Alyssa Bunch: The Name Behind the Biggest Deals

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 10, 2026 — Vanderbilt-educated attorney, real estate professional, and deal strategist Alyssa Bunch has built a career around the places where law, business, property, and opportunity intersect.

In Tennessee, the biggest real estate and business deals rarely begin with a public listing. They begin months and sometimes years earlier with a property that was not for sale, a family considering its next chapter, a business owner weighing an exit, or an investor recognizing an opportunity before anyone else sees it.

Powerhouse driven deals have historically touched nearly every corner of the real estate economy: hospitality, entertainment, multifamily development, commercial property, and business acquisitions continue to excel both by individuals and private equity firms at an unprecedented pace. Attorney Alyssa Bunch is a Partner with Champagne Law Firm, an investor and realtor herself who knows this landscape and speaks the language of all things big business in Middle and East Tennessee from her offices in Nashville, Sevierville and Rogersville. Bunch "represents clients who are buyers and sellers of multifaceted business interests encompassing; hotels, theaters, attractions, campgrounds, entertainment venues, family businesses, as well as multifamily and commercial real estate portfolios."

High Stakes Meets High Demand on the Edge of the Great Smoky Mountains

In Sevier County, and directly in the communities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville where tourism rules the land, real estate, and privately held businesses are deeply interconnected.

Tourism and hospitality related transactions often rise above the rest: the opportunity to acquire a key commercial parcel or successfully navigate a high-stakes purchase, or a sale involving a business and the real estate beneath it, is an everyday race for investors. These communities are sitting on the edge of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and have more than 15 million annual visitors spending money throughout the region. Here, a location isn't simply an address, the location can be the difference between an ordinary transaction and an irreplaceable opportunity. A local to the area, this is precisely the environment in which Bunch has developed a reputation for bringing order and a unique insight to complicated deals.

Knowledge, Instinct, and Experience

An alumna of Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt Law School, Alyssa Bunch holds the distinction as a Vanderbilt Ingram Scholar, one of the university's top distinguished scholarship programs emphasizing leadership, service, and community engagement. Her professional background has extended through government, the courts, private legal practice, real estate, and business operations.

Prior to emerging as a key figure in sophisticated transactions, Bunch gained experience with the Tennessee Secretary of State, the Williamson County District Attorney's Office, Baker Donelson in Nashville, and the Fourth Judicial District Circuit Court, serving Sevier, Cocke, Jefferson, and Grainger counties.

Her work with the Secretary of State placed her directly in Tennessee's legislative process, where she presented policy initiatives and proposed legislation to members of both the House and Senate.

Those experiences developed something difficult to teach in a classroom: an understanding of how complicated systems actually move. As a licensed Tennessee real estate professional, Bunch is known for approaching each transaction from multiple perspectives encompassing legal, commercial, operational, and strategic initiatives.

Where Property, Prosperity, and Legacy Converge

In Sevier County's thriving tourism economy, commercial real estate often represents far more than the property itself.

For Bunch, understanding the broader implications is essential. In a market like this, you're representing the people behind the property, Bunch explains.

"Real opportunity lives where law, business, property, and opportunity intersect. Making the right calls and getting the table set with the most promising prospects is what I do best. Decisions made can reshape a family's wealth for generations. That demands more than getting a deal closed, as it requires a deep understanding of what the family owns, what they are giving up, and what the decision means long after the closing documents are signed."

Bunch's role has increasingly centered on catering to the transaction as a whole, while maintaining command of the individual pieces. It is part legal analysis, part negotiation, part project management and often part diplomacy. Because the largest transactions are rarely completed by one individual. They require a room full of people with different interests. Someone has to keep them moving in the same direction.
