MEET CAYLA
A Hattiesburg, Mississippi native, Cayla's love for real estate started at the age of eleven after helping her mother find a new home. On her own, she was able to find an underpriced home in a great neighborhood. Witnessing first hand the impact that real estate can have in one's life, Cayla decided she wanted to be a realtor when she grew up.
In college, Cayla studied sociology and business. However, the dreams of becoming a real estate agent stayed at the top of her mind. After multiple trips to visit friends in Nashville, Cayla couldn't help but fall in love. In 2013 she made her move to join one of the fastest growing cities in America and began her career in real estate. Starting out, Cayla worked as a property manager for 2 1/2 years at Freeman Webb. Seeking a larger opportunity, Cayla joined the Living TN team in 2015 as an inside sales agent. Shortly after being on the team, she followed her dreams and became a licensed realtor.
As a member of the Tennessee relocation council, she is able to continually connect families with their homes and gain the sense of accomplishment that she experienced when she found her mother's home. Cayla is also on the board of NeedLink Nashville where she helps raise money and help our neighbors in Davidson County when they are in a crisis situation and need their utilities turned back on. (for more information about NeedLink go to NeedLink.org).
“We used Cayla to buy our first home, but that statement barely scratches the surface of what all she did for us. She asked us in-depth questions to determine what was the most important to us in our home buying journey, and her thoroughness found us our dream home. She reached out to other realtors on our behalf, constantly seeking the type of home we wanted, advocating for us every step of the way. Surely, she found our dream home in our dream neighborhood and we secured it the day it hit the market. Once we were under contract, she connected us to every single professional we needed during the inspection period, enabling us to make the most informed decisions about our negotiation process.
Once we closed on the property, she continued to check in and support us by connecting us with vendors to make this house OUR home. Her communication was consistent and professional -- something that is incredibly hard to find these days. I am more than happy to share my experiences with anyone else who is curious about what it is like to work with Cayla Cook -- we will not use anyone else (although, let's be honest, we plan to be in our dream home for a LONG time). We could not have done any of this without her insight, expertise, and experience in this market.”

“It was a great experience working with Cayla. She was always available (literally) for all your questions, doubts or house viewing. She is well aware of the market, understands your need and comes out with great suggestions. She also have good knowledge of house, its construction, material, quality, etc... There were stages when we were exhausted with home searching but she kept our moral high and made us going with many great available options. Once again, it was a great experience working with Cayla and we could buy our 1st home with her help only.”

“Cayla was an excellent agent when it came to selling our Green Hills townhome. From the moment we decided to sell, she was honest about staging for showings, helping us present the unit in its best light to attract the most buyers. She also kept us informed of the recommended listing price and adjusted this until the moment it was listed based on the surrounding area and market demand, making sure we were not over- or under-priced. There were additional units that had recently sold in our complex, and she reached out to buyers who "missed out" on those and informed them about our upcoming listing. She also held an open house and promoted the unit numerous times across her social media pages -- all of these action items got our unit under contract within a week of listing. She kept us well informed during the inspection period, and when issues with our unit arose, she had her service professionals out to resolve the problems that week. She answered every question we had and made sure we were comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.
We are so grateful that we found Cayla in this Nashville market, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in the future.”
