Friendly and Gracious

“Kim Brereton did an excellent job assisting us in buying and then selling a house in North Port, FL.  Both transactions were done long distance from Washington state.  All during the transactions we always felt very comfortable that we had a very proficient real estate professional protecting our financial interests.  We believe because of Kim’s guidance and negotiating skills that we got fair purchase and selling prices for the house.  Kim worked extra hours making sure all the detail issues were resolved quickly.  Kim has a very friendly and gracious personality that made it a joy to work with her.  Because of all these things, Kim was an excellent agent for us.  We definitely recommend her!”


Jerry & Judi Carter, Seabeck, WA

In tune with the Market

“My family purchased a home through Kim Brereton this past Fall.   Kim was a great asset in finding and researching a home that met our needs.  I felt Kim was very in tune with the Market and I trusted her insight.  I would recommend Kim to anyone, really enjoyed having her as an agent and would use her again in a future real estate transaction!”

Larry de Andrade, Florida

Efficient

“Kim is well mannered and efficient and has worked hard for us. I thoroughly recommend her.”

Andy  Gemmell-Smith,  Brighton, UK

Excellent Service

“My wife and I live in the UK, and wanted to sell our three plots of vacant land in Florida.  We knew little about the sales process in the USA, so Kim explained it to us, and right up front gave us accurate cost estimates for all fees and other deductions from the sale proceeds. She found buyers for all three plots within a few months, then guided us through the negotiations, and made it easy for us to complete the closing documentation. Everything was done by email, and we were very happy throughout the process. Thank you for excellent service, Kim.”

Chris & Marie Buckley, Surrey, UK

“My husband and I live in Michigan and have had the opportunity to work with Kim Brereton on the sale and/or purchase of 3 Florida properties. We were lucky enough to find her when we sold my mother in law’s home several years ago, a sale that proved to be very, very difficult in the end. Kim went way above and beyond what was required of her on that closing day, handling an intense situation with the buyers and doing it alone, as we were already back up north by then.

Several months later, we decided to buy a condo in the Cape Haze area, so we once again called on Kim, who found us the most incredible property at the most incredible price, it seriously may have been history making!! Because our time in Florida was limited, she worked tirelessly to show us as many properties as possible in just a few short hours, and we are very grateful for the find she made for us. We recently bought a 3rd property, yet another great deal found for us by Kim, something we were mostly able to accomplish long distance, and we couldn’t be happier with her commitment to a stellar level of service!”

Outstanding Service and Professionalism

“My wife and I purchased our townhouse condo through the diligent help from Kim Brereton with Tarpon Realty back in 2013.  Our original realtor and company flopped. Kim came recommended by a friend and jump right in at the last minute to help us.  Working with Kim was amazing.  She gets things done in a quick and efficient manner. She is very personable and easy to work with. We love the Punta Gorda, Florida second home she help find for us, so it’s no surprise that when we decided to make Florida our permanent residence, finding our new home would not be possible without using Kim once again. You can tell she has a lot of experience in this field because she guided us through the buying process in a challenging market. Her outstanding service and professionalism is so refreshing and very much welcome as we began the search for our last home, the one we would retire in. I HIGHLY recommend KIM. I seriously cannot recommend her enough – I’ve had the experience of being on both sides of the coin (buying and selling) multiple homes over the past ten years, I can truly say Kim is fantastic at everything and when it comes to buying or selling a home.”

Kim & Chris Rogers, Texas

Good listener and very helpful

She was our “eyes”

Accommodating & Knowledgable

“I highly recommend Kim Brereton!  We kept her very busy in finding just the right home for our family…we had many items on our wish list!  Among many wonderful attributes as a realtor, Kim was always so accommodating with her time since our schedule was pretty limiting.  She was so knowledgeable and we really appreciated how patient she was throughout the entire process.  We never felt rushed or pressured to choose in any direction.  Most importantly, we just felt that Kim genuinely cared about helping our family find the perfect home.  We definitely made a friend in the process.  Thanks Kim!”

Went out of her way

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Kim Brereton to sell a lot in Florida. She was very
professional and was willing to assist me every step. She even went out of her way to contact a list
of the prospective buyers I asked to check out. She helped me sell the lot within a little over 10
days, and I am very happy with her. Thank you, Kim.”

Mayumi Hudgins, Rhode Island

Kind and patient

“Kim was wonderful to work with through both buying and selling our home in Florida. When we purchased over 10 years ago she showed us many houses until we found the perfect one and got us through all the ins and outs of purchasing in Florida while living in PA. When we made the decision to return to PA, we turned again to Kim for our Realtor and she sold our house for full asking price within a week of listing it. She is very kind and patient with anxious clients like myself and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling properties. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a Realtor.”

Pat and Jim Dunn, Pennsylvania

Professional

“Kim is the best realtor agent, my husband and I are greatful on how professional, fast and effective
Kim was. Kim kept us informed and checked in often to see our needs were being met. We appreciate the opportunity to work with Kim, I certainly learned a lot, thanks for your patience.”

Linda Tieu, Colorado

Pleasure

“It was a real pleasure from beginning to end having Kim work for my wife and I on finding just the right lot we were looking for. With the automatically updated feed of MLS listing data that matched specifically what we were looking for, to the negotiation of the contract, thru the title process until closing and keeping us informed all along the process. My wife and I could not be happier and plan on using Kim in any and all future real-estate purchases or sales of our properties.”

Warren And Sharon Watters, Florida

Daniel O’Connor

Fully recommend Kim

“I fully recommend Kim as realtor. She is an excellent professional and she helps you during all
steps of negotiation.”

Mariano Roca,

Courteous service

“Kim sold two adjoining lots in Port Charlotte, Florida, that had been in my family for over sixty years. My husband and I had almost lost hope of ever selling them, especially when we received word that they were located in “Scrub Jay” territory, which at the time meant that they could never be developed. But we continued to receive offers from property developers, so we decided to retain the services of a real estate agent familiar with the area and the market. Kim was recommended to us; and could not have given us more professional, courteous service, even though this was a small sale by Florida standards. She got the lots sold for a better price than we had originally thought possible. My husband and I would strongly recommend her to anyone wishing to sell property in her area.”

Carol Lambert

No Pressure whatsoever

“Kim, has been such a pleasure to work with. She knew what we were interested in and went above and beyond to help us find a home in the area we were interested in. She puts no pressure whatsoever on during the search process. She is patient and pleasant and very helpful in getting information for you. Even though we were in a different state the closing and all the details went very smoothly.
Thank you so much Kim”
Neil & Gwen Kray, Michigan

Enjoyed working with Kim

“I really enjoyed working with Kim. Buying a home and going through the process long distance
could be stressful, but Kim’s experience and knowledge really helped make the process very
smooth. Her local knowledge and enthusiasm to step in and make things happen was invaluable. I cannot express how grateful I am that I had Kim on my team!”

Virginia Bremer, Massachusetts

Stress-free

“It was so stress-free having Kim as our agent. Her knowledge, guidance and professionalism was extraordinary. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. Will definitely use her in the future.”

I highly recommend Kim!  She always kept in contact with me and I sold my house above the price that other realtors rated it.

True professional

“Working with Kim is a real joy,  She is a very hard worker and a true professional.  She helped me obtain  the house of my dreams and I know she can do the same for you.

Great experience

“Overall had a great experience with Kim on our purchase. It took quite a bit of time to find a house but she kept at it. Very professional and communication was always there. Thank you.”

Rich Neuberg,

Proficient in getting us information

“Kim was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional and proficient in getting us information we needed in our mutual effort of bringing a home sale to closing. I would definite recommend any customers I have looking for a home in the Punta Gorda-Port Charlotte area.”

Ann Drennan,  Broker Assoc., Florida

Professional, Patient, and Persistent

“I worked with Kim Brereton in 2014 for many months before coming to terms on the home I eventually chose and bought on Palm Island, off the West Coast of Florida. Kim was professional, patient, and persistent in providing me with every opportunity to see as many properties as possible and to acquaint myself as fully as necessary with the region. She developed elaborate and challenging itineraries, day after day and trip and trip, coordinating careful and efficient scheduling among the various agents with whom we worked. At no point did Kim put any pressure on me to rush the process or to make a decision before I was ready, even though it took a protracted period of time to find what I was looking for and then even longer to close the deal. Because I was a long-distance buyer, Kim graciously fielded tasks that should have fallen to me but which I was unable to attend to from afar. She also provided me with references and contact information for first rate services and experienced local contractors who helped me set up my new home. Throughout the process of searching for, finding, coming to terms and closing on my new home, Kim was available at every turn to make sure that my goal of finding the ideal home in the perfect location was realized. I’ve recommended Kim to several prospective buyers already and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone searching for a home. A better agent and advocate and ultimately friend could not be found!  

 Elizabeth Harlan, New York

Kim earned our confidence

“Taking our decision of “having to sell” was the tough one. However, when it came to the selection of a realtor, Kim Brereton made this decision stress-free having easily bested the other two (different agency) brokers interviewed as well. Truly a Best-Of-Three winner. Kim earned our confidence from day-one given her comfortable, yet direct when needed, mannerism. She listens patiently, a rare skill in todays rapid-paced society. Her ability throughout the sale process to coach our expectations proved to be invaluable. The initiation of necessary communications keeping us on track, between Kim’s (affiliated) Agency and our closing attorney, appeared effortless. In summary, we heartily endorse Kim for your buying or selling property needs.Professional acquaintanceship’s may come and go. Friendship is a longer-lasting commitment; one we have struck up with Kim, and look to maintain long after our process of downsizing into a nearby cottage. Many thanks Kim.”
