Richard Banks is the veteran broker and owner of Northeast Tennessee Real Estate, based in Johnson City, Tennessee. Spanning a career of over four decades, Banks has worked as a flipper, buy-and-hold investor, short-term rental host, and property manager overseeing hundreds of residential units. Immersed in the industry from childhood by a custom home builder father and a real estate agent mother, he has spent his career building an independent, cash-flowing real estate portfolio to serve as a self-funded retirement vehicle. At age 70, Banks continues to actively sell and invest while successfully transitioning day-to-day operations to an equity-partner successor.
