Time and again, we have proven the benefit of using an experienced, licensed real estate professional by earning multiple offers and over list price.  Service, expertise, and a large network are crucial and we combine this with the power of our specialized marketing formula - ultimately yielding a larger return on the home investment.  It also can’t be discounted the necessity of having professional guidance for a many times complicated process." - Lisa Culp Taylor, Tennessee.

"Exposure to the market is key. Any owners selling on their own think that they are saving the commission. Guess what, so does the buyer. Any buyer will deduct the commission. And without the competition brought by exposure to the market, the sellers usually leave tons of money on the table without knowing." - Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, BC.

"A great real estate agent can handle it ALL for you. Staging, showings, negotiations, inspection items -- the list goes on and on.  Most people are surprised to find that the commission amount is negligible compared to the purchase amount when an excellent agent is involved. In my particular market in Southwest Florida, many owners are not living in the area on a full-time basis. In that case, it is especially critical to hire an excellent agent! Check reviews and number of past sales carefully before hiring an agent!" -Angela Lutzi Dellatorè, Bonita Springs, Barefoot Beach, Bonita Beach, FL.

“Homeowners benefit greatly from hiring an experienced realtor when selling because they secure the agent’s expertise in negotiating, marketing, connections and will generally achieve a much higher selling price with shared liability for the transaction.” - KC Martin, Paris, France.

"In most instances, a primary or secondary residence represents one of the most significant assets for a family. Working with a real estate agent not only ensures that a seller obtains the best value for the property but that the entire process is handled efficiently and with little risk. Agents bring years of experience to valuation, negotiations, and marketing. Especially in the current seller’s market in the Sarasota area, the exposure we create often leads to multiple offer situations that, if handled properly, create increased value for sellers." - Joel Schemmel, Sarasota, FL.

"Our clientele demands Kukio Properties’ agents' knowledge of Kukio’s properties and the intricacies of the membership component to safeguard their investment. No other brokerage provides the insight that Kukio Properties brings to their clients." - Jim Schneider, Big Island, HI.

"An experienced agent will get them more money for their home and protect them during the process." - Anna Sherrill, South of Fith, Miami Beach, FL.

The market in the Middle Tennessee area is remarkably vibrant considering the state of our nation and world but Taylor says the quality of life the area offers is driving the luxury market today.

“When state recruiters promote Tennessee, no income tax is at the top of the list so you immediately get a pay increase if moving from an income tax state. Nashville also has a very diverse economy with multiple private and public universities and health care companies as well as several corporate headquarters including Nissan North America,” she explained. “At the heart of all of this is our incredible music scene which includes Country, Rock and Americana for starters. Add to this equation our eclectic restaurant scene and the strong variety of professional sports teams and you’ll find a quality of life that is really pretty special.”

Personally, Taylor says the change of seasons is one of her favorite reasons. “You get to experience four definite seasons in Nashville and each have their own unique beauty. I live in Franklin, just outside of Nashville, and the holidays in this city are so charming, just like a postcard.”

Many of the homes which Taylor has recently sold are wrapped by the rolling hills of Tennessee and pretty indigenous trees like oak, maple, dogwood and the Tulip Poplar, the state’s official tree. “You can definitely find privacy and peaceful living in Tennessee.”
