Seller of Unit E/2515 W Kansas Ave, Tampa
Outstanding experience with a complex situation and challenging market. We had rapid work relocation to Europe and were not able to go through a "normal" sales process. Steven was amazing and handled everything remotely, from helping us to sell our cars to staging and even lawn work. He navigated one of the rougher housing markets in recent year in Tampa with great skill, always communicating and being transparent and honest. In the end, he was able to take a great deal of stress off of us as we acclimated to Europe and get a great result with our sell. I would highly recommend Steven as both an agent and a person. His character and caring are extraordinary!
Seller of 2303 South Occident Street, Tampa
We worked with Steven to both buy and sell our Tampa property 3 years apart. Both transactions were handled professionally and expeditiously despite the fact that the opposing broker for the recent sale was less than helpful to say the least throughout the process which was a shame as we wanted to sell to the buyers as much as they wanted to buy! We would not to hesitate to recommend Steven and Sample/Warneke.

Seller of 2/135 92nd Avenue, Treasure Island
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.
Seller of 2303 South Ardson Place, Tampa
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.
Seller of 905 South Packwood Avenue, Tampa
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!

Seller of 17420 Varona Place, Lutz
We and worked with John when purchasing the property when John acted on the previous sellers behalf. When unfortunately, we had to re locate, we knew we wanted John working in our corner this time. Johns, communication, effort, and knowledge is unsurpassed, and he was always on hand at any moment of the day to update, add re assurance, and let us know exactly if anything we needed to do. The process was smooth, and we made a friend along the way! I couldnt recommend him enough to anyone. What he told us on day one was still what he was saying when we sold, and he was spot on in every way.
Seller of 2710 West Grace Street, Tampa
John is a not only a good friend who has top notch knowledge of real estate market but is also a highly skilled individual who brings both quality and innovation to workplace. His vast experience in selling homes is primary the reason I was able to engage him in handling my house sale. He has proven techniques, excellent interpersonal communication and a market leader who assess market data and detailed research to provide viable solutions.

Seller of 2910 West Aquilla Street, Tampa
Working with Dana to sell our home was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the very beginning, she brought professionalism, expertise, and a calm confidence that immediately put us at ease. She walked us through every step of the process- from pricing and staging to negotiations and closing — and made sure we always understood what was happening. Our sale was dependent on both our buyers and their buyers selling their homes. Dana’s knowledge and ability to stay on top of everything made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier on both myself and the buyers. I would highly recommend Dana for either your house buying or selling needs. We have used her for both and felt each transaction went smoothly and easily celebrated once complete. Dana will go above and beyond for her clients and that is truly what puts her in a league of her own. We hope to work with Dana again for our next home purchase.
