A great evening with ETN CCIM touring the MHM office! 🏢
A huge thank you to the MHM team for welcoming us in and sharing the story behind this incredible renovation. What was once the Historic Sanitary Laundry building has been thoughtfully transformed into a beautiful, modern home for an architecture firm.
Projects like this are such a great reminder of why commercial real estate is so special. It’s not just about buildings—it’s about the stories, people, creativity, and vision that bring spaces back to life and give them a new purpose.
Grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect, and see another great example of East Tennessee’s evolving built environment firsthand.
Thank you, MHM, for the hospitality and the tour! 👏

A great week of CCIM 104 in Knoxville!

A huge thank you to instructors Walt Clements and James Gerdts, DBA, CCIM for sharing not only their expertise, but also the real-world experiences, stories, and lessons that make the material come alive. Their passion for commercial real estate and commitment to mentoring the next generation of professionals is what makes the CCIM education experience so valuable.

We also enjoyed spending time together outside the classroom at our chapter happy hour—one of the best parts of CCIM is the relationships and connections built along the way.

We had a packed house this week as Jim Evans of the Knoxville Metro Airport Authority gave us an inside look at the future of the airline industry, McGhee Tyson Airport’s growth trajectory, and its economic ripple effect across the Greater Knoxville and East Tennessee region. For those of us in CRE, the connection between air access, corporate relocation, industrial demand, and regional investment is real — and the data Jim shared reinforced just how critical this infrastructure is to our market’s continued growth. Big thanks to Jim Evans for sharing his expertise and to everyone who showed up. This is exactly the kind of intel that sharpens our market perspective. 📍✈️

We’re incredibly grateful to Dr. Wanamaker for sharing her time and expertise with us! Her insightful discussion on macroeconomics—and how broader trends are shaping the East Tennessee region—gave us valuable perspective on growth, development, and the opportunities ahead.

Conversations like these help us stay informed, think strategically, and better serve our community.

Interested in being part of more informative discussions like this? Get involved with our local CCIM Chapter to stay connected to valuable insights, industry leaders, and meaningful conversations.
