Default Google Indexing

The number one result for "knoxville tennessee real estate" is www knoxvillemls.com. BTW, that search is most frequent one for East Tennessee (about 400,000 searches a month). The question I have is how does Google index his site when every page is in some type of frame and his main index URL never changes as you go from one page to another. Does his main URL get all the authority from all his other pages and anything/anybody that links back to it??

As you mentioned his site is a frame that is: page 1 (his frame/site) and page 2 (foreign page/document inside page 1). Google doesn’t index page 2 but index page 1. If you take a look on the source code on his page 1, you’ll find hundreds of hidden text and broken links, thus creating a very high keyword density site. I don’t know if he is aware of it, but his site contains black hat SEO and is against Google guidelines.
About the links, yes his site (main url) will get the authority and link juice from other pages that links back to it.

What is in his site that would be construed as black hat SEO or against Google guidelines?

Jay, If you are using Internet Explorer then you can't see his source code but the source code from page 2 which is a regular page. Mozilla Firefox will show the page 1 source code which is the one indexed. You can use this link to access the cached page of his site: www.google.com/search?q=cache:http://www.knoxvillemls.com/&hl=en&strip=1
You will probably see a lot of repetitive keyword and broken links.
These words and links are not visible on his site. This is called hidden text spam and cloaking that is providing an html text to search engine but showing in a different way to users.

Google certainly "understands" frames, but I don't think that is what you meant to ask. By default Google will only spider the main frame of a page, and any links and content contained in that frame (Typically there is very little), the other framesets will not be spidered - there is of course a way to properly optimize framed websites by using sitemapping and the noframes tag, but I am not going to get into teaching it here because I can't stand framesets, and I don't want to see people using them lol

Google will catch when people start to report these sites to Google. I no longer believe Google is able to find this type of spam automatically since I've see many sites doing this kind of spam from the last 5 years and they have never been caught.
Just my opinion

Sometimes older technology is more visible to search engines and that is an older frameset site. I mean, when is the last time you saw a site with an IRED spotlight award on it? 1999? 2000?

Though I'm stretching my memory, I would say that is probably a second generation Advanced Access website that the site-owner moved to another host at some time. If I had my computer from "way back" when, I could verify it, but it seems to have the same page name structure and everything (at least as I remember it).

Assuming I am correct, the guy that built those sites when he worked at AA was a most excellent SEO guy and now runs his own independent consulting company. If I wasn't so mind-boggled, I would look up his name and the name of his company -- but it isn't really important to the post, so I'll do it another time.
