I had a very uncomfortable and concerning experience while attempting to view the property located…read moreat 3545 Haystack Road, Zephyrhills, FL, with realtor Shannon Coughlin, who stated she works with Davis Clarke, Inc. / DC Property Management and Charles Rutenburg Realty. Ms. Coughlin initially stated that I would be able to view the home if I provided a copy of my driver's license. Relying on that representation, I sent both the front and back of my driver's license. After my identification was reviewed, the showing was denied, and she stated that she felt "uncomfortable." When I asked why my identification was requested and why I was told I could view the home if the showing was not going to occur, her tone became rude and dismissive, and my request for a clear explanation was characterized as being "argumentative." She then provided multiple inconsistent explanations, including stating she did not receive the back of my license, later admitting she did receive both the front and back via my business email, and then stating she could not proceed because the license did not come through via text, even after acknowledging receipt by email. She further stated she was not checking for it and again said she did not feel comfortable moving forward. At one point, she stated, "I see now it wouldn't work with you renting from me." No objective or consistent reason was provided, and the showing was denied only after my identification was reviewed. The shifting explanations and denial after reviewing my identification left me feeling scrutinized and subjected to what felt like prejudiced treatment, rather than being evaluated fairly as a prospective renter. While safety or verification protocols may exist in real estate, they should be communicated clearly, applied consistently, and handled professionally and respectfully. This behavior is unacceptable and fell well below the standards of professionalism, transparency, and fair treatment that clients should expect.

As first-time sellers navigating a buyers' market, we had every reason to be nervous -- and…read morehonestly, we were. But from day one, Dave brought a calm confidence that made all the difference. He explained each step of the process thoroughly, always made time for our questions, and genuinely valued our input. It never felt like we were just another transaction to him. "While we were quietly freaking out, Dave was steadily steering us in the right direction." Were there a few bumps along the way? Sure. There was some early confusion around what needed to stay with the home versus what we could take -- a learning curve for us as new sellers. And one showing caught us completely off guard. Not ideal. But to Dave's credit, he took the feedback in stride and kept the process moving. What matters most is where we landed: sold ! with a good price taking into account the market condition and on time, exactly when he said we would be. That kind of reliability in a difficult market is genuinely hard to come by. Dave earned our trust, and if we find ourselves on either side of a real estate deal again, he'll be the first call we make. Highly recommend.

Bottom line up front: If you value your time and money you need Kris Kennedy!…read more I'm a planner. When the Navy told my husband we were moving to the Tampa Bay Area, I immediately started to research local area real-estate agents. Kris Kennedy got many favorable reviews across my most trusted websites and here on Yelp he's a total rockstar. After our initial conversation I knew he was the agent for us. We just closed on our Tampa Bay Home Area home today and having finished the process, I'm delighted to report Kris Kennedy lives up to every accolade he's received. Kris is a really nice guy (but let's face it ALL real estate agents are charming) Kris sets himself above the other agents starting with his professional demeanor and promptness. He is smart and shrewd a brilliantly, tenacious negotiator and an excellent communicator. He has league of professionals in his network that seemingly bend over backwards for him and thusly bend over backwards for his clients. Certainly if I had a question or a concern Kris had an answer, knew someone that did or found out and reported back quickly. He gave us excellent advice, asked important questions, custom built searches to suit our needs, and secured digital paperless portals to complete paperwork. Kris not only saved us time (his efficiency is miraculous), he saved us money A. LOT. OF. MONEY! 1. We were convinced we wanted a V.A. loan but upon Kris's suggestion we looked into it and discovered in this particular instance, using a conventional saved us about 11K. 2. After running some comps, speaking to the seller, investigating the history of the home we wanted etc. Kris was able to negotiate a savings of 24K from list price. FYI my husband and I would've paid asking price and Kris knew it. He worked his magic and saved us a total of 35K. This process was seamless in no small part thanks to the tireless workings of Kris Kennedy and his network of professionals.

Thanks so much Principle Realty for all these years of piece of mind. I also recommended Principle Realty to my daughter who purchased her first home last year. She was very professional and patient in helping her make decisions that were beneficial to her. All the way around I would recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell a home or manage one they already own. Way to go

Updated review, after being a tenant for seven months: The…read morestaff is very nice and personable, I have visited Chris and the gang at length at times when I have went in to pay rent. You can pay your rent online, but if you don't enter your bank routing info, the fee is a little steep. So, I'd recommend paying by check each month, or entering your banking info on the site, which I don't typically do. The duplex I rent is beautiful, especially the lawn and botanical touches, and I get many compliments from friends who have come to visit. I would actually love to own something so beautiful and easy to maintain in the future and rent out the other side. It feels like a house/home instead of the apartments I'm used to since moving back to Florida. I love all the beautiful windows, the paint was freshly updated, nice blinds, cold a/c, pretty kitchen and basically, everything was in good working order when I rented (the items that weren't, such as simple things like the shower fan or doorbell not working, they promptly fixed). I felt like as a management team that they care about my needs. The pest control company did a good job right before I moved in when I pointed out (the very few) pests I found; after that, tenant is responsible for pest control and I take care of that myself with Home Defense from Lowe's and haven't seen any pests. Starting this year, maintenance can be informed a different way: on the website via a form, by email, or by separate phone number to contact. The staff, the maintenance crew and even the lawn guys are extremely nice and helpful. I would highly recommend Ms. Nada and her fantastic folks at House Huntin'! I understand they manage thousands of properties, and not just in this state. Way to go, staff! Support a local, woman-owned small business that knows how to treat their tenants right (Nada showed me the place personally as I filled out the application, and I knew right away it was what I wanted). I look forward to a long relationship with these folks until and unless I buy my own house at some point. If you contact me or write/call them, please let them know a former renter (Michelle A.) sent you. I think they manage so many places, you and your family will be able to find something suitable. I'll be glad to help you if I can, this place is just one of the many nice places they rent out.

Now I hate to say it but I have to write a retraction to the positive review I gave them. We took posession of our current rental thru them on 21 Dec 17. We were sadly disappointed upon entering this rental. It was totally outdated, air conditioning did not work, hot water tank was non-functioning, ceiling fan in bedroom not working, place was dirty, carpets uncleaned and so much more. Also found two dead roaches under the kitchen sink where the floor of the cupboard was rotted and a dead roach was found in the bathroom under the sink. Microwave is non-functioning and to top it off, no smoke alarms were to be found. Apparently an inspection before we took the keys was not done. A statement was made that a thorough cleaning was done but alas, this was not the case. After all our aggravation and disappointment some of the issues have been rectified but they should have been found in the inspection. Also, I have started doing a thorough cleaning and just did the living room and kitchen area and had to empty my vacuum twice due to all the filth vacuumed from the rug. I can honestly say I would never recommend this company to anyone either to manage or to find a rental. My husband and I are two very dissatisfied renters. Theresa Koplas

Linda is an awesome realtor and property manager! I WAS renting from her property management for 6…read moreyears. The reason why I continued renting for so long was because the service was consistent!! Every time I needed something fix, I would enter the service in the site and Linda would call me the same day to fix the issue. I never had a situation where she could not fix anything. The rent was affordable and we never had an issue with the rent going sky rocket high. I appreciate Linda's service. As a matter fact, this year the reason why I am no longer renting from Linda is because she helped me buy a house! I didn't think I could afford to buy a house. I am a single mother and it's hard doing it on your own. I told Linda that I was interested in buying a house somewhere and I gave her my requirements and what I can afford one day. Within that same day, Linda contacted the builder and she used her real estate "LINGO" and she was able to get my closing cost WAIVED!!! This honestly was a blessing to me. She saved me $9000 in closing cost. It's feels good to say I am a homeowner now!! Even after I bought my house, she checked in with me to see how I was doing. She is someone who really wants to help people fullfil their dreams. Please contact Linda Wright because she is the W"RIGHT" choice!

At the time we had a lot of personal decisions that we were juggling and even the location of our new home was up in the air. Linda dedicated so much time to showing us homes and all the possibilities in several locations that we were interested in like South Tampa, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, wherever we thought we wanted to look at a house. There was even an entire day that she dedicated to us and we were able to view 12 houses throughout all of the locations I just mentioned. Linda was there and did in-depth research on each home, could answer all of our questions for each individual home, she knew the neighborhoods, school zones, taxes, you name it- Linda had the info. She was absolutely dependable throughout the entire process. She would call and email us back constantly in a timely manner when we had questions. She even made the offer, in between paperwork, inspections and closing process easy and stress-free. My fiance and I highly recommend Linda Wright for all of your home buying needs and inquiries. Thank you Linda! Don't know what we would have done without you!
