Our Story
Born Into Real Estate
I was born into real estate when my father, Jim Slyman, founded Slyman Real Estate & Auction in 1971. I grew up in the industry, but decided to go into the field of Marketing instead.
Following the Family's Passion
While earning an MBA from The University of Tennessee in 1999 I obtained my real estate license as a backup. The night I graduated, I sold my first house. It was an amazing feeling that I wanted to experience for the rest of my career!
Career Expansion and Growth
I became a full-time Realtor®, and the following year I founded the Laura Slyman Team. In 2004, I attended Missouri Auction School. I apprenticed under my father and became one of Tennessee’s very few licensed female auctioneers.
A Powerful Partnership
Things moved fast from there. A talented and experienced agent, Beth Miser, joined me in 2005 as my exclusive Buyer’s Agent. Two years later, I took over the Knoxville branch of Slyman Real Estate.
A Legacy of Industry Service
I’ve been excited to follow in Dad’s footsteps, serving as President of the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors (KAAR). Our highest honor was when we both were awarded KAAR’s REALTOR® of the Year… forty years apart.
Native Tennesseans
I’ve always called Knoxville home, and Beth Miser, my Buyer's Agent was born and raised in nearby Cleveland, Tennessee. Our connections in this area are far-reaching, and our clients appreciate that we know the region inside and out.
