Bottom line up front: If you value your time and money you need Kris Kennedy!…read more I'm a planner. When the Navy told my husband we were moving to the Tampa Bay Area, I immediately started to research local area real-estate agents. Kris Kennedy got many favorable reviews across my most trusted websites and here on Yelp he's a total rockstar. After our initial conversation I knew he was the agent for us. We just closed on our Tampa Bay Home Area home today and having finished the process, I'm delighted to report Kris Kennedy lives up to every accolade he's received. Kris is a really nice guy (but let's face it ALL real estate agents are charming) Kris sets himself above the other agents starting with his professional demeanor and promptness. He is smart and shrewd a brilliantly, tenacious negotiator and an excellent communicator. He has league of professionals in his network that seemingly bend over backwards for him and thusly bend over backwards for his clients. Certainly if I had a question or a concern Kris had an answer, knew someone that did or found out and reported back quickly. He gave us excellent advice, asked important questions, custom built searches to suit our needs, and secured digital paperless portals to complete paperwork. Kris not only saved us time (his efficiency is miraculous), he saved us money A. LOT. OF. MONEY! 1. We were convinced we wanted a V.A. loan but upon Kris's suggestion we looked into it and discovered in this particular instance, using a conventional saved us about 11K. 2. After running some comps, speaking to the seller, investigating the history of the home we wanted etc. Kris was able to negotiate a savings of 24K from list price. FYI my husband and I would've paid asking price and Kris knew it. He worked his magic and saved us a total of 35K. This process was seamless in no small part thanks to the tireless workings of Kris Kennedy and his network of professionals.

Greetings, I was…read morevery fortunate to be introduced to Jennifer through a close friend after mentioning that I was looking for a home in South West Florida. Jennifer not only found me a listing outside of her network, she also found a lender who locked in the best possible rate for a VA loan. The speed by which we closed the deal had to be a worlds record. Everything went like clockwork with only a few minor hiccups, none of which was on her end. She is very bright, extremely motivated and professional and detailed and I highly recommend using her services for any real estate transaction or ABNB. Note: This is not your normal real estate agent. She picks up her phone 24/7 and acts on your behalf in the best possible way. We closed the deal on my home in Venice, Florida last May. The house was a dream come true, a Key West Style home situated on the Myakka River close to the Gulf of Mexico with a boat davit an electronic hoist and we negotiated the boat as part of the sale. I couldn't have done this without her. Thank you Jennifer...Love Curt

A mutual friend recommended Debbie Wertz to us as the "go to person" for real estate purchasing in the Tampa and surrounding areas. Debbie and I talked throughout the Fall of 2024 about the surrounding Tampa areas, and she introduced us to our eventual realtor and representative Nicki Clark. Nicki was an instrumental catalyst in finding our perfect home and opened our eyes to areas that we were not considering. Nicki is a top performer, conscientious and caring, genuinely looked out for your best interests. One of the qualities that I most admire about her is how well she juggles her career, little children and life demands but always being responsive, doing it with a smile and always providing excellent data mining and analysis. We can't thank you enough Compass, Debbie and Nicki for all of your assistance finding our awesome new home. All of our best to you and your Families in 2025 and a great sales year! Ted and Teresita
