Buying a new home from 1,100 miles away is tricky and we are very fortunate to have had Stephanie on our side. Stephanie spent multiple weekends with us when we came to town to house hunt and countless hours of phone conversation that worked around our busy work schedule. She provided us with her insight from her experience and also really listed to our needs and comments we would make while walking thru new homes. If I said on house #3 I didn't like the setup, yet walked into that same setup on house #33, she was right there with her clipboard to remind us. We spent 8 months looking for our home, Stephanie gave us constant attention and follow up from beginning to end. Never once did Stephanie make us feel we needed to rush thru the process and pick a house. After closing, she has been a phone call away to provide local references. My husband and I are both appreciative of the hard work Stephanie put in. Her professional organization skills are top-notch, she was always responsive and super pro-active on our behalf. I highly recommend Stephanie, and if the need arises for us again - we will be using her as our Realtor.

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.

It's unfortunate that this review is at a 1-star level, but it honestly reflects my experience…read more First, if I had to do this over again, I would NEVER sign a 6 month contract w/ any agency not just Berkshire, (but that's just my personal opinion) and with any contract make sure you understand all the add-on fees (administrative bs etc) that are tacked on prior to signing, because ultimately it comes out of your $$$. Negotiate these away if you can. The Despota Team consists of 3 individuals (Team Manager, husband & wife)--1 of which I had previously worked w/ who was very proactive 5 years ago when we purchased our home, and the sole reason I reached out to her when we were interested in selling our home. Upon signing our 6-month contract (mistake #1) & not negotiating the add-on fees (mistake #2), that is when everything stopped becoming effortless and quickly became a colossal headache. Team Depsota required micromanaging and cattle prodding (not something I expected from Berkshire) and in my opinion once the contract was signed (6 months) & the listing went live their work/effort ceased. See detail below: 1. There were numerous errors on the primary listing that required correction. 2. We had many phone calls/texts over whether the property was in a flood zone or no flood zone (which makes a difference in the state of Florida). 3. I had to request that on open house be held at the property and the time the agents selected was between 3pm-5pm on a Saturday afternoon which certainly was not ideal in my eyes. Once again, NO suggestion from the "Team" that this could be beneficial in promoting the sale of our home. 4. Photos on the listing required management and initially looked awful and the flow of the photos made zero sense until I called to have the unnecessary pictures of Walmart signs, strip malls etc removed. Maybe the "Team" should be reviewing how their listings look---just a thought. Overall, our experience was unsatisfactory. Our house sold because of all the hard work outside agencies did in repeatedly showing our home to potential buyers. The Despota team of Berkshire Hathaway I feel stands on its name only and just expects that its name alone will move properties. The "team" provided little to no effort and at times their effort was sloppy. If I could have issued the buyer's agent 70% of the commission I would have done so because it was earned. The Despota team certainly didn't earn their cut in my eyes. Potential sellers beware & just do your research before signing a contract. If I had to do it over again, I would find an agent that is "hungry" and wanting to put in the work. Jennifer Hardy
