Why The Starke Group Swept the 2026 Top 100 Influencer List

We have some exciting news to share! FeedSpot has officially released its 2026 rankings, and two of our very own have been named among the Top 100 Canadian Real Estate Instagram Influencers: our President, Brett Starke, and Senior Director of Sales, Caitlin Clemmens.

While we’re honoured by the recognition, this isn't just about a "Top 100" badge on our profiles. In today’s market, social media influence is the ultimate competitive advantage for our clients.

The Power of the "Influencer" Advantage:

Many people hear the word "influencer" and think of filtered photos and trendy audio. In real estate, being an influencer means attention. And in a crowded market like Toronto, attention is the most valuable currency a seller has.

When you list your home with a "Top 100" agent, you aren't just putting a sign on the lawn; you’re tapping into a massive, pre-built ecosystem of buyers, investors, and fellow brokers.

How This Wins for Our Clients:

Hyper-Visibility for Your Listing: When Brett or Caitlin posts a property, it doesn't just sit on the MLS. It’s blasted to a highly engaged audience of thousands. This "digital open house" happens before the first person even steps through your front door.

The Trust Factor:

Buyers are more likely to engage with a brand they recognize and trust. Our presence on this list proves that we are authorities in the Canadian market, making buyers more confident when they see a Starke Group listing.

A National Referral Network:

Being a top influencer means we are constantly networking with the best agents across the country. If a buyer is moving from Vancouver or Montreal to Toronto, they’re looking at the top influencers to find their next home. We ensure your property is what they see first.

At The Starke Group, our digital strategy has always been about one thing: Results. 

We don't just post for likes; we post to create a "bidding war" environment. By leveraging the combined reach of Brett and Caitlin, we provide a level of exposure that traditional brokerages simply cannot match.

Whether you’re a first-time seller or a seasoned investor, you deserve a team that knows how to capture the world’s attention.
