Michael and Courtney Chenkus are everything we are looking for in a real estate agent when buying a new home. Their videos of Lakewood Ranch and Windward in general and our chosen Savannah II home model in particular were key in helping us make the decision of community and home design. Before we even moved here, Courtney was really great at listening to and understanding our list of new home features, amenities and location and expertly narrowed down to only a few neighborhoods to evaluate in person. After we arrived, driving around with Courtney looking at several neighborhoods and designs was very efficient and exactly what we needed to confirm our choice. During the year-long build process, Michael frequently went by our house and showed video and gave comments about items to bring to our builder's attention, which we believe contributed to a superior quality home. Additionally, they took the time to review loan offers and closing documentation to help us not miss any important details. As a result, everything went as well as it possibly could. Finally, Courtney took the time to join us during the walk-through and that was above and beyond customer service. We weren't certain about what we didn't know to look for, and she was a welcome voice of reason and assurance. We could not imagine better real estate agents and will without reservation use them for all real estate needs going forward. We ended up with the home of our dreams, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Michael and Courtney Chenkus for guiding us through that process from imagining to close. We recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell in the Lakewood Ranch area.

Five Star Agent! *****

Phyllis is the best real estate agent my wife and I have ever had! She is very competent in all aspects of the real estate business. We are very impressed with her professionalism and honest clarity in how we were represented in our recent purchase. We highly recommend Phyllis Frantzis!

Julie was fantastic. She worked nonstop. Could not have had a better agent.

Julie worked hard getting us the best buy at the best price. She took us thru a difficult time with the HOA's approval. My wife and I WERE VERY IMPRESSED with her knowledge of the market in the St Petersburg area. She got us in touch with other trades that we needed after the sale. She went above and beyond to make sure everything fell in order in the short time frame we gave her. I would suggest that every one looking to buy a house in this area contact Julie Sartain.

Made selling condo easy!

Kris was amazing to work with when we sold our condo. He made the whole process feel easy and low-stress, which we really appreciated. He knows the market well, gave great advice on pricing and staging, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Super responsive, professional, and easy to talk to. We felt like we were in good hands the whole time and he had our interest in mind the whole time through the process. Highly recommend Kris if you’re looking to sell or buy - he’s great at what he does!

From the moment we met Amber at the open house she was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She was great in providing us all the documents needed for the sale. Very familiar with the builiding and its operations to include inspections as well as financial reports. Very knd demeanor and answered all our questions in a timely manner. Great experience.

Our experience working with Courtney and Michael Chenkus was outstanding! We were living in VA and researched MANY realtors before selecting them to help us find a home in Lakewood Ranch. They are both SUPER knowledgeable about the area, they really listen to your wants/needs and are just overall great people. There was no pressure at all - they were so patient with us as we changed our minds about wanting resale or new construction. We chose new construction. Courtney and/or Michael sent us video walk-throughs every couple of weeks! They truly are a team. It was so beneficial to have the videos and emails during the build - it was like we were there. Such a relief. They answered any questions and would point out things that we may not have thought of. During closing, they made sure we got ALL the possible discounts/incentives. Do not hesitate to contact the Chenkus team!

Outstanding!

Julie was awesome to work with. My husband and I are moving to Florida to be closer to the kids and they mentioned Julie to us. She was fantastic from the minute we talked to her till the end after we found a fantastic home and purchased it. There was no pressure at all and Julie took her weekend to show us homes since we flew in from Virginia Beach. She demonstrated excellent attention to detail, had excellent communication skills and walked us through every step of the process. She has a great personality and always looks out for you. My husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Thank you Julie for finding us a beautiful home and for making the process easy.
