The Old House Agent

I am a native of Southwest Virginia who believes the best cities in America are those that preserve and protect their history through preservation and restoration, while also caring for its residents and downtown neighborhoods. My wife, Monica, and I put these beliefs into action by personally investing in Bristol, Virginia's historic buildings and providing homes where families can live comfortably, as well as short term vacation properties to welcome people visiting the growing city. This effort has made an impact in the city by increasing property values for neighboring property owners, making streets safer, and eliminating derelict houses. 

My family lives in the Solar Hill Historic District, where we own three significant properties including our home, the historic King-Mitchell House which was built in 1816 as the main house overlooking the plantation in the valley that would later become downtown Bristol. I have gained national recognition for notable transactions like the 2023 sale of the famous W.A. Stuart house to Michelle Bowers, creator of the The Old House Life website and the 2025 sale of Hayslope, the 1785 home of Tennessee Constitution signer James Roddye. 

In my work, I am known as The Old House Agent® and I specialize in homes built prior to 1930. I am a content creator and community leader that builds strong relationships and uses up-to-date technology to market properties. With the use of a professional photographer, social media, website, and YouTube, your home can have the exposure it needs to sell quickly. My social media reach is around 2 million people every month and over 40,000 interactions online. The Old House Agent is Registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
