Contributed photography / Mark HiteOne of the Chattanooga area’s top-selling real estate agents is moving to Real Estate Partners – and taking 19 members of his team with him – after more than a decade with Keller Williams.
“I chose the largest locally owned independent brokerage in the Tennessee Valley,” said Mark Hite, whose team made more than $83 million in real estate deals in 2019. “My decision is that local fundamentally matters.”
Hite has been with Keller Williams for 13 years, but he sought to move to Real Estate partners after working with owner and founder Darlene Brown on local industry and community events.
“I actually approached her about a partnership,” Hite said. “I gravitated to her because of the value system she represents, and the community involvement of Real Estate Partners.”
Ryan May, vice president and co-owner of Real Estate Partners, said the focus on the local community is at the heart of the Real Estate Partners brand built over the last 15 years.
