A skilled agent brings value to a real estate transaction. I am about to close on a College Park condo and have Kris's proactive approach and effective negotiating skills to thank for it. He has taken care of all of the details, and I have been able to trust that everything that needs to happen will happen. Kris is an excellent agent, and knowledgeable about the local markets, in particular College, Baldwin and Winter Park. He knows how to make a deal happen and I highly recommend him. read more

I contacted Kris about a short sale home that was for sale. Looked to see if he could answer some questions but he just told me he has people that work with short sales. He never responded anymore after that. read more

Words cannot begin to express how grateful we are to Kris & his team. I did my due diligence to find the right realtor to sell my mother in laws home in Orlando. Hands down Kris is the guy you need. I have been in the service industry for over 25 yrs and I can definitely say that Kris embodies the essence of great customer service, follow thru and patience. He is super easy to work with and is very flexible. He is the realtor that will go above and beyond for you. For example, my mother in law accidentally locked herself out of the house & the spare key was in the lock box outside. Well, Kris literally dropped was he was doing and went to let her in. WOW! what realtor does that? If you're on the fence on who to use, all I'll say is just talk to him for 5 minutes and you'll see what I'm raving about. He has the "bed side manners" of a realtor that we all want. He's NOT your typical "car salesman" type realtor that is just looking for a quick sale. He is worth his competitive rates and then some. OH!! and he helped us secure and do a warm intro to a realtor we needed in Illinois from the Compass Group. The entire process was seamless and professional. Again, if you're on the fence it won't hurt to just talk to him. He is not pushy at all. He knows his stuff and is resourceful. Thank you again Kris! read more

My family and I recently arrived in Orlando and, due to some very negative past experiences with realtors in other locations, we were a little concerned about finding a good realtor - someone we could trust and hopefully "gel" with as well. I came across Kris Kennedy while searching YouTube for real estate info in the area. I loved his videos and especially his demeanor, so we set up a meeting with Kris at the Compass office in Winter Park, and we instantly felt very comfortable with him. Kris was great to work with every step of the way, as was his team member, Kevin. They both took time to understand and care for our needs, and there was never any pressure. And, because we're a very proactive and team-driven family, we loved the space that both Kris and Kevin gave us to be very involved during the searching, negotiating, purchasing, and closing process. Kris was always there for us; he was fully available and promptly responsive. We loved the fact that he would most often take the time to call instead of texting which made things more personal and convenient. More than anything, we felt we could trust Kris and Kevin, and they made us feel like we mattered, which really is priceless. A huge thank you to Kris and his team. It was a sincere pleasure working with you!! read more

Kris negotiated a great deal for me. I recently purchased a new construction home and Kris represented me as my buyer's agent. This was my first new construction purchase and I am so glad Kris was on my side to help me navigate the process and negotiate for me. I feel Kris did a great job because he simplified the process. His confidence made me more confident. He also helped us save some serious money(~$50k) with his negotiating. There were some challenging points and a lot of moving parts upfront between the builder, builder's agent, and myself. We first looked at homes in Winter Park, Delaney Park, and Baldwin Park. Ultimately, I bought a home in College Park. I absolutely love it. The area was not on my radar at first. Kris encouraged me to look at the public schools and drive time to get to my office. The schools had great ratings and the drive time was more convenient for me. There is a great little mai street with everything you could need: parks, golf course, grocery, post office, salons, restaurants, boutiques, and more. Our favorite part is that there are lots of families in the area which has been great for my kids and I to make friends. We are a stones throw to Winter Park and downtown, so we can still enjoy everything in those areas if we want as well. I am so glad that Kris was my realtor. read more

Bottom line up front: If you value your time and money Kris Kennedy is your man. Kris is a true real estate professional; he was our buyers agent when we purchased our home in 2020. Kris sent plenty of options curtailed to our needs. He coached us throughout the process from start to finish he showed expertise, savvy and finesse. He comported himself with grace and poise as he deftly negotiated to win the contract on the house we really wanted. His shrewd understanding of the market, incredible negotiating skills and awareness of lending options saved us 35K+. Although he knew we would have gone as high as we needed to, Kris lobbied for the best deal he could get us. To be clear HE GOT US OUR FIRST CHOICE PROPERTY AND NEGOTIATED A LOWER PRICE (no small feat in 2020). We wanted to use a VA loan but all things considered Kris convinced us to investigate a few other lending options which saved us more $$$$. Kris's network of professional associates bend over backward for him (and thusly for his clients). He follows up. After we closed Kris has been in regular contact with us, offering productive assistance such as tax advice and reminders. He even went out of his way to get me a local interview when the my job market became saturated. There aren't many hardworking, smart, caring, professionals anymore; but you are lucky to have found one in Kris. You would be lucky to find yourself in business with Kris Kennedy. I cannot recommend him any more highly. 5 stars! read more

Kris recently helped me sell my home in Winter Park, FL, and the sale and closing process couldn't have been easier with Kris' guidance and support. I came across Kris on YouTube when I initially moved to Winter Park and wanted to learn more about the area. Kris' YouTube channel is very informative and provides a lot of information about Winter Park and the surrounding neighborhoods and living in central Florida in general. Kris has built a strong team and has a wide network of buyers/sellers as well as across his peer group of agents, which allowed us to sell our home above asking price before it was even on the market (which is impressive especially given today's increasing interest rates). Kris made the closing process seamless, with just a 17-day close period. Kris, thanks for all of your support and making this such a smooth process! read more

Kris was a great and very helpful realtor to work with. From the beginning, it was clear Kris was on top of his game. He had already made in an depth video explaining an investment property/properties in specific developments we were interested in. He was there to help in every step of the process and I cannot recommend Kris enough. If you're buying a home in the Orlando area, give Kris a call, you won't regret it. read more

My wife and I made the decision to move across the country to Orlando in 2022, and officially made the move in April 2023. Moving to a new state, we didn't know where to start with what areas to look in, so we rented an apartment in Orlando from April 2023-present. Through the entire process, dating back to our initial decision to move to Florida, we have gone to Kris for any and all questions. He gave us advice and talked to us about all the best places to live and made us feel comfortable and confident before our big move. After the move to FL and the new apartment, Kris made sure to check in to see if we needed anything. When the time came in 2024 to start the search for a new house, he was so quick to respond, and started sending us houses to browse that fit all of our preferences. He made time in his schedule the second we were ready to tour homes, and went above and beyond with knowledge of the areas around each house, and provided honest and helpful feedback. When we finally found the home we loved, he was extremely present for any questions or concerns through the buying process. He was available night and day to give us advice, and made us feel confident and clear on any and all inquiries we had. I can guarantee you that he is the BEST realtor in the state of Florida, and we really lucked out stumbling across an informational YouTube video of his back in 2022. Reaching out to him was the best decision we could have made. If you want someone who is knowledgeable on every aspect of realty, the housing market, all the areas of Florida, and someone who is willing to give you all their time and effort, CHOOSE KRIS!!! read more

If you're looking for a realtor that supports you in the way a realtor should -- then definitely call Kris Kennedy and his team. He is a true professional who really cares about what he does. He studies the market, he thinks strategically, and I've learned from experience that he really knows what he is talking about. Not to mention, he is honest. When I've worked with other realtors, I always felt like they were just unlocking doors and looking for a commission check. Kris helped us to understand how to identify a great deal in Orlando as well as how to list our property and get top dollar. Compass also has some pretty amazing technology tools to help with the search for homes. If you're buying or selling a home in central Florida, I can't recommend Kris enough. read more

Kris is an awesome real estate agent in central Florida. He has some great market knowledge and knows each neighborhood very well. He always seems to have his finger on the pulse. The relationships that he has are vast and can ultimately deliver superior service to the client. read more

Kris was a rockstar in helping us get into our new home in Winter Park and selling our previous home in Longwood. Kris was able to get us way more than we expected on the sale of our previous home. He had a professional stager consult us on preparing the home for sale. He was diligent on his marketing, open houses, and following up with potential buyers. Thanks to Kris, we felt the sale of our home was a smooth and easy process. Kris managed to negotiate a great deal on our new home - even during the time of an extremely competitive market. Kris negotiated an extended closing date for us, an appraisal contingency, and with a $25K discount from the sale price. The home actually appraised over value and we are very grateful for the built-in equity. Kris is a solid professional and great with communication. We highly recommend Kris and his team. read more

Kris is an excellent real estate agent. We were new to the area and he helped us narrow down our search and find the perfect house in the perfect area for our family. Kris went above and beyond. When we let go of the first contract after the home inspection, he FaceTimed us to view additional homes since we were out of state. He even made videos driving into the neighborhood and around the neighborhood. Moreover, since we were out of state, he met home inspectors and contractors for us. Kris is also very communicative and responds quickly to texts. You will not be disappointed choosing Kris as your real estate agent! read more

We highly recommend Kris. We have bought and sold 18 houses all across the US, and had a lot of (mostly average) experience with realtors, but Kris was one of the best that we worked with. Took the time to help us find houses to see that fit our needs, and was a big help as we tried to buy in this highly competitive Winter Park market. His local knowledge was a big help for us...Thanks Kris! read more

Kris is a great realtor to work with. He represented us as buyers moving from the west coast in a low inventory market that was very challenging for buyers in the Orlando area. Kris's knowledge of the local market and community, engaging personality, and extensive contacts were a big help to us in negotiating our offer and getting us through the home purchase process with minimum stress. He was a big help in arranging for home and septic inspections and resolving issues that were identified. State Farm Insurance does not currently insure homes in Florida built before 2002. Coming from the west coast with wild fire and earthquake risks, and no problems in obtaining home insurance, difficulties in obtaining home insurance in Florida were a surprise to us. Getting insurance for our home, built in 1953, depended on obtaining a clean 4-point inspection report and a good wind mitigation report. The electrical wiring had been recently redone in the house we wanted, but the inspection identified several small issues that were essentially incomplete work from when the house was rewired. Kris was very active in resolving the identified issues, which led to the inspector reissuing a clean 4-point inspection and an insurance contract for our house at reasonable cost. Long-distance, cross-country moves are very challenging and result in the need to find a wide variety of services and professionals as part of getting settled in our new home. Kris was helpful in providing good leads in finding some of these people. He also alerted us to a number of just plain fun community events such as farmer's markets, good restaurants, and the Lue Garden's plant sale, which provided welcome breaks from the tasks of unpacking and getting organized. We highly recommend Kris Kennedy and his team. read more

Kris was exactly what we sought in a realtor. We were transferring because of the military after being stationed in Hawaii for a new job in Orlando. Kris was referred to us from a realtor friend in a different area. As first-time home buyers, we were in uncharted territory and Kris was an excellent coach-mentor. He was patient, responsive, knowledgeable and dedicated to serving us and helping us reach our home buying goals. We never felt pressured to purchase a particular home or to look at homes outside of our desired budget or area. He was accommodating to our tight schedule to view properties and he organized our showing day professionally. Kris helped us make our first home offer, which was accepted over multiple other offers! And we now own the home we wanted, in the budget we set, and in the time frame we needed it. Honestly, there is so much more we could say about Kris and we are grateful to have met him. We believe he'd really suit any family's needs and exceed your expectations for home buying. He's truly a stellar realtor. read more

I had called Kris and Charles after a bad experience with another listing agent and a low volume of both offers and viewings. After being told we could not get what we needed for our house, we took it off the market and started interviewing new agents. When we spoke with Kris he was courteous and professional, however he did not promise us anything until he saw the property and did some market research. After he had done that he told us that he could get it done with a few professional needs addressed. At no point did Kris or Charles mislead, over promise or try and sell us in order to get us to list with them. The first thing that happened is they showed up and did a survey of the property. Directly after that they started the process of doing comparison market research while simultaneously sending out a professional photographer. Within a week we had what seemed like an excessive amount of viewings and offers well over what our previous listing agent had been able to produce. When we said no to low offers they did not pressure us to do anything but get what was fair and acceptable for the home. When inspectors came and found small things wrong they relentlessly negotiated on our behalf and did not give in to unreasonable demands. They fought for our family every step of the way and we got more than we needed for the property. At no time did they try and pressure or talk us into taking a lower offer just to make a commission. Every step of the way they were constant professionals who also helped us find a home that fit our growing families needs. They helped us find an amazing home for under budget and in a great area with good schools and community. I truly believe that both the moral and ethical values they have shown separate them from all the other realtors I have ever dealt with. If you go with these guys not only your family but your wallet is in great hands." read more
