The state-of-the-art, 32,775 square foot facility now serves as the company's primary sales center, where hundreds of insurance agents assist people across the country compare rates on auto and home insurance, and obtain coverage from one of Answer's 20 insurance carrier partners.

Rob Slingerland, Answer President and CEO, thanked guests and those that contributed to the construction project and recognized Knoxville's importance to Answer. "This beautiful new building represents our continued belief in the Knoxville community as a valuable partner in the future growth of Answer Financial. This state-of-the art facility is also a reflection of our ongoing investment in one of our biggest assets, our local associates."  

Answer recently announced its goal to hire 50 Knoxville associates by year-end. Answer's new location at the Bridgewater Road exit off I-40/75 was chosen in part to attract and retain associates due to the location's proximity to residences, banks, restaurants and retail services.

"It's always good to see businesses grow and expand in our community," said Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett. "In addition to providing important jobs in Knox County, Answer Financial is also a strong community partner."

The modern facility, adjacent to the Ten Mile Creek Greenway pedestrian trail, is designed with panoramic views of the area. Noise suppression technology and an open floor plan interspersed with huddle rooms and robust natural lighting promote a collaborative team environment. The facility was designed by George Armour Ewart Architect and constructed by Providence Commercial Real Estate.
