About Me:

I''m originally from Kentucky but I have lived in Kingsport for 45 years. Love this beautiful area. 

Professional Experience:

-Worked at Eastman for 41.5 years

- Work with my husband to remodel houses

Community Involvement:

- Deliver Meals On Wheel

- Participate in United Way of Kingsport

As a nurse, I have cared for the people of the Appalachian Highlands for 35 years. I was the Clinical Manager for Cardiac Surgery at a local top 100 Cardiac Hospital for 15 of those years. I was responsible for thousands of patient''s lives, as well as the coordination of hundreds of employees. All while negotiating with vendors for the best prices. I drove a hard bargain to deliver the very best care possible for our patients, while maintaining the lowest costs in the region. I am very proud to say we had excellent patient outcomes with nearly zero infection rates. My staff fondly called me "the warden"... Oh, those good old days... I was so fortunate and so incredibly blessed to be a part of that program.

Now, my role has changed and I will be serving you in a different capacity... as your local realtor. My goal is to transfer all of those life skills- customer service, problem solving, negotiating... into what has always been my passion- home decor, landscaping, construction, and, of course, real estate, where I plan to focus on residential properties and vacation homes. With that said, I have been told that I have an artist eye and I will be happy to assist you to stage your home, if needed.

So, that’s my story and, now, I want to hear yours. If you have not been pre-approved for a loan, the first thing I will do is share with you the documents you need to submit with your loan application, so you will be prepared. If you do not have a lender, I can guide you to at least three (I know many more), based on your situation, location, and credit score. Once we get all of that red tape out of the way, we can focus on properties within your price range.


Sellers- our process is a bit different. We need to sit down and discuss all aspects of your property, from the crawl space to the chimney top. I will need for you to complete a property disclosure, which details all aspects of the property. It’s about six pages long, with mostly check-marks and a few fill-in-the-blanks, so don’t get nervous, we’re not going to write a book. My rule of thumb is disclose, disclose, disclose… Next, if you want to get top dollar for your home, staging is crucial. If your home is cluttered, I will share some tips and tricks to get you organized and ready to host that open house in a short period of time. Maybe you just need a fresh coat of paint or to rearrange some furniture to make your house flow better, I am here for you.

So, with that said, I’m ready to get to work. And, as you can see by now, it takes more than luck to buy or sell a home. So, give me a call, you’re in good hands with me!

Looking forward!

Sherry Drumwright

As a Realtor Licensed in Tennessee and Virginia, I understand how stressful buying or selling a home can be. My goal is to make the process as easy as possible for you. I will keep informed through out the entire process, I will answer or return your calls promptly. I have 20 years in Property Management as well as 5 years experience in Sales and Marketing. Staying calm under pressure comes with experience and is a necessity in Real Estate. Call me, I get Results

Life is about experience and how you express yourself throughout the journey. Not just what you take from those experiences, but how you give back. My background consists of sales, marketing, purchasing, and business development. I gave a lot of myself to help those companies grow, but it wasn't very fulfilling. What it did give me was the ability to hone my skills and apply them to what I do today. (Spoiler Alert — it's real estate. After all, my handle is eakrealtor.)

About 12 years ago, I took my daughter to look at a house. It was a new construction, and beautifully decorated. The colors sang to me, the texture of the fabrics invited me to caress them, and the house welcomed me as though I was already home. Walking through the house, my creative side was in its element—however, my analytical brain also needed to be fed. When the salesman came into view, I immediately began firing off questions, compiling information, and analyzing numbers and other fine details. I remember the salesman asking me if I was in real estate. My daughter tugged on my arm and smiled her lopsided grin—the one she gives when she knows something I do not. I laughed and answered "no, why do you ask?" The salesman shifted from foot to foot and said I knew my stuff. I have always held an interest in real estate, but had never made the transition. Years later, here I am, a Realtor, but I. AM. NOT. your cookie cutter Realtor. I've traded business attire and stilettos for my signature Converse, or hiking boots (after all, I do reside in the Appalachian mountains), jeans, a graphic tee, and if weather and driveways permit, a sport bike. Yes, I do show up showered, tresses combed (most of the time, they are wild curls—we battle often), but I'm no longer trying to "fit in" to a mold someone else has created. My goal of finding buyers not the right house, but the right home, and helping sellers properly market and sell their home so they can begin a new chapter of their life is both satisfying and rewarding. Yes, there are still hurdles to contend with—I call them negotiations, home inspections, and appraisals—but ultimately, things come together because I work hard to help you realize your goals by marrying my creative side with my analytical side. So while I'm terrible at baking cookies, I am not your cookie cutter realtor. If you're ready to be shaken, and not stirred, send me a text or an email, and let's make your real estate goals happen together—because let's face it, there's no me without you!

Sales/Business Philosophy: Whether buying, selling, or investing in a home, my commitment is to provide my clients and customers with unmatched service and to get the RESULTS they want. I work hard & I work smart by utilizing the latest systems and technologies. I am honest and always concerned about my client’s and customer’s best interest.

- Bringing 25 years of construction research experience into my career as a realtor for the Tri-Cities Tennessee Area. I understand that purchasing a new home or investing in your first commercial property can be an exciting new venture as well as a very stressful one. You can minimize some of this stress by surrounding yourself with knowledgeable individuals that know and understand how real estate works. I ask that you allow me this opportunity. You'll soon find that you have more than a realtor in your corner but a trusting partner you can rely on.

- My philosophy in Business is simple “Do what you love to do and make yourself available to share what you’ve learned with others”. My job as a Realtor affords me these two great opportunities. My career choice has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge of Real Estate with others and in doing so I’ve been able to help others make good buying and selling decisions for themselves and for their loved ones. I’ve been very fortunate to have met so many clients from various different backgrounds and stages of life. I consider it an honor to work hard for them. I strive to better understand the needs of my clients. My Goal: I want to leave my clients with a good experience in home buying and/or selling and I want to walk away being reminded why I love this job so much…. it’s all about the people.
