Testimonials

“Kris is a phenomenal real estate agent with professionalism and competence in the real estate market. From the open houses to showings to contracts and closings, we felt confident that Kris’s had the ability to guide us every step of the way. I have gotten to know Kris well over the years, and she has turned into a wonderful friend! Kris is always professional and does her research on the current real estate market to give us the best outcome both in representing us as sellers and as buyers. Kris kept us well-informed and stayed responsive throughout the whole real estate transaction process. We couldn’t ask for a better real estate agent to work with.”

“Jack was wonderful to work with! He patiently showed us the unit in beautiful Bella Villino via Facetime, and he didn’t mind taking his time explaining every little detail that was of interest to us. When the time for inspection came, again, he took his time and showed us the completed work via Facetime. He also offered help once we decided to rent the unit out and he conducted a couple of showings! He was our eyes and ears throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a seamless purchase process by an amazing human being and conscientious professional!”

“I cannot recommend Kris Niehaus at Coldwell Banker Realty highly enough. I’ve known Kris for many years, and she helped me purchase my home in Sarasota seven years ago—an excellent experience then, and an even better one now. Her skill set, market knowledge, attention to detail, and understanding of the Sarasota area are exceptional. She was able to come to my home, quickly assess what needed to be done, and get my house market-ready and listed within a week. Her staging advice and photography were truly impressive and made a huge difference. Selling a home can be stressful, but Kris made the entire process feel easy and completely under control. I felt supported every step of the way. She would be an incredible asset to anyone buying or selling a home anywhere in Florida.”

My wife Laura and I recently closed on a property in Siesta Key, Florida. We were down in Florida months ago and were loosely looking for an investment property/winter condo with very little knowledge of where to begin looking. We started in Tampa and drove along the gulf coast to Naples. We stopped in several relator agencies along the way and inquired about various areas and markets. Along the way, we stumbled into the Caldwell Banker’s office in Siesta Key and had the pleasure of meeting Jack and Kris. They were very knowledgeable and helpful and provided us with a ton of information and market comps. We looked around the local areas and then continued on our journey down the coast to Naples. As you can imagine, there are many different market dynamics from Tampa to Naples and all parts in between. We made our way back to Siesta Key, largely because of Jack and Kris and their hospitality and customer focus. They were never “pushy” or overly aggressive. To the contrary, they were helpful, timely, and respectful to all of our questions and thoughts. They gave us many options that “fit” what we were looking for and took their time in helping us explore the right property that would meet our criteria.

We found our target property and began the rather long and difficult process of negotiations. I have purchased many properties in my life, both personal and business, but this particular transaction was fairly challenging for many reasons. With us living in Ohio and purchasing the property in Florida required a lot more work and effort from Jack and Kris. They went above and beyond in EVERY WAY, to help make this challenging process as easy as possible for us. They made multiple trips to the property on our behalf, walked through and followed up on multiple inspection issues and truly were our eyes and ears on the ground in our absence. I know many relators that simply would have refused to put the amount of time and effort into representing their clients. For this reason, I want to take the time to commend and applaud both Jack and Kris for their professionalism and persistence in this long process. They are tremendous assets to Caldwell Banker and individuals who you should be very thankful to have representing your company. Too often real estate transactions are viewed as just that, one and done transactions. This is not the case with Jack and Kris. They have become true resources and friends in the process. I hope you all would agree that they are the difference between being mere “agents” versus trusted partners and friends in the process.
