If you oversee the scheduling of guest speakers for your HOA or other group meeting, I have a few dates left on my calendar for this year. It would be an honor to visit with your group to answer any questions you might have regarding what we do in the Register’s office, talk about real estate transfers, and discuss the FREE Property Fraud Alert program that is now available to property owners in Knox County. I have plenty of good information that you may find helpful. Give me a call at the office 865-215-2330 to schedule a time. Visit our revamped website here: https://rod.knoxcounty.org/
