Why Caitlin
Experience
Did you know 75% of Realtors don’t make it past year 1 in the business and 87% don’t make it past year 5? There is a reason I am now in my 10th year as a Florida Realtor. I also serve as a mentor to new agents and am proud that every one of my mentees so far have made it past the 1st year.
Photo Quality
You have one chance to make a first impression which is why photos are possibly the most important piece of the puzzle. They are used for every aspect of marketing your home. See comparison photos below from other agents compared to Caitlin.
Video
Real estate listings with a feature video receive 403% higher inquiries than those without. That is why I provide a lifestyle video with all of my listings.
Proactive Marketing
As one of the most followed Realtors in the Panhandle, I have an advantage of being able to get the most eyes on your property since online algorithims favor social engagement.
The extra mile
Not only do I provide HDR listing photographs, I also utilize a drone to capture your home’s best angles, and provide a 3D walk through tour for homes at every price point. See more below.
100% Recommendation rate
I am extremely proud to say that 100% of my past buyers and sellers have stated they would recommend me to a family member or friend. Of all statistics, this is the most important to me.
Importance of photos
- Professional quality photos are statistically proven to sell listings 50% faster.
- Professional quality images have been shown to generate up to 118% more online views.
- Including professional quality photos has been proven to drastically increase the sale price of a property.
- Home buyers spend 60% of their time viewing photos, while only 20% on the property description and 83% of buyers deem photos to be important listing information.
3D Virtual Tours
A recent study done by the National Association of Realtors shows the importance of providing 3D Virtual Tours for all of my clients, regardless of price point. Homes with a 3D Virtual Tour:
- Sell at a 4-9% higher sales price
- Decrease time on market by up to 31%
- 99% of sellers say a 3D tour would give their listing a competitive edge
- 90% of buyers would be more compelled by a listing with a 3D tour
- 55% of buyers responded they would purchase a home sight unseen if it had a 3D virtual tour
So why wouldn’t all agent provide 3D Virtual Tours? Expense. The equipment and technology needed to provide 3D tours can reach thousands of dollars. Many agents are newer and still building their business and simply unable to spend that type of money. I see it as an investment in my sellers in order to get them the most money possible out of their home, and sell in the shortest amount of time.
