Woman-Owned Kingston Brokerage Celebrates 25 Years of Service by Joining the National Brand
MADISON, N.J. (Jan. 13, 2026) – Tennessee River Realty, Inc., a boutique brokerage serving most of East Tennessee from its office in Kingston, is celebrating its 25th year of service by becoming the latest firm to affiliate with the Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate brand.
The firm, now doing business as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate TR Realty Partners, was founded in 2001 and has been led by current broker/owner Pamela Bull since 2015. Bull is an East Tennessee native, having spent her childhood growing up in the region and watching her parents run their own successful small local business. Many of their entrepreneurial qualities were passed on to Bull, who approaches real estate from a person-first perspective, while still ensuring that she and her affiliated agents are continually striving to improve. Since becoming licensed in 2015, hundreds of families can attest to her accessible, friendly business philosophy.
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate TR Realty Partners sits in a region of Tennessee defined by its lakes and mountains. Bull and many of her affiliated agents have become known for their ability to provide lakefront property expertise, in addition to assistance with luxury homes and farms.
Bull looked to affiliate with the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand not only to enhance the tools and resources available to her clients and agents, but also to create more bandwidth for herself and provide new agents with a more comprehensive onboarding process. Her firm’s mission statement revolves around the promise of enhancing the quality of life for each of her clients by providing them with appropriate information and exceptional service, and now with the centralized technology stack offered by the BHGRE® brand at their disposal, Bull and her affiliated agents can more easily achieve that.
Quotes:
“I’m incredibly proud of the Tennessee-based network that the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand has been able to build over the years, and I know that Pamela and her affiliated agents will make a fine addition to that network. Time and time again, we hear about the importance of understanding and tapping into the lifestyle of the Volunteer State, and the Tennessee River Realty brokerage has been able to do exactly that for the past 25 years. We can’t wait to provide them with the tools to help them take on the next era of the real estate industry, and we’re beyond grateful that Pamela and her affiliated agents chose to evolve with the BHGRE® brand.”

“Our purpose is to help as many people as possible, which is exactly why we decided to affiliate with a trusted, warm and person-focused brand like Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. Much of our success is directly attributed to relationship-building, which is a value that everyone at BHGRE also understands. I’ve spent my entire life growing up in East Tennessee, learning the values of its people and what sets it apart from living anywhere else in the country, and I believe that this affiliation will help us further sell the Tennessee lifestyle to an even wider audience.”
