Correy knows what she is doing and does her research. She will get the highest dollar for your home. The pictures in the listing were amazing. Her attention to detail was great she thought of things I would have known to do. Correy is by your side through the entire selling process. I would strongly recommend Correy as a sellers agent and buyers agent.

We cannot recommend Rick highly enough! He was an absolute professional and a true partner in selling our waterfront condo, especially during the challenging period after the hurricane. We initially listed our condo before the storm, and when it hit, Rick guided us through a complex and uncertain market with patience, honesty, and a steady hand. At every step, he gave advice that was genuinely in our best interest, not just to make a quick commission. He would pull detailed market comparisons and help us understand all our options, so we could make confident decisions without ever feeling pressured. Rick’s knowledge of the local market is excellent. He positioned our property post-storm to attract serious buyers, handled complex negotiations, and efficiently navigated all HOA requirements. He mentioned staying current on industry developments, including trainings and market updates, arranged great professional photography and a 3D tour, and set up weekly automated emails with market analysis. He took the time to review our contract line by line, not just assuming it was all boiler plate. I was really impressed with the title company he uses. Throughout the process, Rick was always available, responsive by text and phone, and always made sure to be present for showings. He followed up with every potential buyer, and that follow-up is what turned into our eventual sale. He is reliable, honest, patient, and calm (even in stressful situations). Even after the sale, he reached out to make sure we were doing well. We wouldn’t work with any other agent in the area. Rick went above and beyond at every stage. He had market expertise, data-driven guidance, and genuine care for our decisions. He turned what could have been a complete disaster into a smooth and successful experience overall, and we are deeply grateful for his guidance and hard work.

I thought you had my mailing address. But, I guess not, b/ c my post office hates getting my mail with the street address on it. A bit sad for me. I'm going to send my mail elsewhere.

Marilu was super helpful with keeping us on task and staying ahead of the deadlines. She guided us to great contractors, proactively called the city regarding open permits, and was very knowledgeable of the process of scraping and building a house. I’d very much ask her to help us again whether in S. Tampa or at the beach. Outstanding in every way!!!!

We engaged Rick to quickly market our home for sale after we placed a contract on another home to purchase. He skillfully led us through evaluating suitable comps and reaching buyers. He quickly found us the right buyer, and we were able to close early on our new home.

We have bought and sold many properties over time and I have never (ever) met someone as adept and adroit at every conceivable aspect of the process, from initial planning and guiding us through what needs to be done to prepare the property for sale, through evidence-based pricing, the marketing, positioning, handling showings and interest, and then negotiating all steps through to a successful close where all parties exit the transaction feeling positively. I hope to never buy or sell another house in Florida, but if I do I know who I am calling!

We had an outstanding experience working with Stephen. From the very beginning, his responsiveness set him apart. Any time we sent a text or email, he responded almost immediately and always with useful, thoughtful information that helped move things forward. That level of communication gave us confidence that nothing was slipping through the cracks. Stephen is also extremely detail-oriented. He anticipated potential issues before they became problems, and whenever we had questions, he provided thorough, well-researched answers. During home tours, he was meticulous in pointing out details we might have overlooked — things that could affect our decision but weren’t always obvious at first glance. His ability to notice and explain those details showed how much he truly cared about helping us make an informed choice. We also appreciated Stephen’s professionalism. He struck the perfect balance during showings: giving us space to explore each home on our own while staying close by and fully engaged, ready to answer questions. And if he didn’t have an immediate answer, he made sure to track it down quickly. Thanks to his guidance, we found several homes we loved, and Stephen was instrumental in negotiating effectively on our behalf. His advice and advocacy made a real difference in the process and the outcome. What really impressed us, though, were the personal touches. At closing, for example, we had a small question about how the entrance gate worked. Stephen didn’t just shrug it off — he actually stopped by the management office to get the information for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed the kind of above-and-beyond service he consistently delivered. In short, Stephen is responsive, thorough, professional, and genuinely invested in helping his clients. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Correy provided great guidance in the buying process. Asked many questions- advised about multiple things. Provided a great new construction home inspector. We had tight timeframes and Correy helped facilitate the process greatly. A true professional! Thank you

We had had our condo on the market for some time with another agent with very few showings. Within a month of listing, with Stephen, he had more showings than we did in the year prior. Although the market was bad, he helped us get the unit seen. In the end, we decided to rent it and Stephen was great at getting it rented for us. He vetted potential renters and found a wonderful couple to rent our unit. Bye, sell, or rent, he is the best.

After 27 years with the NYPD, I had plans to retire to my home in Bay Crest Park, Tampa, a place I rented to a wonderful family for seven years. Then Hurricane Helene hit. My tenants lost everything. The house suffered major flood damage, and I was left with painful uncertainty: repair or sell? Out of the blue came a letter from Stephen Brown of Keller Williams South Tampa. It wasn’t just marketing, it was meaningful. His message addressed every doubt I had and sparked a gut feeling that told me, “Call this guy.” And I’m glad I did. Stephen jumped into action from day one. He visited the property, handled minor repairs, and walked me through every possible option with patience and expertise. I decided to sell the home as-is, and Stephen took the reins completely. He kept me informed, constantly sharing detailed spreadsheets, charts, and offer breakdowns that showed exactly what I’d walk away with. Stephen’s professionalism, deep market knowledge, and genuine care gave me complete confidence in a situation that could’ve easily been overwhelming. He found a buyer, negotiated a deal I was thrilled with, and made the process seamless. If you're facing a tough decision, especially involving storm damage, Stephen Brown is the person you want in your corner. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Rick Woods was the sellers agent when we bought the house twelve years ago. We remembered his professionalism and the work that he had put in when we decided to sell. We engaged Rick to sell our house with a tight time consideration. The job he did for us was superb. Rick priced the house well for the market which generated a lot of interest. He scheduled the open house on the Memorial Day weekend and it was very well attended. It resulted to two full price offers and ended up selling over asking. It closed quickly, right in line with our timeframe. We were thrilled. Rick kept us informed throughout the process, answered all our questions, and provided excellent advice and guidance. We totally recommend him.
