I had the opportunity to work as the sellers agent in a transaction with Lauren Krawczyk and Alicia Warburton, and they were amazing. They both were truly first class professionals, and I was grateful to be involved with them. Their communication was always quick and courteous, they handled things fast, and even helped during the transaction when our family went through a tough time. They are highly recommended.

We hired a realtor Gene Zemel to sell our house through Douglas Elliman. He showed huge incompetence throughout the process, starting from suggesting an undervalued price after running comps. Then delaying listing for two months, and then acting as dual agent tried to scam us for $16k by hiring an attorney behind our back but "on our behalf" and tried to get a contract going at a price $16k below what he told us. When confronted, he just cancelled the sale and told the buyer we are not going with them.Additionally, he and his family also rents the property we are selling, and when after numerous requests and struggles, Douglas Elliman finally terminated our contract on our request. Initially to get local exposure he offered to sell our house and waive his commissions, but the story quickly changed when we found the buyer. He now refuses to let anyone inside the house for showings, emotions gave away and he is doing as much dirt as possible. Just a horrible person who is yet to find out what karma is. We have a buyer who showed negative Covid-19 test results, he now refuses to let anyone in until his lease expires.I would stay away from this company, and Gene Zemel in general due to his shady practice.He should have his realtors license revoked.After reading some reviews for Douglas Elliman, I see that this is their norm. Most if not all their realtors act like they are above all, must be some criteria to be hired.

We hired Gene Zemel at Douglas Elliman to sell our house, he showed poor ethics by lying to us about a buyer without agent, while he was a dual agent. He drafted a deal sheet with a buyer at $16k below listed price while we had a fee over asking offers. And later sent it to an attorney we never hired, attorney he has worked with on previous deals. This raised unqestionable concerns and we fought to terminate the contract with him and his firm.Gene also rents the property we hired him to sell, he wanted local exposure and offered to list it for free, which he then refused to i dicate in contract, another reason to terminate. Now that we posted the house for sale by owners, he refuses to let prospective buyers enter his dwelling, which is illegal and is outlined in our lease agreement with him.He now blackmails us, offering to let us sell our house to one of HIS buyers, which he is willing to let inside the property. We are now pulling the property from the market and pursuing legal action against this person.I think he deserves to loose his RE license and face eviction at the very least.

Christine Carvin went above and beyond to help my husband and I purchase our beach condo. Could not more highly recommend a realtor - she will go the extra mile and I appreciated how she was super transparent and real with us.

I have been working with my realtor for nearly a year now and still no house. Fortunately my partner and I are not in a rush. We get to be super selective, because of this. I cannot begin to tell you (the internet) how grateful I am to have a realtor who is OKAY with this. And supportive of this. Christine is such an incredible soul. She is constantly sending us new things that pop up and will go the extra mile to call or text when something really interesting surfaces. She has held our hearts during heartbreak, and has made us laugh when we feel defeated. The house shopping process is brutal. A great realtor and real estate team makes such a difference.

I wish we could give TEN STARS!! From start to finish, our experience with STRICKLAND PROPERTY GROUP was just amazing, over the top, THE BEST one could ever expect from a realty experience. Whether Buying or Selling, the professionalism through every part of the process with Bonnie and her entire group could not have been better. Our agent, LAUREN KRAWCZYK, never ceased to astound us with her positive energy and expert recommendations throughout our sale. Her quick response to any questions or concerns we may have had and her personal attention to showings and other services provided made us feel confident and secure along the way. Selling one's home can for sure be a bittersweet experience but STRICKLAND soothes the soul with their knowledge, excellent communication and outstanding Online presentation of the home you so Love. Top Notch in every way!!!

We used Keri Thigpen and Bonnie Strickland to sell our home in the Venetian Isles area of St. Petersburg, and they were outstanding.
Our decision to choose them centered around who we thought would be the best choice based on the investment of time and effort they put into selling the property and how they promote their listings. Strickland Property Group stood out as the best Tampa Bay has to offer, and they did not disappoint.
Keri and Bonnie are consummate professionals who go the extra mile in absolutely every way. Keri stayed in communication almost daily with updates from every showing, open house, and inspection. They both handled any challenges that arose with professionalism, grace, and most important…solutions!
We not only sold our home quickly because of their skill, experience, and tenacity, but also gained two new friends throughout the process. I recommend Strickland Property Group to everyone I know.

Our entire experience in working with the Strickland Group was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Jim DiMartino who was our principle contact was a total professional. An effective communicator and excellent at dealing with changing schedules and priorities as necessary. He knows how to get the job done. Thanks Jim.

I recently worked with Keri Thigpen of The Strickland Property Group in real estate. Truly a positive experience overall. Keri was very thorough and professional while still truly caring about what my current situation involved and what my needs were because of that. She went above and beyond to help me every step of the way and she became a friend as well as my real estate agent. The most impressive thing to me was how Keri would track down an answer to my question and report back to me so promptly. She was incredibly attentive to details and communication was excellent. We found the perfect place the first day because she listened to my needs and wants and she narrowed down my choices expertly. She worked very well with the sellers agent and very professionally but personally got the job done. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend and use Strickland Property Group and Keri Thigpen again if the need should ever arise.

During our initial visit to Saint Petersburg we had the pleasure to meet Bonnie Strickland and Keri Thigpen of the Strickland Property Group, both of whom spent a considerable amount of time to getting to know my wife and I and our long list of needs without ever pressuring us to use their services. They immediately stood out as having the best market knowledge and a most professional and personable approach to our search.
After considering many properties and meeting many brokers to the point of exhaustion, we came to rely on Bonnie. Her team put together a deal that let us eventually visit the house of our dreams, just hours before our return flight to Virginia.
Their subsequent work in getting the house quickly under contract and managing the stringent due diligence moved the deal forward very quickly while pushing every obstacle aside until closing. Even after closing Keri helped us in every way to help us adjust to our new life in Saint Petersburg, with assistance for everything we needed to make a smooth transition into our new life in this area. I highly recommend the Strickland Property Group to anyone looking for a home in the Saint Petersburg area.
