Customer Reviews

This is the second home we've purchased with Kristy! She also sold our previous home. Kristy knows her stuff!! She is extremely knowledgeable of this market. Her Team is as impressive as she is. I would not hesitate to  recommend Kristy to anyone.

Kristy helped us sell our home in 5 days for our asking price! 10 showings in 5 days.  What more could you ask from a realtor? If you want to sell your home quickly, contact Kristy.  She knows the business better than anyone.

Kristy Darragh is a complete professional and her follow through is impeccable.  Kristy surrounds herself with excellent knowledgable associates so we were well cared for throughout the process.   Brandy even exchanged messages on our behalf on Christmas Day!    Pleading personalities, superior   knowledge and a caring attitude.  We couldn't have asked more.    Thank you Kristy, Brandy and Margot for a wonderful experience.

We interviewed five recommended agents. All gave good presentations, but Kristy's presentation and knowledge far exceeded the others. In our first meeting, she had every sales statistic for the last twelve months that pertained to our immediate neighborhood, area of the city, and county. She also   showed us every current listing and compared them to ours. Using all of the stats, our numerous home improvements and outstanding view, she guided us through the process of setting a listing price. The exercise helped us work through the emotional attachment we held for our much cared for home and choose a listing price based on facts. We had previously listed our home at a higher price with very few showings and no offers. With Kristy, we had 40 plus showings in approximately seven weeks, several offers, and sold at 97% of our asking price. Our closing was problem-free and our selling fees came in within $10.00 of the costs Kristy had calculated in our first meeting. One last word about Kristy's style: Because of her long and vast experience, she has encountered nearly every home sale glitch that might occur and is able to anticipate and prevent issues that less experienced agents could. In our first meeting, she spotted some things that could complicate our sale (none of the other agents noted the possible problems) and suggested ways to handle them. Kristy is extremely calm, helped us respond to offers in a logical, non-emotional way, has a good sense of humor, and is extraordinarily professional. Our buyer's agent also told us that Kristy is one of the most knowledgable and professional agents she has worked with. In addition, Kristy has a well trained staff to respond to the many details of listing and showing a home. Kristy Darragh has our highest recommendation.

FIVE STARS!!! Kristy sold our home in less than 3 weeks and found our new home in 1 day! She is an expert real estate professional that provides turn-key service ... on day one, she came with a complete market analysis for our neighborhood and surrounding area, provided solid insight on home sale  preparation and established selling price. When our home went on the market, she held an open house the first and second weekend and drew a high volume of perspective buyers ... by the third week, we had two offers and a contract ... home sold! She found our new home on the first day of looking ... exactly what we wanted! Kristy gets your home advertised ... professional photographer took over 40 pictures, produced beautiful 12 inch X 12 inch brochures and advertised on all internet real estate sites ... her homes sell fast because she actively markets! Kristy and her team are available and responsive 24/7 ... there is no better realtor than Kristy ... there's a reason she's NUMBER 1! If you want to sell your home fast while demanding the value it's worth, better call Kristy!

Kristy impressed us with her preparedness, knowledge and professionalism.  We sold our home in record time, for a record amount.  Amazing for this market.  We highly recommend Kristy.

Kristy and her team were amazing from start to finish. Her local expertise and professional knowledge were key reasons why I chose her. Her advise was extremely relevant and helped to maximize the outcome. I valued her hands on guidance and advice and she made herself available throughout the entire process. This was not my first home sale, but do feel as though I also gained new knowledge that will help in my future transactions. I highly recommend her and was impressed with the professionalism, candor and marketing from initiation to post closing support. A pleasant and financially positive experience.

Kristy knows the market she serves well.  She arrived at our first meeting with an excellent analysis of comparable homes sold in our area.  She is responsive to requests and she is motivated.  Fortunately, our home sold in only one day.  Everything from that point was handled efficiently and   professionally by Kristy and her support staff.

Kristy sold our home in Hunter's Green, Osprey Pointe area in one day. She assisted us in the proper staging of our home and gave us very helpful information in getting it ready for the market. She was fantastic!!!

Kristy and her entire team were extremely helpful. Kristy’s extensive knowledge of the New Tampa market and her excellent guidance on what updates to make ( and as importantly not make) allowed us to sell very fast and for a very fair price. I strongly recommend working with Kristy if you want  clear guidance and results.

Kristy was our listing agent when we sold our home in Tampa.  She is professional, thorough and highly skilled in negotiations.   She made the selling process simple and effortless, allowing us to focus on getting relocated without worries.  We highly recommend her if your searching for and agent   for either selling or buying in the Tampa area.

Best realtor in the area and couldn't recommend anyone higher.   Kristy is the most ethical, honest, hardworking, and knowledgeable real estate agent we have encountered.  I would highly recommend Kristy to anyone selling or buying a house.

Kristy Darragh by far is one of the top and best Realtor. She is very energetic, transparent and passionate about her professional real estate business. She went above and beyond in getting our home listed with active contract for sale in less than 3 days. Her expertise and knowledge on what it takes to get your home sold is amazing. Her team was also very knowledgeable, curious and professional. Our home selling experience was a breeze with her. I absolutely recommend Kristy Darragh and her team to buy or sell your home. Thanks, Pamella Brim

We cannot overstate how appreciative we are of the exceptional support Kristy and her team provided as we sold our home in Tampa.  From the beginning Kristy patiently provided her insight, guidance, and expertise every step of the way so that we understood what to expect and so that we could make   informed decisions.  We had answers to every question within minutes and we knew those answers were given gladly.  Kristy and her team could not have been friendlier or more engaging.  Frankly our home was on the lower end of the scale from Kristy's norm.  But never once did we feel as though we were any less important than her million-dollar clients.  We were treated with the utmost respect and kindness which made the stressful process of home selling much easier to take.  We would recommend Kristy Darragh without hesitation to anyone in need of an outstanding realtor.

One day. She sold our home in ONE day! A good friend of ours highly recommended her services based on their past experience so we jumped on it. It was a blessing from start to finish. Kristy helped us understand the inner workings of real estate and how it's evaluated. Her moral compass is   unquestionably sound - important to us because we've known some who worked otherwise. An experienced strategist with a critical eye - she made valuable suggestions on how to best show our home. It's clear to us why she is rated the Top Realtor in Tampa. It was a joy to pay her the commission she earned. We just wish we could use her again in South Carolina.

Recently my wife and I decided to relocate from Tampa to Texas, in order to live nearer to some of our family. We met with Kristy and discussed how we we would market our Tampa house and were blown away by the extensive research she provided on the Tampa Palms market (recent and historical sales, current listings, number of homes on the market, etc..). While most of this info was what one should expect from a Realtor, Kristy went beyond what was expected by providing in depth knowledge on particular attributes and insights of the market and comparable properties that went beyond the expected and added real value to our decision making process. This was particularly so with respect to exactly how and when we would go to market, and included a step by step strategy for maximizing value. The results speak for themselves. We decided to list the home three days before Christmas at a price much higher than we originally expected (based on Kristy’s research that there were very few homes for sale in our market area and that buyer demand was high). We sold our home in 2 days for full price, and for call cash, with limited contingencies. I should add that a major factor contributing to our success was Kristy’s team. Unlike other real estate agents, Kristy has a team supporting her that allows her customers to be served at a level unmatched. The service level was “above and beyond” consistently (even when Kristy was out of the country around the Xmas holidays). As a couple, we have bought and sold more than 15 homes in our lives. This selling experience was the best we have ever received from a residential Realtor. Thank you, Kristy Darraugh and team!

Kristy and her team were amazing. She helped me identify items in my home to improve before putting it on the market and had referrals for all the items found on home inspection to get everything completed quickly. Her photographer is top notch, made my house look stunning. Due to her team's diligence I got over 20 offers within 48 hours of listing my home!

Kristy and her assistant were wonderful to do business with!  They were always quick to get back to us and answer any questions and more importantly they sold our home quickly and for a price that we wanted!  I would highly recommend Kristy for your real estate needs.

KristyD and her team are knowledgeable,professional and they are always there for you. Kristy is very honest and help you all the way. I’m very thankful to have had her as my realtor.

We have completed four home transactions with Kristy Darragh and her team now.  Both purchases and selling homes.  Prior to these deals we had worked with other realtors therefore we are knowledgeable and experienced in the process.                        Without a doubt the Darragh team is the best around.  In   particular, you can reach Ms Darragh or her team, they listen and find solutions to any issues that arise, professional in every way, watch out for their customers best interest, and deliver on their commitments.                       We would be happy to share our experiences with others if asked and are grateful to have found such friendly, kind, and considerate realtor.

I can't begin to express how grateful we are to Kristy and her staff for all of their hard work and expertise!  If it weren't for them we would not be our beautiful new home right now! Their knowledge of real-estate and so much more, so many connections, helped us to sell our home at a decent price   in the time we had allotted.  They were ALWAYS available to help and answer questions.  I would HIGHLY recommend Kristy and her staff to anyone in need of a highly qualified, extremely skilled agent who really delivers in a crunch!

Ms. Kristy Darragh was very professional from the start to finish of the home selling process.  She found a "fast buyer" for our home immediately.  She answered all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner. She was available throughout the entire experience.  She is calm, energetic,   punctual, and knowledgeable.  I would absolutely recommend Kristy as your real estate professional.

When my wife’s elderly parents asked us to help them sell their house in Tampa Palms, we called Kristy Darragh and we are so glad that we did. Not having sold a house previously, we quickly came to appreciate Kristy’s meticulous process and continuous communication from the first meeting through closing. Kristy came to the first meeting equipped with bound research on my in-laws’ home, our neighborhood, and the greater New Tampa market. She explained in detail her support for a recommended listing price and her strategy for brining the home to market. She helped us ready the home for listing and virtually staged it with up to date furnishings. Once the home was listed, we quickly had multiple offers as expected and this is where Kristy’s knowledge and experience really came to the fore. Kristy explained the nuanced differences between the offers and helped us select the one that had the highest probability of closing and closing quickly. We accepted the offer that we felt was the best fit and was contingent only on a satisfactory inspection. When the prospective buyer’s inspector produced a report that ran nearly 100 pages, Kristy and her team kicked into high gear. Kristy quickly had a tradesman engaged to address every issue – from a handyman to an electrician, plumber, painter, and even someone that specialized in water intrusion. Each item was promptly mitigated and closing occurred right on schedule. I would not hesitate to recommend Kristy Darragh to anyone looking to sell their home.

Kristy has represented us professionally, unflichingly and honestly.  She has been there every step of the way offering us knowledge, support and assistance.  Since we were out of town sellers, she helped us oversee maintenance and repairs on the house and even recruited her husband for help.             She   was a master negotiator and pointed out the legalities of the sale and presented us with choices highlighting our advantages proving she represented us totally as sellers.            Her responses were always immediate and sharp and her expertise was apparent every step of the way.  She was always on top of every detail.            Her knowledge of the market is comprehensive and up-to-date as she makes every effort to be informed and collegiate.  I will definitely refer  my friends to Kristy.

Kristy is very experienced. She prepared all the data at our first meeting. She communicated with us frequently. She is very thoughtful, it is a sweet lady.  We are very happy with her.

Kristy and her assistant Brandy were a pleasure to work with during the process of selling my home. They were both easy to get a hold of if I had any questions and concerns. Kristy also did a great job with my listing and choosing pictures that would best showcase my home.

Kristy's knowledge of the market and her expertise was instrumental in selling our home near asking price. She and her assistant, Brandy, were VERY pleasant to work with, always available to address any questions we had, and made the whole experience easy for us.       When we moved to New Tampa over 17 years ago, I saw that Kristy Darragh sold many homes in the area. I knew then that if we ever decided to sell, she was the realtor to do it and she did. Thanks to Kristy Darragh and her team at Florida Executive Realty!

Kristy Darragh is the best thing that can happen to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home period!  Her insite and understanding of the real estate/mortgage markets within this area is second to none.  Our experience was just great. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Heck, the visual tour   she commissioned drew people so fast for showings we had a buyer in two weeks. This was all done while competing in the worst real estate market in the past 40 years. It was just amazing. Again, this seller would highly recommend Kristy Darragh. 

Kristy was a pleasure to work with.  She us very professional and knows the area well. She kept us in the loop through the entire process which was made more difficult due to foreign currency involvement. She had our best interests from the beginning. She set a fair price for our home and never once suggested that we lower it. We would highly recommend Kristy. She is our idea of a perfect realtor.

Kristy was great which is why she's the best around. Her team was amazing and so helpful whenever we needed them! Sold our home in only 2 weeks! Wouldn't use anyone other than her!

Kristy is the only realtor any person who is buying or selling a home in the Tampa area should choose.  She has helped us purchase two homes and has helped us sell two homes over the last 14 years.  She is honest and very connected to her clients needs.

A lot has changed related to marketing and selling a home compared to when we last did this without a relocation process being involved. Kristy explained everything to us, and NEVER ONCE made us feel that the many questions we asked up front and along the way were bothersome. She and her team  helped with a few unconventional requests (such as turning the home alarm on or off when we were unavailable). It was a great pleasure working with Kristy and her team, and we are absolutely convinced that her expertise and knowledge helped bring the deal to completion. Believe all the good that you read about Kristy!

My experience with Kristy Darragh and her staff was as absolutely wonderful. Once Kristy goes to work, it is obvious that she has been in the real estate business for many many years. I was a bit intimidated going into selling a home because is seems like such a daunting task, but Kristy made it  easy with the online documents that are easy to sign, and she walks you through EVERYTHING very patiently and kindly. I learned so much about real estate through Kristy Darragh that I feel I could actually become an agent... of course that would be crazy because there is so much more about the business I'm sure I don't know, but no worries.... Kristy does! Can't go wrong with Kristy Darragh. And she has a great sense of humor too!

Kristy is the best. She had my house sold in 3 days after it had been listed with another realtor, for three months. Her team is the best. If you need your house sold her team is the one you want to use.

Kristy and her team are very professional. They provided us with great services in the sale of our house recently. I highly recommend Kristy and her team.

Kristy and her team are amazing. I have now sold two homes with this team and both experiences have been smooth and seamless. From the onset, the professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. Kristy provides a thorough analysis of homes on the market, which helps one understand pricing of your home. She provides feedback on home staging, provides professional connections if anything needs fixing after an inspection report, explains the entire process and what to expect, and is in constant communication. Kristy and her team are spectacular in every way. There are now three guarantees in life; death, taxes, and Kristy selling your home for a fair price. I know she also rocks finding you a perfect place to live.

We interviewed a few realtors before choosing Kristy to sell our house. We chose Kristy because she saw the value in our house, and believed in her abilities that she could sell it for the value we were trying to get for the home. Our house was unique, and Kristy understood that, as well as the type of family she needed to market to in order to make the sale.

Choosing Kristy as our listing agent is a wise decision. We started our research among the top listing agents in Tampa area. We found Kristy the most selling listing agent in Tampa Palms, where our home locates. After talking to several agents (including Kristy), she is the one who knows our community best. And also, she showed her confidence in selling our house with professional analysis. We got multiple offers on the first day, all of the offers are strong. Although, we never met, it's a long distance cooperation, we are very pleased with Kristy and her team's work. I would say thank you to her and definitely recommend her to our neighbors and friends!!!

Kristy worked to get a record price for our home. Her knowledge of appraisals and real estate was just right! She guided us through each step and tirelessly showed us homes until we found the right one for our family! She is honest and hard working.

Kristy knows the market well.  She did a great job marketing our house.  We had 21 showings and 3 offers in less than 30 days.  We got top dollar amount for our community. Kristy was also excellent representing us in buying our new home.  She knew exactly what to show us and helped to   close the deal. We highly recommend Kristy Darragh!  She is knoweldgible, honest and reliable.

Kristy, Jace and the rest of the team were simply superb. Could not have asked for a more professional team. Minute by minute they were on top of every detail and their response to questions was extremely impressive. Would I recommend Kristy and her team? In a NY minute

KRISTY Darragh and her staff made selling our house an easy and enjoyable experience .. she was very experienced and was very familiar with the market .. she did a wonderful job marketing our house.. we would highly recommend KRISTY Darragh to everyone! Ann & Jim Johnson

Kristy did an outstanding job selling my mom's house! She gave us excellent advice concerning asking price and she was a master negotiator. Her virtual staging of the house attracted immediate interest from multiple buyers and we were able to close on the sale within two months after the initial  listing. Thank you Kristy, Amanda and the rest of your team!!! We are forever grateful.

Kristy was a real pro from the very start of our selling process.  She was fully prepared for our initial consultation and it was obvious we needed to select her as our listing agent. Kristy provided outstanding advice regarding home showing preparation.  Once listed, she and her professional staff   kept us fully informed.  The home sold quickly and Kristy guided us though the rest of the process without encountering any problems. If you want a real pro in the Tampa Palms/New Tampa area, choose Kristy.  You will not be disappointed!

Kristy Darragh and the entire team at Florida Executive Realty were the best.  They were extremely professional and hard working.  The communications was excellent and I was guided and kept posted every step of the way.  It took them only hours, not days or weeks, to sell my house.  I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Kristy and her assistant, Brandy, are amazing! I had not moved in more than 12 years and was feeling lost about the whole process. Kristy came to our first meeting totally prepared with comps and tons of information about our home, the neighborhood, and the market. I knew then that I had found the right person to help us. It was clear that Kristy knew exactly how to price our house. We had 19 showings in 2 days and had 4 offers, just the first two days we were on the market. Our house sold quickly and easily because of Kristy and her extensive knowledge and attention to detail. Many of our friends have chosen other realtors and have had a terrible time trying to sell their home. I would recommend Kristy every time!

Kristy Darragh is an amazing realtor to work with. We have worked with her on numerous transactions over the last 11 years. She sold our house in 2 days which she negotiated a full price offer. She is efficient and knowledgeable with the whole process. She will advise you on what you need do to stage your house and sell it quickly! She answered any question or concerns quickly throughout the process. Her team is amazing as well. She truly gives A+ service.
