I
was born Jeff K. Hughes in the river bottoms of Western Kentucky in
the year 1959 to proud parents Carlos and Marie Hughes. Being the
only son I was privileged to experience first hand the meaning of
customer service from the front seat of my father's Chevrolet Caprice
Classic. We would spend countless hours traveling Land between the
Lakes and neighboring counties visiting the coalmines and rock quarries
whose insurance he carried handling claims and providing emotional
support in hard times. It was during those days I learned the true
meaning of service. People and NOT the almighty dollar are what matter;
no matter how much you make or how hard you try to reach a goal financially
it means nothing if you lose respect of others and your own integrity.
I have tried to carry that lesson with me throughout my career and
now in building my own business.
After high school
I attended the University of North Carolina in Charlotte and later
returned home to the family insurance business. While the years working
for my father were educational and rewarding I couldn’t shake
the overwhelming desire to make my own path in the world and so in
1983 joined the team at John Hancock Financial Services. In my 3rd
year with the company I was in the top 10 representatives in the US
handling insurance, securities, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and the
savings and investment programs for employees of large companies.
It was there I found a voice that was all my own.
But the
long hours on the road became increasingly harder to bear and so when
Fairfield Communities came calling in 1986, I ventured to Georgia
to head up their financial department. That union led me to Crossville,
Tennessee where I found my nitch in real estate. The 15 years spent
with Fairfield Communities promoted me to Director of Sales over Fairfield
Glade where I plated, priced and developed property while overseeing
the sales and construction of numerous homes per year. It was also
there I met my lovely wife Tracey and we began a life together, which
has produced two beautiful children and a family of friends in the
Glade unparalleled by any other.
In 2002, we opened
Hughes Real Estate Services, a family oriented business dedicated
to providing a fresh and unique approach in servicing the real estate
needs of our clients while maintaining the integrity and ethical standards
we hold dear. This has been the most challenging and rewarding experience
of my career.
