Cooking up something good, whether it’s through their love of food or music, has always been a staple in the home of William and Stacy Bearfield.

“I enjoy cooking new dishes and only wish I were more creative and crafty but I’m trying,” said Ms. Bearfield. “I enjoy spending time with my family most of all – and especially like movie nights with my sons.”

She also enjoys watching her husband William perform in his band. Music has been a part of Mr. Bearfield’s life since he was a child. For more than 20 years, he’s played the drums and he enjoys frequent bookings as a karaoke host and D.J.

Today that collective love for making great food and music has led the Bearfields to find a new kind of harmony together in home sales.

“We’ve decided to give real estate sales a try,” said Mr. Bearfield. “Crye-Leike seems like the absolute best fit for us.”

With their newly-earned licenses to buy and sell real estate in Tennessee, the Bearfields have joined Crye-Leike, and are based out of the company’s Cleveland branch office located at 4627 North Lee Highway.

“I got into real estate with my husband to make a better life for our family and give us more opportunities to balance our careers with our family,” said Ms. Bearfield. “I hope to match people with homes that meet both their personal needs as well as their budget so they have the best chance to be a successful homeowner.”

Prior to joining the Realtor ranks, Mr. Bearfield was employed for 14 years at Maytag/Whirlpool. Ms. Bearfield had previously worked for CIGNA Healthcare from 2000 until 2006, and has since devoted herself full-time as a stay-at-home mom for her biological, adoptive and foster children.

“During my time at Maytag/Whirlpool I met a lot of people,” said Mr. Bearfield. “Hopefully I made a good impression with them and they’ll think of me when they’re ready to buy or sell a house or property.”

In addition to his real estate license, he has received special training from the Tennessee Housing Development Authority. He is knowledgeable about homeowner and homebuyer programs and the affordable housing opportunities available through the agency.

“So far this transition into real estate sales has been very exciting,” said Mrs. Bearfield. “I am looking forward to helping many people find their dream home or sell so they may start a new chapter in their life.”

William and Stacy Bearfield are licensed in Tennessee and assist buyers and sellers in and around Polk, Bradley and McMinn counties. They specialize in all types of residential real estate sales with a focus on first-time homebuyers, relocation and land.

They are members of the River Counties Association of Realtors, Tennessee Association of Realtors and National Association of Realtors. With RCAR, Mr. Bearfield serves on the Adopt-A-School Committee for Polk County.

While they currently live in Cleveland, they were longtime residents of Benton. They are foster and adoptive parents with four sons, Lee, 18, Jeremy, 17, Cody, 16, and Chris, 13.

When he’s not busy assisting clients you can usually find Mr. Bearfield making music somewhere – either on the drums or hosting an event as a DJ or with a karaoke show. Along with enjoying cooking new dishes, Ms. Bearfield also tried her hand at gardening this year and says she did surprisingly well.
