Brand Shepherd Launches New Brand and Website for Appalachian Title Agency, Redefining Trust in Tennessee Real Estate

KNOXVILLE, TN – Brand Shepherd is proud to announce the successful launch of a new brand website for Appalachian Title Agency (ATA), a growing real estate title firm based in Maryville, Tennessee.

ATA engaged Brand Shepherd to lead a comprehensive brand refresh, including a new messaging strategy and website.

The goal? To establish ATA as the go-to title agency for East Tennessee’s real estate professionals, buyers, and sellers — with a brand that reflects its deep local roots and trusted expertise.

“ATA’s team already had the substance — professionalism, kindness, and consistency. Our job was to give them a brand presence that matched the trust they’ve already earned,” said Dan Crask, Founder and Brand Strategist at Brand Shepherd.

What Was Delivered

  • Custom Website: The new site simplifies the closing process for customers, showcasing ATA’s services, team, and trustworthiness in a modern, mobile-friendly format.

  • SEO Foundation: Structured for local search visibility to attract agents, buyers, and sellers looking for title services in Blount County and beyond.

  • Human-Centered Messaging: Real estate can be stressful — the new brand voice leans into calm, clear, and confident messaging that reflects how ATA operates in person.
