Jim Griffin, a distinguished leader in the Tri-Cities / Southwest Virginia real estate market, embarked on his journey in 2007 with a humble mission—to facilitate his friends and family in achieving the dream of homeownership. In 2011, Jim’s career took a pivotal turn with the discovery of the influential book “Millionaire Real Estate Agent” and the birth of his first son, setting the stage for the remarkable growth of his business. What started as a desire transformed into a dream of building a team, and in late 2012, Jim made the pivotal decision to establish a real estate team, pioneering a philosophy that resonates: “Individuals make a team, but the team is what moves mountains.” This decision proved instrumental, catapulting Jim’s business to unprecedented success, and today, he proudly leads the Number 1 team in the Tri-Cities and Southwest Virginia Area.

Jim’s dedication and achievements have garnered widespread recognition. He stands as a recipient of the esteemed Top 500 Real Estate Marketers award, an accolade reserved for the top 500 marketers in the nationwide real estate industry. Multiple People’s Choice Awards for Best Real Estate Agent, a spot on the Business Journal of Tri-Cities Tennessee/Virginia’s “40 Under 40” list in 2011, and membership in the exclusive Mastermind group of the top 150 agents in the United States and Canada all underscore his industry influence. Endorsements from national figures like Dave Ramsey, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Rascal Flatts’ Gary Levox, John Boy and Billy, and local radio hosts Marc Tragler, and Izzy Real further speak to Jim’s standing. Additionally, Jim and his team have earned recognition from the Real Trends and Wall Street Journal as one of the top agents in Tennessee and the country.

Jim’s commitment to excellence extends to the team he has meticulously built—a cadre of specialists dedicated to guiding clients effortlessly through each step of the real estate process. Firmly believing in the power of teamwork, Jim emphasizes, “A team will always outperform an individual!” The Griffin Home Group is known not only for their professional acumen but also for being a joy to work with.

In a playful nod to Taylor Swift’s record-breaking success, Jim adds a touch of humor to his profile: “In honor of T Swift breaking the record for Billboard Hits – I promise that you’ll never find another like [us].” As a College Piano major turned CEO, Jim proudly runs the largest eXp team in North East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Entrusting a referral to the Griffin Home Group guarantees VIP treatment, ensuring that every client is cared for by a team dedicated to building and nurturing relationships. With Inside Sales, Listing, and Transaction Management all handled with a personal touch, the Griffin Home Group embodies the mantra—Growing, Helping, Giving.

Beyond real estate, Jim has served on the board for CASA NorthEast Tennessee since 2018, advocating passionately for children in the local market. He and his team also consistently volunteer and assist in raising funds for multiple non-profits in the region.

With over 2500 homes sold and nearly a billion dollars in real estate transactions, Jim and his team consistently outperform, selling more listings for higher values than the average agent or team.
