I had a very short time frame to find my home. Keith and Wayne were true professionals always finding a way to accommodate my needs. They were the perfect match for me.
Keith Kropp went above his call of duty. This is our second home purchase with Keith. He always was a phone call away if we had any questions. If he didn't answer. he was good to call back in a reasonable time. Keith would even call us up in Canada to check up on us. That's that personal touch everyone appreciates. Keith always was truly honest and upfront. He said what he thought to which we respected. This home purchase came with a few reasonable roadblocks. Keith was always ahead ad cleared the way to make this deal happen. Much appreciated and I give thanks and love our new home - much smaller and way less work for both of us.
Both Keith and his partner Wayne were very professional and accommodating. They were quick in scheduling appointments and made themselves available when we needed them. We had our small dog with us and didn’t want to leave her alone, so she went on the showings with us. One of the buildings allowed owners to have pets, but did not allow visiting animals, so either Keith or Wayne would take turns “dog sitting” while the other showed us condos. When we chose a condo, Keith wrote the contract, explaining details along the way. Keith put me at ease that all concerns were addressed. Even after we had an accepted contract, Keith arranged for additional viewings, beyond the home inspection, so that we could measure for furniture and check colors. Working with Keith and Wayne was a very positive experience. They went above and beyond to accommodate us. I would recommend the Keith Kropp team to anyone looking for property in the Sarasota area.
