Kent Rodahaver

  • Kent listed and sold my home

      Kent was able to help me prepare, deep-clean, and stage my St Petersburg, FL home. The time from our initial meeting to the actual listing was less than a month. Due to his thorough preparation and amazing marketing, we were under contract in 6 days! Kent did a GREAT JOB! I am now loving my home in Boiling Springs, SC.

    • Kent listed and sold my home

        We met Kent a number of years ago, and we were not quite ready to sell. His courteous and professional manner stuck with us. Fast forward to this past month, and we called Kent, to help sell our house. He knows this market like the back of his hand. They took beautiful pictures of our house along with a very descriptive write up of the house. It sold the first day listed. Kent stuck with us throughout the inspection process until close. I would recommend him to everyone and would definitely use him again. He is a ten out of ten. Alex

      • Kent helped me buy a home

          Kent was super easy to work with and very knowledgeable. I would recommend working with him to anyone!

        • Kent listed and sold my home

            We have chosen Kent to represent us for two properties now. He is THE BEST Realtor we have ever used! He works tirelessly for his clients. We highly recommend him!

          • Kent listed and sold my home

              There are not enough "positive" words in the dictionary to describe Kent Rodahaver. He is professional, positive, attentive, engaging and the best! Kent always answered my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I strongly encourage anyone interested in selling or buying to check with Kent and his NextHome team! Thank you for the opportunity to express my gratitude. He went above and beyond the necessary

            • Kent listed and sold my home

                Kent is awesome! He really took the time to make us feel important and valued our opinions. Kent made our home feel special and took the time necessary to make our listing stand out amongst the best. I will for sure use him again if given the opportunity.

              • Kent listed and sold my home

                  Kent was extremely professional throughout the selling process. He often went well above and beyond what a "standard" Realtor would do (from my experience) - from the professional videography, to a standalone website for my home, to supplying a few pieces of staging furniture at no extra cost, to very personal offers of assistance while I was living away while the house was listed, such as collecting my mail and forwarding it, taking care of a few maintenance issue, and even offering to mow my grass, when my lawn company went AWOL! I definitely recommend Kent for any of your real estate needs. I would use him again for any future selling or buying needs.

                • Kent listed and sold my home

                    Kent is amazing!! He sold our home on day one and got us above asking price. Can’t ask for more than that! He is an expert at marketing and utilizes social media for maximum visibility. The videos he put out for virtual walkthrough were highly professional and fun. At the other end of the spectrum he represented us in finding our new home and negotiated a great deal at a great price. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Kent is the ultimate professional.

                  • Kent listed and sold my home

                      GREAT experience! I am a first time home seller and couldn't have asked for an easier transaction, in fact it went so smooth that Kent will have the listing of a second home of ours. Kent is the BEST Realtor you can ask for, no hesitation, hire him!

                    • Kent listed and sold my home

                        We could not have been more happy with Kent! Choosing him as our Realtor made our home buying process so easy. His experience and knowledge not only as a Realtor, but in the construction field and as a long-time St. Petersburg resident, proved invaluable. He did such a great job helping us buy a new house, we are now using him to sell our two houses.

                      • Kent was fantastic. From the initial meeting, he was honest, direct, professional, yet friendly, which made it easy to have serious conversations and develop a trusting relationship. He took all of pressure off and immediately let us feel at ease, talking us through every step. I also worked with Kent on a new home at the same time. He negotiated and navigated flawlessly through both deals. I would work with Kent anytime

                        - Jessica Scott - Seller & Buyer
                      • Kent has been exemplary in helping us find and purchase the perfect condo as our "Next Home" and now to sell our existing house.For a number of years we had been unsuccessfully searching for a condo that we would be willing to move to and give up living in and enjoying our current comfortable house.Kent's reputation as an outstanding real estate professional led us to choose him to help us in our search. He began with a house appraisal. He then skillfully sought to understand what we were looking for in a condo. This allowed him to set his property search engine to target our desires. As new condo listings of potential interest showed up, Kent immediately let us know. For those we wanted to see, Kent quickly arranged for showings. Each showing allowed Kent to close in even more clearly on what was and what wasn't acceptable to us.After patiently searching in this manner for about ten months, a condo listing of strong interest to us came on the market. We saw the condo right away and liked it. Immediately, Kent cleverly strategized our offer to the sellers, which was accepted at under asking price. After the home inspection, Kent was able to have the sellers make two significant repairs. Closing on the condo went smoothly on the original contract date.As we move into selling our house, Kent is being flexible, responsive, and most helpful to our needs. We have every confidence that his efforts will allow us to obtain maximum value for our house.You will be well-served to have Kent Rodahaver help you with your "Next Home."

                      • Kent is an expert on the St. Pete housing market! He and his team made the process of selling our home and buying a new home feel seamless. He advised us on preparing our house for listing, and we had an offer after just six days on the market. Our new home was also one of his listings, and we could not be happier.
