Maribel Koella, CCIM, SIOR, FRICS, CRE
Owner and Principal Broker
With over 30 years experience in commercial real estate, I derive distinct satisfaction from finding creative ways to negotiate solutions to seemingly impossible challenges and have assembled the resources needed to set my firm apart.
As a member of the prestigious Counselors of Real Estate (CRE), I also enjoy providing strategic counseling to clients. My advice is grounded in my broad range of proficiencies in commercial real estate, project conceptualization and development, as well as investment experience. My expertise allows me to envision and evaluate options, advocate on behalf of my client’s interests, and develop winning strategies aligned with their business aims.
Below is a sampling of some of my counseling activities:
As the Director and Principal of a woman-owned, minority-owned business, I am keenly aware of the importance of strengthening community. Our firm has represented a number of local non-profits and I remain active in many community organizations. NAI Knoxville has earned Women’s Business Enterprise (WBENC) certifications as a woman-owned business and a woman-owned small business, and is also a member of the TMSDC.

Roger was also affiliated with Sperry Van Ness (SVN), where his transactions consistently ranked him in the Top 20 of SVN Advisors and in the SVN Partner's Circle for achieving highest total volumes amongst 900+ Advisors. In 2017, Roger combined business with that of Maribel Koella of NAI Knoxville to form the largest commercial real estate group in East Tennessee, now known as NAI Koella | RM Moore. Roger takes a very active role in the everyday functioning of the company. Not only does he assist in managing the firm and its many employees, but he also specializes in providing commercial property, tenant acquisition, and property management services through offices in both Knoxville and Sevierville, Tennessee.
