Philippa is AMAZING. As a first time homebuyer looking for a house during one of the craziest…read moretimes, Philippa was extremely helpful and more importantly brutally honest in the best way possible. She took the time to get to know me, what I was looking for and didn't waste time helping me find the place I can call home. She could tell within minutes of walking up to a property if it was worth a walk through or if we should move onto the next one. Philippa took the time to make sure I understood what to look for in a house as well as every part of the home buying process. When my initial offer didn't get accepted, she quickly negotiated details of my offer with the listing agent on a deal that worked out perfectly for everyone involved. If you want a realtor who knows what she's doing and can make anything in the home buying/selling process a breeze, Philippa is the best.

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.

He had used them twice and loved their work. After we did some research on Duncan Duo (which was all excellent!) We decided to use them as well. I must say this team was exactly as the gentleman suggested, each member of the team we connected with was highly professional, courteous, kind and respectful! (And truly knowledgeable in their field!). We always had access to someone for questions and they basically held her hand all the way! (And even listened to me when I had to vent!!). There were some unforeseen circumstances In our neighborhood that appeared to cause problems for the sale of our house which was going extremely well in the beginning. This was definitely not something we could have ever figured we'd encounter! But I must say even with the issues we had The Duncan Duo team took care of everything and got our house sold quickly and at a fair price! (my hubby and I walked away with our house sold, a nice check and relatively unscathed!). Thank you to The Duncan Duo team! We would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a stellar Realty team and we would definitely use them again!

I needed a realtor that could work with me from afar and outsource any necessary updates, repairs, inspections etc. I chose to work with Stephanie Cleason from Duncan Duo Team because their office was just down the street and I figured at some point their close proximity might come in handy. Which ultimately proved true when my electronic lock failed one day and I needed them to let me in. My house was in pretty good shape and but my title situation was not. Stephanie was able to coordinate minor repairs with local contractors and also get me in touch with an affordable lawyer to help settle my title issues. Overall my experience with the Duncan Duo was great and I'd be happy to recommend them to others.

Prior to buying our first home, my husband and I thought a real estate agent just helped you with…read morethe actual purchasing or sale of a home. We almost didn't even have a realtor, and we are so fortunate to have had Kam Patel as ours. As first time home buyers, we really were unfamiliar with a lot of the process and what needed to take place along the way in building a home. Kam guided us through the entire process. He responded within seconds to any question we had (and there were many). He really helped us purchase our home at a great price and helped provide us with the knowledge we needed. Some examples of how Kam helped us are: 1- We did a pre-drywall inspection which caught many issues and allowed us to take photos of the plumbing and electric inside the walls. He made sure to contact the construction manager multiple times to get the exact date of when the drywall will be up to have us schedule the inspection before. We also paid for an inspection prior to closing which ensured that we ran into minimal issues in our beginning time in our new home. These were things we did not even think of and would not have done without his insight. 2- He helped us understand the closing costs sheets and directed us to contacts who got us cheaper home insurance rates. 3- With COVID times, the lender had us drive to the office and stay in the car to sign the papers. The lender just handed us the documents and I quote: "Read through them, sign where I indicated and if you have questions call us on the phone". Kam saw our frustration and went above and beyond to walk us through the papers himself and explained them one by one. (Which was not his job). With Kam's experience in real estate he saved us headaches and money. We could not be happier with our new home and appreciate the many hours Kam put in to make it happen. I was so pleased with Kam's work, I referred him to help my mom buy her new home and sell her previous one which she mentioned having a similar great experience with him as well. Last, I must add that being LGBTQ+, Kam was very friendly, easy going, nonjudgmental and shared a mutual respect throughout the whole process. Thank you again so much Kam!

We visited multiple builders and Kam was so helpful in asking them questions we didn't even consider. Happy to say we found our home only a month later and gladly would use Kam again in the future.

Short Summary Review We worked with Natalia Velasco of…read moreChoice RE LLC / Charles Rutenberg Realty to sell our Tampa home, and the experience was extremely disappointing. She listed our property with the wrong sales price, left us with almost no updates for months, and failed to hold open houses. When she finally brought a buyer, it was another agent from her own office, which left us feeling she was not representing our best interests. To make matters worse, the inspection process was handled poorly, with misleading or fabricated claims and even a "fake" report sent before the real one. Most "issues" noted were either inaccurate or easily fixed for under $400. We have bought and sold many properties over the years, and this was by far the most unprofessional experience. Proceed with caution if you plan to work with Natalia Velasco or inspector Gregg Forscher (License #HI12660).

There are serious clear ethical violations that are…read morebeing reported to the state and ethics board that Charles Rutenberg has only seemed to ignore. I started to do some background searches on their realtor Ginger Gillum and discovered quite an extensive history of public court records along with a very serious traffic arrest allegation. The information I discovered would certainly call into question the character of someone for employment eligibility and particularly in real estate dealing with financial transactions. You only need to do a simple internet search on arrests, mug shots, and public court records to gather quite a lot of information. Because I trusted Ginger Gillum as being a long-time friend of my mother's and knowing the family. I did not do this extensive research. It is important to investigate her background extensively should you chose to enter a real estate transaction with her. Charles Rutenberg has not said much of anything with my entire situation. It is important to report serious broken ethical standards with any realtor and my experienced has proven no different. Buyer beware Ginger Gillum and Charles Rutenberg do not have the best histories and it would seem they do not have their client interests at the front before their own. If you are selling or buying your home, look for another realty and realtor. If you don't, you only have yourself to blame when something happens. Do your research on Charles Rutenberg and Ginger Gillum.
