FREE Family Weekend Vacation

Jodi Derosia, the youngest daughter of Phil and Darlene and younger sister of Phillip, is spearheading a senior project for DECA to raise money and awareness for SafeSpace.

 For those who are not familiar with SafeSpace, it is a non-profit organization that provides safety and support to survivors of domestic violence and their families.  The primary purpose of SafeSpace is to provide emergency shelter, crisis intervention, court advocacy, resource referrals, and counseling to victims of domestic violence.  SafeSpace believes in empowerment.  They are there to provide information share skills, and support victims of domestic violence who choose to be self-reliant and leave their abusive situation. 

 Domestic Violence Is More Common Than You May Think:

  • An act of domestic violence occurs every 12 seconds in the US.
  • Each year in the US, more than 4 million women are battered by their partners.
  • 97-99% of victims are women; 1-3% are men.
  • Battering is the single largest cause of injury to women - more than rapes, accidents, and muggings combined
  • Each year in the US approximately 4,000 women die as a result of domestic violence.
  • Over 50% of men who batter their partners also batter or sexually molest their children.
To help with this cause "The Derosia Team" is helping Jodi sell raffle tickets.

A $5.00 contribution will enter you into a raffle to possibly win a FAMILY WEEKEND VACATION! 100% of proceeds go to SafeSpace.

Sevier County Residential Statistics

As Real Estate Agents The Derosia Team likes statistics.  In particular, we like to compare the market from year to year.  We would like to share some comparisons for 2006-2011 to show you how the market has changed. We focused on each individual area of Sevier County and the Volume Sold per area.  Here are a couple visual aids to show the change in the Smoky Mountains. Volume of Sales for 2006-2011 This is the same information just a different representation of the data! Volume of Sales for 2006-2011 We also compared the total volume sold for Sevier County as a whole through 2006-2011.   So as the economy suggest the market has dropped since 2006 & 2007.  However on a positive note the market for 2008-2011 has been somewhat consistent in the Smoky Mountains with a slow rise in volume.
