Billy really knows Knoxville! He took the time to get to know us, what we were looking for in a home, neighborhood, etc. He made the whole home buying process stress free and straightforward. I would highly recommend Billy to help you find your perfect dream home!

Working with Billy Houston Group, specifically Leslie McLeroy, was a wonderful experience. Leslie was extremely knowledgeable with regard to the region we we looking in (West Knoxville), which we were particularly thankful for as we were moving to the area for the first time. She met with us to tour numerous properties and always had time to answer the laundry list of questions we threw at her. We've since closed on our home and Leslie still manages to knock it out of the park when we reach out to ask questions about possible referrals/recommendations for services that we're looking to enlist for our property to make it exactly how we want it. Buying a home can be a daunting process and Leslie dissolved much of the stress that can come along with the experience. Our family would recommend Leslie and the Billy Houston Group to anyone that asked when looking for a home in East Tennessee.

We worked with Leslie McLeroy and she was outstanding. Appreciate the time she spent with us and her willingness to be at our beck and call. Her positive and can do attitude was refreshing and made our home sell and house search so easy. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Leslie McLeRoy found me the home I was looking for. She helped me navigate the process and represented me professionally. I have used her before and she now has a customer for life. From searching for a home, to advising on lenders and trades people. I highly recommend Leslie McLeRoy and her team.

I’ve worked with dozens of agents and brokers in my 37 home purchasing life and nobody has made it easier than Billy. No matter how many wish list items I sent him he kept coming up with solutions for us. Love this guy and his team! True real estate professionals with actual working knowledge of the market and pricing. This is one of the largest investments a person will ever make and I am SOLD on Billy because he knows this market and knows pricing inside and out. He is a game changer in real estate!

Billy Houston is the Realtor You Want in Your Corner — Honest, Thorough, and Genuinely InvestedI can’t speak highly enough about our experience with Billy Houston. From the very first interaction, he brought a calm, steady presence to what was otherwise a very stressful time for our family. This wasn’t just about buying a house—it was about relocating to a new city, finding the right home for our kids, and making one of the biggest decisions of our lives. Billy understood that and treated it with the seriousness and care it deserved.What really sets Billy apart is his honesty. When we had concerns about the flooring in the house, he came out himself to inspect it. He didn’t brush anything off or try to talk us into something we weren’t comfortable with. He listened, gave thoughtful feedback, and helped connect us with the right people for a second opinion. That’s not something you find every day.He’s responsive, respectful of your time, and doesn’t try to sell you on anything. He genuinely wants you to be happy with your decision—and you feel that in every conversation.Thanks to Billy, we felt supported and protected through the entire process. If you’re looking for someone who combines experience with heart, this is your guy. We’re beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone serious about finding the right home.

Leslie was absolutely amazing. From the first click on Zillow to arrange a virtual tour of my, now home, (all while I was still located out of country), through closing, she had my back and made the whole process easy from my end. She asked the tough questions, facilitated everything, and was so warm and helpful. She provided great advice, even when it looked like the deal wasn't going to go through, she had options prepared and helped to get me into my dream home. I can't recommend her enough.

Billy was our realtor as we purchased our new home here in Jefferson City. He was so very knowledgeable and helped guide us through the price negotiations and all the bumps that come with purchasing a home. We very much appreciate his help and highly recommend anyone from his team to help sell your home or buy a new one.

Leslie is at the top of her game in Tennessee! She's been a joy to work with, and we're so thankful for her leading us through the process of both selling our property and buying our new one. We had a very complicated situation with multiple contingencies that needed to fit together perfectly to work, and Leslie worked tirelessly to make sure everything lined up just right! She was always so professional, but equally ready to get her boots dirty and go on some wild adventures with us as we traversed raw acreage. THANK YOU, Leslie, for always having our best interest in mind, and for helping our "forever home" dreams come true!!
