I'm John Mendoza, a local broker who specializes in land — lots, acreage, and development parcels across Sevier and Blount County. Tell me where your property is and I'll give you an honest, no-obligation opinion of what it's worth today.
This isn't a promise about what I might do with your land. These are my actual closed lot and acreage sales, straight from the MLS — quarter-acre lots to 25-acre farms, residential to commercial.
All sales closed by John Mendoza, Realty Executives Associates. Sold data sourced from East Tennessee Realtors® MLS; deemed reliable but not guaranteed. One sale shown ($60,000, Village Circle) closed $18,500 above its $41,500 list price.
Two parcels on the same road can be worth wildly different amounts. When I value your land, these are the things I'm actually checking:
Deeded access, road condition, and how much frontage you have. Landlocked parcels and steep gravel approaches price very differently.
Power at the road, water availability, sewer vs. septic — and whether the soil will actually perc. This alone can swing value dramatically.
Usable building pads, slope, and site work cost. A view is worth money — but only if a buyer can affordably put a cabin in front of it.
Whether the parcel can host a short-term rental cabin is often the single biggest value driver in this county. I know the rules parcel by parcel.
Larger tracts may be worth more split than whole. I've worked subdivision planning with surveyors and the planning commission firsthand.
I work directly with active builders who are buying lots right now — I know what they're paying and what they're hunting for.
Different owners want different things. Some want every last dollar; some want done-and-paid with zero hassle. I do both — and I'll tell you honestly which fits your situation.
Full market exposure for the strongest price. Best for parcels with broad appeal and owners who can wait for the right buyer.
If you'd rather skip the listing process entirely, I work with investors and builders who buy land directly — as-is, on your timeline.
Call, text, or email the county and road — or just the parcel number from your tax bill. That's all I need to start.
I pull comps, check zoning and utilities, and tell you straight what it's worth — and whether listing or selling direct nets you more.
List it, sell it direct, or sit on it — your call. The value opinion is free either way, and there's never pressure.
Free, local, and honest — usually within a day or two.
Value opinions are broker price opinions, not appraisals. Hablo español — atiendo a propietarios en español también. John Mendoza, Affiliate Broker, Realty Executives Associates, licensed in Tennessee.
