Our experience with Eric Bogert of the Tony Baroni Team: We could not have asked for a better home buying experience than the one we got with Eric Bogert. We first met Eric in August of 2014, as we prepared for our son's 3rd grade school year. Eric is still referred to in our house as "Mr. Bogert", and, despite being older than he is, I have a difficult time calling him Eric. When he left teaching, it was to the profound loss of the school community as he was an amazing educator and advocate for the children he taught, but it was definitely to the real estate and home buyers advantage. My husband and I had a poor experience with another realtor years prior, and lost out on a few homes due offers being submitted days after we signed them. House hunting promised to be a daunting experience, but not so with Eric. Our first priority (and Eric's having known our son as a student) was purchasing in a top tier school zone. We attempted to be very realistic about our needs and wants. Eric was available to us on the weekend so that my husband would be able to be a part of the home search process, and he was happy to show us as many homes as we wanted to see. We chose the home we ended up purchasing on our second day of showings and knew right away that it was "the one". To be honest, I think he knew which home we would end up with. He managed to get us our house despite a lot of interest in the property, which speaks very highly to his reputation amongst his colleagues and who they prefer to work with. After being unable to reach our lender when we were searching, Eric was able to suggest a new lender who had our approval to us the same day and was also amazing through the whole purchase. Even after closing, we felt able to reach out to Eric with questions and concerns. His dedication to his clients does not end when the last signature dries on the line. With Eric's experience in teaching and his outgoing personality, he is the best choice in a realtor if you are buying a home. Period. This is especially true for first time buyers, like our family, because Eric has the patience, knowledge, and passion for what he does that makes the home buying experience as painless as possible while providing stellar service. read more

Craig Kelner who is a real estate agent for the Tony Baroni Keller Williams Team in Lithia Florida is one of the best! I met him a little over a year when my father passed away. Yes, a horrible time high emotions and you never know what can happen! He gave us a pretty accurate value on the house and property at the time. He also answered all my crazy questions! He was very knowledgeable about the schools, the area in general and who would be a good fit for the property. He was extremely helpful! Even sending him questions and asking for recommendations of other skilled laborers to help possible fix up the house, months after meeting him for an hour or so. He was truly helpful and quick with his recommendations. He truly could have ghosted me! We took about 9 months before listing like I said he truly could have forgotten all about me, my dads property but he truly did remember me, well maybe more of the property! LOL!! I don't live close I live on the other side of the country. So, when I knew my family was not going to be buying this property we knew who we wanted to list it for someone else to love. I remember Craig was knowledgeable and kind so when we finally decided to put the house up for sale he was our absolute first choice! Craig may have had to deal with family drama but handled it like a champ. He found us the best deal for us! He guided us through the selling ebb and flow. He was able to get us the best price for the condition of this property. He was available to us just about 24/7! Phone calls, text and emails always answered in a timely manner. Craig, Louis and Chelsea at the Tony Baroni Keller Williams Real Estate are a winning combination! If you are looking to sell have them be your team! If you are looking to buy they may be the best team to help fine your dream home! The housing market is crazy have the best by your side in this crazy world that only Craig Kelner with the Tony Baroni Team! He wants to talk with you! Give him a call today! read more

I would highly recommend the Tony Baroni Team/Keller Williams. I had a very unique residential riverfront property with additional space for an income-producing unit in North Tampa which I wanted to sell. I interviewed numerous realtors and decided to list with the lead agent, Craig Kellner, because of his experience and his particular approach in accessing the property. It was the perfect decision. This very unusual property was on the market for only eight days before I accepted an offer. The buyer's original offer came in lower than I was willing to accept. Craig recommended making a counter offer. I had a figure in mind but Craig felt the best course of action was to counter with yet an additional $10K. The counter offer was accepted and we closed quickly. He is a skilled negotiator. I believe Craig brought me top dollar! I was a very "involved" seller and the team was very accommodating with my special requests regarding how the property should be presented. Because of the uniqueness of this particular property, Luis Muto was wonderful in working very closely with me in preparing the MLS listing, photos, video and color brochure exactly how I wanted the property to be presented. Chelsea Troche did an excellent job working with me on coordinating all the details necessary leading up to the final closing. Listing with this particular team has many benefits among them being professional photos, video, three-D virtual tour, color brochure with every property and access to a professional stager all included in the listing commission. The entire team was accessible, responsive, courteous...an absolute pleasure to work with and I'd recommend them highly to any prospective seller. read more

Tony Baroni helped my Wife and I purchase our first home 10 years ago. We closed on a Monday and got married on a Friday. He was amazing and helped us keep calm throughout the entire process in what we thought was a crazy time. Flash forward to today and Tony and his team helped us sell that house and buy our dream home all during the Covid 19 pandemic. Needless to say this was an even more stressful time for us and we were so lucky to have Tony and his entire amazing team help us complete the whole process. They were able to get us our asking price for our old home and negotiated all the transactions required to sell and buy all on the same day. Also with their new Keller Mortgage system they were able to save us thousands. Tony and everyone on his team were always attentive and communicated so effectively that whoever we talked to they were always up to speed. This would be amazing at any time but especially since they were working with so many other clients all during the beginning unknown stages of the Covid 19 pandemic. Specifically our buyers agent "Super Kate" was amazing. She was always available to answer all of our questions and concerns and genuinely seemed to care about our happiness and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered. It was really great being able to trust Tony and his team to make every right decision. I can't recommend them enough. I constantly recommend them to anyone I hear that is in need of a realtor. Without a doubt you cannot get a better realtor and team in the Tampa Bay area. read more

For anyone looking to purchase a property in Central Florida go to the Tony Baroni Team. Our realtor was Mike Malcom. By far the best realtor I have ever had. We were referred to Mike's office and initially met him there without him knowing anything about us. We are from upstate New York and were interested in looking for properties to purchase but not until another year. Mike immediately took special care of all our real estate needs. We spent 2 hours just talking and getting to know each other. Mike developed an understanding of what we were looking for and provided a list of properties for us to look at. Mike's knowledge of the central Florida area and his years of experience in real estate were invaluable during our search. Even though our anticipated purchase date was way in the future, Mike provided us service equated to a first time buyer who needed information relevant to all aspects of Florida life. Mike found us the perfect home within our budget. We met Mike in mid January and closed on the home the first week of April. Easily, a full year ahead of schedule. I firmly believe the only reason we had such success in our search for a new home was because of the superior service we were given by Mike Malcom and Tony Baroni Team. Mike's a special person to us and has become a great friend of the family. We are looking forward to spending time with him and his family during our time in Florida. read more

Chris Jossi done an outstanding job finding me a new home. He listened to what and where I wanted the perfect home. Homes move quick and there is not a lot of time to act on the right home. Once found, Chris was quick to get the contract written correctly and submitted. He followed through from searching to closing. The real challenge was getting the work done after the inspection for closing. With Chris' negotiating expertise the seller decided to install a new AC system at their cost. Chris worked closely on issues with title on the seller's side and pushed for resolution, and credit for an extended rental I had to stay in. Lauri Magie was also a blessing to have on this closing. Coordinating the events of the sale, follow up with inspections, survey and the issues pertaining to the title insurance. The "stand-out" with Laurie is the follow up and updates I would regularly receive. I never had to go looking for my answers. Laurie would follow up and update regularly without being asked or returning a message. Unheard of these days! I will credit both Chris, and Lauri with responsive attitudes, willingness to do their job, and the courtesy of communicating in all modes. They both made time to listen, made phone calls, and verbally communicated. I never felt like an item that was checked of their list for the day. Traits that have been lost and forgotten in today's work arena! Sincerely, Thomas Ramage read more

Wonderful experience, Excellent Agent and support team: My wife and I were faced with the challenge of selling a very unique house, coupled in a somewhat challenging housing market. My wife later found Tony's company online on Zillow, and we were extremely blessed we did. Amazingly, Tony's team managed to get our house under contract in 3 days, and we later closed about a month later to the same buyer! My wife and I had previously looked into other realtors and run into major problems with: lack of responsiveness, major egos, and a serious lack of personal touch. This was not the case, at any point, with Tony and his team, as one of the first conversations Tony had with my wife as "what is important to you and what do you expect in your realtor?" Once we signed w/Tony, he and his team worked very efficiently and quickly to get our house staged, pictured and promoted. Tony and his team were extremely responsive to any inquiries we had during the process, and even did a wonderful job of properly assisting the potential buyer with inquiries that were a major part of our expedited sale. Tony and his network of team members have been the most honest, genuine, and knowledgable professionals, we have dealt within any real estate setting. I have highly recommended Tony and his team to my family and friends, and would highly recommend him and his team to anyone that values results with integrity. read more

My wife and I searched the Internet for a short sale expert as we knew nothing whatsoever about the process, and quite frankly a little anxious about it. We were introduced to most professional team of real estate folks in the Tampa Bay area. Tony Baroni from Keller Williams is his name. From the first visit, when he stopped by our home to inspect it and let us know how the process worked, to the closing which only took 4 months from start to finish, Tony and his Team set us at ease and assured us that he would make the process as smooth as possible. Boy, did he! From the get go, Tony and his 1st class operation were the most professional people we have ever met. His daily check-in with either myself or my wife was an example of how "down to earth" Tony is. Some realtors just look at the finish line and focus on the commission. Not Tony! We looked forward to hearing the progress he had made, by keeping us in the loop. This was an amazing experience. The drone video of our home was awesome, too. Tony worked in concert with our bank and delivered a seamless offer on our house after just a few showings. The entire process only took 4 months from start to finish. We recommend Tony Baroni from Keller Williams in Brandon, FL to handle your short sale needs. His team of experts went the "extra mile" and for that we can't thank him enough. read more

We decided to put our house in Wesley Chapel, FL up for sale in August. I contacted Craig Kellner with Tony Baroni Keller Williams Realty. When I first met Craig, I knew I had made the right decision with listing with his team. Craig was amazing and so helpful throughout the daunting process of selling a home in Florida and moving to Colorado! The Toni Baroni Team was with me every step of the way, from helping to stage our home (the stager they use is terrific!) to the photographer they sent out (they took beautiful photos and created an incredible brochure!), to my inside contact, Ann Marie, to their most amazing coordinator, Cheri! They were always on hand to answer any questions I had and completely walked me through the whole process from listing to closing! And, I want to add that we listed our home on a Thursday, sign out front, and after 5 showings on Friday and Saturday, our house was sold! We never even had to have an open house! I am so impressed with this Tony Baroni team! It's scary having to move cross country, but this team really pulled out all the stops! I would highly recommend Craig Kellner and his amazing team for any real estate needs anyone may have. Craig is such a professional, as are all of his team. Many thanks to you guys for helping us recognize our dream move! read more

Three years ago, as a Florida born and raised native of Orlando, my husband's job had us sell our house and leave for parts unknown. For three years I planned and strategized every which way to come home thinking it would never happen; here we are three years later, coming home, and Kate and Amy have been such an intricate, and important, part of this final journey. Because I was still out of state while my husband was already transitioned, I had a one shot opportunity to see houses with Amy and my husband in a single weekend while visiting. Amy was amazing as we drug her from house to house. We found 3 houses we loved, Kate negotiated fiercely, only for us to be outbid on all the houses. We felt defeated, but they did not give up! Finally, on a fluke, we found a home, Kate built the offer, and bam! We had our forever home. From there Kate continued to be fierce and negotiate for every, single request we made. She was relentless. Part of me will be sad when we close because we won't get to interact with them everyday; that is HOW GOOD Amy and Kate were to us. I cannot began to put into words how grateful we are for this duo, and for their relentless efforts in bringing us "home". Thank you Amy and Kate for being a part of our journey and helping us "come home". Billy and Elizabeth Hooven read more

Eric Bogert was our realtor. What made this transaction of buying a home very unique and maybe even a little complicated was that we lived in Iowa and we were buying a retirement home in Florida. Our daughter and son-in-law would be renting it until we retire. This was a little stressful being we never did this before. The one thing we had going for us was that our children would be looking over the homes, sending us pictures and giving us their view before we came to the right decision. We started the process in April, 2016 and signed papers for our closing June 20, 2016. Almost two months to the date we had a perfect move-in-ready home! The home met our needs, it was the right price and in the area we were hoping for. I totally believe that success of finding and buying this home was because of the expertise of Eric Bogert. Besides being very personable, he was also very professional. He was always readily available to show the homes as we found them. He was very attentive in getting us the information we needed quickly and timely as homes were selling quickly. I really appreciated Eric's down to earthiness and because of that he helped to make the process simple and as stress free as possible. I would highly recommend using Eric if you need a realtor! read more

We need to thank Tony Baroni, Caitlin Jones and the whole Tony Baroni team: Kara Atchison and Cheri Meirose at Tony Baroni - Keller Williams Reality for their professional, courteous and successful efforts. They made the selling of our house in the River Watch subdivision and the purchase of our new house in the Water Leaf subdivision a cohesive process with little anguish (because of our unfamiliarity of the process) on our end. Once we signed on to sell our house, Tony scheduled a realtor's open house and our home appeared in multiple internet sites which resulted in multiple showings. The team kept us informed regarding the showings and the home sold in (about) 10 days. This put us in the predicament of: "we need a house to move into." Caitlin worked with us where we found a home in Water Leaf. They then provided appraisers, surveyors and title companies to choose from. To end this selling and purchasing project, they coordinated a closing on the home we were selling in the morning and a closing on the home we purchased in the afternoon of the same day. Thanks again Tony, Caitlin, Cheri and Kara for helping, coordinating and walking us through a nerve racking and unfamiliar process. Russ & Jan Estabrook, May 2, 2017 read more

Thanks to Chris Jossi and the Tony Baroni Team, my wife, Judi, and I found the perfect home. It wasn't easy in a Seller's Market where sellers are demanding and getting ridiculous sums of money for their homes, but Chris assured us that, if we were patient, the perfect home would find us. Because I work remotely, a location near where I work wasn't a factor. The Tampa Bay area and beyond was our wide-ranging focus. We dragged Chris up to Hernando in Citrus County...down to Bradenton in Manatee County. We looked at homes in Riverview, Zephyrhills, Plant City, Apollo Beach and Tampa. We made offers on three homes that we withdrew after inspections showed tens of thousands of dollars in needed work; we withdrew another offer after the owners would not allow us access to inspect the crawl space, and we lost out when we were outbid on a couple of homes. Through it all, Chris was the reassuring voice who told us the home we wanted and needed was out there. Finally, it happened. We found the perfect home, in the perfect neighborhood in Mulberry. None of the other homes we looked at would have made us as happy as this one. Chris not only helped us find our home. He helped us find our future. read more

Tony and his team did a great job with our house, both in the execution of the listing and the follow through and information as the process went through. I was very impressed with the collateral information they produced, from the Sales Sheet/flyer of the house, to the images they were able to get and most impressive was the video they were able to put together, not only of still images but also of the drone video that not only showed the images of the house from up top, but also of the community. Unfortunately, our personal situation changed early in the process and we had to switch from sale to rental and Tony and his team were able to pull a 180 and make the changes that we needed to make to execute the lease. We were able to find renters within a few weeks and Tony and his team walked me and the renters through the whole process. I am happy to say that of March 1st, we have the house rented to a great family that Tony was able to find for us. I have already committed to Tony that when our situation changes and we decide to sell, that Tony would be the guy we use. He is excellent at what he does and am very happy with what he did for us. Thanks TONY! Carlos Lopez read more

We are a Keller-Williams experience on both sides of the ball - as a seller and buyer. We were referred to the Toni Baroni team by our amazing agent, Ashley Crouch and incredible client experience director, Sandy MacLean. As we were connected with Kate Conroy @ Toni Baroni team in Tampa, we knew that this was going to be as good as our Forney Group experience in Indy. Kate was phenomenal over the phone. We flew to Tampa to meet face-to-face and were sold! Her unbelievable positivity, knowledge and forthrightness blew us away!!! We were SOLD. She stayed on top of things and although we were a virtual customer, she made us feel like there could be absolute trust and confidence. We were able to sell our house and get an accepted offer on our perfect new home with Kate diligence and Amy's support (all in less than 48hrs). She made herself available late nights/ weekends... We cannot say enough about them and the process. They are a turn-key agent from start to finish - with mortgage support from Kelly Burleson @ Keller Mortgage and Laurie MaGie setting up utilities at no charge. Again, Keller-Williams @ The Toni Baroni team are absolutely 5-stars!!!! read more

Villa Serena Property Sold! This review is simply to praise the performance of Craig Kellner and the listing manager (Louis) at the Keller Williams Tony Baroni team in riverview. We decided to sell our home in January and Craig and the Tony baroni team were recommended by my close associate and upheld their reputation. The house was essentially trashed after a tenant moved out of the residence, but Craig and team kept faith in my ability to get the place cleaned, repaired and ready for the market. From the beginning I felt comfort, minimal to no stress, and guided throughout the process. I can verify that Craig went as far as vacuuming my condo multiple times a week to get the job done and keep the new carpet looking sharp, due to my military career not allowing me to be in the area. Pretty impressive! Every interaction I had with Craig and Louis was direct, professional, and reassured me that I'm about to make some money! And that evidence under control...... and it was. I'm sure there are plenty of good realtors, but this guy (Craig)is the best.I got every penny I wanted and felt relaxed the entire time. Adam US Army Family read more

With a job transfer and a desire to downsize into a smaller home, we accessed the Tony Baroni Keller Williams Team for both the Listing of our local home and Purchase of our new home. Having just gone through this process five years ago, we purposefully chose to do the leg work on our own in order to get a better handle on what we desired in a home before visiting homes with a realtor. Once we had developed a list of home "must haves," homes to view was easy to narrow down and finding "our dream property" was a pleasant experience. This process was made even better by the expert assistance we accessed from Eric Bogert, TB KW team buyer specialist. Naturally being enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and efficient, Eric gave 110% time and energy to the home search and buying making it a very delightful process from start to finish. Marketing and preparing our other home for resale also went smoothly with the help of the Tony Baroni Keller Williams team. Cheri Meirose, the office manager, also assisted at different stages of the process keeping things destressed and moving in a positive direction. Thank you TB KW team! read more

Selling a home can be stressful, but having a home returned to you by renters before their lease is up AND in total shambles is almost unbearable. The fear of having 2 mortgages, 2 electric bills and 2 water bills quickly set in. After bringing the home back to all her glory and beauty we decided it was time to sell. Having previously worked in the mortgage industry for several years I knew exactly what realtor I wanted to list my home...Tony Baroni and Team. He skimped on nothing and thought of everything! From the drone produced video, the listing, to the flyers available at the home site. The best news; my fears quickly subsided when I received a call from Tony stating we had an offer on the house after being on the market for only 2 weeks. But he didn't stop there, you see, he went on to say another offer came in just hours later which started a bidding war. Long story short; the home sold for more than we listed it to sell. So would I use Tony Baroni and Team again? The real question...is there really anyone else? Thanks Baroni and Team. You made selling a home....well..... FUN :0) Best Regards, Jenifer B. read more
