Buyer of 11 Almond Trail, Ocala
Duke and his team were on top of things every step of the way. He told me at the 1st house we went to. "Don't worry, you will get the house you are meant to have". I had that sentence stuck in my head and he was absolutely right! He was on point with what I should offer with where the market is at. 10/10 I will use him again, when the time comes!
Seller of 5 Spring Lake Lane, Silver Springs Shores
We ran into many issues when selling the house. Duke almost always had answers to get the issues dealt with. We were new to selling a house, so him knowing where to turn when problems came up, made things a lot easier.

Kristen sold me this very same home almost seven years ago, and although people become out of touch - we are all so busy these days, but when I called her and said I was going to sell my home and purchase another one, we met to discuss everything, and we picked up right where we left off! Kristen is a truly extraordinary woman. She is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable about the real estate market. I asked her many, many questions, and she always answered them, and I have learned so much from her expertise. Kristen is a kind and caring person, who is clearly passionate about her work. We had several speed bumps, and every time she said, “we got this”, it gave me the courage to push through and not give up! That’s a pretty darn good person in my book! Kristen has guided me through buying my first house, selling it, and buying a new one, and I will be forever grateful for her dedication & passion for what she does, her excellent knowledge, truth, & honesty. Getting through this journey was quite challenging, and I couldn’t imagine having gone through it with anyone else but her. I am so blessed to have shared all of it with this great lady!! Thank you for EVERYTHING Kristen!!

Seller of 3702 Trapnell Grove Loop, Plant City
Jose is everything you would want in a realtor. He is calm in times of chaos and assertive when it comes time to holding his ground. His friendly demeanor makes you feel like you’re working with family. And his knowledge of homes and the area is second to none. I would only work with Jose going forward. Jose possesses all the qualities one would seek in a realtor. He remains composed in challenging situations and asserts himself when necessary. His amiable demeanor fosters a sense of familial rapport. Furthermore, his extensive knowledge of homes and the surrounding area is unparalleled. Consequently, I would exclusively engage in future transactions with Jose.
