Kristi Dunlap - Astute Realty

Meet Kristi Dunlap, Owner/Broker

As a University of Tennessee graduate, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, with a major in Accounting. The specialized attention to detail required in both fields has contributed greatly to my real estate career, where I specialize in the sale of new and existing homes in the Knoxville and surrounding areas. I have been a licensed REALTOR® for 22 years, with a broker’s license for 18 years. I also hold multiple licenses for insurance (property, casualty, life, health, and legal), and I am a licensed general contractor. I have worked hands‐on with people for many years because this is my passion.

Why I’m Different

With many years of experience working and helping people with some of the most important decisions they will make in their lifetime, I am known for outstanding client service and always being readily available. I offer high‐tech marketing techniques, as well as personal touches. I am a skilled negotiator, always putting my client’s best interests first and foremost. I strongly believe it is not only my duty to represent my clients to the best of my ability, but also to educate them throughout every step of the process. I strive to provide them with top‐notch information and market insight, promoting the best decisions possible. I am honest (sometimes telling clients things they might not want to hear), hard‐working and extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry.

My Personal Time

I believe in giving my time. One of my passions is helping the homeless through a program called Family Promise. I, along with my children, have served as overnight hosts at various locations to families in need, providing shelter and cooked meals. I have also contributed to, and assisted with, fundraisers for this program and many others. I have lived in Knoxville for 27 years, and enjoy reading, playing tennis, exercising, art, antiques, and cooking.
