Courtney and Michael Chenkus exceeded our expectations in every way. Buying a home from out of state seemed daunting at first, but once Courtney and Michael began helping us it was seamless. Whether it was exploring villages in the area, choosing the best new home builder to suit our needs, or keeping us up to date on our homes progress by sending us biweekly videos, they were always readily available to answer any questions and address any concerns we might have. Courtney and Michael went above and beyond in every aspect of our home buying/building experience and we couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Lakewood Ranch, look no further than the Chenkus team.

We first found Courtney and Michael on YouTube while researching Lakewood Ranch. They have an awesome channel with tons of information about the area and all that each community has to offer. Working with Michael and Courtney was a really great experience. Coming from out of state and relocating to Lakewood Ranch with all the choices and options can be a bit overwhelming to say the least. Courtney really listened to what was important to our family in finding a new home, so that when we did see some communities and models, we were able to really narrow our focus which made the decision making progress much easier. We decided to build in Lorraine Lakes, which we had never done before. They sent us a video every two weeks for the entire build, which was so exciting for us to be able to see the progress while still living in Virginia. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to relocate because of their knowledge, responsiveness, and expertise of Lakewood Ranch real estate. Thank you!!

Courtney and Michael make an expert Real Estate team. They know the area well and will guide you in the right direction no matter where you are in the house buying process. I had many questions, concerns, and emotional ups and downs orchestrating a move while living in Chicago. Courtney always offered options, encouragement and opinions when I asked for them. She responded to all of my texts, emails, and calls quickly. She and Michael took SO many extra steps in assisting us in purchasing a home. We ultimately decided new home construction was the right decision for our situation and I am so grateful that we had Courtney and Michael “on our side”. New home builders offer knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly sales representatives. However, the sales representatives work for the builder, not the buyer. Courtney and Michael did an outstanding job as our representatives! They have a great working rapport with all of the new home builders and extensive knowledge in how the entire process works. Having your own Realtor when buying new construction is crucial whether you live local or several states away. We highly recommend using ‘Sold by Chenkus’ to be your representative.

I don't usually write reviews but I had to write one for Courtney and Michael. We just purchased our home and with this team, it was seamless. Any communication we had (e-mail, text, call) was like working with one superagent. They were always on top of what was happening and took extra time to make us comfortable with the property, the community, and the entire process. We did all this remotely and were so happy after the closing and finally seeing our purchase in person. It couldn't have been easier :)!!!

5 stars is an understatement. Courtney and Michael are well informed, genuine, and always available when needed. With Lakewood Ranch having so many communities, it can be difficult to comprehend. Courtney and Michael heard us out on what we were looking for and were direct when needed, while providing high quality options. These two are the Lakewood Ranch experts, and are the only two I would call if looking in the area. We couldn't be happier with our new home!

Michael and Courtney are truly outstanding real estate professionals. From start to finish, they were with us every step of the way, going above and beyond in assisting us in selling our home. Before we even signed an agreement with them they kept us informed during the building process, catching builder errors that required correcting, and sharing critical information about the area, the community and the market. They are extremely personable, professional, and exceptionally talented. We were especially impressed with their communication skills. They constantly kept us informed of everything that was going on as we went from building to listing to sale. They handled every challenge we encountered, including last minute buyer grumblings, calmly and professionally, always looking out for our best interests. In the 20+ real estate transactions we have been involved with over the years, Courtney and Michael are without a doubt the best that we have had the pleasure to work with. You simply cannot go wrong in hiring this amazing team as your real estate representatives.
