I moved to East Tennessee 28 years ago and I love it here. It's so beautiful and the people are so much more kind. Very peaceful area.
May I ask which part of TN You reside? I am looking into Jackson,TN.
@@Sincerely_Tiffany Jackson is too close to Memphis for me look further east of Knoxville around the tri-cities...Johnson City/Kingsport/Bristol Tennessee we're doing great in this area 🙏🏽 I pray that you find something soon. Memphis, Chattanooga and Nashville have alot more crime but Knoxville to Asheville is pretty good area.
@@SelenabatYahuah7 Ok will do! Thank you SO VERY MUCH! I appreciate it
We visited Bristol Tennessee this summer to stop by the birthplace of country music museum in just really fell in love with the town. When we left we thought to ourselves Bristol really does look like a great place to live.
We moved to Johnson City from Connectishit this year and it's great! Climate, taxes, col, scenery, and the people are fantastic.
Lol I love your nickname for your home state 😂
@@JG-lo1vb The registration plates on Connectishit cars says "CONSTITUTION STATE" on the bottom which itself is an oxymoron seeing how they ignore their own constitution, the US Constitution, and their pledge of fairness. So I got creative with nail polish and changed the spelling of CONSTITUTION to CONSTIPATION. I really did it!
Wish I could move there! I’m in Southern California and live 3 miles to the Pacific and paying for it. I’m a native Ca but it’s too crowded,too expensive and being priced out. My rent increases each July. Keep wishing a miracle happens to get out. Thank you for the video!
Informative!
Lived in Eastern, Tn. & u are absolutely correct in regards to the Beauty & Folks......😊
Scott, ever time I listen to your videos, it make me miss our home so much. Hope to be back in March.
OMG....I'm moving there, post haste!!!!
I will check it out.
Another informative video. Thanks Scott. Say hi to Kim.
Hi Sharon! -Kim
@@TNVAHomeTeam Hi Kim. How did you like the house?
@@Taking_Back_Thyme It's such a beautiful setting! Looks like a custom build, with many unique finishes. We're pulling for you, of course!
@@TNVAHomeTeam Kim, it’s another big move for us. We spent 3 years in Austin and came back to California. This is our last move. If we get the house, we will definitely need a riding mower 🥴 I’m letting God do the work on this one. ❤️🙏
Because middle TN is FULL, and no one who actually works here can afford to live here anymore!!!! The housing market is... there actually aren't proper words for how bad it is. I make good money, been at my bog for more than 5 years and I still have to work a second job to pay to live here.
Right! I live in Murfreesboro and housing prices sky rocketed, rent too! Traffic is ridiculous and tonight there was a shooting at a high school graduation at MTSU. Smh
@@joephon3359
I'm also in the Boro.
I just noticed that this man doesn't have an accent. I've been up in Connecticut and people say I have an accent. I'm originally from Wise County Virginia, and we used to shop in Kingsport, Johnson City and Bristo TN. Just hearing this man talk make me home sick.
As someone living locally, I wouldn't recommend going too far off the reservation lol
As soon as I can get a job in Tennesee, Im gone
Don't bring your West Coast politics here!
This is truly a great place to live simple quiet and easy on the brain. No traffic or crime just a great Republican state.
@@justsayingforafriend7010 the state is rated one of the worst in crime tho, just saying
Steve-o G
May I suggest that you ask God for guidance. For Him to show you His will for you. If Tennessee is right for you, you will be led and doors will open. Call Scott. He’s amazing and helped us bye an amazing home in Bristol.
@@christop2523If you remove Memphis and Nashville from those statistics, then how does it look?
@@christop2523heard that is in large cities like Memphis though. Just saying.
I just spoke with Scott on the phone. Yes, he answered! , We are looking at NE Tenn, We cannot stand NY anymore. Lived here 70 years, but the politics are getting extremely oppressive. A music director at my Baptist church, I am willing to "leave it all behind", and find a new life, in a like minded place. Ive been thru Tenn, on music tours, and the people were fantastic.
Scott did not rush me, he was very nice, good sense of humor, and knows what he's talking about,
I highly recommend THE HOME TEAM.
I moved from upstate NY to East Tennessee in 2005. I retired from NY government in 2002. I wouldn't live anywhere else. Love it here.
@@dianabinkowski3927 is there any crime there?
My heart aches to be back in Bristol.
I wish he would have said something about the Crime Rate !
Thoughts on safety of oak ridge area, pertaining to national lab??
I need somewhere to go to live where I can have some privacy and my neighbors kind of a distance away. Large property that I can shoot on. Dogs, and peace and quiet good looks trees everything that looks peaceful. And of course civilization nearby that way I can get the necessities I need. And of course a job nearby trucking. So for Johnson City, Kingsport, Maryville, Farragut, South Knoxville or on my list don’t know which one is better. Lol
We like Johnson City, but I don't know that there's any properties you can shoot on. The local gun club looks like it sucks, but I plan to join a Kingsport one soon.
I'm only very familiar with JC and Kingsport. I'd say get a place in Kingsport and then buy some land right over the state line in VA.
I am in Florida and looking to move to this area, if you can believe that. 10 years ago I looked in eastern Tennessee and there were no jobs, at least any that paid. I am a master craftsmen (Master carpenter, frame and finish to include fine cabinetry and one-offs, circular staircases, finish and paint, new construction from traditional to log homes, light plumbing and electrical, flooring, marine construction, etc, with references and images a mile long) and I am barely squeaking by here in Florida. I see in the TN new home video's from realtors the mexican craftsmanship that permeates, seemingly everywhere as of late and it is a travesty. Cant seem to find a pay that I make now in that region and the houses are too far out from work and similarly priced to Florida which makes it impractical. Then there are the thieving meth heads. Yes, I have friends there that keep me posted. In a couple months, if we are not in civil war yet, I will be making a second attempt and I will hopefully be able to find customers who want real quality and then I will consider your beautiful state. I cant seem to find those real craftsmanship homes there. Maybe its like the carolina's and it doesn't exist. And dont get me started on the Cliffs...LOL You have a nice demeanor, former realtor to realtor and you are on my list. Have a good day!
You need to market yourself in a new and aggressive manner. Finding skilled labor is a hard find these days. Right now, we are heading into a recession of epic proportions, so for now, hang on tight.
Is there work there around Elizabethton?
Hoping to retire to rural Sullivan county (25mi radius of west Bristol if possible).
One question how often would the passes on 421 between Bristol and Mountain City become impassible in winter?
I'll hazard a guess that they might close 421 4 days total over a winter season. I'll bet there are some winters where it remains open; just depends on how severe the snow gets.
@@TNVAHomeTeam Thanks. It looks like Johnson county would be less expensive than Sullivan but the church is in west Bristol. Of course the weather in JC is not as good but still better than here in northern Indiana. 🙂
My wife is from the Tri-Cities; I'm from Atlanta. We raised our kids in GA but decided to move back to her hometown of Kingsport about 3 years ago. I love it up here! It's beautiful, the people are nice, the cost of living is low, there's no traffic, etc. The only downside is the prevalence of meth up here. Lots of tweakers.
Where is the best medical for medical conditions? Is there accessible medical specialty medicene available?
You'll find specialists in the three main cities (Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City). Of course it will depend upon what specific condition you're referring to, but in general you should be covered in the immediate area.
What part of North East Tennessee is that first image of?
The first clip in the video is in Gatlinburg.
I am a hunter and a sports shooter does it offer anyting for me in these Sports I'm also a Big Archery fan
There's Kettlefoot Rod & Gun club just outside of Bristol. I haven't been there in a long time but they had an archery range back then. Lots of hunting opportunities.
The gun club close to Johnson City looks like it sucks, but there's one in Kingsport I think I'll join.
I would like to see farm land.
I'm interested in land in TN. What would you recommend?
There are a lot of options here; it really depends on what you're looking for. (Acreage, flatness of land, cleared vs. wooded, zoning/restrictions, and price.)
How far are medical facilities located?
All 3 of the Tri-cities have major hospitals. There are VA hospitals in Johnson City and Abingdon, VA.
The Tri-Cities is home to ETSU college of medicine so we have great hospitals and doctors here. Also its a lot easier to get assistance here than other states I have lived in bc the people in this area are so much more helpful and kind.
Johnson City is major medical. Hospitals (2) and ETSU COLLEGE OF MEDICINE.
Where in this area is affordable, safe, and beautiful for a retirement couple?
In very general terms, Johnson City is the most expensive & Bristol and Kingsport are very similar. It is quite a large area though & it's hard to quantify. We've had retirees from out of state choose Piney Flats (an unincorporated area b/t Bristol and Johnson City, and other outlying areas. The cities are pretty small and the area in between very rural. It depends mostly on how far away from hospitals, etc. you'd want to be before I could be more specific. Thanks for the comment!
@gigi my husband and I are working with Scott and his wife Kim. Love them❤️❤️
We looked all over with priorities for hospitals, restaurants, not in a city and not too remote. Settled on Rogersville 🤞. We are both retired as well.
@@Taking_Back_Thyme Are you here now? I live in Rogersville!
@@Heatherlashae02 we made an offer on a property in Rogersville. Didn’t get it. Finally got an amazing property in the outskirts of Bristol, thanks you Scott and Kim Henninger. We are now in escrow.
@@Taking_Back_Thyme
Thank you
Anyone can help me….thinking on moving to TN this year. I have a boy starting HS this year. Looking for a town with a good school district 😊Thank you
Any new construction in the area under $350k
Personally, I went to Bristol TN High School. All three of the main city schools have excellent rankings. Go to greatschools.org and look up the area high schools in Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City. At least one of the county high schools had a high ranking too. Good luck!
Come to Kingsport! Dobyns Bennett high school is really good and Kingsport is a nice town. There are a lot of meth heads up here (this is southern Appalachia after all), but if you're an active and involved parent, your son should be fine.
How many ranchers are there?
I can't quantify that, but there are cattle farms in all parts of the area. Probably the most common farm you'll find.
@@TNVAHomeTeam
I am afraid of the stigma I will receive because I grew up in Southern California
NO NEARBY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
Are there any good public shooting ranges for us Second Amendment enthusiasts?

Not one smile in your video Scott.
Renting
Why are you making that face in your thumbnail pic..
Don’t move here! You have been warned! You will regret it.
I have lived here for 75 years. Been Fla. to N.Y. COAST TO COAST. THIS "IS" THE PLACE TO LIVE. Where do you live?
I’m so happy that you have had that many good years there!
Some of my reasons are
HEALTH care!!! That’s gets to be pretty important the older you get, if you sir found good care in that area you are blessed.
FUTURE for your children!
It’s going to be in the service industry.
DRUGS! Ain’t getting it to to it.
I could go on and on.
Please do your research on the things that impact your life!
On the good side they do have a lot of outdoor activities nearby.
Housing market is inflated. Don't waste your time. Unless you wanna pay 100k over value 😎
Housing is that way everywhere now. North Carolina is so bad that my neighbor sold their house for almost double what they paid 10 years ago!
And, for those of us that have been here for decades and raised families here - our property value has sky rocketed thanks paying what is a 'deal' to them because of where they came from. Many have taken advantage in moving here. As for property taxes, mine has doubled in just 2 yrs. and sadly, compared to other states may bite me, but seen as a win for those from Cali, NY, MI, etc. "Overinflated, yes... folks need to cool their jets a let the market settle. As it does, they might find a different picture. Remember the Obama "bubble" and folks walking away from their homes being foreclosed on? Either way, realtors make a fee when $old, so keep that in mind in picturesque clips... and, I thought Nashville was the Country Music City? And, Bristol was NASCAR heaven.
@@Shattered612 To be honest, I do believe the housing market is high everywhere. But comparing some of the homes I've seen in Florida don't compare to Tennessee sadly.
@@roxanerogers1220 What do you think will be the main factors, for the housing market to come down?
No good paying jobs there. Not comparable to paying a $2500 mortgage and the increase of living expenses now!
