Realtor Lisa Whittle has joined the Crye-Leike, Realtors Ooltewah branch office located at 5913 Main St.

Ms. Whittle transferred her license to Crye-Leike from The James Company Real Estate Brokers where she worked for two years.

“This career change has been monumental for me,” said Ms. Whittle. “I choose Crye-Leike because of all the support you get as a realtor. The in house marketing department is second to none and they work hard to help agents compete in today’s market.”

Prior to her work in residential real estate sales, Ms. Whittle worked for Agency Insurance Group of Chattanooga and served as vice president.

Since January 2008 Ms. Whittle has been a full-time licensed realtor in Tennessee assisting buyers and sellers in and around Hamilton and Bradley counties.

She specializes in residential real estate focusing her business on first-time home buyers, commercial and investment properties, relocation and new home construction. Ms. Whittle is also licensed to assist clients in Georgia and is a member of the Chattanooga Association of Realtors, the Georgia Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. She is currently completing training to earn her professional real estate designation as a Graduate Realtor Institute.

“There is a true team spirit in Crye-Leike’s Ooltewah office and our Managing Broker Dan Griess is one of the main reasons I chose the company,” said Ms. Whittle. “Our office is active in the community having cookouts, doing community projects and spreading our name throughout the community. I could not be happier to be associated with a company that conducts business in such a professional way.”

Ms. Whittle lives in Ooltewah with her husband Bob. They have been married 31 years and have three children Rob (21), Reid (23), and Ryan (27). When Ms. Whittle is not busy assisting clients, she enjoys cooking for friends and family and boating and jet-skiing on the lake beside her home. Ms. Whittle also loves to paint and attend artists’ workshops in her free time. She is a member of the Christ United Methodist Church.

“The Ooltewah area is rapidly growing by leaps and bounds. We have excellent schools and the community is terrific,” said Ms. Whittle. “With the Volkswagen plant developing in our area, Ooltewah was a logical choice of where I wanted to grow my business. I’m working hard to develop me sphere of influence and expand my business to the Ooltewah area with dedicated commitment to all or my real estate clients.”

Thoughs On The Mathews Sentencing

It is not by coincidence I haven’t submitted an opinion piece in some time to the Chattanoogan.  The topics I cover are generally vitriolic in regards to local political decisions and their makers regarding public safety and I do not wish to associate my name with more noble subjects such as that of the heroic death and cowardly murder of Chattanooga Police Sergeant Tim Chapin, ...

Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
