Larry B. Sanders brings more than 30 years of experience in real estate, construction, and land development.

After relocating to Tennessee in 1996, Larry became deeply involved in East Tennessee’s homebuilding industry, including the log home market, working closely with builders, developers, and construction professionals. He later founded LARSAN CONSULTANTS, which evolved into The LBBA Group, a trusted resource for land research, site analysis, custom home marketing, and real estate consulting.

Larry went on to develop targeted marketing systems and strategic partnerships that contributed to the creation of two Knoxville-area brokerages: Choice Homes Realty and Mountain Ridge Realty. He also served as a real estate instructor with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Today, he specializes in land, residential development, and lake, golf, and mountain properties across East Tennessee.
