Brandie Berrong is a real estate agent based in East Tennessee, serving clients throughout Maryville, Knoxville, Gatlinburg, The Great Smoky Mountains, and the surrounding areas. She works with Realty Executives Associates, the top brokerage in the region, and has built her business around a straightforward idea: that buying or selling a home should feel less like a transaction and more like a partnership.

Originally from Nashville and raised in Maryville, Brandie spent much of her childhood moving for her father’s career. That experience shaped how she thinks about home. For some people, home means stability. For others, it is where life’s milestones are celebrated, or simply a quiet place to watch the sunset. There is no single definition, and she learned early that one size does not fit all. That belief now sits at the center of how she serves her clients.

From Mortgage Lending to Real Estate

Before becoming an agent, Brandie worked in mortgage lending. That background gave her a strong grasp of both the financial and emotional sides of buying a home. She understands the numbers, but she also understands the weight of the decision. Today, that perspective allows her to walk clients through everything from contract to closing with clarity and confidence. Rather than pushing people toward a particular property or timeline, she helps them figure out what home actually means to them.

Stepping Out on Her Own

Brandie has been a consistent top producer at her company for six years running. She has sold over 270 homes in the past seven years, and in 2025, she earned the top producer diamond award from Realty Executives Associates. It was a goal she had set for herself for a long time, and reaching it required doing things differently.

Her path to this point was intentional. She spent five years working on a team, seeking out experience and learning from complex scenarios at a high level. That foundation gave her the skills and confidence to eventually step out on her own. In her first year as a solo agent, she had one of the most successful production years of her career. Her transition reflects a larger trend in the industry: agents moving from team-dependent structures to building independent, relationship-driven businesses backed by strong brokerage support.

A Low-Pressure Approach

What sets Brandie apart is her commitment to being a low-pressure presence in an industry that often feels anything but. She describes her approach as relationship first, with success measured not by a single sale but by long-term trust. Whether someone is buying their first home, looking at lakefront property, or investing in the Great Smoky Mountains, she wants to be the advisor they return to at every stage of life.

At the most basic level, every client she works with is trying to solve the same problem: how to get from point A to point B. That might mean turning the idea of buying a home into reality, or navigating a sale without the stress taking over. What often stands in the way is uncertainty and the fear that the process will become overwhelming. Brandie addresses that by thinking several steps ahead. She knows where transactions tend to break down, where stress builds, and where opportunities are missed. Her goal is to anticipate challenges before they arise and solve problems before they escalate. For her, the ideal outcome is not just a successful closing but an experience that feels seamless, honest, resourceful, and even enjoyable.

Rooted in East Tennessee

Outside of work, Brandie is a mother to her nine-year-old daughter, Camden. They spend weekends at local events, cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers, and embracing the rhythm of East Tennessee life. She is deeply rooted in the same community she serves, which adds a personal dimension to her work. By combining the training and resources of a market-leading firm with a highly personalized approach, she has been able to grow her business without sacrificing the quality of experience she provides.

For Brandie, real estate is not just a career. It is a way of building something meaningful in the place she calls home. She sees it as both a responsibility and a privilege to help others find what home means to them.
