Jay Sams

With more than 12 years of experience in real estate, Jay Sams brings a practical, knowledgeable approach to helping buyers and sellers throughout East Tennessee. As a REALTOR® with Heart Strong Home Group at Keller Williams, Jay has built his business around strong relationships, straightforward communication, and making sure his clients feel confident at every stage of the process.

Jay has developed particular expertise in new construction and custom homes, giving his clients valuable insight that goes beyond a typical real estate transaction. From evaluating a homesite and understanding floor plans to navigating builder contracts, construction timelines, selections, and the details that can impact a home's long-term value, his experience helps clients make better-informed decisions when building or purchasing new construction.

While new construction is one of Jay's specialties, his approach to real estate is simple: every client and every move matters, regardless of price point. Whether he's helping someone purchase their first home, sell a longtime residence, relocate to East Tennessee, find land, move into a luxury property, or build a custom home, Jay brings the same level of attention, advocacy, and commitment to the transaction.

As part of Heart Strong Home Group, Jay is backed by a team with deep experience in residential real estate, luxury homes, land, investment property, and construction, giving his clients access to additional knowledge and resources when they need it.

Outside of real estate, Jay's priorities center around his family. He enjoys spending time with his kids and loved ones, staying active, and getting in a good workout whenever his schedule allows.

For Jay, real estate isn't about the size of the transaction—it's about helping people make smart decisions and taking care of them from the first conversation through closing and beyond.
