Eligibility and full childcare terms
Buyer eligibility requires an active buyer representation agreement with Frank James III or a Wallace agent approved by Frank. Listing a home alone does not establish buyer eligibility.
Seller eligibility requires an active signed listing agreement with Frank James III or a Wallace agent approved by Frank. Eligibility and unused hours end when the applicable agreement is completed or terminated.
The normal $15 registration fee applies, with a separate $10 credit to the family’s account. Normal registration requirements and childcare availability apply. Contact Frank to coordinate eligibility and Kids Cove to confirm registration and available care. If you are buying and selling, ask Frank how eligibility applies to your household.
Check current registration requirements, hours, rates, and availability with Kids Cove before your visit.

A familiar face in a new place
Hi, I’m Frank.
I know a move is
a family thing.
I’m a Knoxville-area REALTOR® with Wallace Real Estate, a Veteran, a husband, a dad, and a local business owner.
My wife and I built Kids Cove because we understand how much families juggle. That same perspective shapes the way I help people find a home.
Made4Knox brings those worlds together: real estate guidance, family resources, and local connections. Whether your move is months away or already underway, we can start with what matters to you.
For fellow Veterans: Receive 20% off my portion of the real estate commission.
Let’s make Knoxville feel like home.

A few things you might be wondering
New city.
Good questions.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
That’s a perfectly good place to start.
Do I need to be ready to buy a home?
Not at all. You can reach out while you’re researching Knoxville, comparing cities, or planning a move months from now. We can start with your questions and your timeline.
Can you help me compare Knoxville communities?
Yes. We can discuss your priorities, including budget, commute, housing preferences, and local resources, so you can make your own informed decision about where to live.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we talk?
No. You can begin learning about Knoxville before you’re pre-approved. When you’re ready to shop seriously, we can discuss next steps for understanding your budget and preparing for a home search.
How does Kids Cove fit into my move?
Eligible buyers receive 10 complimentary child-hours and eligible sellers receive 16 complimentary child-hours total per household at Kids Cove. An active qualifying buyer representation or signed listing agreement with Frank James III or a Wallace agent approved by Frank is required. Registration fees, requirements, availability, and agreement end dates apply. See the childcare eligibility terms on this page.
Can you help me research schools?
We can point you toward official district information and school boundary resources so you can conduct your own research. Confirm current enrollment and attendance boundaries directly with the appropriate district.
What if I’m renting or still deciding?
You’re welcome here. We can talk through your move and point you toward local resources. Real estate services and any specific rental assistance can be discussed with Frank based on your needs.
Who provides the real estate services?
Real estate services are provided by Frank James III, REALTOR® with Wallace Real Estate. Made4Knox brings that guidance together with local and family resources for people exploring Knoxville and East Tennessee.
