Meet The Team

  • Rick Cochran - Real Estate Broker - Tennessee / Real Estate Sales Associate - Florida
  • Karen Cochran - Real Estate Affiliate Broker - Tennessee / Real Estate Sales Associate - Florida

Rick joined the United States Air Force right out of high school where he served for 6 years. A Florida native, Rick settled back into his home town Tampa Bay area where he became a law enforcement officer serving for more than 25 years.

During that time, Rick graduated from Saint Leo University, and started his real estate career with Keller Williams Realty in 2005 as a part-time agent.

A Florida native, Karen worked for 25 years in the auto insurance industry in the Tampa Bay area. In 2005, Karen started her real estate career with Keller Williams Realty as well, and they started The Cochran Team, focusing their business on residential real estate transactions including first-time homebuyers, beachfront vacation homes, and homes with acreage.

Spending vacations in the Smoky Mountains, Rick and Karen fell in love with the beauty and charm of east Tennessee. After retiring from law enforcement in January 2019, Rick and Karen made the decision to move to Maryville, and rejoined their Keller Williams family.

After making the move they always dreamed of, The Cochran Team now focuses their business on residential home sales, and helping clients find their perfect dream homes in the beautiful foothills of east Tennessee.

I couldn’t believe how fast The Cochran team sold my property. I was contacted by Mr. Cochran, I liked what the team had in mind about my property. I signed an agreement, for the team to sell my property. I was amazed… four months later, it was sold. The Cochran team stand behind their promise. Sign up with the Cochran team, you will be happy you did. God Bless Rick & Karen.

One of my best experiences with an agent. Rick kept me updated constantly on the status of the house. He readily assisted me on the prep work necessary to market the house. If ever needed I would use him again and I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house.

I had a property for sale in a secluded location in the mountains. Initially, I went with a well-established local realtor, thinking, “They know the area market and have been around for a while. They’ll have it sold in no time!” Fast forward one year—after only a handful of showings and two false starts under contract—I was finally free from a realtor who simply didn’t put in the effort. Shortly after parting ways with the previous realtor, I received a mailer from The Cochran Team. The tagline, “Mountain Living Eastern Tennessee Real Estate,” caught my attention—it sounded like exactly the type of expertise I needed for my property.

We chose to use the seller’s realtor. It worked very well. The Cochran team was very quick to respond and kept us informed. They accommodate use very well on viewing and inspections. Thank you, Rick and Karen. We love the place!

There probably isn’t enough room to express how great Rick and his wife are but I’ll try to give an abridged version. My wife and I have been on the house hunt for nearly a year. After a couple months working with a family friend, and getting nowhere we managed to get linked to the Cochran team with Keller Williams and what a blessing in disguise. Rick reached out immediately and began to go to work in the search for our home. Being first time buyers we had numerous questions, and Rick never hesitated to help in any way he could to make this a memorable experience and find what we needed and what was best suited for our family…

My wife and I would highly recommend The Cochran Team. Our home was presented very well. Throughout the process of selling our home, they were always there for us. We felt very comfortable without any worries or concerns. We’re very happy and look forward to working with Rick and Karen in finding our next dream home. We feel truly blessed. Thank you

Rick was a great realtor. He visited many houses for us as we were buying from out of state. He was very honest, thorough, personable, and easy to work with. With his help, we were able to buy our dream home in Tennessee. Thank you Rick!

My wife and have had property on the market, on and off, for the the last 4 years. The property was located in Coker Creek TN. For 3 years we had no offers.

We signed a contract with The Cochran Team and sold our property within 6 months. Rick talked to us about the market and kept us updated throughout the process. Our land was well advertised and I believe this marketing strategy contributed to the sale.

I would recommend The Cochran Team to anyone who is interested in personalized and professional real estate service.
