Jennifer Fox

Jennifer Fox

Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, I’ve been working in the title industry since 2019 and have grown to truly love the fast-paced, detail-oriented nature of the work. Helping clients navigate one of the most important transactions of their lives—buying or selling a home—is something I take great pride in, and I’m committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

I’m a proud mom to two incredible kids: a spirited 14-year-old and an energetic 3-year-old who both keep me on my toes and fill my life with purpose. They’re my biggest motivation and the reason I strive for balance between career and family.

When I’m not at work, you can usually find me cheering on my beloved Tennessee Volunteers—Go Big Orange! I’m an avid crocheter, a lover of nature who enjoys hiking our beautiful local trails, and a bookworm who always has a new novel on deck. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors or curling up with yarn and a good story, I treasure the quiet moments that bring peace and creativity into my life.
