Customer Reviews

Kristy provided invaluable expertise of the local housing market, and has exceptional negotiating skills and understanding of the many issues involved within real estate transactions. We were totally pleased with her service when we sold our home recently in Tampa, FL. Her knowledge of the local   market helped us to price the home correctly, and we had 3 offers within a matter of only several days! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a capable real estate professional.

If you want to sell a home in New Tampa, Kristy is the right realtor.  We sold our home in 24 hours.  Kristy was extremely helpful leading up to our decision to list, and despite being a high volume producer she was always available for us and provided personal service.

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.

It's simple. We are four months following our home transactions, both a buy and a sell, with Kristy and we just recommended her 'as the best real estate agent in the area' to someone we just meet over this past weekend.

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.

It was a wonderful experience to work with Kristy. She is amazing. What made me feel so comfortable is her business philosophy to make clients feel comfortable and safe. No doubt, I will use her service again in the future.

Kristy and her team are excellent!  If you want the best in the business, you should contact Kristy!  Kristy will guide you in setting the price of your home so that it is competitive and appropriate for your neighborhood.  She and her team excel at keeping you informed every step of the way.  You will receive feedback after every viewing and open house.  Your home will sell with Kristy!

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 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 was wonderful to deal with. The sale of my house  was very stressfull for me and Kristy was always there to lend an ear and an encouraging word. She knows  all there is to know about the buying and selling of real estate. Kristy is also very personable  she is very easy to talk to and she   always has an answer to your questions and if she doesn't she finds the answer. I would recommend Kristy to anyone I know. I told my parents about her, they listed there house with Kristy and sold it in a day. She is awesome.

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.

We first had the pleasure of working with Kristy on the sale of our home in 1999.            We have purchased and sold homes with her ever since. The most recent transaction was a sale of a home in Tampa Palms last month. Can’t ask for anything more from such a great agent.            She had 22 showings the day   after it listed and sold it in 48 hours for more then the asking price. This is the only agent you should use to purchase your home in the Tampa area. She gets the job done!

Kristy leads a team of tried and true professionals dedicated to their clients and seeking all possible realty sales avenues to ensure your property gets its best exposure in the marketplace. Everyone was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend Kristy to lead your real estate journey to  its ultimate successful conclusion. Thank you to Kristy and all of her team for their market savvy and client focus!

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.

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!

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.

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!

When it comes to selling your home in New Tampa, Kristy and her team should be at the top of your list.  She understands the market and how to market your home, using all the tools available. Professional, highly ethical, knowledgable, personable, are just a few of the words to describe Kristy.  This was our second time working with Kristy to sell our home in the last 13 years, and the experience has been great each time.

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.

Kristy far exceeded our expectations. She is vey knowledgeable about the area and helped to guide us in a every aspect of the home buying process. She has an outstanding work ethic and responded to all of our questions and needs in a very timely manner. In addition, she took the time to get to know   us as clients and to make sure that our home buying experience was the best it could possibly be. She is professional, honest and was able to advise us in the negotiating process of home buying. We would highly recommend Kristy as an agent, and will definitely contact her again should we need to sell or buy a home. I am very grateful to the friends that recommended Kristy and feel that our experience could not have gone better!

From the Sunday that we first met with Kristy, I was very impressed with her presentation showing what the real estate environment was in our area, and what her recommendation was as far as what we would benchmark our results at concerning timing and price. The timing and price projections  were   quite close to what actually took place. I was pleased with the results. I must say that Kristy was very responsive as we went through the process. Whenever I had a question or an issue that I wanted to discussed, I texted her, and she responded immediately. I was very appreciative of that responsiveness. As a result of that, I felt that she and I and my wife moved through the process very effectively, in REAL TIME, subtly making changes that needed to be made resulting in our successful sale. Again, I was very satisfied with the results of the selling of our house, both in timing and price, and I was very impressed with the process as conducted by Kristy and her staff.

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!

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!

Kristy is very knowledgeable and professional.  She is extremely responsive and kept me informed of every development on both my sale and simultaneous purchase.  I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of realty services.

Kristy and her team provided us the best real estate sales experience we've ever had.  She was positive, professional and driven.  Her email feedback system provided immediate viewing information and feedback from prospective buyers, that in itself, separates her from everyone else. Hands down AWESOME experience. Thanks Kristy!

In our 30 years of experience with realtors through multiple moves, Kristy Darragh and her staff, Amanda and Brandy were the best that we have had the pleasure to work with. She sold our house in 34 days and my mother-in-law’s home in a week. She successfully negotiated excellent pricing on both   homes. She was insightful on the staging of the property, and her marketing with professional photographs was eye popping. Kristy is a rock star in the New Tampa market with a well-deserved reputation for honesty and integrity. Despite her volume of business, she was always accessible and quick to respond. On the few occasions that she was tied up in a closing, her wonderful and dynamic staff filled the void. We cannot praise Kristy and her staff enough for the level of service that THEY provided to our family. A sincere thank you.

Kristy Darragh Is an outstanding real estate agent. The Zillow Company is fortunate to add Kristy in your staff. I have known Miss Darragh for 10 years. She sold my house in Tampa Palms; was involve with the purchase of my home at Live Oak subdivision, and this month closed the sale of this home.

Kristy is a true professional, very knowledgeable, and was a pleasure to work with. She offered great insight, and was always available when we needed her. Her assistants, Jace and Toni were also amazing. We didn’t get the chance to interact with her very long, because she sold our home so quickly!  We would highly recommend her and her team!

We had so much fun working with Kristy! She helped us find our dream home. She made the home buying process super easy, she took care of every thing. We would highly recomend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Five stars for Kristy! She sold our house in record time and has tremendous expertise, knowledge, business acumen, and a warm, friendly attitude. She analyzes the market thoroughly and provides a very professional brochure with excellent photographs. Also, she is always reliable and available. She  is #1!

Kristy Darragh is the best realtor we've ever worked with! Her and her team are EXCELLENT and made the experience of selling our home very smooth!  We will be using her again and highly recommend her!

Kristy and her team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I contacted Kristy to get her opinion of what it would take to get our home market ready. She made time to meet with me even before we had officially started the process. She brought with her a very professionally done custom book which  contained comps for our community and details about my home that she and her team had gathered. Because of her expertise we had an offer in five days and closed in 25 days. If I had it to do over again I would call Kristy. She truly is in my opinion the best realtor in the New Tampa area. 

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 came to the first appointment totally prepared.  Complete folders of all the comparables, a mockup of our house listing including street side pictures, google earth pictures of the house, and a thorough search of the property's government records. A truly professional photographer was   arranged, numerous web sites for listing, and Kristy provided a very professional staff to contact and work with for any questions or issues that came up.

Kristy was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the sale of my home.  She was very effective in dealing with the other realtor and was careful to include provisions in the contract that were helpful toward a quick sale of the property.  I would definitely recommend her to other sellers or buyers.

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.

All discussions with Kristy were clear and informative and always led to the next steps in the process of selling my home. I have bought and sold 4 homes and the process and outcome with her and her staff were without exception positive. My home was sold < 7 days at +$5000 over the list price. I would recommend her without reservation.

Several years ago, my wife and I purchased a home from a seller that was represented by Kristy Darragh. We told ourselves that if we ever needed a realtor in the future Kristy would be the one. We recently sold and purchased a new home using Kristy and Megan Darragh...they exceeded our expectations on both ends of the transactions. They checked all the boxes: market knowledge, home presentation, generation of showings, terrific negotiation skills, and attention to detail and follow-up. They made us feel like we were their only client. Needless to say, any future moves on our part will include Kristy and Megan.

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 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.

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.

Kristy is simply THE BEST!  We have worked with Kristy for over 20 years.  She has successfully sold 8 houses for us.  We wouldn't work with anyone else.

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!

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 is very professional and on top of any and all dealings during the process it was a pleasure working with her. The team she has built around her makes it east to communicate quickly and handle situations in a timely manner. Her knowledgeable of the local market is excellent and communicates  very well up to date on all showings and work that needs to be done to the house to sell it quickly. I highly recommend kristy to anybody looking to sell their home she is very good. I would use her again for sure.

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.

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 was everything I needed in a realtor. I truly didn't have to worry about the process with her taking care of me. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a true professional, all day long!
