What do Clients Say?

Flawless. Kent is like no other realtor I've met or worked with. He pro-actively addresses issues and works exceptionally well with other realtors to move things along smoothly. Everything he does in the process is high quality. The pictures - professionally taken and edited, the staging was perfect, the listing was perfect, everything was perfect. I cannot recommend Kent enough.

It was my pleasure to have Kent handle the sale of my home in St Petersburg. Through other community activities I had the impression that he is a reliable and pleasant person to work with, which is true, but his knowledge of the market forces and expertise in presentation of the home brought far more response than I expected. He had my home under contract within 36 hours of the time he activated the listing! Throughout the process, Kent listened to my thoughts and preferences. He supported my goals for reaching the price point we wanted and was always thoughtful in his responses to my questions. Kent is the single best real estate professional I have worked with in purchases/sale of multiple homes over my lifetime. Highly recommend!

Kent helped us look for an investment property in St Pete starting last fall. We recently closed on a condo unit in mid June and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of this transaction. We began working with Kent last fall and he showed us dozens of places, all over St Pete. His knowledge of the market and research helped out narrow our choices to a few of the high rise condos in the downtown area. When we finally selected a property, we did it remotely because of our trust in Kent. The first time we entered the condo was the day before closing! It was as expected. He is the most thorough, knowledgeable and professional broker we have ever worked with. I would strongly recommend Kent for any of your real estate needs in the St Pete area.

Working with Kent to sell and buy my home has been seamless. Not only did he find me EXACTLY what I was looking for, he sold my other home within a couple of days. His negotiation tactics were smart and fair, while his communication has been flawless. He has handled my sensitive situation (divorce) with professionalism, care and class. I cannot recommend him enough.

Kent Rodahaver was my choice as the Realtor I wanted to handle the sale of my home. I interviewed two other Realtors before making my selection, and honestly, from the minute we sat down to talk, Kent gave me his undivided attention, focused immediately on the factors that were of major importance to me and what I wanted to accomplish. He came prepared with a very impressive view of the particular market in my neighborhood and the immediate area. I trusted Kent completely. His ethics are impeccable, and he is a man of his word - a true professional. The amazing part of my experience with Kent is that he was always available to answer any questions or discuss any concerns I might have. My home was sold for the exact price I wanted and everything was accomplished seamlessly by signing with Kent! Not only that - he is a very nice man!
