First of all, let me say, "I love my chosen profession"!  How many jobs (don't you just hate that word), allow the freedom to set your own hours, continue your daily "house/kid chores" without interruption, play when you feel the need and, look at/give advice on one of the many things that you love:  HOME SWEET HOME...Trust me, I have worked in all sorts of varying fields, majored in English Lit. and Accounting, worked as a CPA (BORING), Certified Paralegal (almost the same as working in a strip club depending on your Attorney/Boss), Nurses' Aid (preparation for children, wiping, cleaning, feeding...), Retail Management , Stay-at-Home Bookkeeper (BORING AGAIN), Stay-at-Home Mom (Definately NOT Boring, but Painfully Awake/Alert), Life-Guard (younger, bikini-wearing years), Tour-Guide at a local Cavern (if you ever need to know about stalactites, I'm your gal), Waitress (in the most REDNECK bar in town), Children's Minister (boy, those last two go hand-in-hand), and, last but not least, REALTOR EXTRAORDINAiRE!!!  I am a Licensed Affiliate Broker with RE/MAX, and live on the state lines of Tennessee and Virginia, thereby necessitating licensure in two states!  Not only is RE/MAX one of the TOP names in real estate, with a professional RE/MAX Associate, you can be assured of quality service and an educated professional advising on your most precious of investments!  When I think of a Home, I think of, not just a piece of property with a price tag, it's Family, Memories, Love, Trust, Pride... so many emotions are tied to that one word:  HOME.  It's YOUR private retreat, YOUR paradise... a place where you can unwind and hide away your secrets, plan your dreams, YOUR future begins at HOME.

When you contact me, you make a friend, an ally.  I am in the business of making dreams come true!!!  And, I take my job very seriously, treating each and every client with the same measure of respect and duty.  I fight for you, I pray for you, I laugh and cry with you and, most importantly, I am there for you throughout the ENTIRE transaction.  When you need me I am there!  There are so many aspects to buying or selling a home, and I have made it my sincere goal to provide the very best service possible.  I stay on top of market trends, I use technology to market and purchase but, I also use my "gut" instinct when it comes to people, because after all, it is people that I serve.  I work diligently to earn (yes, I said earn) your trust, respect and loyalty.  I am not just another agent out to make a buck... I am in this profession for life.  You cannot run me off, beat me down, or scare me away.  Remember my name, TESSA LOVINS, and associate it with REAL ESTATE because that is WHO I AM, not what I do.
