Stuart White

President and CEO

President and CEO Stuart White started Realtracs more than 20 years ago and has grown it into the largest MLS in the state of Tennessee. Stuart ensures Realtracs supports and enhances a strong and cooperative real estate marketplace for brokers, buyers and sellers. He deeply believes that using a Realtor to buy and sell a home is the key to maximizing property value, and he is committed to providing topnotch service to Realtors. “Realtors are an incredibly important aspect of the life-changing decision of buying or selling a home. They care about their clients, they’re constantly working and intense in their needs, and they expect great service. It is my mission to deliver it to them.” Stuart thinks personal relationships with customers and a commitment to their success set Realtracs apart. Originally from Cadiz, Ky., Stuart graduated from Texas A&M University (Gig ’em, Aggies!). Both in the office and outside of it, Stuart’s focus is on giving back to the community. “If we’re not helping our neighbors, what’s the point?”

Mark T. Hill

Chief Operating Officer

Mark Hill serves as the chief operating officer for Realtracs. His role includes all business operations, development and compliance, as well as data licensing and strategic planning. Mark’s interest in technology and real estate, as well as the team and company culture, is what he loves about coming to work every day. “There is not a team of individuals anywhere in the MLS industry who are this good. Remember, it’s not bragging if it’s true.” His favorite piece of advice is from a saying often attributed to Thomas Edison: “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Outside of work, you can find him officiating high school football. Machu Picchu is top on his list of places to travel. “C’mon, how often can you walk in a 13th-century Incan village in Peru?” Born and raised in the Nashville area, Mark graduated from Middle Tennessee State University and holds an MBA degree from Ole Miss (Hotty Toddy!). He has also earned the CMLX2 designation.

His can-do attitude permeates beyond his role at Realtracs. If he could travel anywhere? The moon. “Why would I limit myself to Earth?” Outside of Realtracs, you can find Doug going for a run, working on home improvement projects or riding roller coasters. Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., the Georgia Tech graduate has called Middle Tennessee home since 2012.

Julie Davis

Chief Relationship Officer

As Realtracs’ chief relationship officer, Julie Davis oversees the team of Customer Happiness Representatives and works on special projects, associations, sponsorships, training and communications. Julie believes the customer service, “from our extraordinary Customer Happiness Representatives out in the field to our highly knowledgeable Support Team,” is what sets the company apart. A tip she gives homebuyers is to know the difference between their wants and needs. “Compromise is sometimes the home-buying tool that shortens the amount of time between beginning the home search and turning your new house into your new home.” Julie grew up in Elba, Ala., and graduated from the University of Alabama (Roll, Tide!); but she has called Tennessee home for 21 years now. When she is not in the office, you can find her staying active, reading, writing, podcast-binging, attending Cross Point’s Franklin Campus and spending time with the women at Healing Housing. She has also earned the CMLX2 designation.

Derek Johnson

Chief Financial Officer

As Realtracs’ chief financial officer, Derek Johnson provides the company with financial leadership and direction.

Whenever he’s in Knoxville, you can probably find him enjoying a cheeseburger from Litton’s Restaurant or visiting his alma mater, the University of Tennessee.

She says her favorite part of her job is “when I’m teaching and I see an agent have their ‘aha’ moment.” That passion for teaching comes through every day in her interactions with agents, and she views herself as a core member of the agent’s team to help best serve their clients. Her favorite piece of advice for homebuyers and sellers is “Information is power in negotiations,” which shapes her day-to-day communication with her agents. When she is not keeping Realtracs users informed and prepared, Kymberly can be found hiking, fishing, taking photos of nature, or keeping up with friends from her alma maters, Middle Tennessee State University and Kennesaw State.

A graduate of the University of Iowa and University of St. Francis and now one of our Senior Customer Happiness Representatives, Gigi is our users’ go-to friendly face for a fun, productive experience. Her favorite part of working at Realtracs is the culture: she loves that we are all ‘relationship’ people, focused on providing useful and personal training for clients. When she’s not building relationships with her user network, you can find her painting, exploring the great outdoors or daydreaming about her dream dinner guest, Elon Musk. She’s an avid pasta enthusiast and always tries to live by the best piece of advice she’s ever received: “Immerse yourself in the thought of your goals and you will achieve them.”

Sam Elliott

Customer Success Coach

Sam Elliott (not the actor... spelled different!) says Realtracs is unique because of the outgoing and generous people who work hard every day to serve our clients. And we feel the same way about Sam! As a Customer Success Coach, Sam works to provide top-notch support and enjoys getting to network and connect with Realtracs users. When he’s not at his day job, he spends his time painting, cooking, going to the movie theater at least twice a week and leaning into his title as a “plant dad.” If he could travel anywhere in the world, Sam would travel to Spain, where he would go hiking in the Pyrenees, swim in the Cantabrian Sea and eat tapas in Seville.

Although Sheka was born and raised in Nashville, she graduated from Bryan College and has lived in both California and Chattanooga.
Sheka’s best advice when it comes to buying or selling a house is to hire a Realtor with full MLS access. This helps you see everything available to you, and it grants you access to resources to locate properties that are not listed but are in your desired area. In her free time, you can find Sheka indulging in self-care or enjoying a delicious salad.

Casey Phillips

Customer Support Manager

Casey Phillips’ job title with Realtracs is customer support manager, and that title fits perfectly. Casey supports the entire operation, or as he puts it, “Throughout the day, you can find me helping people navigate and operate the various features of Realtracs, testing new features, responding to questions, and helping in-house with desktop support.” Casey thrives on creativity, and utilizes his problem-solving skills to tackle problems. He comes into work with a can-do attitude, which Casey attributes to the culture of Realtracs: “I don’t think I’ve ever worked at a business where the culture was so healthy that it made it a joy to come to work and want to problem-solve.” He is a Renaissance man through and through, and when he isn’t problem-solving for the Realtracs team, he can be found painting, drawing, doing photography or drama, writing, acting, and practicing martial arts. This Southern Nazarene University grad says Scotland is at the top of his list of places to travel. You might catch him sightseeing with a fruit smoothie in hand.

As she is an avid hockey fan, you can find Abby spending time as a freelance sports journalist for Penalty Box Radio. And her dream dinner guest? Gordon Ramsay (if he makes the meal, of course)! It’s guaranteed good food and good conversation.

Her favorite piece of advice she’s received is tongue-in-cheek: “My grandma used to tell all newly married women to never do something once that you don’t want to do the rest of your life.

Nikki lives by some direct and inspirational advice: “Never stop learning and investing in yourself,” and we couldn’t agree more!
