Caroline's EXCLUSIVES
SOLD By Caroline
YOU DESERVE THE BEST
A house is more than a “roof over your head.”
It’s comfort. It's peace. It's achievement. It's character.
It’s you and your loved ones on display. Dreams, commitments, and values are visible. It holds cherished memories, conquered challenges, unforgettable celebrations, and new beginnings.
Your house is where life happens, and that is what makes a house, a home.
Sometimes, life tells you it’s ready for more than your house can handle.
Suspension between the past and the future can be a tedious place to be, and the decision to carry life into a new space shouldn’t be taken lightly.
We’re here to make sure your life‒ all chapters of it‒ is taken care of.

Awards and Credentials

In 2023, she was invited to and attended the Luxury Portfolio International Global Symposium in Dubai, connecting with top agents from around the world.
Why “The Agents Who Care”?
“My husband actually came up with the tagline, but it stuck because I genuinely do care. Buying or selling a home is about so much more than a transaction. Sometimes caring means spending an entire day touring homes. Sometimes it means reading the fine print, researching a builder, or finding a way to save you that extra $500. I want to be a resource you can count on for years to come.”
Why Knoxville?
“I was born and raised in Oak Ridge, spent eight years in Chattanooga, and have called Knoxville home since 1993. I’ve stayed for the same reasons people move here: the mountains, the lakes, all four seasons, and the people. It’s such a beautiful place to do life in.”
Outside of Real Estate
“When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me biking the Greenways or on the pickleball court. For dinner, I love Connors, Seasons, and Oliver Royale. For something sweet, it’s Bradley Chocolates or Moonshine Cookies.”

MEET THE AGENTS WHO CARE
We’ll let our clients speak for themselves. See what others have to say about choosing us!
“Without any hesitation, I would recommend Caroline Badgett - with the absolute highest recommendation that I can give. She's friendly and kind. Seriously, she does care! In addition, her knowledge of the field is excellent! One sign of professionalism is courteous, prompt, informative responses... and she always did that! (even when we bombarded her with questions). We would give her better than a 10/10 if it were possible!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my Realtor, Heather. This is the first time I bought a house on my own after a divorce, and I had a lot of questions. She was so knowledgeable but never condescending‒ she is incredibly kind. She worked hard finding a house in my budget while also meeting all of my needs. I would refer anyone and everyone to Heather. I cannot thank her enough.”

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE BEST
- Hands-on help. Whether this is your first home or fourth one, there are always things that need an extra eye. We make it a point to keep in consistent communication throughout the entire process so that there aren’t any surprises.
- Transparency. Maybe that house you’re absolutely in love with isn’t your best option. We’re here to make sure you don’t lose your money or waste your time. Our professional opinions are here to keep you from making mistakes. Your best interest is our top priority.
- Reliable communication. We’re here for you!! We’re constantly working with the people around us to make sure you’re getting the best you deserve, and we’ll make sure you know what’s happening.
- Global Marketing. That’s right. Global. A perk of working within a Global Luxury group is that your home is being marketed to more than just those that drive by the sign in your front yard. We strategically target your highest potential buyers. We’re a part of the largest network of agents across the world, so no need to worry, your house is getting guaranteed attention. Even if you’re not in the area, we can connect you with someone who can and will take care of you. We’re local experts with a global outreach.
- We’re more than just your REALTORS®. We’re in it for more than a quick sale… we’re in it for the long haul. We’re here to answer any and all questions. We’re here for all of it. We’re here to compare, negotiate, advise, comfort, and celebrate with you. We’re present at your closing, making sure that even in the last moments of selling your house, everything is in order. You can ask us anything, and we’ll provide what you need. It’s not a one-and-done deal for us. You may not ever sell a house again, but we still want to be who you call. We’re your housing go-to’s for life.
- Resources. There’s much more that goes into a house than just buying and selling. We’ve created a network of reliable sources for you to lean on during the process of buying and selling your house. Need a handyman? We’ll connect you. Need a roofer? We’ve got you covered. Landscaper? Painter? Cleaner? Wanting to explore the area? If you’re looking for a petsitter, housesitter, we have those, too. Don’t hesitate to call us, we have professionals waiting to help you with whatever you need.
Our care doesn’t stop after closing. Your home deserves to be held with the same level of care, even twenty years down the road.
THE LUXURY EXPERIENCE
This team isn’t a “Global Luxury” team for no reason. The Agents Who Care are luxury real estate agents who have worked hard to make sure their clients get the best of the best. Professional knowledge, limitless resources, easy communication, concierge service, and authentic care are just a few of the perks. Care goes beyond your basic to-do’s. The Agents are able to care because they have the discipline, resources, and the credentials. Not only will you work with people who want what’s best for you, but you’ll work with people who can give you what’s best for you.
