Fred Strickroot

    • Fred is the best Real Estate Professional that I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure working with him. He also gave us a one year Home Warranty worth $600, with the deal. This is almost unheard of these days. I will certainly use him again in the future and would recommend him above all others.

    • Fred is great! He was on the ball from the first day. Set up search agents, followed up, revised searches, made recommendations made himself available when it was convenient to us. I would highly recommend Fred to anyone in search of their new home. Rebecca L

    • I have used Fred's real estate service since I moved to Pasco County. I called him from Alaska to find me a place to rent. Not only did he find me an excellent home for a reasonable price put he put the deposit down for me and filled the applications out for me over the phone. Whenever I had difficulty getting something fixed in the house, Fred would go to bat for me and get the problem fixed. When my family outgrew that home, I called Fred, and he went to work finding me another house, sent the moving letter with a request for return of deposit. I was able to move gradually with the least amount of discomfort because of Fred's determination to serve me as a client. About two months before my second lease was to expire, I called Fred to let him know I was not happy in the house. Fred immediately went to work looking for a new home for me and negociate with my landlord to accept my deposit as my last months rent, so I would have enough money to pay my deposit in my next home. Again, Fred came through with a wonderful home with reasonable rent. I truely appriciate Fred's dedication to his clients and I am in the Third beautiful home. I am contemplating negociating my third lease or purchasing a home in the area. Of course I have called Fred for his advice and help. As a single woman with 5 children, I know I could never have been able to secure these wonderful home without the expert advice and support of Fred Strickroot. For me, Fred has taken the stressful process of finding a rental, securing a lease and ensuring a landlord maintains the property satisfactorily and turned it into a comfortable smooth transition.

    • I moved to Florida from upstate New York in 2011 on my own; a 23-year-old completely new to the foreign world of real estate and home-ownership. Even though I was looking at homes in the lowest of price ranges (between $25,000-$35,000 list price) and wouldn't have been considered worth the time or effort by most real estate agents or brokers, Fred gave me a prompt and immensely helpful response with exactly the advice I needed to begin looking at homes and eventually find the perfect one. He led me through every single step of the process with the utmost dedication, and treated me as if I was buying a million dollar home. Even though he had nothing to gain from such a small and insignificant sale, he spent so much time with me, showing me homes and answering my questions, making me feel like a welcome Floridian. He gave me special attention, made me feel important, returned every phone call and addressed every concern I had. I was so comfortable working with him, and frankly I feel BLESSED to have had such a selfless and accommodating (not to mention professional) man working tirelessly on my behalf, to find me a wonderful first home. My search and purchase concluded seamlessly and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world after he helped make my dream come true. I would recommend Fred to anyone of any age and any class, with any level of experience in buying property. He has been such an asset -- absolutely invaluable -- and I owe such a huge chunk of my happiness and success here in Florida to him. Anyone who would speak ill of him or give a bad review has clearly never done legitimate business with him, because he's been a godsend to me. Truly one-in-a-million. THANK YOU, FRED!!! - Christina H.

    • We were from out of state, and Fred handled finding us our house. Was prompt, professional, and worked tirelessly. The agent who was selling our home out of state was a lazy disaster-we had to call her to find out results of showings to get feedback. Thank god Fred was the opposite. Everything went smoothly down here. Would highly recommend.

    • Fred and his assistant worked very diligently in our search for a new home. Highly recommend this generous kind man. If we are in the market for another home we will work with him again!

    • We met with a few realtors. Then I met Fred and I knew I wanted to work with HIM- right away. He is on top of everything real estate, very knowledgable. I couldn't of asked for a better realtor, really. Fred contacted me right away from an inquiry on zillow. He worked with me diligently until I found my house. The homes he would suggest were always homes only to my specific criteria I requested. Fred made everything easy and really guided me through the whole process. I really liked him as a person and you would be lucky to have him as your realtor too!

    • We chose Fred from an online review. We were looking for property on the gulf side of Florida but had no idea what or where we really wanted to buy. We live in Michigan and plan to retire in Florida. When I spoke to Fred we were going to start looking at homes in the Hudson, New Port Richie area and then travel down the coastal area to Fort Myers. It was going to be a long weekend of seeing as many properties as we could. To our astonishment, Fred traveled with us the entire time constantly finding new properties for us to view. We never felt rushed or pressured in any way. Finally after seeing about 30 properties we decided on one, but we were outbid at the last minute. We traveled to Florida again. It had to be over Fathers Day weekend because of my husbands work schedule. Again, Fred made us feel like we were the only people in the world and he was completely devoted to us finding a house. This time we selected a list of homes and Fred gave us great advice. Ultimately, we chose a home in Cape Coral. Even though it was hours away from Freds office at the time, you wouldnt have know it. He was always there and always available. We closed in just over a month on a foreclosure but not before Fred recommending documents we needed before our loan officers realized we needed them. He also constantly followed up on things that needed to get done so that they never became a problem. Even a few weeks after we closed Fred informed us about a hurricane and offered to assist. Incredible !Thank you Fred ! You are truly a Blessing. You made us feel like we were your only clients and you have the patience of a saint. Your service is exceptional.

    • Fred has been great to work with. Not being from Florida, I needed someone who had expertise in working with investment properties. Fred was able to scout out some great investment opportunities for me as well as arrange professional contractors for repairs. Fred is very responsive to emails, texts and phone calls, and knowledgeable about the local market.

    • I had the pleasure of having Fred represent me on a recent purchase I made of a home in Florida. I can honestly say that without Fred in my corner, I would not have been able to do it. I live in Canada and everything I did required Fred to be my personal representative. He made phone calls to the Condominium Corporations to ask questions on my behalf, he attended at the properties and took "real" photographs for me to look at. When I found a place that I was interested in purchasing, he not only walked me through the paperwork, but lined up a list of pros for me to choose for the necessary inspections and he followed up with those pros to be sure that once I'd hired them, the necessary reports were done on a timely basis. He offered insights into neighbourhoods that I was interested in and gave me details of the types of shops, parks, and entertainment that was available. He worked night and day and never missed answering a single email on a timely basis. He worked well beyond what would be considered reasonable and all for a very small pay off for him because the place I finally settled on was less than $50,000.00. I highly recommend Fred - especially if you are not familiar with Florida properties and all applicable laws for a real estate transaction.

    • Fred helped me to find a beautiful home that I love very much. I am on a very tight budget so it was important that I found a home that was within my price range, Fred did not waste my time taking me to homes that I could not afford. Fred was on time to all appointments, and he returned emails and phone calls promptly. I was impressed with how much Fred knew about the area and how he was quick to point out when there were any issues with a home he showed to me and tell me what the repair cost would run. When I settled on a home to purchase, Fred was excellent in negotiations and was there for the inspections and saw the transaction through to a smooth closing. Fred helped me find my home for life, and I definitely recommend Fred to anybody who wants a trustworthy, dependable, and experienced real estate broker.

    • My husband and I were first time home buyers. We had no idea where to start and thought the process of buying a home would take forever. Fred simplified the entire process, did all of the work, and got us into our first/current home within 60 days. He was always prompt and available when we needed him and always put our wishes and requests first. If we decided to move again or purchase another home, Fred will be our go to guy.

    • I've been working with Fred for the past 2 and a half years and have purchased 4, renovated, then sold 3 homes in the Port Richey area. Fred has always communicated promptly and has been willing to meet and show properties at almost any hour. You can count on Fred to provide expert advise even when it might not be what you wanted to hear. The bottom line for me is Fred: Calls back on time, Shows up on time, and Knows what he's talking about.

    • The sale of my home 1129 Persimmon Drive was the second time I interacted with Fred Strickroot and once again his performance exceeded my expectations!! Having been in real estate many years ago, I am very familiar with the ups and downs. I must state without reservation...If you need the services of a real estate agent, a true professional who can be trusted implicitly...this is the agent you want. He will be a guide looking out for your best interests. I cannot thank him enough for the awesome job he did, working with all the people involved, after the sale I enlisted his help to purchase another home 2044 Arbuckle. Again, his guidance through all the steps is just impeccable.

    • Fred went out of his way to make sure everything went accordingly. We came over from Orlando to look at a house. Fred took the time to find out our needs. He set up numerous homes for us to look at so we did not have to make additional trips. We were able to conduct business over the phone and Internet. He went out and of his way to take care of everything that needed to be done at the house for closing. It was a joy to work with him.

    • Fred was our agent for the purchase of a condo in Hudson Florida. We contacted Fred ahead of our visit to Hudson giving him our price range and condo minimum requirements. Fred met us in Hudson with a list of properties and we toured the condos in one day. Because of Fred's screening process we were able to find exactly what we were looking for and made an offer on a property the next day which was accepted.

    • Fred was absolutely amazing to work with! He tolerated us and our ignorance of the process as first time home buyers! He stuck it out when we were indecisive and needy, reassured us when we were frustrated and ready to give up! He was always quick to respond, timely, and all around amazing! We now have the home of our dreams and none of that would have been possible without Fred! We will recommend Fred to everyone!!

    • Fred Strickroot is a true professional in his field. He was most tolerant in showing me homes and then when I found MY home, Fred knew exactly what to do from the offer until the signing. Without his help, I feel certain that I would not have this beautiful home now. Fred is an excellent Realtor. I have already recommended him to friends.
