PAM HURD

Pam is a lifelong resident of Johnson City, Tennessee. I was born in the old Johnson City Memorial Hospital and never left. I graduated from Daniel Boone High School then D&D Real Estate School in 2008. Before becoming a Realtor, Pam was a trainer at a local company in Gray, Tennessee for over ten years. So, training is a passion that she’s always had and is excited to continue that part in the real estate industry.

Pam met her husband, Ben Hurd at ETSU back in 1989, married in 1991 and had our daughter, Brandi Hurd in 1993. We now own our own Realty office in Johnson City, Tennessee that has grown to over 40+ agents in the 3 years that we have been open. God has blessed our company and our family in so many ways. We are thankful for opportunities that has been given to us. Most of our time is spent in the Realty world but we are also very involved with our church. Ben is the Pastor at Harvest Time Baptist Church so if we are not doing real estate we are at the church or spending time with family including our new grandson, Skyler Cash who is almost nine months old.
