KIND WORDS
‘Travis Close is the hardest working realtor I have ever seen. He is committed to giving his clients the best service possible. Growing up in Signal Mtn his personal insight and knowledge of the town is unsurpassed. He was always available and went the extra mile during our purchase to make sure the process proceeded as it should. It was a pleasure to work with Travis, I would highly recommend TCH to anyone looking for a dedicated realtor in this area.’
Wayne Darinzo | Signal Mountain
‘Travis is a great experienced REALTOR with tremendous local knowledge of Signal Mountain. We had already moved from the area, but felt at ease knowing that our home was on good hands with Travis and his team. We had a very good experience with him. You will too.’
Steven Wright | Signal Mountain
‘Travis did a great job with the sale of our family home. The process was smooth and the house sold within a few days of the listing. I would recommend Travis and his team.’
Teresa Ward | Hixson
‘Travis Close's team nailed it for these happily-homed new Chattanoogans! He willingly shuffled my time-strapped husband around town, Travis met him face to face, and via phone with me frequently; the team patiently met our many needs through closing, and holidays, then was a joyful presence to have at the week of closing! As out of town folks, we didn't know how things worked in this new arena, so we sure lucked out on the Travis Close crew! We had a tricky ask for something historic yet maintained on a large area of land yet city-proximal; so for the team to have been so successful in a short timeline around the holidays says a lot about their cohesion and time management! Highly recommend!’
Marissa Miller | Chattanooga
‘We couldn’t be happier with using Travis as our agent. The speed and professionalism in which he sold our house and found our new one was incredible. We look forward to working with him in the future for all our real estate needs and we have already referred him to several of our friends on and off the mountain.’
David & Mardi Leonard | Signal Mountain’
‘Travis did an excellent job of identifying homes that were a good fit for me while also putting together a good game plan that maximized our time. Though I have bought a house and recently moved in, Travis continues to follow-up with me to ensure I’m happy with my decision. I would recommend Travis to any potential buyer.’
Aaron Lee | Black Creek Mountain
‘My husband and I are from Michigan and planning to relocate to the Chattanooga area. Travis’s expertise in the housing market and construction were invaluable in selecting a builder for our new home. He helped oversee many details, visiting the site regularly, taking pictures for us and making suggestions for things to include in the home, since we had never had a house built before. He was diligent in making sure the process was smooth and as trouble fee as possible. We hope to have several friends and family relocate also, and will tell them what a huge help Travis was in our transition to Tennessee.’
Donna Brewer | Ooltewah
‘We’re retired military, so we’ve bought and sold a lot of homes, both for our personal use and as investment properties. Travis is the best REALTOR we’ve ever worked with. We usually wind up with the highest producing, most experienced realtors that a firm has to offer because we usually use a referral service offered by our credit union. We’ve had more experienced realtors than Travis, but none with a stronger skill set or stronger work ethic. We initially chose Travis for his extensive knowledge and passion for “dirt”. He not only knows the market, he is extremely well versed in construction. We ultimately decided that we were better off purchasing “brick”, a home already standing. It was a difficult process because my husband and I wanted entirely different things in our home. Travis was unflappable and really did a great job of finding properties that worked for both of us. And, because we are still new to Chattanooga he did a marvelous job on educating us regarding the different areas and what they had to offer. When we finally found a home that we both really wanted, Travis had a contract ready to go. His recommendations for the offer were spot on. He stayed on top of every detail throughout the entire transaction. And when we wound up with the VA appraiser from hell, he fought hard for us and our contract. In the 30 years that I’ve been buying/selling properties, Travis is the only REALTOR that obtained more concessions from the other party than we asked for. After finding our home and getting us into it (which we both love more every day), Travis went the extra mile of making us feel at home. He’s kept in touch and has helped us to find everything that we need within the community. Travis demonstrated a remarkable depth of knowledge of the local market, land issues, construction, neighborhoods, HOAs, taxes, zoning, planning board issues, contracts, VA… He helped us to determine the best path for us, and he managed it all with grace, aplomb and impeccable professionalism. We couldn’t be more impressed.’
Anna Brandt | Signal Mountain
‘Travis is an EXCELLENT Realtor! He really goes the extra mile to get you YOUR DREAM HOME! He took us to nearly every home for sale in Chattanooga, TN (East Brainered and Signal Mountain areas) – some we ended up going to twice. He helped us on weekends and nights and is available 24/7 – Definitely helpful when you have important questions! Once we found our new home, he got us a great deal. If we ever end up selling – We’re going to hire Travis!’
Andrew & Erica McCallie | East Brainerd
‘Travis really went the extra mile to help us procure our new house. We are extremely grateful for his time and effort. Felt more like we were dealing with a friend than a agent. All in all a great experience.’
Patrick Stoker | Signal Mountain
‘I would not be purchasing a house without the help of Travis Close! He has been professional and caring and has had my best interests at heart. He has spent lots of time and energy in helping me accomplish my dream. Without hesitation, I can recommend him.’
Bobbie Colquette | East Brainerd
‘Our family recently relocated to the Signal Mountain area. We attended an open house hosted my Travis. Mr. Close was very professional and knowledgable. He proceeded to show us another property which was perfect for our family. The entire purchase process was smooth and painless. I highly recommend Travis.’
Tonia Sherrill | Signal Mountain
‘Travis is the most patient and kind realtor I’ve ever known. Having bought two houses with his help, he constantly impresses me with his unflappable ability to assess a situation, positively work through it or around it, and move forward. It’s obvious he loves realty and helping folks find the right home because he showed me at least 30 homes for my first buy with him. What’s even better, he has vision when it comes to remodeling and is a willing partner to bounce ideas off of with obvious knowledge in that area.’
Michelle Michaud | Signal Mountain
‘I chose Travis Close at random but could not have been happier with my choice. He worked tirelessly with me to find the perfect home and bring the process to closing. My situation was unique in that I live overseas making the coordination and follow-up that much more difficult. Travis’s counsel throughout the purchase was outstanding. I would highly recommend Travis’ team to anyone.’
Mac Cessna | Signal Mountain
‘Really enjoyed working with Travis. He knows the Chattanooga market well and keeps up on national news and trends. He’s honest and will get you the best deal possible. His advice on home buying and selling is the BEST. The thing I like most is that he tells you like it is and keeps a good line of communication. Call Travis and his team TODAY if you want your house SOLD!!’
Erica McCallie | Southside
‘My husband and I are frankly very difficult to work with. We have very specific requirements and came with baggage after bad experience with another realtor. Travis was fantastic. He was patient, always had the answers we needed even before we asked the question, and didn’t force us into anything. We looked at quite a few homes and really appreciated is knowledge of the area and housing market. Through the offer process and closing Travis was amazing at negotiating a solid deal. We highly recommend him and actually plan to continue to use him in the future.’
Rachel Nelson | Hixson
‘My wife and I just can’t say enough good things about Travis. He did an excellent job helping us locate and acquire suitable acreage on which to build our home. His knowledge was indispensable in helping us navigate the many potential problems associated with purchasing acreage. He has extensive connections with industry professionals, from soil scientists to builders, which comes in really handy when determining a property’s feasibility. For a relatively inexpensive purchase, we are amazed at the amount of work Travis put in. We will definitely hire him again.’
Andy Williams & Diane Welch | Signal Mountain
‘Travis was our agent in looking to purchase a home. After last having bought a home 30 years ago, we needed someone who had a great grasp of current home shopping methods, a strong understanding of the market, a thorough understanding of what is a high quality built home and was highly responsive and provided great consultation especially where we may have overlooked something or not considered something – a real concern as we were moving to a new city and state. He listened to what we were looking for and kept us on the path. We checked every box with Travis and his team. He exhibited great PATIENCE(!) in looking at MANY properties and went the extra mile regardless of day of week or time of day to get us into properties. When we found the property we wanted to buy he was there with us every step of the way and kept the process moving forward. His familiarity with the real estate community here and the ancillary services that support real estate activity was a real plus in getting our purchase closed on schedule. Ours was a new construction and we believe without Travis’ knowledge of new construction (which is significant) and the potential issues that can arise we might not have had such a smooth close. There are few professionals we have ever met that we would so highly and unconditionally recommend.’
Sue & William Lloyd | East Brainerd
‘I would recommend Travis Close to a family member, friend, and/or colleague without a split second hesitation. First and foremost, I believe he is a good honest person. Second, the guy just loves houses and real estate. He loves showing, discussing, and helping you imagine how to make a certain house your home. This passion makes him very good at what he does. Lastly, he was there for my family through the entire process. My past observations have been that once the offers are accepted, some agents fade away and focus on the next potential deal. Travis was nothing like that. He was extremely responsive. 6 weeks ago I did not know Travis Close from Adam. I now consider him a trusted agent and friend.’
Philip Gaglia | Signal Mountain
‘Travis went above and beyond for us in so may ways! He was very patient and understanding with us as first time home buyers. He openly listened to our concerns and provided possible solutions. I would highly recommend Travis!’

‘Travis did an excellent job getting our home sold! We had already moved out of state and he handled many details for us including checking on the house, getting quotes, and scheduling a few contractors. He was always quick to respond to any questions & concerns. We trusted is knowledge and advice which was so important when going through the stress of selling a home. He knows the local area very well. I would highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs.’
Ben & Janet Labarge | Signal Mountain
‘I would highly recommend Travis Close to anyone who is in the market for a new home. Travis has a very warm, friendly personality and really takes the time to listen to his customers. He spent a considerable amount of time with us driving to all the homes that we thought we may be interested in. He was very patient as we struggled to find to exactly what we were looking for. He always made us feel comfortable. Travis was also very knowledgeable about the area and was just a great resource all around. He certainly made our house hunting experience an enjoyable one. We will definitely be using him again when the time comes!’

Bonnie Cass | Chattanooga
‘We worked with Travis while purchasing a lot and new home construction. Though Travis actually represented the builder we always felt he was in tune to our wants and helped us through our first building project. There is no question Travis will be our first call if we deceide to sell and/or purchase a new home. We would recommend Travis to anybody looking for a high quality realtor they can trust.
Scott Thompson | Signal Mountain
‘Travis was very cordial and made me feel like he really cared about giving me good service on selling my property. He gave me advice on what to do with the property and I greatly appreciated it. I would definitely would recommend him as a realtor.’
Diane Tipton | Signal Mountain
‘Travis helped us find a house in Chattanooga when we moved here from Murphy, North Carolina. I believe he showed us a total of 21 houses over a period of a few weeks, as we had some very specific things we were looking for in a new home. He was very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a competent and helpful Realtor.
Howard Groff | East Brainerd
‘After a career as a Healthcare Executive I am now indulging a long standing desire to Flip Houses. What can be an incredibly satisfying venture is only possible with an experienced, attentive Real Estate Professional due to the inherent financial risks involved. One must buy right and sell right every time in order to continue. Travis and his staff have steered me towards and away from several options and have been accurate in their assessment. All inquiries regardless of the format are answered quickly. Having someone as personable and knowledgeable as Travis representing you allows you to relax and trust someone has your best interests in mind and takes the stress out of buying or selling.’
Colby & Rob Marrow | Hixson
‘Travis has been great. My property was not a big money sale, but Travis and the team have worked hard to help me sell. The property was empty land and during a time when it seemed no one was buying land to build on, Travis got 2 offers. As this recommendation is written, we are waiting on a closing date for a FULL PRICE offer. Great job Team!’
Ken Colton | Jasper
‘Travis was very patient with us during the search for our first home, even though at times it seemed like nothing would meet our search criteria. Once we found the perfect property, Travis went above and beyond to make sure that all paperwork was filled out in a timely manner and I understood exactly what was needed on my end to seal the deal. He was available day or night to answer even the most trivial questions that I had. Travis provided copious amounts of time to help us and it felt like we were his only clients. I will definitely recommend Travis to anyone I know that is looking to buy or sell a home.’
Jacob Johnson | East Ridge
‘Travis listed a home for our business and had a contract very quickly. We were pleased with how fast and efficient he was. We plan on using him again!’
Bonnie Cass | Chattanooga
‘Travis did an excellent job for us. We purchased our previous home without the assistance of any brokers and it went fine. But for this most recent purchase, we would not have been successful without Travis’ help and expertise. One of the things that impresses me the most about Travis is how comfortable he is with technology. He really outshines the old school agents in that regard. That knowledge translates into more convenience for his clients. I highly recommend him.’
Jason & Deanna Luna | Signal Mountain
‘Travis knows the market extremely well and is committed to customer satisfaction. He made the home buying process easy! I told him what I was looking for and he found it with ease! I would definitely use him as my realtor again.’
Heather Murphy | Hixson
‘Great help! We looked all over the area to find a house and they stuck with us every step. There was another offer on the house we wanted and they gave good advice to help us get the house.’
Kathryn Wigginton | Chattanooga
‘Because I am currently residing in Seattle, WA I was not able to travel to Chattanooga to look at homes. Travis worked with me long distance and with my son locally to find the perfect home. All documents were signed on line and the process was seamless thanks to Travis. Travis answered all my questions and was great at negotiating a good price.’
Monica Angevine | Red Bank
‘Great experience working with Travis and his wife to help us make our dream home a reality. I would highly recommend working with him as someone who is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of Signal Mountain.’
Traci Vitek | Flipper Bend
‘Travis was instrumental in facilitating the purchase of my fiancé and I's new home in Chattanooga, TN. With several concerns in moving to a new city, Travis was able to ease our minds by simplifying the home buying process and by providing expert insight on areas that best fit our lifestyle and our future goals.’
Josh Butler | North Chattanooga
‘Travis made our dream come true! When we were purchasing land on Flipper Bend through Travis, we had an unexpected problem with our bank.
We almost had to walk away, but a realtor friend told us that Travis has a great reputation for working out issues with his clients.
So, we called him, and he was really flexible and understanding and worked with us. We were able to purchase the property and grateful he was a man of his word! Now we have our dream house. Travis has been extremely prompt with answering our texts when we had questions or issues.
He is extremely knowledgeable and has an answer to every question.Travis is someone you can trust!’
Matt Vargo | Flipper Bend
