FIVE STARS!!!!! Justin Ratzlaff made my last minute decision to purchase a home for the first time a great experience. Hes very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. I told him my goal was to find a home by Christmas and by 12/23 he congratulated me when my offer got accepted. Im so thankful he helped me not only race against the clock but find the home of my dreams. Ive recommended him to my friends. Thanks for everything, Justin!
After living in the downtown Tampa area for the past couple of years we knew we wanted to eventually buy our first home but had no idea where to start. Chandler was super helpful in first helping us determine the areas we would want to consider and would be a best fit for us. He took us around a couple areas on a Saturday afternoon and it was very apparent he had been well versed around Tampa and knowledgeable about the current state of the housing market. Every time we requested to see a home Chandler was quick to response and always set up a time which was flexible and conducive to our schedule. Even when he was not available, he made sure a colleague was at the ready.We looked at about 10 hours prior to finding one we wanted to close on. During the inspection period, Chandler walked us through everything the inspector noted and was quick to be open and honest regarding the report that was returned. After we ended up walking away from the first house, we were a low spirited; however, less than a week later Chandler was able to get us a showing at what is now our home! The flexibility, professionalism, and personal touch of the buying process with him and FAR were more than what we could have hoped for and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the Tampa area (especially Seminole Heights)!
Chris Haynes & Autumn Haynes were absolutely amazing. This was my first time buying a home and they walked me through everything. They made the process as easy as it could have been. Both were available at any time to answer any questions I may have had and it was a much easier experience with both of them helping out.
We met Chris Brown with Frank Albert Realty purely by coincidence several years ago. In that time, he’s represented us both buying and selling. Just when we think we know him, he totally blows us away again with his kindness, drive, and willingness to go above and beyond. This realtor has literally gone door to door when no one was selling in the exact small neighborhood we wanted to be in if that gives just an idea of his determination and ability to help clients (by the way, it worked and we found the home). We’ve referred friends and family, and even my own mother to him, who he’s also represented both buying and selling. When she passed away recently, I knew who to call. He guided and supported me through the entire process, both professionally and emotionally. He is extremely empathetic as well as knowledgeable. We are lucky to have you Chris, not only as our realtor but as our friend.
I feel very lucky having had such an amazing experience working with Chandler Thompson! He is very relaxed, empathetic, and professional and was a great advocate for my needs. I was an out-of-state buyer and could completely trust Chandler as my agent. Chandler talked me through the entire home buying process several times - a testament to his patience! He guided the process of bidding on a house in an insane sellers market, making sure that it was accommodating and fair to me, but competitive and attractive to the seller. Not to mention his expertise of Tampa and the Heights areas - he even helped by connecting the seller to some of his contacts to ensure we closed on time (as well as connecting me to some of my contacts too!) I highly recommend choosing Chandler to support you - there is no comparison and no one better!
I highly recommend Chris Brown. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and responsive in helping us find a larger home. He listened, and answered or assisted us with any of our concerns.My family and I have now also trusted Chris and have contracted him in selling our current house. I know he will have my family’s best interest when doing this. He truly guided us in every step of the buying process through closing; and is someone I now consider a friend of our family.
New to the area and looking for a rental unfortunately Frank doesnt normally do rentals but still call him they come through once Im a while!!!Super nice and super sweet gave me alot of useful information to use while looking for a rental. When Im ready to buy a house Id call Frank back!!
Chris Brown was referred to us from our broker, and I am so happy she did! It was a pleasure working with Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable, listened to what we were looking for, was readily available to see homes, responsive to all my questions/texts, and negotiated to get us our dream home. I would highly recommend Chris and we will be using him again to sell our current home.
Choosing a realtor is hard when there are countless to pick from, many who are impersonal and too corporate. I worked with Chandler, who helped make my home buying process seamless and enjoyable, Id 100% recommend reaching out to him. Hes an expert in the Tampa Bay area, knows every street, and his primary goal isnt to make a quick commission, but to help you find the right home. I appreciated that he worked to accommodate my wants, while also setting realistic expectations. He was always quick to respond when I had questions, or wanted to schedule a walk through, and made the experience much more friendly than business. Once we found a house, Chandler and his awesome transaction coordinator Taryn helped keep us on track for a timely close. Thanks for the great experience and helping me find my new home!
We were referred to Chris Brown by our broker and couldnt have asked for a better realtor. As first time homebuyers, Chris was always patient and willing to answer all of our questions that came up. With such a competitive market, Chris put together creative offers that helped us stand out and secure a beautiful home. We would highly recommend Chris Brown to anyone looking to buy a home in the Tampa Bay area and wouldnt hesitate to work with him again.
Frank Albert and his team make you feel like you are the only client and they make buying your first home (or 4th) a smooth and confident transaction. Their knowledge of the industry and contacts within it create a very smooth and comfortable process through what can be a very scary process. What I love most about them is their integrity. They are looking to find you the best home for your budget not pressure you into an upsell to line their pockets.
I met Chandler Thompson of FA Realty at an open house that he was hosting, and I was just casually looking at buying a house but wasn’t in a rush.Chandler was super friendly and helped me answer all my questions even though I wasn’t yet convinced I wanted to buy. He took me to local showings and helped me figure out the Tampa area and what I actually wanted, even though I wasn’t committed. By the end, he helped me come to realize a condo would be a perfect fit for me which wasn’t at all what I was thinking about originally.One weekend I saw a condo I absolutely fell in love with that already had an offer. Chandler dropped everything and helped me get an offer in, and managed to convince the seller on my behalf that I was the better buyer. It was amazing.Throughout the negotiation process he was always on top of everything that was happening and helped me understand and negotiate along the way. I was a first time home buyer — and Chandler made me feel completely confident. I had always heard horror stories about how rough the process is but honestly... it was cake thanks to him!If you want a realtor that is professional but also feels like a friend throughout the process, Chandler is your man.
It was a truly great experience working with Chandler and his team throughout the process of purchasing our home. Chandlers knowledge of various cities in the Tampa Bay area proved to be very helpful in our search. He was always available for questions, gave excellent advice and extremely patient to accompany us to numerous open houses and other listings. Even before we started the search, he took the time to discuss the home buying process in detail and really understood what we were looking for in a home. I have no doubt that Chandler was a big part in our seamless home buying experience. I would not hesitate to work with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone buying a home.
I cant speak highly enough of my experience with Chandler Thompson. I am a first-time homebuyer with very little knowledge about how to find the right place in the Tampa area. Frank Albert Realty came highly recommended, and I had the pleasure of partnering with Chandler. Chandler is honest and took a very hands-on approach in guiding me through the home buying process.I never felt pressured to make an offer, and when we finally found the one, Chandler was with me through every step of the negotiations. He even provided additional options and resources to make sure I was comfortable with the home purchase. I will be sure to send any future friends and family referrals to Frank Albert Realty, whether they are buying or selling, and I highly recommend Chandler Thompson as your real estate agent.
Chris Brown is one hell of a realtor. He took 7 months to find the kids a townhome in their price range. He never gave up and continued the search till they finally found their new home. He also assisted my mother with selling her home after my dad passed. He was patient and kind through out the signing to the closing. Always keeping her updated on what was going on and getting the the best price. Any future real estate transaction will go to Chris Brown without a thought.
If I could give Chandler 100+ stars I would, because 5 doesnt even begin to describe it. Chandler has tirelessly worked with me through the years as Ive wavered on buying a home and now that the time has finally come, I wouldnt have wanted to be in this crazy market with anyone else as a realtor. Chandler knew exactly what I was looking for in a home (I was picky), and he helped me find it! Chandlers knowledge of the market to the contracts, to recommending services is invaluable for any homebuyer. He is a true professional and it shows he truly has a passion for what he does. If youre not working with Chandler on finding your home, what are you doing?
I used Chandler Thompson at Frank Albert Realty to help me sell my home in Seminole Heights, Tampa, Florida. I knew that his company, Frank Albert Realty, specialized in my area of town and I really enjoyed the peace of mind that gave me while venturing into selling. I was toying with the idea of listing when Chandler suggested we take a look at the market and decide if selling was best for me. With a “no pressure” look at numbers and my options, he helped me make a very educated decision to sell. Thanks to Chandler and his vast knowledge of the market, I got excited and confident that I had the help I needed to go forward with selling. Chandler was always one text/call away. Even if I had the silliest question or a quick need for reassurance he was there! I was particularly impressed with his quick and decisive decision making that was always aimed towards making sure I got the best deal for my home. In an ever changing market this is invaluable. Chandler always gave me helpful suggestions to make the home more appealing to buyers but was always respectful of my financial restraints. He worked numerous open houses for me, procured top notch photography of my home, and made sure my home had visibility on every real estate website/mailer/social media possible. I really felt like my home was being seen by a large market of interested buyers. He even took it upon himself to stage my home for me! In the end, my home sold in a timely manner and for a price I was very happy with. Selling a home is stressful and there are many things beyond your control, but with Chandler by my side throughout the process I really felt safe in my decision. I highly recommend using Chandler Thompson for your next real estate needs!
Chris brown was seriously nothing short of professional and affective when it comes to a realtor . He was always in contact with my wife and I but definitely not annoying or pushy . He was there when we had any questions or had any concerns and made us feel at ease on the whole situation . Not only did he sell our house in less then 48 hours but he also helped us find our dream home. I strongly advise to contact him when you need your house sold and need someone who is honest and caring . He’s the best and we couldn’t thank him enough for everything he did for us . Thanks for having our backs Chris !
Kaeli Alva is the absolute best realtor! This was my second time buying a house, but first time selling. Even with my very busy schedule, she made everything work for my family. She was honest, extremely responsive, patient, genuine, and always made herself available. She guided us through the whole process and always gave her honest opinion during such a tough market.On the first day my house was listed, we had tons of offers and it was because of her- the advice on staging and the amazing pictures. I cannot say enough great things about Kaeli- she makes stuff happen, even when it seems impossible. She is feisty too! I recommend everyone I know to her- because when it comes to something so stressful, everyone deserves to have the best of the best and she is it!
As a long time Tampa residents, and a previous homeowners, we knew exactly what we wanted in our next home. We chose Chandler Thompson of Frank Albert Realty as our buyers agent because as we explained what we were looking for, it was obvious that he understood completely. He worked tirelessly to help us find our home and was able to easily accommodate our schedule for viewings. From our first sit down with him to after close he was always energetic, personable, and professional. Negotiations can be very difficult and stressful, but Chandler made the process as straightforward as possible, handling problems with the house and seller efficiently and working to get us a good deal. We love our new home and are very happy that we went with Chandler as our realtor.
Chandler Thompson was fantastic to work with. We purchased our house in Tampa while living in Massachusetts, having never visited in person and working with a limited budget. Chandler was able to take videos for us, he schedule several contractors to look at all concerns within the house, and followed up with each of them until everything was finalized and finished thoroughly. There’s no way we could have done this without his expertise! We’re so thankful to have had him guide us through this process!
Chandler is amazing at his job and we were very fortunate to have him as our realtor! He was there through every step of the process and his professionalism and honestly was greatly appreciated. Chandler was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had and gave prompt responses. He was able to make the home buying process go by as smoothly and simply as possible. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor!
Chandler Thompson is THE best realtor in Tampa Bay. We met Chandler at an open house and little did we know that he would help us find our dream house. He provided us with all of the knowledge and education we needed throughout the process. He was always available for us and with us at every single step of our home buying process. He made sure we closed in 30 days with no hiccups at all! Everything was completely smooth all thanks to Chandler. Thank you, Chandler, finding the perfect house for us!
Chandler made the home-buying process simple and approachable. We were searching for our first home in Tampa Heights and, after our first sit down with him, it didnt take long for us to choose him as our realtor. From the start, he put us at ease with his knowledge of the process, stepping us through each phase and what to expect. He ended up leading us to a home we loved and, with his help, get under contract. His guidance during negotiations helped us reach a great deal. We love our new home -- thanks again Chandler!
Chandler is a very nice, laid back, knowledgeable realtor. He knows the Seminole heights and surrounding areas very well. He is very thoughtful for first time home buyers. He asks a lot of questions and always is trying to help you find what you want.At times, it would be a bit difficult to get his genuine opinion because he does not want to influence your decision making.He did everything he could do to help us get the house we now own and love. Communication could’ve been a bit better. It is often difficult to try to convey and relay information through texts. The only critique we have of his communication is that we wished he was more direct at times.He is very well connected and is able to provide a lot of resources in the area. He is very quick in the home buying process ie getting quotes from contractors.Would recommend Chandler to anyone looking for a house in the heights area !
Chandler is an exceptional agent. He was very knowledgeable in the entire process from the moment we started making offers on homes. Chandler and his team have an extremely methodical and organized approach that was very beneficial for me as a first-time homebuyer. And at no point did I feel like he was trying to make a quick sale. I honestly believed he was very candid about his opinions on certain homes.In the end, I got the home that I wanted in a prime location for, what I believe, was a great deal. Thanks again to Chandler and the team.
We met Chandler Thompson at an open house and immediately knew he was the perfect realtor for us! He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable about the Tampa/Seminole Heights area and really helped us find an amazing home for our family. He actually took us on a tour of all the local neighborhoods and really helped us narrow down our search area. He always responded to us within a few minutes and on multiple occasions met us last minute for showings, which was an absolute must in this hot market right now. Even if Chandler himself was not available for a showing (which was very rare) he would have another Frank Albert team member meet us so we never had a missed opportunity. We are so thankful that we found Chandler and highly recommend him if you are looking for a new home!
Chris Brown was amazing- knowledgable and responsive. He guided us through buying our first house with absolute professionalism. He listened to what we were looking for, responded to all of our many questions, and offered great advice. From start to finish, we found a home and closed in less than 30 days. I definitely recommend Chris Brown!
Kaeli Alva is a phenomenal realtor! If youre looking for someone whos extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable and friendly, shes it!Kaeli stood by our side for 8 months as we dealt with some rather difficult circumstances (we were buying a new build). Because of her, I felt confident and reassured that everything was going to workout. You wouldnt think that youd care if your real estate agent is sweet and comforting, but it matters when youre making the biggest purchase of your life. On the flip side, anytime we had any hiccups or some garbage loan officer was giving us the run around, Kaeli was quick to throw her knowledge and know-how at them to set them straight.Shes amazing and we are so grateful for everything shes done for us. Thank you, Kaeli. ❤
My fiancée and I worked with Chandler Thompson to buy our new home. Chandler is incredibly knowledgeable about Seminole Heights, and is also very friendly and responsive. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy before we made the purchase! Would strongly recommend Chandler to anyone looking for a home in the heights or anywhere else in the Tampa Bay Area!
Chandler made the house buying process a breeze. He was personable and knowledgable. He made us feel like family. Chandler helped us find the best house for us and was able to answer all our questions along the way. He knew a lot about the area and was able to advise us accordingly. He even went out of his way to provide us with contacts to help our move go smoothly, such as cleaners and handymen! Everyone needs a realtor like Chandler!
I am happy to recommend the Frank Albert Realty team to anyone looking to buy a home. Chandler went above and beyond during the entire house hunting process. I never felt pressured and could always communicate easily with Chandler. He is extremely professional, well connected in the Tampa area, and up to date on the market. Loving my new home!
Chandler was professional and really took the time to explain all the steps to purchasing our first home. He was diligent and devoted to helping us find the perfect home for our new family. He spent several weekends showing us multiple homes within several areas that we were interested in. The time he took into researching each location helped us realize where we wanted to live as a family, and what priorities were most important to us. Buying a home has been such an emotional and exciting experience. Were so grateful to have had a realtor that was so understanding, patient and driven to help us close on our first home!
We loved working with Chandler. The process was easy, he was always accessible to us, flexible with our requests, and it felt like buying a home with the help of a friend.He knows the area so well and was extremely knowledgeable about the process, helping us resolve issues that arose during the purchase. We felt at ease and comfortable the entire time. Would recommend to everyone I know!
We were referred to Chris Brown when we first started looking to purchase a home. Chris put together a plan and got us set up with 5 or 6 showings on super short notice. Unfortunately the house we originally hoped to purchase fell through due to some issues with the sellers. The day after that happened, Chris had us in a brand new listing that we fell in love with. We put in an offer and Chris made sure we came out on top when other buyers started making bids. Now we are happily moved into our awesome first home. If you are looking for a new house in Tampa call Chris hes your man.
As first time homebuyers, we had no clue what we were doing, but Chandler made the whole process easy and stress-free. He clearly explained every step we needed to take and offered info on pre-market properties that ultimately led to us finding our dream home. Once wed decided on a house, Chandler helped us navigate all sorts of issues, ranging from roof repairs to a difficult seller, and ensured we closed as soon as possible. Id highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Tampa!
Chandlers depth of knowledge of Tampa Bay and his ability to help clients identify what they are truly looking for in their first or next home makes him the perfect realtor for any buyer and seller in the Tampa Bay area. His pragmatic approach to educating, passion for real estate, and (scary) accurate competitive analysis makes him an asset in every transaction.More importantly, Chandler takes unrivaled care of every client he serves. He not only accomplishes every clients real estate goals, he fosters friendships through the process with each client that are rooted in trust, transparency, and professionalism.Im honored to call Chandler a partner in real estate, but even more grateful to call him a dear friend. Based on fellow reviewers, you will too.
Chandler was a fantastic help for us moving to the Tampa area. He knows the area very well. He did a great job of listening to our needs and opinions. Never showed us a house over our agreed budget (thanks for that). He went well above and beyond his job description to help us buy a house. He is also highly available and responsive at the drop of a hat. Really just everything you would want out of a realtor.
Having gone through three other agents I finally found a team player that made this entire process possible. There was never a moment I asked too many questions, and with a first time home purchase this big, he provided me with information from the start to clarify every expected step of the way. Finding an agent with an awareness towards the complexities of identity, Chandler was inclusive and was an advocate for me through out the entire process. He provided a personable experience that kept me in the game with autonomy. I would highly recommend Chandler as your real estate rep. He was great and I look forward to working with him again.
We found Courtney out of the blue when searching for homes and after meeting in person she made an immediate impression on my Fiancee and me. You could tell she cared about the people she got to work with and was very accommodating to us as buyers.Starting as very casual buyers we did not feel rushed and got to view places on our terms with Courtney always being immediately responsive. Being first time home buyers she never made us feel bad for asking obvious questions and continued to guide us in the right direction based off all of our wants and needs.As the process began to heat up and we found a place we really liked she made every move needed to lock down the property. Courtney and Frank Albert Realty were able to negotiate the asking price down and get it to a range that we were more than comfortable with. This gave us that much more confidence to finalize the deal and just continued to build that trust.Overall, Courtney and the FAR team did everything we couldve asked for. I highly recommend you give her a call and give her a chance to make an impression. You will not be disappointed.
Just went through my first home purchase with Chandler Thompson! He made the whole process very easy and was willing to accommodate around our schedules!He is incredibly knowledgeable of the history of the Bay Area and can definitely show you some hidden gems!Would recommend him to anyone who needs a good realtor!
We highly recommend Frank and his team, particularly Courtney! As second time home buyers, we could not have been happier with Courtney’s attention to detail and expert advice. Her knowledge of the Seminole Heights market and ability to guide us into making the right decision for us was impeccable. We will definitely be working with Courtney again as well as refer her to our friends and family.
Frank was great to work with from the start. He paired us with an interior designer to help us with staging our home. He gave us his recommendation on listing price and walked us through what to expect. When all was said and done, we had six offers within 3 days of listing (and all were above asking!) We would definitely use Frank again if we relocate back to the Tampa area.
Chandler is the BEST real estate agent!We are so lucky we found him because looking for a home in the past was a nightmare. I’m like wow how do people find homes?! Then my friend referred me to Chandler-Thompson and the experiences was so so different. He showed us houses in our price range and somehow knew exactly what we liked from the start. He is super nice, and helps you with everything along the way. Every referral he gave you blew it out of the water as well( mortgage company, inspection company, etc). We now get to live in our perfect little home and it felt so easy a caveman can do it, but because we had Chandler! He is the bomb!
Chandler is the best! He was the 3rd realtor we worked with and was hands down the best. Was very attentive to everything we were looking for and getting us viewings asap, especially when houses were selling the day they were listed. He walked us through the process seamlessly and made sure we were fully informed about everything that was happening. We are just at about a year from closing on our home and he still keeps up with how we are doing. Youre not just getting a realtor with Frank Albert Realty, but a friend and family! Definitely will be sticking with them for all our home buying and selling needs!
Chandler was extremely knowledgeable and very quick in his response as I was selling a home and was no longer living in the area. He guided me throughout the entire process and got my home sold in a weekend. If I am ever in the market again in the Tampa area without a doubt Chandler would be my first choice.
Kaeli Alva was simply amazing! After nearly 28 years my parents decided to sell our family home in order to move closer to their grandchildren. Choosing Kaeli was the best decision they could’ve made, she helped with everything, selling our old home being quick to help us find our new home and being available at any given time with a comforting word and helpful advice. We appreciate her so much in helping us find a amazing new home!
After almost 28 years in our home my husband and my made one of the biggest decisions of our life, to sell home to be closer to our grandchildren. Choosing Kaeli Alva at Frank Albert Realty was the best choice we made. She not only help sell our house but she also help us find our forever home. She walk us through the process every step of the way, always a phone call away to answer all our questions. Thank you Kaeli for your help, we love our new home! ❤️
Chandler did an amazing job at showing us houses that fit what we were looking for. We thought it would take much much much longer but from the moment that we spoke with him it took about 2 months until we where closing on a home exactly in the street that we wanted to be in! No one else in Tampa has the level of knowledge about Seminole Heights and the surrounding areas like her does!
Courtney Arruda was my agent and absolutely killed it. I was an out of the city client and she had no issues taking her time to make sure I saw the homes I wanted to see, even if it meant going to a few of the same ones over to make sure I didn’t overlook anything. Courtney Truly cares about her clients. She has integrity and a work ethic that is unimaginable. We ran into issues with the seller in my deal and when I was frustrated she was my peace of mind. I am SO grateful for her and would recommend her to ANYONE. ESPECIALLY Veterans she has experience some don’t within that field and it’s important as a veterans to have an agent we’ll versed in that process! Thank you again Courtney and Frank Albert Reality for this match made in heaven !
Courtney was extremely helpful and accessible, willing to work around my hectic schedule. She was very patient and not pushy, unlike other realtors I have had. She had a good sense of the Tampa and Seminole Heights market and key things to think about given different properties. I’d highly recommend her!
I highly recommend Chandler for potential buyers and sellers. He is very nice, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions I had throughout the buying process. I am a financial professional and would feel extremely comfortable referring my own clients to him for their real estate needs.
Working with Chandler at Frank Albert Realty was a real pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable, helpful, patient, always available for questions. Where the rubber hits the road, he sold my house in less then a week and for over what I initially thought I would get.
After unsuccessfully trying to sell our home a year ago, we listed again, but this time with Frank. Frank and his group had it staged beautifully and we had it under contract in 2 and half weeks. Frank knows Seminole Heights realty better than anyone and his entire team is helpful and very responsive. I highly recommend FAR if you are looking to sell or buy a home in Tampa.
Frank did an incredible job getting two of my homes sold on a strict deadline, both for full asking price. What else could be said? Professional, sharp, efficient. He helped from start to finish, with minor repairs, staging, prepping - to the very end of signing the closing documents. I can’t recommend him and his team enough. Thank you Frank!
As a Tampa transplant and a first time home buyer, Courtney made what could have been a headache a smooth and painless process. My husband and I were very specific about what we were looking for and Courtney always listened to our likes/dislikes and didn’t stop trying to find our dream home. Highly recommend Courtney!
I highly recommend Frank and his team, especially Courtney! Courtney’s attention to detail and expert advice makes this process a breeze. Her ability to be professional and still be extremely personable makes her really stand out! I will definitely be working with Courtney again as well as refer her to my friends and family.
Met Chandler at an open house ironically and I already had an agent. I ended up changing to him because he spent time explaining the process before even the first offer was written and was always available to show a house that came on the market. He is without a doubt the reason I got my house and and offer accepted in 12 hours of it being listed. Best experience
Worked with Chandler and the realty team last year, and they got us into our first home that we absolutely adore. Chandler was easy to work with, and very considerate. He knew what he was talking about, efficiently explained anything we asked, and was there whenever we called.
I truly enjoy working with Marino. He’s very informative and has guided me through this process as if I was a family member. I knew nothing about anything real estate. All I knew is I wanted a beautiful home that wouldn’t feel like a burden. Not only was he able to help me accomplish that, but he also educated me as we went. I never felt pressured and most of all he was my advocate. I felt safe working with him as if he had my best interest at the forefront at all time.
Courtney is incredibly talented in searching and negotiating for a good property. The buying process with her is much simplified than it would be otherwise. She kept me advised each and every step. She’s very trustworthy and you can count on her to make your buying process easier.
Chandler was responsive, prompt and professional. He was very knowledgeable about the Seminole Heights area and the offer/closing process. He never pressured me but advised me when to act with urgency. He had excellent referrals to other parts of the homebuying process (i.e. mortgage broker, inspector, title company) at his fingertips to ensure a smooth closure.
So I was referred by a friend to frank Albert Realty,And I was set up with my agent Christopher Brown, and he was 10x better than the agent I was working with before from VETERANS UNITED.Chris knows exactly what he’s doing and how he’s doing it. He took us to go see all the homes we asked him to take us to until we finally picked one. I will be referring him to all my friends!!!!
I just starting looking for my first home recently and I cant believe how easy the process has been thanks to Courtney Arruda. She is available day or night to answer any questions I have and is so knowledgeable about the Tampa area and Seminole Heights. I’ve already recommended her to a few friends — she’s that good! You can go wrong choosing her for all of your real estate needs.
We have worked with Courtney and the FAR team in our quest to finding our home - and could not have imagined a better partnership. Courtney came recommended to us by a good friend and we have been impressed every since. From start to finish, Courtney has exceeded our expectations day-in and day-out and gets it done.
I was referred to Frank k Albert Realty by a friend of mine, specifically to Courtney! Courtneys knowledge and experience helped me figure out what the next steps are to looking for my perfect home! I will definitely be recommending her to others that are looking into purchasing a home or have questions about what the next step is!
Courtney Arruda was very knowledgeable, helpful and professional throughout our entire buying process. Took all the stress out of what normally is a stressful process. We would not hesitate to recommend Courtney and plan on using her again for our future real estate needs.
My fiancé and I were planning a move down to Florida from out of state and we were so lucky to work with Tanya Henry! She was extremely responsive and walked us through every step of the way. Because we couldn’t travel, she was able to show us our new place through FaceTime! Tanya was completely transparent and incredibly helpful. She also advocated for us when she needed to. I can easily say that this was the most positive experience I’ve ever had looking for a place to live. I would definitely recommend Frank Albert Realty, and request Tanya Henry!
Chandler has been working with me on some investment properties. Hes knowledgeable and whatever falls outside his scope he gets an answer on immediately. He is patient and honest with a no pressure approach designed around the clients comfort. We havent found the right place yet, but we will keep on trying.
I would highly recommend Chris Brown with Frank Albert Realty to anyone who is looking for a realtor. We had to sell two houses and buy one. One of the houses that we needed to sell we knew was going to be very difficult to sell. Chris had that house under contract before it was ever listed and the other one within 7 days. Chris was very helpful throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to make things happen.
Big shoutout to Courtney Arruda! My fiancé and I have loved working with her. Courtney is absolutely amazing. She has gone above and beyond to give us a great experience. If we have any questions at anytime, she is always there to help. We can’t thank her enough! She’s definitely the person you want by your side to help you buy or sell a home.
Currently getting ready to start the home buying process and looking forward to working with Chris Brown! He helped my mother and grandmother recently sell two house and buy one and made it such a smooth process for them. He really cares about his clients and they are not just numbers or paychecks to him!
I loved working with Marino. This was my first time buying a home and I had about 10,000 questions. He had 10,002 answers. Not sure how he pulled it off but My home appraised almost $20,000 more than I payed for it. This was the perfect first buy for me. If you need a realtor who goes to bat for you and works hard to find the right deal he’s your guy!
Frank and his team are passionate about real estate, and that permeates everything that they do.They have the knowledge, and experience to go above and beyond for buyers, or sellers. They get results that other realtors can’t match, and most of all, they truly care about the families they work with.Finally, I have worked with Frank personally, and his work ethic, and professionalism are second to none - the guy never stops. An organization reflects the values of its leader, and its no surprise that Chandler, Kaylie, and the rest of his team are top notch.If you want to be represented by a solid team of energetic, results driven professionals, go no further!!
Chandler at Frank Albert Realty has been a delight to work with. If you are ever in need of help with finding the perfect home, then Chandler is your man. He does an outstanding job. He is patient, persistent, knowledgeable, and delivers the best service you can ever expect from a realtor. 5 stars and beyond.
I couldn’t have asked for a more qualified group of individuals to showcase Tampa. Chandler went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of and was resilient on helping me find my dream home. If you’re looking to buy, sell, or purchase your very first home, like myself, give them a call.
I love Frank Albert realty and I especially love Chris Brown my Go To Realtor!! He took the time and effort to find my dream home. He did his research on the area I was interested in and was kind enough to point out to me the down falls of why this would not be a good fit for me. Chris spent hours answering my questions and was available to me at all hours of the day. He said a home purchase is the biggest purchase of your life time and if you are going to get a 30 year home loan then you need to spend TIME in researching not only the home but the schools, area, neighbors , crime (hopefully none) basically all factors as these all come into play on if this will be the Right Home Fit For You. I could not have asked for a more!! I highly recommend Chris Brown as your go To Realtor!!
Working with Frank Albert Realty was very easy, friendly and responsive, easily guide us through the selling process of the house and the fact that the staging part of the services provided adds up to the overall experience, will definitely look for his services in the future.
Courtney Arruda is my go to person for all of my real estate needs. I cant say enough good things about her - she is so friendly, very responsive, and made the entire experience as stress-free as possible! I would recommend her to anyone interested in selling, buying, or both!!
The owner of this business located my phone number once I removed my listing from the MLS and postured it as if we have a relationship, was following up on something I requested and stated he had a showing in line for my house. All lies. This is predatory, completely dishonest, stalking and professional misconduct. Then claims this review is fake to try and divert the reader away. If you have a listing on MLS that you remove, you can expect to get a text from him.
I worked with Frank when I bought my house a few years ago. He was extremely knowledgeable and really helped me find what I was looking for. He is an amazing realtor who takes his job seriously and works hard to make sure you are truly happy every step of the journey. I cant wait to work with Frank Albert Realty on my future endeavors!
I had the pleasure to work with Chris Brown. I purchased my first house with him and I had a million questions, I would consider myself pretty demanding. He handled my strong personality flawlessly and I recommended him to all of my friends that are currently in the market.
Marino helped my brother find a house for his family last year. They were really impressed with his work ethic and drive. They were moving from out of state and Marino went above and beyond to the extent of going to homes and creating video walkthroughs for them. I am now moving down to be closer to family and am getting the same treatment. If you need a dedicated realtor I highly recommend him .. this guy is a superstar! His broker should be proud.. he’s also very well trained. Keep it up Frank Albert Realty!
Courtney at Frank Albert Realty is a joy to work and collaborate with. She brings warmth, humor and a deep knowledge base to all her interactions. She makes herself available and ready to address any concern and works hard to deliver the best results. I cant recommend Courtney enough!
Working with Marino gave me a better perspective on realtors altogether. Simply put I was very excited to buy a home. Ended up getting in a bidding war and was willing to pay more for the house then it was listed for. He then advised me to walk Because he didn’t think the home was worth more than asking ... I found this ironic because most realtors would have been licking their chops in order to make a bigger commission. I took his advice and we found another home at a better price, I walked away happy after my closing with a new found respect for realtors. I kept an eye on that house just to see what the outcome would be and it actually sold for less than asking after it sat for a while. I’m guessing it did not appraise or had issues with the home inspection, for this reason I will not use any other realtor. Thanks bro!
As a first time home buyer, I was super nervous about the whole process. I’ve known Kaeli for years and she was my first “go to” to start the process. Kaeli was reassuring after viewing multiple homes that I would find my “forever home”. She was very accommodating taking me to look at homes at the drop of a dime. Calmed me down when I would freak out about the process. Kaeli was amazing throughout the whole process and when I found the one, she was just as happy as I was! I am grateful that Kaeli wanted to help me and would surely recommend her to others!
Courtney Arruda is a ROCKSTAR! I’m so happy I was recommended to contact her. She is very knowledgeable about the Seminole Heights area and is personable and professional. The process from start to finish was seamless, and Courtney and Frank Albert Realty team efficiently managed all of the moving pieces. I felt like I was in great hands the entire way. Thanks, Courtney!
This is definitely the team to use for all of your real estate needs. Marino is very knowledgeable and makes it easy to understand how the whole process works. He’s very good at what he does but doesn’t come off like a salesman, yet he’s aggressive when it comes to getting what you want. I would trust him a million times over.
I’m new to the area and was looking for someone to show me properties. I googled searched realty companies and picked Frank Albert. Marino Kelsie has been nothing short of amazing, he is professional and was able to answer questions other realtors weren’t able too. If you are looking for someone that will work for you, look no further. Marino will always put you first.

2022-06-16I had the pleasure of working with Justin Ratzlaff before he moved to Tampa and became a realtor. My wife and I were contemplating a move to Florida, so decided to contact Justin for some pointers, and just a few short months later he was showing us around homes, driving a substantial distance to help us and provide his expertise. Due to his vigilance over the market and his excellent advice, we were able to secure a fantastic home. Throughout the entire process he was extremely patient, knowledgeable and helpful, and we never once felt rushed or pressured. I would strongly recommend anyone in the Tampa area or beyond to seek Justins help buying or selling your home, he will keep your prospects high and your stress levels low!

2022-03-16We used Erin Wertman to sell our home, and it was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Not only did we get more than we expected for our home, she made the process as stress-free as is possible in this wild real estate market. Erin is the perfect balance of fun to work with, meticulous, and knowledgeable. We are moving out of state, and are truthfully heartbroken that we won’t be able to use her for future transactions. She is an absolute gem of both a Realtor and a person, and we count ourselves incredibly lucky to not only have had her along for the journey of the sale of our first home, but to now count her as a friend.

2022-06-15Justin was more than helpful in finding my family a dream house in Riverview, FL. He was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to find us a great home that fit right in our price range! He was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. Given the harsh and competitive market Justin made the entire process easy and flawless. Justin is a talented negotiator with a unique ability to make impossible come true. Justins advice and support through problematic closing was invaluable. Justin was able to negotiate a 40K price cut which is unreal in current market conditions. We could not have done it without him. If you need the best service, and a strategic warrior on your side - I strongly suggest to have Justin represent you.

2022-05-04The sale of my house went smoothly even with an issue that popped up unexpectedly after the first offer was accepted. Chandler Thompson helped to navigate through the process and all closed well. Very happy!!!

2022-09-12My listing agent Was Chandler. He in my opinion was very unprofessional and exhibited no effort whatsoever to help in finding a buyer for my house besides just putting it up on mls. I liked how Chandler marketed past listings with his Facebook and Instagram. He would make videos of himself touring the house, provide updates etc. But he failed to even do one simple Facebook or Instagram post, even though our contract said he would market on those platforms. I questioned him about the missing ads, he assured me that he did put them up, however when I asked for the links, he got offended by my questions but said he would provide them. A week goes by and i ask again. He gets super offended and then cancels our contract. My house isnt one of those houses that once you list it, it immediately gets multiple offers. it needs extra help. And thats why I wanted Chandler. Because I saw how in the past he would go the extra mile and use his social media platforms to help sell houses. But for whatever reason he didnt do that with my house, he instead lied and said he did. It even took way longer than he said it would for there to be a yard sign. 2+ weeks after my house was listed.

2019-06-24Chandler Thompson was absolutely perfect. Readily admit when I walked into his office the first time was wholly unprepared for home purchasing in Florida. Left well informed and excited to pursue the challenges ahead. As the process pushed forward unfortunately Chandlers first meeting started to make sense. After many twists and turns. Me trying to sell a house, having unreal expectations on homes in Florida. I came away with my dream home. Pool, Lake, and Modern Open Concept all within my budget. It was not an easy get, and Chandler literally held my hand when I almost bailed on the whole effort two days before closing. Frank also helped at the end, their support staff Taryn was especially patient with me. Am grateful to have picked this firm.
