Customer Reviews

We had previously listed our house with another agent for months with no offers.  We had an great offer within weeks of listing with Kristy.  She did an excellent job marketing our house.  Before we went on the market she had over 20 realtors come through our house and give us advice on what could   be changed.  We made some minor improvements based on Kristy's advice and I think that made a world of difference. 

Our expierence with Kristy was extremely easy and she is a master in her field. She sold our home in 2019 in under a day! Not only did we sell our home with her, she also completed the transaction for the purchase of our new home.

Kristy and her associates went above and beyond knowing the specifics of our unique home. Their professionalism and outstanding service would be welcomed by any buyer and/or seller.

KRISTY IS "ON THE BALL". WHEN SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO GET YOUR HOUSE SOLD, SHE MEANS IT! MY MOM'S HOME SOLD IN TWO DAYS! ANY TIME WE HAD A QUESTION, IT WAS ANSWERED QUICKLY AND THE ADVICE WAS TRUTHFUL AND ON SPOT.WHEN YOU SIGN WITH KRISTY DARRAGH, STEP BACK AND LET HER SELL YOUR HOME!

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.

Kristy and her team sold two houses for me this past year. They work well together , are readily available, and make the process tolerable. I’m grateful for Kristy’s marketing savvy and acute awareness of this hot housing market.

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.

very efficient and timely, a good feeling with Mike and Kristy.I thought they kept me informed about the transaction and updated on a timely basis

Kristy listed and sold our home very quickly. She was very knowledgeable about the area. I most appreciated that if I was unable to reach her due to her being at another appointment her assistant very quickly called us back with the answers to any questions we had.  We were happy to do business with Kristy.

Kristy and her team were amazing!!. Sold home quickly. Very smooth process from initial meeting to closing. Kristy is a great communicator with a wealth of knowledge and many years of experience.

Kristy is a true PROFESSIONAL!  She had the best ideas on how to set up and stage our home so it presented like new!  I highly recommend her to sell your home!

Kristy Darragh is honest and very dependable when selling a home. Her knowledge through the entire process was superb. My husband and I have sold several houses over the years and this by far has been the best experience with Kristy as our realtor. Highly Recommend !!!!

Kristy was instrumental in the selling of our house. From the beginning she impressed us with her knowledge of the market and what we needed to do attract buyers. The house was a challenge to market because of its size, condition and location. Large house in nice neighborhood that was in need of a   lot of renovation. She handled the negotiations with a couple of potential buyers, one of which was very difficult to deal with. We were able to attract a buyer that made us a fair offer and handled all of the contract details through closing. Kristy always responded to my calls and emails promptly. Kristy is a skilled real estate agent and we highly recommend her.

Working with Kristy and her awesome team was a dream! From the moment we contacted her it was 'all hands on deck' to get things going. Communication with Kristy and the team was very smooth. Her resources and contacts got our house noticed right away and sold in no time. Florida Executive Realty is truly a class act!

Buying or selling a home in the New Tampa area? Save yourself some time and trouble, just start with the best agent in town -- Kristy Darragh. We wish we had started our home-buying journey with Kristy, but instead wasted time trying to work with several other agents who were unresponsive,   unavailable, and uninterested. Kristy, on the other hand, couldn’t have been more responsive, interested, and on top of the marke. We had a good idea of what we were looking for and Kristy immediately went to work for us, getting us set up with email alerts whenever a house meeting our criteria came on the market. At the time we were looking for a home, low inventory made it a very competitive market, so getting speedy notifications on potential homes was invaluable. When the ideal home became available, Kristy acted fast, getting us in to see the house immediately. Working with Kristy was a joy. She is professional, personable, knowledgeable, and responsive. She really cared about our needs and worked hard to help us get the house we wanted.

Awesome agent. Had a full price buyer within a couple hours of listing.  Photos, service, staff, and everything else was perfect  You can't do better.

I highly recommend Kristy. Selling my house felt like an enormous undertaking.  Kristy and her team helped me tie up loose ends I struggled to take care of on my own with my busy schedule. I felt I was not shouldering all of this on my own. I can't thank them enough. I felt Kristy's great reputation also helped make my home more attractive. Many details converged to make the sale of my home quick and painless. You can not put a price tag on that sort of peace of mind.  Thank you all!

I never write reviews but Kristy earned our 5 star review. From start to finish, we had the easiest home sale imaginable. She came prepared with extensive research for our first meeting and provided invaluable staging advice. She is at the top of her game … powerful, confident, a master  negotiator, knowledgeable and backed by a dedicated team that delivered services beyond anything that I had imagined. She is available 24/7 and can handle any issue that arises. She could teach a master class on real estate sales. We ended up with 8 offers in the first 5 days and sold our home in record time. We are overjoyed and cannot recommend her enough. Bravo !!

Kristy is a very dynamic professional.  She is extremely detail oriented and gets the job done quickly.  When you list your property with her, be ready to move fast -- she hits the ground running.  We enjoyed our experience with her and have highly recommended her to anyone who is planning to buy   or sell property.  She knows her business!

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.replyReplymore_vert

Kristy and her daughter Megan were amazing to work with on the sale of our house. They know the market; are very thorough and pay attention to all details large and small.

My wife and I have employed Kristy to sell our last two homes in Hunter's Green. Kristy is professional, thorough, courteous, and and a pleasure to work with. Kristy makes the stressful process of selling a home manageable and so much easier. She pays attention to detail from the initial meeting  through final walk-thru, closing and post-closing. In our opinion, Kristy is THE REALTOR for any residential property in New Tampa. We highly recommend Kristy to anyone buying or selling a home.

Kristy is one of the best real estate agent in Tampa. She is very knowlegeable with a lot of experience especially in new Tampa. My experience with kristy and her staff was so great. She absolutely great. I would highly recommend her if you are interested to sell your house smoothly.

We chose Kristy because when we saw her For Sale signs go up in the neighborhood, a SOLD sign followed very quickly.  We felt that she definitely had the expertise in the Tampa Palms area to sell our home quickly and for the best price in the downturned market.  We would definitely recommend her to   our neighbors.

This was a very hard deal. Kristy stayed on top of all the details and kept me informed every step of the way. She is very nice and easy to communicate with. She took care of many issues when I wasn't around.

We had moved and were living out of state when we listed our home with Kristy.  She did a great job of keeping us informed and confident that we were dealing with a professional  sales team who knew what needed to be done to sell our home.  She was a pleasure to work with!

Kristy is a consummate professional and I would highly recommend her if you are considering selling your home! She and her superb team are attentive to all details both big & small, are always available to answer questions and to provide guidance throughout the entire process.

Selecting Kristy as our Realtor was the best decision we made. Kristy sold our house in a record time for top price. She knows the area best, very professional and thorough. She walked us through the process and we had the best smooth selling experience. It was a pleasure working with her, Jace and Toni. They always were on top of the process and kept us updated in timely manner - we never had to follow-up with them. We highly recommend them - if you ever need a Realtor look no further than Kristy and her Team. Thank you Kristy, Jace and Toni for all your help - much appreciated. Vandana and Arvind Shelkar

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.

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.

Kristy is extremely knowledgeable of New Tampa market, highly respected, excellent communicator, very intelligent, a strong presence but always very charming, clearly loves her work, responds to all questions clearly and directly, provides constant updates, and she has an excellent assistant.

Kristy and her team are the most knowledgeable and professional in Tampa. She knows the market, the strategy to use and sincerely cares about you. Kristy walks you through every step in the process and stays in constant touch with you. There is no better when it comes to selling your house. Kristy   is genuine. You will not find a more warm or caring person then Kristy. She is absolutely, the best. Period.

Kristy and her team could not have been more helpful. Selling can be a difficult process in so many ways and they were ready with support and information all along the way. We had an excellent experience!

Kristy is a terrific agent. She is extremely knowledgeable about the New Tampa area. She was available, responded to all our emails, our calls and was there any time we needed her to answer any questions. She's a great human being. She cares for her clients beyond the real estate deal. I have enjoyed working with Kristy and her associates.

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 is experienced, competent, responsive and friendly. She handled our sale, and sold the home for cash in only 4 days on the MLS!  She also handled our purchase, and helped tremendously by narrowing the prospects to find exactly what we needed.  She was always available and walked us through the process. As good as her reputation is, she is even better!!

Kristy Darragh is the best realtor ever!! She was our realtor for a house we sold in 2018 and one we recently sold on June 1st. Kristy found us a lovely house to buy for the price we wanted to pay. Kristy is an honest person, knowledgeable about everything regarding real estate and makes you feel like you are part of her family. We recommend Kristy to everyone looking to buy or sale a house. Kristy, Thank you!!!!

Kristy originally found a builder to build our house for us when we first moved to Tampa six years ago. In January of this year she sold the same house when we moved because of a job change. She is extremely knowledgeable about the New Tampa area, great at negotiating, and easy to work with. She listened to our concerns, thought of creative ways to market our home, and was always available to answer our questions. She made closing easy since we were out of town and unable to be present. Her professionalism was evident each step of the way from listing our home through to closing. We highly recommend her and appreciate all the hard work she did.

I cannot say enough good things about Kristy. This was my first time selling a home and she walked me through each process every step of the way. She provided realistic expectations from the start and thanks to her team's large network my home was under contract in no time. I was selling from out   of state and I had peace of mind knowing that if anything came up they were able to help get it taken care with no impact to my schedule.

Kristin kept us informed as to the status of our property and the competition property in out area.  She gave us expert advice on pricing and property appearance.  She found us the buyer with the best bet of closing on time and with financing in hand.  She knows the Tampa Palms area very well and   the history of recent sales.  She is well connected and can expedite the transaction.

Kristy has the knowledge, skills and an amazing support staff. They took care of everything associated to selling the house. Kristy was always available to discuss market changes and answer all questions. I highly recommend her!

We have chosen her representing us as list agent. She showed us a deep understanding the local housing market and expertise handling the customers with well prepared all the time.

Kristy and her team can be summed up in one word--amazing.  From her initial appointment when she described what to value our home at to the day we closed, she made the selling of our house stress free.  Kristy marketed our home so well that we had a full-price and above full-price offer on the   very first day it appeared on the market.  Within three days we had a fully executed contract, selling the home as at a purchase price $9,000 over what we were asking.  Since the home was selling at a record price per square foot, Kristy showed her brilliance when she met with the appraiser.  Based on her extensive research, the appraisal came in a few hundred dollars over the contract price.  At every point of the transaction, Kristy and her team was responsive and supportive.  Kristy is undoubtedly the best realtor I have ever worked with and I would unconditionally recommend her to be your New Tampa realtor.

Kristy's passion for what she does is incomparable.  She is not only an expert in all of the technical aspects of real estate selling and buying, but she also excels in the art of negotiation and communication.  These skills result from years of experience and natural-born ability.  It is rare to   find a professional who masters all aspects of such a complicated business.

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.

Kristy and Megan have been perfect during the entire transaction. Professional in their advice and during the negotiation. I would recommend them without a doubt.

Kristy was 100% professional and knowledgeable to the level of expert in all aspects of this transaction. I have to admit it was pleasantly surprising to find someone who is really good at their chosen profession and equally enjoyable just to talk to. I never had to worry whether she was going to   get back to me because she responded to phone calls and emails promptly every single time. There was no detail too minor for her to keep track of and still she also had the big picture in focus throughout the entire process. She treated me like I was her only client. On a personal note, I suspected that when I met her for the first time, her picture would be wildly out of date as is often the case, but she is even better looking than her picture suggests - and yet funny, warm and friendly to deal with. I have no doubt she could easily leverage her well-earned reputation and create a behemoth organization that would make her tons, but that would also distance her from her clients - which is probably why she hasn't done so. Selling real estate can get complicated, even overwhelming, and having Kristy navigate all the unforeseen obstacles (E.G. Inspectors who thought a door or window wasn't hanging "just so" and HOAs who thought the sidewalk and gutters needed pressure washing:  the day before closing) was like having an electric security blanket. Five stars is not enough.

Kristy exceeded our expectations in every way! From our first impression we knew that she was a consummate professional that we could trust.  Not only did she sell the house within a week, but the entire process was smooth from beginning to end.  In addition to Kristy, we worked closely with Brandy   and Amanda.  They were both wonderful! They held our hands throughout the process and were always available when we had a question or concern.  I would recommend Kristy to anyone interested in selling their home.  Realtors like Kristy are a rare find and we feel very lucky we found her!

Kristy and her team made our long distance purchase a pleasure.  She is professional, knowledgeable, and honest.  We really felt taken care of during the entire process. It was comforting to know that we had people who were diligently looking out for our best interest.  We cannot adequately express   our appreciation for the quality of service that we received during our purchase.  Kristy responded immediately to questions and worked efficiently to accomplish our goals.  The agency is top-notch in every respect.
