What more can be said about this group, they are a consummate group of professionals. They work hard together and never seemed to miss a beat in helping me get my house sold. Between making suggestions that would help to make the house more marketable and responding quickly to any questions we may have had. They were always upbeat about everything during the trying times of selling a house in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stacy was spot on with the estimated sales price I should ask for. She is very personable and friendly as well as the rest of the group. All the work they put in resulted in our house selling within a few days of it being placed on the market at asking price. I highly recommend this group to anyone trying to sell or buy a house. Great work. Anne and Mark

Renee Cofone of the Kitchell Group was then best. She kept me informed through the whole buying process. Any question I had she answered professionally or got the answer from the correct person. The rest of the group in the buying process were great also. I was out of state during most of the process they made it so easy and worry free.

So glad we could help ease your stress. :-) That's our goal - along with making sure you have all the info you need to make a confident, educated home choice. Out-of-state purchases tough but they are our specialty! Let us know if you need anything else from contractors to updated values/market snapshots for refinancing, dropping PMI, etc. We are happy to help in any way. You are family now. Enjoy your new home! - Stacy Kitchell

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means so much to all of us at the Kitchell Group. You and your husband were such a pleasure to work with. Yes - 4 offers and an incredible price - and with very little work to prepare your home, too! I hope homeowners see this and are encouraged to call me for a tour/advice. FYI - your neighbors were very happy with your sale price, too! And it helped with a second home that I was planning to list in the neighborhood shortly after. Thank you for the opportunity and for your business. We hope life overseas is treating you well and that your new dream home is serving you well in your retirement. All the best, - Stacy Kitchell

I was looking for a good real estate agent to sell my house. I googled a lot, but it was such a mixed bag and hard to tell what was legitimate. I've used Angie's List to review lots of contractors for work on my house, but I had never thought of looking on Angie's List for a real estate agent. I was logged in and happened to look at their categories of service providers and noticed real estate agents. So I looked through the different agents and the Stacy Kitchell Group came out as the top rated agent on the list. I had another name off that list as well, so I did further review elsewhere and all I saw were rave reviews about Stacy's group. So I called her up, talked to Anita and said I'm ready to sell. She took some information from me, put me in touch with Stacy, and between the two of them they started to put together a plan. Once we put the house on the market, I had an offer in less than 2 weeks. It took a bit of back and forth negotiating, inspections, and such, but Stacy and Anita made the process run smoothly. I hope I never have to sell a house again, but if I do, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Great team!

This was our FIFTH time using the Kitchell Group for a real estate transaction. This time, Stacy helped us sell our home in the Bexley community for nearly $20K more than what we paid for it just a year and a half earlier. Mind you, this was in a new home community with active building still occurring. We've seen homes sit on the market for months in Bexley, but ours was under contract in FOUR DAYS. Stacy was an incredible support during a trying selling process with an inexperienced buyer agent, a nitpicky inspector, unreliable contractors, and paranoid buyers, but we got through it! :-) Renee once again helped us on the buyer side, this time with finding a rental home. At this point, we've used them so much that Stacy, Renee, and Anita are like family to us. I've said this before: I would never use another real estate agent in the Tampa Bay area. The results with the Kitchell Group are wonderful every single time.

Renee made my first home buying experience very easy and enjoyable! She is very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods in Tampa and surrounding areas. She was also very thorough with the homes she showed me and about things l needed to consider. She always had very quick responses to any questions I had as well. I highly recommend Renee if you are looking to buy a new home!

I was referred to Renne Cofone by another satisfied customer. Renee was extremely helpful during my buying process and very detailed. She was also very patient as I was house hunting and even provided other great recommendations for other services such as financing, home warranties, pest control, home inspectors, locksmith and more. Every single one of The Kitchell's Group recommended service providers were also great to work with and priced right! The Kitchell Group has been wonderful and helped me land the perfect little home of my dreams!

If ratings could be any higher, Stacy Kitchell and her team would have earned them in all categories. My husband and I were "wowed" in every step of the home-selling process with the advice and guidance we were given by the Kitchell Group. They made a daunting task less intimidating by their thorough knowledge and ease with the entire process. Their professionalism and competence were key factors in having our house sell in four days for the asking price. We were especially impressed by their speedy responsiveness to questions, emails and phone calls. Their keen attention to details and familiarity with all aspects of the real estate market and moving process helped to facilitate a smooth transaction. We recommend Stacy Kitchell and her team without hesitation, as evidenced by the fact that she is now representing our daughter with her real estate needs,

I had used Stacy & her team in the past so I decided to reach out again & I couldn't be more pleased with that choice & the result. Stacy, Renee & Anita were always attentive, helpful & you can tell they're passionate about helping their clients. No question went unanswered & a 30 day close went by without any worries on my part because I knew they were on top of it. It can be hard to find a realtor that meshes with your personality, but this team is the real deal & always puts the client first.

Renee was recommended to us from a coworker that also relocated out of state. She was very helpful from the beginning over the phone. We only had one month to find a house and relocate from Ohio to Florida. She was able to give us several options and within a week she dedicated an entire weekend to show us houses. With her help as well as Anita we were able to close on our house within 30 days!! I would use her again if we ever decide to move and would recommend her to anyone looking to move!

Thank you for your nice review! Always a pleasure to help a military member. You were such a great selling partner. Your great attention to detail and the way that you maintained your home helped so much. Plus assisting me with gathering important details about your home that would help me support your value when meeting with the appraiser. This was KEY in obtaining one of the HIGHEST prices in Countryway in 2018, especially since the contract price was higher than almost all recent sales. Congratulations! I will be in touch soon with supporting data and my thoughts on the addition you are considering for your [Member Information Removed] home. Thank you so much for your military service and congratulations, again.

Thank you so much for your kind review. You are a walking ray of sunshine and I am reminded of that regularly as I look at the gifts in my kitchen that you gave to me at closing. :-) I am so happy that we could negotiate the buyer paying $11,000 over appraised value. Wow! That's a record for us. The closest we had accomplished was $7,500, so congratulations! Your home was beautiful and the Hillsborough River area is growing quickly, which is one of the reasons we pushed for that - and the buyer was happy, to boot. I'm glad it worked out, especially with you navigating it all from Spain via WhatsApp and Email. :-) Thank goodness you are so organized and responsive! Anita and I will not forget your invitation to visit you in Spain. Beware... we may actually take you up on it! :-) All the BEST!

In order to purchase our dream home out of state, we needed to sell our home quickly and for a great price. We headed straight for the professionals. Stacy Kitchell and her team at The Kitchell Group know their business. Stacy came to our initial meeting with very helpful information and explained her friendly and professional team’s process in a way that proved REAL real estate expertise. Great advice on staging, fabulous photographs, strategic marketing vision, attention to detail, and the team’s timely, goal-oriented action made for a winning combination. We had an open house the first weekend on the market and received MULTIPLE FULL-PRICE offers on our house within DAYS of listing! Actually, our sale price per sq. ft. was the highest $ per sq. ft. of any home in the history of our neighborhood! Thank you, thank you, thank you Stacy, Anita, and Renee! I highly recommend teaming up with The Kitchell Group for all your real estate needs.

We told them the exact location we wanted to live in and sent homes when we saw them online. Renee set up showings within days and was very honest throughout the process. She was extremely helpful. We would highly recommend this team!

Thank you so much for your review! :-) It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate your brother for referring us to work with another family member. Virginia Park is such a great area of South Tampa and now you will be close to your family. Being a first time home buyer, I know the inspection process was a little daunting, especially when you are purchasing a home that was built in 1957. After some tough negotiating with the relocation company and extensive documentation from the home inspector, we were able to have the seller provide a credit and repair the A/C unit. After that it was smooth sailing. Thanks for putting your trust in us for your first large purchase and I cannot wait to see what you do with the home!

However, working with Renee and the Kitchell Group set our minds at ease. They worked with us through each step of the process and made us fee like we knew what we were doing. We would highly recommend this team for your home buying needs!

This was our fourth time working with the Kitchell Group. We would never do a real estate transaction with anyone else. The results speak for themselves. Our home in Calusa Trace was under contract FOUR DAYS after hitting the market. Two buyers got into a bidding war, resulting in a sale price $5,000 ABOVE our initial list price. On the buying side, Renee helped us find the perfect new house for us in Bexley, negotiated special financing, a lower sale price, and numerous extras. Stacy, Renee, and Anita are like members of our family. We feel like we've been through so much with them, because we have. They are just plain awesome, and we can't say enough good things about them!

This is the second home purchase working with the Kitchell Group, and they deliver every time! I worked with Renee Cofone primarily, however this group is truly a team. From Stacy to Renee to Anita- WOW! I wouldn't go with any other team. Renee brings professionalism and always is looking out for my best interest short and long term. If it wasn't for Renee and her negotiation skills I wouldn't of landed this home, or even my previous purchased home (which was a multi-family home). Thank so much!

It was so great working with you again! This was a tough transaction as we were in a multiple offer situation (ugh) which took some skilled negotiating to make it happen. Homes in the Gulfport area sell extremely quickly and you found a GEM. We knew there were going to be a few inspection issues, considering the home was built in 1951. Sure enough, there were electrical issues... Fortunately, we had a great relationship with the listing agent and we were able to work out the specifics and resolve the electrical issues at the seller'[Member Information Removed] expense while still closing on time. So glad!! I cannot wait to see what improvements you make to the property. We truly appreciate you putting your trust in us again. Please remember that we are here -- even after your purchase -- to help you with recommended contractors, providing an updated value for removal of PMI, future financing, etc., or to provide feedback on any improvements that you are considering so that you can feel more comfortable about investing in the improvements. All the best!!! :-)

The Kitchell group is an amazing team. From the selling of our townhouse with Stacy it was a breeze to finding and building our new home with Renee as our agent. They both were available day or night whenever there was a question they never hesitated to answer. The team works together to really meet the needs of their customers. We had a few bumps along the way with the new home but with Renee we had absolutely nothing to worry about because she took care of everything. I definitely see us using the Kitchell group in the future when we are ready to purchase our next home.

Thank you so much for your super nice review, guys! It was a pleasure to work with you again! :-) We know you are going to love living in Carriage Pointe in Gibsonton. It is a short commute to Tampa and St Pete and look at the money you saved! Yes, working with this builder had its challenges (wrong lighting package installed and pavers were not the same color as the ones chosen at the design center), but I'm glad Renee was able to work through those issues by having the builder providing closing costs to you and you were able to close on time with a beautiful home (yay!). These are just SOME of the reasons that we emphasize to prospective clients that, with new construction, it is SO IMPORTANT to have a knowledgeable agent on your side that does NOT work for the builder. We have a lot of stories just like this from other new construction homes we've closed. Building a new home is stressful enough, without having to deal with issues like these. I cannot thank you enough for allowing us to represent you in your purchase. We are here if you need ANYTHING. Just call, text or Email. :-)

We got two offers in three weeks and Stacy created a bidding war that increased the sale price of my house by $10,000. Stacy followed through with all the paperwork, so all I had to worry about was driving to the bank with a big fat check! Honestly, Stacy treated me more like a friend than a client. She was great. I've already recommended her three times!

Thank you so much for your awesome review! I was also psyched that we beat your recent private appraisal 2 months earlier by $12,500! It pretty much paid for your commission on both sides, making our services essentially free. That's always the goal for me - beating the market and saving my clients money. And -- it couldn't have happened to nicer people, too. I really enjoyed working with you. And - thank you so much for your referrals. You know we'll take good care of them :-)
