Joal Henke's Creativity Team
Helping You Make Chattanooga Home

We serve as private real estate advisors to our sphere of influence, their families, their colleagues, and their referrals. Many are busy C-suite executives, physicians, founders, business owners, and investors looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate.

Not a Pitch. A Relationship.

You shouldn't have to interview a new advisor every time your circumstances change. When it's time to make a deal happen, we're relentless about it.

This is the team for life, the one you tell your family and friends about. We don't chase business. We serve our sphere, and we let the referrals do the talking.

One Team. Every Stage of the Relationship.

01

Buying & Selling

Primary residences, relocations, and investment property across Chattanooga and the surrounding region, handled personally from the first conversation to closing.

02

Referral Coordination

When someone in your circle needs an agent somewhere we're not licensed, we personally vet and connect them, then stay their point of contact from a distance.

03

Legacy Planning

One relationship across every property your family owns or acquires, this year and the next generation. Built for continuity, not a single transaction.

Joal Henke
REALTOR®, Founding Partner, Keller Williams Realty Chattanooga, Team Leader

Joal has spent more than two decades building relationships across Chattanooga, one family at a time. In 2005, he helped found Keller Williams Realty Chattanooga from the ground up, long before it became the market's leading brokerage, and spent his first years in the business as both a Realtor and a builder, learning real estate from the foundation up.

Before real estate, Joal ran his own Taekwondo studio for over a decade, teaching discipline, patience, and follow-through to hundreds of students. Those same values carry straight into how Creativity Team operates today: show up, do the work, and take care of people the way you'd want your own family taken care of.

★★★★★

"Joal was great to work with. He provided candid, honest feedback that ultimately led to the sale of our home. He found our new home that my wife and I fell in love with the minute we set foot in it. We felt like he always had our best interest in mind, and constantly fought for us to get the best deal. This was the second home we had purchased using Joal, and we would never consider using anyone else. His honesty, integrity, and character are what sets him apart from everyone else."

"Joal Henke is a true representative for his clients. He uses his expertise, layers it with his clients' needs and desires, then treats them like his own family to ensure the best property for the best price. We have been so pleased with Joal that we have referred 7 or more couples to him since our first home purchase with his help! Everyone has been just as excited after buying or selling a home with Joal's help."

"I had an amazing experience with the Creativity Team at Keller Williams! I am new to the area and was looking for a home with specific amenities and Brooke Tippit was able to find exactly the home I was looking for! She was extremely patient, responsive and kind with me and this process. I will definitely be referring this group to friends and colleagues."

"We wanted a realtor who we trusted wholeheartedly and who we knew had our best interest throughout our home search and buying process. With Joal, we got that and so much more! He was so knowledgeable not only of the market, but he had answers that we didn't know we had questions for. A process that would normally be extremely stressful and scary, moving across the country and buying a home, was very easy and stress free and we owe it all to Joal."
