We’re Lesley and Jeromy Adams — a husband-and-wife team who traded Houston’s hustle for Wears Valley’s ridgelines more than a decade ago.
We didn’t just move here; we rooted here. We built our dream home, raised our kids, and filled nine acres with goats, dogs, chickens, and a baby orchard that thinks it’s bigger than it is. We’re not only your real estate agents — we’re neighbors, investors, and community members who know every curve of these mountain roads (and most of the shortcuts).
Lesley Adams
Lesley sees homes as more than square footage — they’re sanctuaries. As a licensed broker, she blends sharp real estate expertise with a holistic lens she calls “inner temple, outer sanctuary.” Whether you’re buying an investment cabin or finding a forever home, she helps clients create spaces that feel aligned, peaceful, and profitable. Beyond Homes of the Smokies, Lesley curates writing, coaching, and creative offerings through Sage Spinner — a blend of poetry, storytelling, and spiritual guidance. She’s also the goat-herder in chief, wrangling both livestock and family calendars with equal determination.
Jeromy Adams
Jeromy is the pragmatic half of the duo — though don’t let him fool you, he’s as charmed by a Smoky Mountain sunset as anyone. He brings years of investing and property know-how, paired with a straight-shooting sense of humor that clients love. Jeromy is the one who’ll calculate the ROI, climb into the crawlspace, and still make you laugh while doing it. Around the homestead, he’s the fence-builder, chicken-wrangler, and unofficial orchard whisperer (mostly to keep the goats from eating it).
Our Approach
At Homes of the Smokies, we combine local expertise, investment savvy, and a deep love for mountain living. From holistic home curation to rental analysis, from cabins to community connections, our work is about more than real estate — it’s about helping you find your place in these hills and making it feel like home
