If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in the Tellico Village and East Tennessee areas, then you might want to check out Village Realty. Located in Tellico Village, Village Realty has been operating in our area since 1989, and it’s been owned by Jim Doyel all that time, so they really know the area and how to buy and sell here. We sat down to talk with Jim to ask him a few questions about Village Realty and how they’ve been so successful for so long.
East Tennessee Mountain Views: Jim, we know you’ve been in this industry for a long time now. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Jim Doyel: I started in real estate sales for Cooper Communities around 1970 in Bella Vista, Arkansas, so I’ve being doing real estate for about 53 years now. I moved to Tennessee with Cooper in 1985. They were developing land for residential purposes and commercial real estate all over the country. Cooper had just set up their first Tellico Village sales team, and I got to be a part of it.
Do you remember what you were doing in 1986? I was selling lots in Tellico Village! I’m a full-time realtor with 37 years of experience with real estate sales in the Tellico Village area. I have both GRI and CRS designations from the National Association of Realtors. I’m also the owner and principal broker of Village Realty.
ETMV: Tell us a little about Village Realty. What can our readers expect to experience when they work with you?
Jim: I’m glad you asked that. Village Realty is a full service residential and commercial real estate company specializing in Golf and Lake Communities like Tellico Village. “Full service” means we offer our clients expert and professional advice and assistance with every part of the realty process. We help with purchases, sales, rentals, property management, relocations, and referral services. We also can give advice on and coordinate other key components of buying, selling, or renting your home, such as mortgage services, title work, and insurance services.
The world of buying, selling, and renting homes is complicated, and home ownership can be just as confusing and overwhelming. We really want to make sure that we can be there for you through the whole process. Whatever you need to do with that home, we want you to know you’re not alone, and we’ll be there to help you with every step along the way.

The waters might be rough and confusing and seemingly endless, but we’re here to help you find your way.
ETMV: What do you think makes Village Realty unique?
Jim: Like I said before, we’ve been in the area for 37 years. We know this area and the people who live here. And we’re locally owned too. All our realtors are full-time, so you’re getting all our focus and expertise at your disposal and dedicated to serving your needs. You’re also getting all our knowledge of this community. No distractions. Our office is located right here in the heart of Tellico Village. So not only are we helping people get into this community, but we’re also a part of it as well. That means the buck stops here, so to speak.
ETMV: Village Realty seems to have a strong focus on its internet presence. Can you tell us a little more about that?
Jim: Realistically, about 80% of buyers start looking for a new home by searching on the internet, so having an internet presence is incredibly important these days. It’s all about probability. You want to make your property visible to as many people as possible. Just like any other kind of ad. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter how nice your home is or how desirable the area might be if people just don’t see it. So, for sellers, having your home listed on a busy, powerful real estate site is essential. We’ve got you covered there. But it’s just as important for buyers. For anyone looking to get into the area, we’ve got flexible and powerful search tools that will help you parse through the largest and best databases in all East Tennessee. You can even set up automated searches, where you tell our site exactly what you’re looking for and we send you everything new that matches that description.
