Originally from the Chattanooga, TN area, Jeana fell in love with the Smokies during a visit while dating her husband. What started as a quick getaway became a life-changing vision — and soon, a reality.

In addition to being a top-producing short term rental realtor, Jeana owns a stunning vintage A-frame cabin in Gatlinburg, which she personally renovated and now operates as a successful vacation rental. The property was featured on HGTV for its design, rehab, and mountaintop views — showcasing her eye for detail and real-world experience as an investor.
