Disclaimers

Brokerage Services

Brokerage services are offered in Tennessee by licensed real estate professionals. Educational resources, consulting, and coaching are available nationwide. Where brokerage services are needed outside Tennessee, we work in cooperation with licensed real estate professionals in the applicable jurisdiction. Vendor recommendations are provided as a convenience only; clients are free to select any qualified service provider.

Real Estate Licensing, Vendor, and Service Provider Disclaimer

The information, products, services, recommendations, referrals, and resources provided through OwningTheSmokies.com are intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Independent Service Providers

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, all vendors, contractors, inspectors, photographers, lenders, insurance providers, attorneys, accountants, cleaners, maintenance professionals, consultants, coaches, property managers, and other service providers referenced on this Website are independent businesses or independent contractors.

They are not employees, agents, joint venturers, or legal representatives of Owning the Smokies.

While we may recommend professionals based on our experience and working relationships, we do not guarantee their work, pricing, availability, licensing status, insurance coverage, timelines, or results.

Property owners, buyers, sellers, and investors are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence before hiring any service provider.

You are under no obligation to use any vendor or professional recommended by us and are always free to select the service providers of your choice.

No Endorsement or Guarantee

Any recommendation, referral, preferred vendor designation, resource list, or introduction should not be interpreted as a guarantee, warranty, or endorsement of that provider's services.

Owning the Smokies assumes no responsibility or liability for the actions, omissions, workmanship, performance, contracts, pricing, or disputes involving independent service providers.

Any agreements for services are entered into directly between you and the selected provider.

Tennessee Real Estate Licensing

Real estate brokerage services offered through this Website are provided only by properly licensed real estate professionals in accordance with the laws and regulations of the State of Tennessee.

Nothing on this Website should be interpreted as an offer to provide real estate brokerage services in any jurisdiction where such services are not authorized by law.

Out-of-State Services

We are pleased to educate, consult with, and coach individuals regarding real estate ownership, investment strategy, vacation rentals, hospitality operations, business systems, and related topics throughout the United States and internationally.

However, when brokerage services are required outside the State of Tennessee, those services will be provided through or in cooperation with appropriately licensed real estate professionals in the applicable jurisdiction, as required by local law.

Owning the Smokies does not perform activities requiring a real estate license in states where we are not licensed.

Consulting and Coaching

Educational services, consulting, coaching, operational guidance, business strategy, hospitality systems, and investment education are separate from licensed real estate brokerage services.

Participation in coaching or consulting programs does not establish a broker-client relationship, agency relationship, fiduciary relationship, or representation agreement.

Any brokerage representation will be governed exclusively by a separate written brokerage agreement where applicable.

Investment Decisions

All investment decisions remain the sole responsibility of the buyer, seller, owner, or investor.

We encourage every client to consult with qualified legal, tax, accounting, insurance, lending, and financial professionals before making real estate or investment decisions.

Each market, property, and investment opportunity is unique, and past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
