Our experience with Jamie was superb from beginning to end! She was always so responsive to our needs getting back with us immediately when we had questions or needed her to set up appointments for us. She was always early for every appointment, arriving before us. Jamie showed us many homes, wrote-up offers for us, set up inspections and other appointments once we settled on a home that was perfect for us. We've lived in 7 different homes so we are familiar with the process and have worked with other realtors. Jamie is absolutely the best!

There’s nothing worse than trying to contact a realtor that doesn’t return calls or texts. I have referred Derek numerous times and the feedback has been phenomenal! All my clients have been very pleased with there experience and wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future. I highly recommend Derek he goes above and beyond to make his clients happy! Hard to find these days with a market like this. If your looking for a realtor that works for you, look no further, Derek is your guy!

Jamie Gibbons has been a pleasure to work with since day one. I started out calling her because of a property we were intrested in and she was the listing realtor, come to find out it was a cash-only house, which was not in our budget. She openly asked if she could help us find the right house. I told her we have very strict criteria for our house/property we are looking for, which definitely limits what's available to us. I gave her exactly what we were looking for and within 1 day she already came up with some wonderful options. One of which was the house we now own! We jumped on it quick, because it was exactly what we were looking for, in our price range with the options we wanted. Mind you, we've also been looking at the market for the last several months, a couple have caught our eye, but not like this one. She walked us through step by step, anytime I had a question she was available to answer. If she didn't know the answer to any of my questions, she would find them out for me. She was very responsive to emails, texts and phone calls, meaning she would get back to me within less than an hour most times. Jamie Gibbons made the whole process from start to finish very smooth, it couldn't have gone any better. If we were to ever buy another home again in her area, I would definitely choose her again. And I would highly recommend Jamie Gibbons to anyone else looking to buy a home in Pasco County, FL or any surrounding areas that she may also work. Amazing lady to work with and someone you can trust!

Kristy Thurber has done an outstanding job in the home selling process. She was able to negotiate all of the obstacles and make the deal happen! She was always available, even through the global pandemic of COVID 19. Also, not only were her negotiation skills astounding, but her knowledge of the market, communication, patience, and honesty exceeded what I expected. I would highly recommend Kristy Thurber to anyone, no matter the situation! This Realtor will make it happen!

My sister lives in CO and I live in WI so we asked realtor friends to help us find someone in FL to help sell our Dad’s home. Neither of our friends knew each other or knew Kristy but both independently recommended her as outlet best option in the Tampa area. We met her and instantly knew they were right! Living out of state, we relied on Kristy to determine what improvements were needed or helpful to sell the house, find reliable contractors, and follow up on any issues. She kept us informed every step of the way and was always quick to respond to any question or issue we brought to her. Kristy is also masterful in negotiating and always kept our best interests in mind and gave great advice to us when we didn’t know which offer was beat or how the process worked in FL. We could not have been happier with Kristy. She is knowledgeable, positive, honest, reliable, welcoming, and professional. You will love her too!

We were paired up with Jamie through a broker...and couldn't have been more pleased. She was wonderful to work with, was always responsive, no matter time of day or how menial my questions may have been. She stood by us as we dealt with a lender that left a lot to be desired and never stopped supporting us along the way. Our closing date was changed multiple times, because of the lender, which caused much stress on us. She was always asking what she could do for us, to help ease our frustrations. She was at the closing table with us and has still kept in touch to make sure all is ok. I will recommend Jamie...and if I ever decided to move again, she will be my go to gal!!

My agent Jamie Gibbons went over and beyond in helping our family search for our perfect home. She stayed in constant contact, was always professional & responded to our questions same day. Anytime I needed information from the seller for insurance quotes, flood certificate, etc...she was on it!! She stayed in constant contact with my mortgage broker which helped cut down on alot of unnecessary phone calls to him. She knows what she is doing and cared about our best interests. I most definitely will tell my friends & family she deserves their business. She gave nothing less than 5 star service to my family!!! Thank you Jamie Gibbons for all your help and we wish you much success! The Mercedes Family

My fiancé and I closed on our first home day and Jamie was our realtor. We truly enjoyed the entire home buying process with her and appreciated her thoughtfulness, kindness, and professionalism! We will recommend Jamie to anyone we come across from now on who is looking to buy a home or sell their home. Thank you Jamie for everything. We loved having you as our realtor! 🏠❤️

I highly recommend Jamie! She helped us buy our dream home on a lake and made the entire process a smooth one. Jamie's first-hand knowledge of the area, coupled with her professionalism, ensured prompt, accurate answers to all our questions. She handled all negotiations, even the very tough ones, on our behalf and we were pleased with the outcome each time. Jamie is not afraid to ask the hard questions or propose out of the box solutions to challenges. She is truly a voice for her clients! Matt & Kim Gulino

I admit(and you can verify with my husband) i am a very needy person. I also need to know EVERY detail of everything i am doing. Lucky enough, i had a very patient realtor/friend. Jamie was the best!! She was always there to answer any question i had (and i had some very "out there" questions) without hesitation, with patience, and with clarity. Jamie knew her locations and if she didn't, she would not hesitate to do some research for you. She only showed me houses that were on my "want" list and even helped me realize that with our budget, i can get what i need and want with a little wiggle room. Jamie has been looking and answering my questions for the almost 2 years we were planning our move from Oklahoma to Florida. I have to tell you, that is NOT an easy task to do, for Jamie or my husband and I!! Just shows you how fearless and amazing Jamie is at what she obviously loves to do, and that is make dreams come true!! She does not disappoint and if you need someone to help buy your 1st home, your 2nd, or even your 5th, trust Jamie, she will take good care of you & negotiate her butt off!!

We bought several houses and hands down, RE/MAX CHAMPIONS is the best real estate company I’ve ever used. They know every inch of the Trinity area and housing marketplace.

Kristy is so much more than just a real estate agent. She very quickly established trust with us, which is not easy to do from half-way across the country. There was no question to big or too small and her incredibly quick responses to any question or issue made a big move much easier. I'm positive that Kristy helped me with things that are absolutely not her job. You will not be disappointed with Kristy as a trusted advisor for your move.

Our experience with Jamie was the best. She has the sales experience, internet knowhow and market expertise that made our experience stress free. We particularly enjoyed the timely and clear communication about market conditions and the status of our particular sale. It's hard to imagine a performance that could exceed hers. We highly recommend her!

We met Jamie at an open house, and automatically we knew she should be our realtor. She’s sweet, professional, and not pushy like other agents can be. She was able to work around our schedule to show us homes and helped us find our dream home. She sent homes through a really great online portal as well. Her and the lender worked hard to make it happen for us. Definitely work with Jamie!

We worked with Kristy to put our house on rent. She took care of everything starting from taking the pictures to the house, putting the ad to showing the property to interested parties. We were able to find a wonderful tenant for the rent we were looking for within one week. She worked with us through every step starting from the background check to complete all the paperwork and other formalities till the tenants moved in. We were doing it for the first time but the process was really smooth thanks to Kristy. We would highly recommend Kristy to anyone looking to put their house for rent.

We feel fortunate that we were able to sell our home and make the transition just as the COVID was coming on. There were so many decisions to be made. It was a stressful period for us. We do believe we were guided from above. Katie, you were a big factor. Holding open houses five weekends in a row and finding us a buyer. Total effort on your part. Thank you!!! Your advice was helpful in the process. We are grateful that it was you who popped out of your meeting at the office on our initial meeting. Wishing you the best in your future.

Great experience with Jamie, she helped us from home selection through closing. Jamie helped us navigate the markets in the Tampa, St Petersburg and then Bradenton areas. She was in constant contact and helped refine our search criteria to find the perfect home for us. This was really important as we were long distance shopping from Pennsylvania. Once we found our dream home and made an offer Jamie was able to provide a smooth and easy closing experience. We highly recommend Jamie to all of our friends and family.

Derek is such a dedicated and helpful person. He will strive to exceed your expectations and get you the dream home you’ve always wanted. He listens to his clients needs and wants and will do his best to meet them. He is not just a realtor, he wants to become a friend you can trust. When you meet him you will see his true honest personality and you will just automatically connect with him like I did. I highly recommend him to be the guy who seeks the home you deserve. Thank you for being YOU Derek 😃

Our house sold in less than 60 days with Kristy. She was available via text, email, and phone call. She kept us updated on each potential buyer's feedback, which I loved to have. She also recommended an apartment complex, which we love, while our new house is being built.

Jamie is the whole package. From the very beginning to THE VERY END, she was there with a smile on her face and a level of ambition that is rarely seen these days. She got me set up online so I could see what was available and did a phenomenal job setting up the very detailed search criteria I was needing. When I felt confident that I would be able to find what I was looking for, I told her I wanted to proceed with the sale of my house. She was NEVER pushy for me to list my house prematurely as previous agents were. She jumped into action. With her advice and direction, the house was prepared for pictures and in a few days it was on the market. My home sold for 5k MORE THAN LISTED FOR and was under contract in LESS THAN A WEEK. Fortunately she found the new property I was looking for within a couple of weeks. The day the property went back on the market she was out there with me that same evening showing me everything. With Jamie behind the wheel with negotiations and contract demands, I got my dream 4 ACRES for 15K LESS THAN IT WAS LISTED FOR! This girl is a ROCK STAR in the real estate world. Trust me! Look no further! This is your agent, negotiator, guidance counselor, and friend in what could be an extremely trying and stressful time of your life. THANK YOU JAMIE!
