickels is the only realtor that I will use and I highly recommend him to anyone!

I have used Blake Rickels for all of my real estate needs. He is a great person and a trust worthy agent. I like how he does business and I respect his candor. Blake gets the job done and I am ALWAYS happy with the buying and selling of homes. He got my first home under contract within one week and the second home was under contract in a day with a price I was HAPPY with. EVERYONE loves Blake because he is easy going.
When choosing a realtor you have to chose someone that people genuinely like and BLAKE is that GUY! He has a great team of agents, too and his wife Cindy also helped out and answered my questions and assisted my movers. They are just both GREAT people and I will always choose Blake as my agent. Always! He is a great person and honestly, has been a friend because I was not in town and he helped out even after closing. Just a great, quality person and human being. I value him. his time.and his patience! GO TEAM BLAKE! THEY ARE # 1! Chat Conversation End Type a message.

Shelby Brooks is knowledgeable, thorough, organized, and patient. She guided me through every step of the process, always with my best interests in mind. This was my first home purchase as a single mom, and knowing that Shelby was advocating for my family made me a confident buyer. She is simply the best!

I worked with Blake on both ends of the deal and he's is the best realtor I have ever had. He's kind, honest, and listens to his customers. I value and respect his professional opinion and I trust him wholeheartedly when it comes to making HUGE financial decisions- ie selling and buying a home ad he did both for my family and I'm grateful. Quality Guy!

I thought that buying our first home would be a super stressful experience, but instead it was a great one with Blake on our side! We found the perfect home and closed on it in a little over a month from start to finish and we are happy homeowners. When an issue came up during the closing process Blake worked with our mortgage broker to fix the issue before we even had a chance to freak out about it.
He kept us informed through the whole process and I now consider him a friend. We will always use Blake in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for an attentive and experienced realtor!

Selling house can be a frustrating process; we were very fortunate to have Mr. Blake Rickels help us. After we showed him the house, he found buyers overnight! During the brief time working with him, we found Blake incredibly professional. He guided us through the process with ease and confidence. He was always responsive and reassuring. We are extremely grateful for his help. If you need real estate agent, we highly recommend reaching out to Blake Rickles. Jin&Nan Z.

I've used Blake Rickels services for three home purchases and two home sales. I have found that working with Blake to either sell or purchase a home was effortless. Blake is very straightforward with his opinion and gave me confidence moving forward in each transaction. He has many strengths when it comes to negotiating terms and working through any potential obstacles. I highly recommend Blake for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy agent that will advocate for their best interests at all times.

Best. Experience. Ever. Y'all, use Blake! He was the most professional, honest, extremely knowledgeable and all around best realtor we have worked with. He really understood what we were looking for and we now live in the perfect home for our family. He came highly recommended by 4 different friends, and he certainly did not disappoint. There is a reason he is one of the top realtors in Knoxville!

After being frustrated and disappointed from a previous realtor; I had the extreme pleasure of being introduced to Blake Rickels. The first day my home was listed, I had 7 appointments to show it. Blake is extremely communicative, responsive and definitely has your best interest at heart. In my experience, he went above and beyond to make sure that my house was sold with 100% satisfaction. If you are in need of a realtor, I HIGHLY recommend Blake Rickels!

If you are looking to sell or buy a home Blake Rickels is the right choice. We wanted to sell our home quickly and Blake not only sold it quickly (in one day-multiple offers) but sold it for more than what we excepted. Blake is honest, hard working, and knowledgeable. He kept us updated with anything going on with the sell of our home and explained to us the entire process. He not only made it an easy process, he made it fun. My husband and myself truly can not recommend him enough.

Blake is great, we purchased our first home and he was there every step of the way. We always knew what to look out for next, the process was so easy using him. He definitely knows his houses and locations, he puts his clients before himself and for that I cant thank you enough! Joe at MIG is amazing also, I'd recommend you both to anyone!

Phenomenal! Blake put our house on the market and within a few days we had 3 viewings, all were interested but one buyer got the jump on the other two and it was over in no time. So. Blake sold our house within a total of three weeks of putting it on the market. I could not ask for a better person to work with. very professional, extremely knowledgeable about what makes the property presentable, and a joy to work with. My wife and I were extremely pleased. Thank you, Blake, for a job well done!

Very professional and prompt, showed up earlier than expected every time and went well beyond other agents I have worked with in the past. He was very savvy with technology and was able to show me houses in various formats and provide real time updates on homes we were interested in. We are in the process of getting our home ready for market and will be using The Rickels' Team going forward.

Blake has helped us sell two homes and buy another. He is very nice to work with, very professional, and communicates/responds very well! He knows the market and is honest about the price and condition of your home, but he allows you to decide what works best for you (where you price and what updates/repairs/staging you want to do). Another thing that sets him apart is his marketing ability. First, the quality of the photos of your home is amazing.
It truly markets the home in a very positive light. He is very active in using social media and other web-based marketing. He also uses technology to make showings/listings very convenient to be aware of and confirm. Technology for paperwork is also something convenient he offers. He provides solid advice but doesn't over-advise. He is a consultant, not the decision maker. We found him to be incredibly easy to work with, and most importantly, he succeeds in what you hire him to do. We would recommend Blake to anyone!

Blake helped us find and purchase our first home in the EXACT neighborhood and price range that we were looking for! We highly recommend Blake. He is honest, intelligent and a very hard worker. There were multiple times we had to meet later in the evenings after dark to accommodate our schedule. Blake also put us in touch with a different mortgage company which allowed us to end up negotiating a quarter point lower interest rate on our mortgage. If you are looking for someone who will work hard for you and has integrity, we would recommend calling Blake.

I have known and used Blake Rickels for half of a decade. Stumbling upon his services through social media platforms, my experience with Blake has been nothing less than stellar. His professionalism is empowering, his knowledge is astonishing, and his knack for real estate is mind blowing. Anything you thought you may have known, you can chalk up to luck- because he has strategy, reasoning, and science behind his mechanics.
If you want a house sold, this is the guy to call. If you want pretty pictures of your house on the internet, call someone else. He needs a sign that says "serious inquiries only", because once you've got him as your realtor, you might as well start packing.

Blake sold a condo for me in The woodlands of Knoxville off Cherokee Trail behind UT Medical Center and at Eleventh Place next to The Worlds Fair Park. Both experiences were positive and worth mentioning. Blake has exceptional customer service is easy going, up front, and honest. He negotiated both deals very well to get me the best sales price possible. I would highly recommend to anyone considering selling their home in Knoxville to call Blake.
