Ethan Hays - Mountain Home Realty

I bring local expertise, honest communication, and dedication to help you buy, sell, or invest in Sevier County—because this isn’t just where I work, it’s home. Born and raised in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, I grew up in a family whose roots run deep in the very history of this community. My family has been here since the very beginning: my grandmother’s grandfather, Andrew Huff, built Gatlinburg’s fir

st motel, the historic Mountain View Motel. Her father, Jim Huff, and her uncle, Jack Huff, were the builders of the iconic lodges on Mount LeConte. Her mother, Henrietta McCutchan Huff, was one of the founders of Arrowmont and Pi Beta Phi Elementary, the first school in the area. From a young age, I helped my parents and grandparents run their family businesses, gaining firsthand experience in what it truly means to serve others. Whether you’re buying your first home, investing in a vacation property, or looking for land in the Smokies, I’m here to guide you every step of the way — with local insight, honest communication, and a strong commitment to your goals.
