Peggy has helped us buy/sell two homes over the years and she is by far the most professional, energetic, organized Realtor weve ever worked with! She knows the area so well, the pros & cons to every neighborhood and helps match your needs with the best possible options. The first time we met Peggy, we called her out in front of a house she had listed and came right over to show it to us. After asking what we were looking for, she sent us a list of other homes to consider. She arranged for experts on sea walls to give us opinions on property we were considering so we could make an informed decision.When it was time to sell our home she was the only one we called! She attended every showing, arranged contractors for repairs and aggressively marketed our home! She stayed on top of EVERY detail right up to the closing! If the buyer or seller got cold feet, she was there to keep everyone moving forward reinforcing why everyone had decided on the deal!Weve listed property in another state and were reminded of how amazing she is to work with when we had to deal with Realtors that are lazy, dont follow-up and leave details to chance, often times, putting the deal in jeopardy or killing it outright!If you want someone that truly works to earn your business, then call and ask for Peggy to help you buy or sell a home in St. Petersburg!
Katie and Amelia helped us with two home sales and one home purchase. They were incredible to work with! BOTH times (selling) they had our house under contract within 48 HOURS and the entire process went smoothly. They’re both so sweet and knowledgeable and responsive, and you can absolutely tell that they truly care about their clients. Katie also helped us with obtaining a rental because our house sold so quickly, and she went above and beyond to be sure that we were locked in since it’s a competitive market here. Best realtors ever! You absolutely can’t go wrong with them!
Kirby Bryan provided a professional, prompt and polite service for my entire house buying process from first contact all the way through to after closing on my chosen home. I was a remotely located buyer (from CA), so it was super important to me to find a realtor with complete local knowledge of neighborhoods, the market and current and future listings. Kirby excelled in all areas. Kirby conducted business in a confident and honest way which built a relationship in which it was easy to instill trust. And this level of trust made the final negotiation on my chosen property a stress free and fun process. Kirby is easily the most competent realtor with whom I have ever had the pleasure in dealing
My wife and I were moving from another state and needed an experienced realtor with extensive knowledge on various neighborhoods to help us choose our family home. It is no easy task finding your new home remotely from another state, but Amelia made it such an easy and stress-free process for us. Amelia easily accommodated her schedule so my husband and I could look at potential homes whenever we made a trip down to FL which so happened to be around the busy Holiday season. We even put our offer in on Christmas Eve! Amelia educated us throughout the buying process and helped with negotiations, interpreting reports, and providing her professional recommendations. Amelia is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly has a knack for what she does - we cant recommend her enough!
Elizabeth & Debbie made our home buying experience amazing!!! We were 1st time buyers & had no clue what we were doing, & they helped us navigate our way to our dream home. They are professionals in every sense of the word, & really made it as carefree as possible for us. They were patient & helped us find “The One” house for us. I 100% recommend Northstar to anyone in the market!
Northstar Realty and the folks that we worked with were knowledgable, professional and responsive, especially Lauren and Allen, and not sure when they sleep. They made selling our condo a most pleasurable event and were there to take our calls, answer questions and guide us through the process.They were a great team to work with and would use them again should we buy or sell real estate.
Thank you so much to Lisa! When I decided to list my townhouse for sale, I called her, we discussed the details, she explained everything, and she told me that she would work for me everyday.And she did! Lisa did a great job showcasing the place with gorgeous pictures, she kept me informed every step of the way, and did way more than expected of a realtor. She was terrific to work with and was very thorough and professional during the entire process.
I recently bought a home with Kirby Bryan as my agent. She did a great job. Always responsive, professional, and polite. Great insight on the local St. Pete market. Good relationships with all of the relevant professionals (other realtors, appraisers, inspectors, etc.). Im very happy with her outstanding work on my behalf.
My wife and I recently moved out of state, in fact, clear across the country. When we finally decided to sell our home, we reached out to some friends in hopes of some solid recommendations for a real estate agent. Georgia, Kirby, and their team came highly recommended to us. And we know why. Having never sold a home, living 3,000 miles away, and quarantined during a pandemic. My wife and I felt like we had quite a lot going against us. Welp, our house sold in what felt like record time. After being listed for less than a week, we were presented with an excellent offer. We closed before the end of the month, it was actually quite impressive. Georgia and Kirby brought more than just tons of experience; they also consistently handled everything with confidence, dedication, understanding, and patience. If we could only use or recommend one team to represent us (or anyone, for that matter), we know exactly where to go!
Alan Sherman of Northstar is, by far, the most amazing real estate agent I have ever dealt with. I buy and sell many properties, have dealt with many agents and none compare. This was my personal home that I was selling due to family obligations in my home state of Maine. Alan went above and beyond with assisting me with issues I could have never handled on my own, being out of state. I am forever grateful! Shout out to Lauren and Peggy too!
Alan Sherman is the BEST ever. Weve bought and sold a lot of houses and Alan was bar none the best weve ever worked with. Kind, caring, upbeat, informative and super responsive. He worked very hard for us, took great care of us and found us the exact right buyer. Its a strange and tough time and market right now but we didnt feel that at all and it was definitely because of Alan and his team. Thank you Alan!
Very happy client of Georgia and Kirby at NorthStar realty. Our 2nd time leveraging them in the past 4 years.They are experts in the Venetian Isles neighborhood and seem to always have a handful of homes theyre working at one time in that area. It helps because the people stop by for open houses and viewings more often. There was always a steady flow of interested people viewing our home. We received two offers exactly 2 months from the date of listing and not far off from asking price. The communication from Georgia and Kirby was especially strong. After every showing, we received a recap within minutes of the prospective buyers leaving the house.
Elizabeth was amazing in assisting myself and my husband in purchasing our first home in the St. Petersburg, FL area. We were relocating from the Midwest and Elizabeth took the time to ensure we chose the right neighborhood for us and our lifestyle, including ensuring we had waterfront that worked for our boat and access to Tampa Bay. We also recommended her to a family member after our sale and she was able to get a contract and close on their house in 30 days! She’s amazing and would recommend her to anyone buying or selling!
Katie is an amazing agent. She’s been involved in the business since a young age, and a lifetime of knowledge in the field shines through when you work with her. Her combination of passion for the business, integrity, knowledge, and drive to meet the customer’s goals are unparalleled.I had several challenging issues that were fairly non-standard pop up during the course of house hunting in St. Pete, and she was there to help and support every step of the way. You can tell that she realizes that a home is one of the most, if not the most, important purchase that someone makes within a lifetime and her drive, empathy, and support throughout the process is something that you’ll be thankful for if you work with Katie.Ultimately I was able to close on a house that I love and check every box that I intended going in for the price that I wanted. Thanks for the help Katie!
Northstar goes above and beyond the typical real estate agent relationship. They really care about their clients not only with helping in the selling or buying process but also with helping arrange accommodations for out of town prospects that need a place to stay or eat. My agent Alan Sherman even helped arrange the delivery of furniture and locating a tenant to rent our condo prior to moving in. Excellent customer service I highly recommend!Peggy Naruns, Alan Sherman and Sam Mallah are exceptional and provide the best in class service for all your residential real estate needs in and around downtown St. Petersburg. This team is absolutely the best in town!
Elizabeth Funk is an amazing realtor with so much knowledge of the St. Petersburg area. She helped my husband and I purchase our first family home and we couldnt be happier. She went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect house that checked all of our boxes, and then some. She also made the closing transaction effortless with all of her contacts. I have since recommended her to friends who have not only bought homes, but loved their experience with Elizabeth Funk. Best Realtor in St. Pete, hands down.
My husband and I had a great experience working with both Georgia and Kirby. They were very knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. In addition, they exhibited great patience with answering all of our many questions and were extremely responsive. They also have an excellent working knowledge of the area. We would recommend them to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home or property.
I recently closed on my property and was extremely happy that I listed with Northstar Realty. Not only did I have a great realtor, but I had a whole professional team that was on top of every detail. They know downtown St Pete better than anybody and everything went smoothly from listing to close. Well done.
Just finished purchasing our first rental property. Patti and Bob were a tremendous help with every aspect of the deal. They helped negotiate a good deal and made sure all the details got done. They responded quickly to all of our request and helped a lot when we asked to move up our closing. Patti and Bob have a ton of contacts and can help with a lot of details you would not think of. We would not hesitate to use their services again.
Weve bought and sold three homes with NorthStar Realty and Katie and Amelia, who make the whole process completely painless. They are professional and a pleasure to work with and proactively manage the entire process from start to finish. Katie and Amelias knowledge of the St. Pete real estate market and individual neighborhoods mean that they will find the right house regardless of budget. Katie and Amelia sold our last house in 7 days and for our latest purchase, the contract was signed in 3 days. They are excellent negotiators and their target price for our latest purchase what exactly what we paid. Everyone at NorthStar has a great deal of integrity, which is very important to us. I wouldnt want to buy or sell a house in St. Pete without Katie and Amelia to assist.
I highly recommend Georgia and Kirby to anyone buying or selling a home who is looking for responsive, aggressive, experienced agents. My house went under contract with a great offer 3 days after listing. Georgia and Kirby proactively problem solved and expertly represented our interests in negotiations. I couldn’t be happier with the results of their efforts!
I did not expect to become a friend with my realtor, but it did happen with Alan Sherman of Northstar. While it helped that both of us are New Yorkers, Alan is indeed exceptional. He approaches business from the viewpoint of clients and went out his way to help - from initial inspection, fix-ups, all the way to post closing, and hes efficient and effective in what hes doing. I am already recommend him to my friends!
Thank goodness I chose to work with this team! Georgia & Kirby were able to sell my home for $150,000 MORE than what other talented agents suspected I’d be able to sell it for - and for all cash in the midst of a pandemic, no less! They were incredibly easy to work with, prompt, and showed up to be present at every home showing themselves, sparing me from the security concerns that come with having a lock box on your home, while ensuring they were able to sell the value of every detail in my home. This was an incredibly emotional journey for me as I’d poured my soul into renovating my home and expected to live there for many years to come, and they were not only empathetic to that, but made certain that I got the full value for the home I’d grown to love so much. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!
My husband and I closed yesterday on a home in St . Pete . We would like to thank Northstar Realty and especially our Agent Holly Beam for representing us in this transaction . Holly ‘s professionalism and knowledge of the area Is outstanding and was key in the finalChoice to we made . We should point out Holly acted quickly on a Sunday night to put on the offer on our house . Her quick action made a difference from the beginning through the closing process . We are very happy with our experience and will always recommend Northstar Agency and Holly Beam to our friends .
Katie Naruns was a delight to work with. She had extensive knowledge about the neighborhood we were interested in, as well as the home we were interested in, and that helped us make a more informed decision with regard to our purchase. Katie was very accommodating to our requests and the whole process from contract to closing was quick and easy. I will certainly recommend Katie to all my friends who are looking to purchase a home in the area.
I had the pleasure of working with two (2) very professional and committed Real Estate agents ( Georgia Naruns-Janas and Kirby Bryan) to sell our home in Venetian Isles. They both took on the challenge of taking charge in updating items inside and outside of the home. They displayed dedication throughout the process of listing, marketing and selling our home.
So happy with the decision to hire Katie and Amelia!Their experience impacted our process: During our first meeting they identified some easy fixes that didnt cost much but helped with the sale process, while advising against some more expensive projects I was considering. The price they recommended was spot on, and generated a lot of activity quickly, leading to a contract within the first 2 weeks.Trusted Advisers: Even if everything went perfectly, I would have been glad to have these two as advisers, but even more so when we had unique situations pop-up with the buyers. Their advise on our counter offer saved us money and helped me rest easy; but the big impact was when the walk through came and it turned out that movers damaged the wood floors without my knowledge... Understandably the buyers were upset and wanted it to be fixed, and I was disappointed in the blunder; but Katie and Amelia were on phone getting quotes, meeting contractors at the home and ended up saving the deal with a result everyone was happy with.I know this review is turning into a book, but all of the detail is to try to communicate that this team has the not-so-common combination of skill, drive and genuine concern for people that makes me confident in recommending them so they can impress you as they have me.
Buying a house during a pandemic sight unseen could have been a challenge if it wasn’t for Georgia’s incredible guidance and support through the whole process. She was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process often answering our questions before we knew to ask. I cannot recommend her more!
Northstar, and their team of Katie Mallah and Amelia Bayne helped make the sale of our home a smooth process. They quickly outlined selling price ranges, doable improvements and what to expect in the process. Open houses and showings were frequent, and Katie was very responsive to all questions. Very professional and responsible team.
McKenzie Davidson is the absolute best! She communicated professionally and really worked hard for me. She kept me updated through every phase of our search. She showed up early for every one of our appointments and truly listened to understand what I wanted. I highly recommend McKenzie!
We use to think there was not much difference from one real estate agent to another. But as we became more involved with buying and selling real estate in multiple states, we soon realized the criticality of hiring the premier agent in the area. Premier agent being defined by one who is: ethical, highly knowledgeable, heavily networked and invested in the community, the most successful veteran in the field proven by their sales record, and passionate about what they do and hence work tirelessly to get the job done. In the Saint Petersburg and surrounding areas, hands down, the premier agent to go with is Peggy Naruns. We interviewed Peggy as we did not know her and she became the obvious choice as she exuded all the traits above. And most importantly, she delivered, selling our property in 4 days! We highly recommend Peggy Naruns, and her agency, Northstar Realty, and wouldn’t use anyone else besides her and Northstar in future transactions.
Absolutely terrible experience with this agency. In an attempt to find a rental home for a corporate relocation from Atlanta, I found a home on NorthStars website. After a few email exchanges, I decided to submit my application. The agency let me know that I was first in line for the home since my application was submitted first. Within 12 hours of that email, I let the agent know I would take the home. Two days passed and the realtor let me know that the home was rented to someone else, that was able to see it. Never did the agency reach out to me, despite having the first right of refusal, to let me know that physically being on property was a requirement to rent the home. I could have easily submitted a deposit, signed a lease virtually, and flown down within 24 hours. This is a truly unprofessional agency.
Georgia and Kirby are the BEST! They have been our go-to realtors for years and I have always received the highest level of care and attention. They are professional, kind, ethical and know this city better than anyone! Highly recommend this company! Thanks for everything!
My wife and I recently purchased our first home in St. Petersburg, FL. Ms. Naruns was a powerful advocate for us, guiding us through the process, helping us to ask the right questions, and negotiating effectively on our behalf. She really took the time to get to know us - her knowledge of neighborhoods and recommendations were spot on, and we are quite happy in our new home!
On Wednesday August 29th, Jake showed my home. I watched from down the street and do have camera footage of what transpired since after I arrived home I found the damage. My garage door did not work and the side door to the garage was locked(which I never lock). I did not have a key to get in so I had to call a locksmith to come out. Once inside the garage, I discovered all electricity had been shut off so of course the garage door wouldnt open. After turning it back on I found that the garage door still did not open. I called a garage door company who came out to take a look........more trouble, more expense. Once the technician got her he quickly found the issue which was the fact that Jake had put the lock bar in place manually on the door. Unbelievable. All of this cost me $198.Bottom line is the fact that Jake will not take responsibility for doing any of this and in fact told my Realtor she was harassing him about it. REALLY? My inconvenience and expense does not seem to matter to Jake. Maybe he should go back for more education in leaving things the way he found them as well as a class in HONESTY and ETHICS. Obviously an MBA doesnt teach that. BEWARE of Northstar Realty and specifically Jacob.
Peggy, the broker at Northstar Realty, did a wonderful job selling my house. She understands the market and can make recommendations accordingly. After making adjustments according to her recommendations, the house sold in 2 days. I highly recommend her...you wont be disappointed!

2022-08-23We were moving from Kansas City to Florida and had the pleasure of working remotely with Yvonne. She went above and beyond and took her time to answer questions, often traveling quite a distance to go see homes for us. She would show us the homes via video chats and took her time to explain the homes and pointing out negatives as well as positives of each property. Yvonne was very responsive to our questions and needs and was so much fun to work with. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Northstar Realty to anyone! Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

2022-03-30Yvonne Setley from Northstar Realty was the best find in Florida. We undertook our search for our dream vacation home with a great deal of skepticism that we could find anything we liked in this hot real estate market. Yvonne’s skill and professionalism put our minds at ease. Her kindness and shared enthusiasm for our new home meant the world to my husband Rick and me. We were seeking a skilled realtor and found a wonder friend.

2022-08-08Chuck and Lauren were excellent through the entire home buying process! Very attentive to any questions I had. I highly recommend Northstar Realty and will definitely use them for future real estate needs in the Florida area. I was coming from out of state and they really were helpful with all my relocation questions.

2022-03-23The absolute best! We moved from out of state in the middle of the school year and had so many unknowns! Georgia, Kirby, Lauren and the Northstar team are consummate professionals and made our transition seamless. Their communication and attention to detail coupled with local market knowledge were vital to securing our family’s dream home. You won’t find a more capable real estate team that comes close. As lucky as we are to call this place home - We hit the lottery with Northstar.

2021-07-26I had a wonderful experience selling my home with Northstar! Georgia Janas was our agent and went above and beyond at every single opportunity. Georgia helped us to get a contract on our home in less than a week.She was incredibly knowledgeable and spent so much time answering questions, providing feedback and giving us referrals. She assisted with every single part of the process and made the entire process so much easier.Georgia and the entire Northstar team made us feel like we were their only client. Their customer service simply cannot be beat!

2020-08-10Being a first time home buyer trying to purchase a home during a pandemic is a strange experience for everyone involved, but The Mallah/Bayne team was so helpful and organized that it made the grueling process enjoyable. They set up viewings around our schedule, brought great homes to our attention, kept constant communication, which was great since we had tons of questions, and answered every off the wall question we had with a smile. Once we finally found our dream home, Katie handled the negotiations, inspections and closing with such knowledge and confidence. For anyone looking to purchase a home in the St Petersburg area and wants an agent that is extremely tied in and can make the process fun and enjoyable, we would highly recommend Katie and Amelia.

2021-10-26We had a wonderful experience with Northstar Realty. Our agent, Katie Mallah managed the sale of our home on the water and also helped us find the perfect townhome that meets our needs perfectly. She knew what we needed even before we knew. Her wisdom and guidance through the whole process was truly professional and we would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home in the future.

2020-12-10Alan at Northstar was remarkable. He sold our condo within hours. He was energetic and since he lives in the condo community he was passionate about the benefits of the condo and location. Lauren made the process flow smoothly. She is very organized and seems to be available 24/7. Her responsiveness instantly relieved any concerns we had during the process. Bottom line is that we quickly got top dollar for our condo and the closed without any issues.
