About Jay Cottrell

EXPECT MORE. Growing up in Northeast Tennessee it has been a passion of mine to help others. I have over 15 years of experience in building and running successful companies. As well as over 7 years of experience in real estate. Throughout my career, I’ve always asked 2 questions: Is there a better way? Are we serving our clients to the best of our ability? I believe in holding myself, my company, and my employees to the highest standards. And, clients should as well!


Throughout my time working in anesthesia physician practice management, we strove to provide hospitals and their communities with the world-class anesthesia departments they deserved. I bought into a franchise called College Nannies+Sitters because I believed parents deserved more reliable, safe, convenient, personalized, and professional childcare options for their family.  In real estate, I have taken all my knowledge, experiences and passions and paired them with my love for Real Estate to create a powerful customer service combination that won me the office Rookie of the Year award for 2015 and a top producer until my sabbatical to manage College Nannies+Sitters, from which I've recently returned.


You see, I believe clients should expect more from their agent. When making one of your most important financial transactions, you should have a trusted advisor by your side helping every step of the way. Your agent should take the time to get to know you, your goals, and your unique situation. Advising you of all options available to you for selling or purchasing your home. My clients, whether they are buying or selling real estate, are fully informed and prepared for the journey.


When it comes to selling your home, I believe in a robust marketing plan, full transparency, and professionalism. You will not find an agent that will work harder to ensure you are fully aware of your options, have an expert advisor by your side, and have a smooth transaction from start to finish. So whether you are looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate, give me a call today to get started!
