Is David Shipley licensed in Tennessee and Georgia?

How do I search for homes for sale in Chattanooga?
Use the home search on David's RE/MAX page to browse current listings. When you find one you like, send David a message and he will set up a showing and walk you through the next steps.
Do I need to be pre-qualified before I look at homes?
It is strongly recommended. A pre-qualification shows you a realistic price range and helps your offers get taken seriously. The team can connect you with a lender, and you can start the process online on the Get Pre-Qualified page.
How do I find out what my Chattanooga home is worth?
You can request a free home value estimate through David's RE/MAX valuation tool. For a more precise number, David can review your home in person and compare it with recent local sales.
Why hire a listing agent instead of selling on my own?
David's view is that hiring a selling agent often leaves you with more net profit after commission than going it alone, because a good agent prices, markets, and negotiates for you. Reach out and he will walk through the numbers for your home.
Does the team handle commercial real estate?
Yes. The David Shipley Team specializes in listing and selling both residential and commercial properties.
