	- Affiliate Broker Roy and his wife moved to Tellico Village in 2005 and have loved every minute of the time here.  It is now “home” for them.   As he says,” I flunked retirement.  I got bored and wanted to get back to work dealing with people because I enjoy it”.  He spent his last years before retirement working in executive positions that required constant customer interaction and selling real estate is just a carryover of that experience.   Roy knows very well the process people go through when looking for their retirement location.  He had purchased a lot several years before moving to Tellico Village and had his home built.  Growing up and living in the south and then living in Michigan for several years gave him the weather part of the “where do I live” equation, so he relates well to the things customers are looking for.  If Tellico Village doesn’t offer all that you are looking for then we will be surprised. “I try to treat customers the way I want to be treated and work very hard to exceed their expectations.  I care about people and the transition they are making and want it to be as smooth as possible”.  Please call Roy at 865.406.2004 with any Real Estate needs you might have

	- Broker Hello, my name is Bob Gilley. After thirty years of operations in the automotive aftermarket, my wife Barbara and I decided in 1997 to leave Toledo, Ohio and retire to Tellico Lake in East Tennessee. My normal work week had been seventy- five hours, and I did not adjust well to retirement.  In December of 1997, I obtained my Tennessee real estate license and have been very successful in marketing, primarily Rarity Bay and Tellico Village properties. Last year, I made a decision to work only with buyers to assist them in finding the best values on and around Tellico Lake.  (My attempt at semi-retirement.) Barbara and I love this area.  Most everyone here is from someplace else and eager to make new acquaintances and friends. Tellico Village and Rarity Bay are both communities where neighbors are caring friends and experiencing the most active years of their lives. Please allow me to introduce you to this beautiful area with its active lifestyle. I know the area well and can provide many insights. Please call me at 423-337-1200 for personal and professional real estate service.

	- Affiliate Broker I moved to East Tennessee from Virginia in 1975 to work and study Mechanical Engineering. While in school, the engineering company I was with gave me the wonderful opportunity to work on many of their projects, one of which was the 1982 World’s Fair. I was on-site almost every day and I had a lot of fun working on such an important civic project. I came to realize during that time that I was very much a “hands on person.” In 1986 I became a personal assistant to one of the top real estate agents of Cooper Communities, the developer of Tellico Village. It was an exciting time to be living and working in this new community, and I am able to share my extensive knowledge of Tellico with the buyers and sellers I work with. In 1987 my son was born. What a treat it was for him to be able to grow up in Tellico Village, I think he was the first baby. In 1993 I left the developer and went out on my own, which was a great experience for me. In 1999 Cooper opened a resale division for Tellico Village. They called me and I helped that area of the company get started. I was their #1 producer from 1999-2009. In 2010 Cooper decided to close their real estate division, and I am now very happy to have joined the team at Lakeside Real Estate Group. In my leisure time, I enjoy playing tennis, boating and golfing. If you need an agent to help you in your search of property, and an agent able to give you the knowledge that most buyers want, give me a call. I specialize in homes, townhomes, and home sites. My number is 865-604-8060.
