I have proudly served at the helm of our company now for about 40 years. Our firm has literally reshaped the way commercial real estate is regarded in East Tennessee: bringing Knoxville its first two regional malls, setting the trend for upscale commercial development and retaining a solid reputation for sound solutions by offering fully integrated services. Today, Oliver Smith Realty continues this tradition of being an integral part of Tennessee’s growth. We continually endeavor to create a desirable synergy between the communities we serve and the projects at hand. By providing this broad spectrum of professional offerings, we have become a single point of contact for our clients’ real estate needs.

Through indispensable disciplines and a highly trained organization of real estate professionals, we continue to dedicate ourselves to providing real estate solutions to help mold our region’s landscape. With a strong entrepreneurial base, we strive to bring a powerful and unique perspective to each of our clients. We are thankful to those individuals and companies who have entrusted their interests to our company throughout the past 90 years. We commit to continue as a leader in commercial real estate and development in our home of East Tennessee.

Sincerely,

OLIVER A. SMITH, IV
