Karen Packett

Nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Smoky Mountains, I am proud to call East Tennessee home. Growing up boating, fishing, exploring the sparkling waters of Fort Loudoun, Tellico, Melton Hill and Watts Bar Lakes and hiking, camping, canoeing and tubing in the Pigeon Forge and Great Smoky areas, my connection to these stunning landscapes runs deep. I’ve spent my entire life here and have watched these areas evolve into some of the most desirable places for those looking to embrace the mountain and lake lifestyle.

As a Preferred Partner Agent with Mountain Homes Realty, I offer not only expert knowledge of this unique region but also the industry-leading resources of Lake Homes Realty, the nation's largest lake-focused brokerage. My career spans over 20 years, and I use that experience, combined with a lifelong love for the area, to help my clients make informed decisions when buying or selling their properties.

There are many popular mountain home developments in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Townsend, and Kodak. Lake communities include Tellico Village, Tennessee National and Rarity Bay to hidden gems along the shores of Watts Bar like Grande Vista Bay, I have the insight to help you find your perfect mountain or lake home.
