Hixson resident Jill Riley has enjoyed being a stay at home mom to her three daughters for the last few years, but she is now beginning a real estate career.

“I‘ve been a stay at home Mom for eight years and always dreamed of going back to work,” said Jill. “Throughout the years, I always tried to follow the real estate market in the area and enjoyed reading about the houses up for sale and researching how much they sold for. Real estate quickly became something that interested me, so once I decided it was time for a career again, real estate was the obvious choice.”

“My decision to join Crye-Leike was fairly easy,” said Jill. “I really liked the company, its core values and what they offer their agents. I’m just thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful team. I’m blessed to have the support of my family, friends and my new colleagues. I couldn’t be happier!”

Jill is excited to be assisting buyers and sellers in and around Hamilton County. She specializes in all types of residential real estate sales and is a member of the Chattanooga Association of Realtors, the Tennessee Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors.

“To date, I am loving being a Realtor,” said Jill. “Chattanooga is a great city with something for everyone. I enjoy helping people discover all it has to offer.”

Prior to her career in residential real estate sales, Jill worked in the retail grocery industry for 10 years. In her most recent position, she served as a corporate support staff specialist which included training and developing managers for 23 locations.

“I assisted customers and fellow associates on a daily basis,” said Jill. “I ensured premier customer service for one of the most customer service oriented companies in the Southeast. With this customer service knowledge, I plan to use those experiences as an advantage to benefit my real estate clients.”
