Katie Ridgway

I love real estate—the people, the properties, the excitement, the commitment, the continuing education, the sales process, the negotiations… everything about it! Real estate has been in my family for years, and I have had the privilege of enjoying this profession since 2010. My career began on the beautiful island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where I assisted both buyers and sellers with local real estate and helped vacationers find stunning waterfront and island luxury. Life then moved my family to Knoxville, TN, where I have thrived not only in my personal life but also in my professional life as a REALTOR®. I adore East Tennessee—the outdoor life, the restaurants, the people, the mountains. This is my home, and I am honored to work in an industry that supports my local community.

I have also enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) supporting our real estate community and industry by serving on local and state boards. I am currently on the Board of Directors and leadership team for East Tennessee REALTORS® (ETNR) and have been since 2022. I am a Past President of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Knoxville Network and am thrilled at how our Network continues to thrive and grow! I have served on multiple ETNR committees over the years and serve on state-level committees for Tennessee REALTORS® and the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Tennessee. I am also a 2024 graduate of the Tennessee State leadership program called A.R.E.A., which stands for Tennessee REALTORS® Academy of Real Estate Advancement. I am a REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Major Investor and enjoy volunteering as the room parent for both my kids’ classes, contributing my time and/or monetary donations to local charities each year, and running the HOA in my neighborhood.

I believe being involved in my local community and my industry is essential for knowledge and leads to success for my customers and clients. Let’s sit down over a cup of coffee or tea and talk about how I can assist you in your real estate journey!
