Knoxville, TN – Teresa K. Guy with Wallace Real Estate has been awarded the National Association of REALTORS®’ [NAR’s] Green Designation, the only green real estate professional designation recognized by NAR. Guy achieved this prestigious designation after completing topic-specific course work designed specifically for REALTORS®.
