Katie and Amelia were extremely resorsueful in finding a home we loved and a smoothe closing. They did not skip a beat the entire process. We are greatful to them and the Northstar team for our beautiful home!

We've 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 Amelia's 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 wouldn't want to buy or sell a house in St. Pete without Katie and Amelia to assist.

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 NorthStar's 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.

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 didn't 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.

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.
