David Ferrara was very pleasant to work with and found us our dream home!!!! Highly recommended! Thank you for a pleasant experience! In this market it was very difficult, but they made it happen! -

Joe and his team were great. They were there every step of the way throughout the entire process of selling our home. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. -

We were pleased with Joseph and the Team. They did an excellent job getting our home on the market and corresponding though the process. We would strongly recommend them to our friends and family! -

As a first-time home buyer, I found out pretty quickly that buying a home is not an easy process, but working with David Ferrara and his team made it as easy as could be! Communication was easy with all questions answered in a timely manner. Because of David and his team, we were able to find and secure the perfect house for me and my family! We will definitely work with David again when we move again in the future. -

We enjoyed the experience and Joseph and his team made an excellent deal on our behalf. Joseph, Amber and Jordann, thank you for a fantastic home selling experience! Joseph is extremely personable and is very knowledgeable. He was very dedicated throughout the entire process. He was always quick to return calls, texts, and emails, and worked diligently to connect with prospective buyers. I would definitely recommend working with Joseph! -

Where do I begin. The "A" team is what you will have the privilege of working with. My first impression of Joe Kipping was very passionate, motivated and confident about what he does and highly knowledgeable about the current Market trends. Joe and his team got our home sold in 3 days of showing. Always kept us in the loop with the updates on the buyers process.He and his team is definitely the one you should choose to sell or buy your home. They make the process so hassle free and seamless that you would not feel any stress of the process. I highly recommend them and I can't even pen down how many I have already told about him in person. Thank you for everything. You ROCK!! -

We worked with David Ferrara to purchase our Florida home. We were selling our home in Michigan, and once it sold the clock started ticking on securing the home in Florida. David was always patient and made sure to get us in, as quickly as possible, to see homes virtually. We were never able to come to see a home in person, and weren't familiar with the areas, but David was so honest and forthright that we knew we could trust him. He never let us down and felt like a trusted friend or family member. The experience with him was by far the best we have ever experienced and this was my 4th home purchase. He has even been helpful with resources after the closing of our home. Christina Kipping also was a great help to us as she had showed us a home when David wasn't able to and then worked quickly and efficiently to get every offer we made together in a moment's notice. She was very straightforward with where we would need to come in at for a strong offer. Her suggestions are what finally got us the accepted offer on the home of our dreams. Jordann Richards made sure that our transaction was absolutely seamless and came together in the time we needed. He made sure that we were able to close on the date needed. The Joseph Kipping Tampa Bay Home Team is really a "team." They are all there to support wherever, whenever, needed. In a market like the one we are in, you can't afford to be waiting to hear back from your realtor. These folks are all hands on deck. You will not experience any delays, or missed opportunities, if you select this team. Also, you may not only purchase a new home but end up with a good friend that you can reach out to after the fact. -

We were selling our home from 1000 miles away and Joe and Amber were there every step of the way. Everything was handled. Even when our tenants wanted no in person showings due to covid they found a way to make sure people were able to virtually walkthrough. The sale was quick and the closing was smooth. Good group of people over there. They will take care of you. Have them list your home and you won't be disappointed. -

Professional, Knowledge of the Market and Customer Support. No box unchecked! Working with this Team was the best decision. They made selling property simple and efficient, and took the dread out of the process. Thanks to Joe, Amber and their entire Team, we had a smooth Sale. :) -

One of the reasons I chose Joseph Kipping Tampa Bay Home Team to market my property is because I actually had a team of three working on the sale of my property - Joe, his wife, Christina, and administrative assistant, Amber. I appreciated their use of technology to keep me informed of all developments concerning the marketing and subsequent sale of my property, and I especially appreciated that they were also available via phone to answer any questions I had. After initial contact with Joe, he promptly went out to my property to inspect and called to let me know there were a couple minor repair items to address before starting the marketing process. That was particularly valuable to me, given that I am located on the other coast. Joe and his team sold my property very quickly, and created a very smooth experience from contract to closing. I especially enjoyed working with Amber. She was extremely efficient, pleasant to work with, and always responded quickly to my communications. -

We recently sold our home through Joe, Amber and the Tampa Bay Home Real Estate Team and the experience was simply phenomenal. With their extensive market research and within the first 30 minutes of visiting the property Joe was able to provide an expected sale price, approximate date for getting an offer and closing and all those expectations were met without any surprises. We got the offer in first month and closed in the second. Joe and his team were always available, just a phone call away, to answer all our questions throughout the process which made the experience so much less stressful. This was our first experience selling a house and we wanted to have someone who had our back and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a 5 start experience – hands down. We will not be going to anyone else for our future real estate needs and would highly recommend the Tampa Bay Home Real Estate to anyone looking to buy/sell property. -
EricMarriaga4
Joe and his team were such a pleasure to work with. They were extremely friendly, professional, and have a process that makes the selling process quick and easy for top dollar. All team members did a great job of communicating with me throughout the process. They were on top of things and helped get things done quickly from items needed post-inspection and so forth. Since I live outside of the area, they made my life easier by coordinating the service needed by local companies for quality work at a fair and reasonable price. I would highly recommend Joe and his team if you want your property sold. -
texanmarktailgate
I wish more agents were like Joe and his team. No need to pay 5 to 6% commission. Joe can structure a commission rate of around 3.5 to 4%. Joe along with his wife and Amber, his office manager, keeps everything moving along throughout the process. Our house had plenty of action and sold very quickly at appraisal. He was responsive with helping us through the Four Point Inspection drama. When it was decided we needed to replace the roof he helped get a great roofer. The roofer he recommended was $3 to $6K cheaper than the other 3 bids. My advice if you are selling in Tampa Bay: call Joe for a meeting. Also, if your roof is older than 10 years old it will probably need to be replaced. The insurance companies are that picky and buyers do not want old roofs. -
Deedee5592
Wonderful, smooth experience. Joseph was very attentive and knowledgeable. Always returned calls promptly. Would 100 percent recommend His assistant, Amber, is so sweet and calm. She keep the wheels turning and all deadlines were met Would definitely recommend -

The Keller Team is a STELLAR team!!! I explained what house I wanted, they helped me find it within the first day of showing me properties. Hours later, we went to [contract ], then went through a smooth mortgage process, and a few short weeks, I was planting flowers in my new front yard. LOL. All thanks to a well organized and knowledgeable company, the "Joseph Kipping Tampa Bay Home Team"! A special thanks to all, there are not enough stars to express how awesome everyone and their services are. -
dcolucci10
Sold my home the 1st day. Joe's team was excellent from the start. Responded to calls very quickly. Very professional group, stunning pictures of home on line. They were on time or early for appointments. Top notch service from a discount realtor. -
rachelle bianco
Joe and his team are knowledgeable, efficient and easy to work with. They made the home selling and buying process very simple for us. Joe’s knowledge of the area and understanding of our needs allowed us to find our forever home. We would recommend Joe and his team to everyone. -
claribelcruz13
We recently purchase our new home in Orlando and there are no words to describe how pleased we are for having Mr.Nicolas Fernandez as our agent. He turned the home hunting experience an awesome one. We are 100% satisfied in all aspects. -
doublehw1
We would definitely recommend Joe Kipping Tampa Bay Home Team. They made our selling process a positive experience by always keeping us informed whether it was good and/or not so good news. The team is quick to respond with any questions we had and they were not afraid to offer suggestions and/or possible solutions. It felt great knowing that Joe Kipping Tampa Bay Home Team had our backs and was really working for us. Thank you Joe, Amber, Christina and the rest of Tampa Home Team! -
htarcher3
We were extremely impressed with Joe and his team. From the beginning, joe and his team was extremely professional and helpful. We were very impressed with the photo shoot that the team arranged......afterwards, I was very confident that Joe & his team was going to sell this house; and sure enough, eighteen days later, we had an offer on our home!!! Job well done! -
zuser20170706101157007
Bottom line: Joe and his are awesome! Sold our house during a global pandemic. My house was listed for six months with another realtor, but then I switched over to Joe. His team updated the listing with professional photography and videos, which made a huge difference. Then the offers started flowing in... again during a pandemic! Within 3 months house was sold! Best part is that Joe’s fee is the lowest you’ll find, which means more money in your pocket at closing! -
awurr6
Joe and his team are exceptional! They did a fantastic job listing and selling my home in a quick, efficient manner. They also assisted with the purchase of two other properties at the same time, coordinating the closings to all happen on the same day. What a great, professional, and friendly team. I highly recommend them. -

Great service! Sold our home without any difficulties. Joe is a professional and an experienced agent. He worked very hard by negotiating and selling our home without too much effort from our part. Alex -

I was looking for an agent that was experienced, professional and savvy with the latest sales tools and online technology. Joe and Christina were exactly that. With the great support and courtesy of there office rep, Amber, I had a wonderful sales experience that was very quick and worry free. Thank you team! -

Joe helped us sell our home and provided the latest technology trends to include Mattersport and a professional stager to help us prep for pictures and showings. -
nkridel16
We've worked with a lot of agents in the past (family included) . nothing compares to the level of professionalism, care, knowledge, and attention to detail that Joe and Christina bring to the table.. They have many many clients, but treated us like we were the only ones in the world... "Responsive" is an understatement.. My husband and I are thrilled either our purchase and will absolutely be working with Joe and Christina again in the future. -
emspringhill
Joe and his team did a great job. We chose Joe because when I challenged what he could do he was totally honest and well versed in his craft. He delivered as promised and MORE. The team always kept us well informed and up to date with the status of our sale. We will only use Joe and his team for all our future real estate transactions in Florida. Thank you Joe,Christina and Amber. -
BARBARA9501
Joe was a great help in selling our home. We tried at first to sell it ourselves without any offers. Joe's suggestions and his help in making those things happen was key to getting the house sold. He was forthright and to the point about what we needed to do while also being very helpful in all aspects. He was also very quick to respond to all our questions. Thanks Joe, for getting the job done. -
Ckershbaum
What a great team. I was skeptical about listing my home just before Christmas, but Joe assured me there were many serious buyers looking for homes despite the upcoming holiday. After tweaking a few things, they listed my home with beautiful photos and a wonderful drone tour. Immediately, an open house was scheduled and I began receiving messages each time a prospective buyer was to see the property. Within ten days I had a signed contact above listing price, and we went to settlement a few weeks thereafter. Joe and his team kept me up to date daily. They were super competent and a delight to work with. I would highly recommend them and not hesitate to request their services the next time I sell a property. -

Joseph Kipping and his team helped our family buy a new construction home this year - our first home! I could not recommend this team enough. They are amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them! The entire construction process was crazy but the Tampa Bay Home Team made sure we always had the latest updates from the builder and were there for us for the many, many questions we had. They are super reliable, extra communicative, and treated us like family. This is not some ordinary real estate team. They truly care about their clients and we highly recommend working with them if you’re looking to buy/sell a home! -
Philip Krigbaum
We received contact from several real estate agents asking for our business, but from the start Joe caught our attention. He sold himself as well as he sold our home. We went through the process of preparation to sell and listing in very turbulent times due to the onset of COVID-19. Joe was willing to change direction in our plan to ensure we sold in the wisest and most cost effective manner. We decided to live in the house until it was finished by making required changes and upgrades, and then offer it at the right price point. Joe was expert in his advice and assistance all through the process. His knowledge, and contacts were pivotal to our getting the house ready and finishing touches through closing. When we finally finished staging and put the house on the market, it had two offers above our asking price within two days! Joe and his staff then helped us get through the rest of the process to closing through tireless effort. We shall always be grateful to him and his staff for a job well done. I would certainly seek out Joe if I ever plan another real estate deal and will give him the highest recommendation to anyone seeking an agent. -
e8tobe
Mr Joseph Kipping, is the go to person in the Tampa Bay Area if you are looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks Joe for everything you did for my family. Joe was always available, spent the extra hours to get everything right, and use the latest and greatest technology to showcase your property. If your in the market for something new highly recommend you go with Joseph Kipping. -
Robert Holbert
Joe helped me buy my first home in Tampa. Working with him was a pleasure start to finish. I've always been one who has looked through listings myself and found what I wanted but Joe quickly learned what I liked/disliked and found the home I ended up in for me, getting me in the morning it hit the market. I would happily recommend him / use him in the future for any real estate needs. -

Joe Kipping and his team at Keller Williams gave us truly exceptional service in selling our home (actually an investment property) in New Port Richey, and I would like to encourage people to give him and his team your serious consideration. I did quite a bit of research on agents in the Tampa area before selecting him and saw very few who received the level of accolades as he did. To be honest, there was one other team (at ReMax) which had a larger number of positive reviews, so I initially went down the path of starting to work with them, but quickly became disillusioned by their mediocre service (paired with exceptionally high commissions, and no direct contact with the team leaders, who I believe only focus on the higher-end properties while handing off everything else to others). Joe, in contrast, provided a level of service I had NEVER experienced before from other realtors. After our initial phone conversation (which was pleasant while being to the point), he started by creating a recording of him explaining our property’s Comparative Market Analysis via video clip, walking me through the sales comps, and explaining how he arrived at the recommended asking price. Wow! I was able to show it later to my wife when it fit her schedule. BTW, his analysis was slightly higher than that of the other team and was almost EXACTLY what we were able to get. Thanks to a bad set of final tenants, the house needed some major cleaning and minor rehab (about $5k total), for which I had found my own contractor. I later regretted not having asked Joe to help with that, as I ended up needing additional work done, and he was able to direct me to excellent and reasonably priced contractors. He also noticed some other minor things that could use touch-ups, and he was willing to go the extra mile to look for and purchase them at Home Depot (giving them to the contractor to install). This really impressed me. He also helped us assure the contractors did a decent job. He added value by making a number or recommendations, including getting the empty house “staged” with furniture to maximize the visual appeal and hasten the sale, which we ultimately decided to do. He identified an excellent professional charging a reasonable price. We got multiple offers and accepted a contract within 3 days of putting it on the market! Joe continued being helpful throughout the pre-closing process, including communicating with the settlement agency and the firm we hired to handle the “1031 exchange” on capital gains. He made our lives easy, and it was a genuine pleasure to work with him. I just wish we had more properties in the area so that we could work with Joe and his team again in the future! -
Mkiernan909
We sold our house during the Covid 19 crisis, which could have been difficult. With Joe, Kristi and their team it basically a breeze. Our house was listed on MLS on a Saturday the following Saturday we had our offer. -
jkrohn71
We can't say enough great things about our experience with Joe and Christina. Selling a home is stressful enough, selling right in the height of Covid is a next level! Joe's assurances and professional guidance settled our nerves and provided confidence this was going to get done and we were in the right hands. In the end our house was sold in great time and at the price we were hoping... all the way we felt comfortable Joe always represented our best interests. If you have an opportunity to work with Joe and Christina you will not be disappointed. A+, thanks guy! -
lissy2011
Excellent experience !! Our house sold in 5 days with him. We had it in the market for almost two with another agent but as soon as Joe stepped in we sold the house. Very responsive and knowledgeable about the market. We will definitely do business with him again. -
jglojuch
My wife and I couldn’t be happier that we found Joe and Christina and the Tampa Bay Home Team! We had listed our house two years earlier, and were on the market for 10 months with no movement. The approach that Joe and Christina take is so different and refreshing. The photos and drone footage was second to none. The website for our house made it stand out so much more than we had hoped. They are responsive, honest, and hard working. Our house sold in 1 month and that wasn’t a fluke. I credit it to Joe, Christina, and their team. You can’t go wrong hiring them for your real estate needs in Tampa Bay! A+ ,100 percent! -
Patricia Hair
What a great experience we had with Joe & Christina Kipping & The Tampa Bay Home team! We signed with them to sell our home in Florida. The sign went up the very next day, pictures were scheduled, an open house set for 2 days later and our home was listed! They were very professional and moved quickly. Even before our listing went live, an offer came in! And then 2 more offers after that! We couldn't be happier with the service we received from the whole team. Throughout the process they were available immediately when we would call or text! We've bought and sold many homes over the years and this has by far been the best experience we have had. Thank you so much Joe, Christina & Heather! -
user5936115
I had my property previously listed with another firm/agent. I was not impressed with their service so when I had my first contact with Joe & his team, what a difference it made. The photos he took of the property, including from a drone, showed the property at it's absolute best. Because is was undeveloped lakefront property, that made quite a bit if difference. Joe's team was in contact frequently and always made sure I was up to date and that if I had questions they were being addressed. Because of unusual circumstances (on my part), it was not a straightforward transaction, but Joe & his team really made sure that they did whatever I was asking, even if it made things harder on them. I would highly recommend Joseph Kipping & the Tampa Bay Home Team. -
Audrey Hopkins
We highly recommend Joe Kipping. He came highly recommended by a friend of ours because of his knowledge and expertise, and we appreciate it! He is an excellent agent. First he walked through our property and made excellent suggestions. Suggestions that would never have occurred to us. He loaned us his power washer to power wash the outside of the house. We followed his suggestions, and it paid off. Next, he contracted with a professional photographer who took many excellent pictures. The listing had 40 superb pictures. Some of the pictures were taken from above with a drone. There were several homes that were selling at the same time--our pictures were by far the best. We had several initial bids within a few days of listing the property. When we had some complications, Joe recommended excellent companies to help us resolve the issues as we live out of state. Joe and his wife, Christina, were very quick to respond to our questions. Even though the selling price of our property was very modest compared to other properties, we were treated like our property was a million dollar property. We would definitely use Joe as our real estate agent again. He educated us through every step of the way which was very important to us as this is the first property we have ever sold. Thank you Joe and Christina!!! -
chrisntpa76
Thank you to the entire Tampa Bay Home Team and especially to Joe. I am very pleased with the help I received throughout he entire process. I had to unexpectedly move back to the U.K. and needed my home sold quickly. Joe immediately went to bat for me. Due to various issues that was not the fault of Joe or his team, the first two contracts didn’t make it to closing. Joe kept fighting and he same weekend he found out about the issues with the second contract was able to close with a backup offer at the same price as the 2nd offer. Despite having to go under contract 3 times, was still able to make it all the way through closing in around 60 days. The entire team kept me up to date on what was going on and made the process as seamless as possible considering the circumstances. I will definitely recommend Joe and the team to any friends/family who are looking to buy or sell. -
Tra Williams
So long as I live in and around the Tampa are, I will work only with Joe Kipping and the rest of The Tampa Bay Home Team when buying or selling a home. As a commercial real estate developer, I value time and transparency. Joe and his team have a well-crafted sales process that made selling our home effortless on our end. From timely text replies to weekly activity updates, there was never a time when I wasn't 100% informed. The photos and content of our listing were second to none and generated dozens of showings. Our waterfront home was built in 1958 which created unique hurdles that Joe masterfully overcame. In addition to the consummate professionalism, Joe, Blake and Heather were just all-around good people and were a pleasure to work with. I have known more than my share of residential agents who charge more and provide less. We received our first offer within days and our house was under contract within 5 weeks at 98% of our asking price. Simply put, you will not find a more dedicated team of real estate pros. I highly recommend their services to anyone. -
chadpacs33
Blake has been involved in every step of the way during our home construction. My wife and I have sold several homes in the past with other realtors, and have never had such a great experience! We would definitely recommend Blake to friends and family. Blake is very responsive, knowledgeable, and makes every effort to negotiate on behalf of his clients. -
tampaboytroy1967
Joseph Kipping was more professional than I could have asked for. Our house was pending in the first week. We were kept in the loop of all showings and anything that needed to take place by Joseph and director of operations Heather Parker. CHEERS! TO THE TAMPA BAY HOME TEAM. -
ninarossi59
I found an add on the computer called and got Joseph as an agent. Very happy and satisfied he was professional helpful and listening to our needs regarding the sale of our rental condo. All of the team was helpful answering questions and concerns. We will recommend Joseph Kipping and his team to our friends in Florida. GREAT JOB!!!! -
zuser20140909122350436
If you want your house sold and sold fast I highly recommend Joseph Kipping. He was always readily available to answer all my questions and the process was smooth and easy.... I am 100% satisfied with The Tampa Bay Home Team and you will be too! -
Eric Mader
Craig was a bulldog for us. Our sale was a VERY tough transaction due to numerous moving parts and problems. The sale ffinallybwent through after significant issues that Craig handled aptly and professionally. Hire him if you want the best. -
gcvfly
We originally first heard from Craig after we had a contract fall through on our home. When we met with Craig we told him that we had a contract to purchase our dream home. In order for us to purchase that home we needed our current home to sell. Craig was able to compose a plan that helped us sell our home in 2 days and close in 2 weeks. Everything Craig told us would happen not only happened it happened more quickly than he told us it would. Our family is forever grateful and would look forward to the next chapter in our new way home. If you find yourself needing real estate help or services I highly recommend reaching out to Craig. -
preciousmoments9759
Very quick response to any inquiry we had. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Painless process. Would recommend Mr Kipping to anyone who wants honesty, knowledge and a personal touch. -
sigmonmaryann
We sold our house that we had lived in for 36 years, and they all were very patient with us, as we were new with this process. Blake was very helpful with all of our questions and requests, and a pleasure to work with. Joe and his team worked hard, even when Hurricane Irma put a dent in one of the sales, they picked right back up and our house was sold within a month. Thank you for your hard work! -
zuser20160610162331521
Joe Kipping both listed/sold our home within 1 month and is in the process of assisting us purchasing a new home. Since Joe Kipping is very knowledgeable on the community in Palm Cove in Wesley chapel. We believe that helped in selling our property. Joe's Team was very responsive with emails and phone calls when necessary. -
zuser20171112143615696
I'm an agent with KW who did a recent deal with Joe and his team, they were a very professional group to work with and all parties left the table happy. I look forward to my next transaction with Joe and his team. -
lcmccarthy35
Joe and his team was recommended to me from others in the community. Once I looked him up, I realized I was already receiving great updates monthly in the mail from his team. He was extremely responsive, knew the area and community, and pushed for what I wanted to get for my home. His team did amazing pictures and video, which made me want to buy my home again! I would highly recommend him for anyone in the area. -
Leonel Gonzalez
Joe and his team are absolutely amazing when it comes to making my first home purchase a smooth and enjoyable experience! His entire team is professional, informative and simply easy to do business with! They are all very responsive to all forms of communication in an unbelievably timely manner! Earned my business for all future ventures! -

Knowledgeable and professional. Made selling our home very simple and stress free. Best of all the home was sold in five days. The staff worked with us closely once under contract responding to all of our questions very quickly. -
mgreen1215
My wife and I started working with Joe's team over a year ago when we first became interested in purchasing. The showed us a bunch of homes in the area we were targeting. Over those first weeks, they gained a very clear picture of the home that we were looking for. We put the home search on the back burner for a while, and they continued, at our request, to give us a call when something matching our needs came on the market. Last month they let us know of a home brand new to the market. Once we saw it we knew it was the perfect home for our family. Joe helped us craft an offer and negotiate with the seller. After that, it was smooth sailing. He introduced us to a trusted lender who was also fantastic. We had preconceived notions about how difficult and stressful a home purchase would be, but these guys made it painless. It was truly a pleasure start to finish, and we are thrilled with our new home! -
zuser20141008174452724
Joe, Nicole and Tammy were on the ball! I appreciate getting fast responses to emails, questions, and guiding us to "what is next" in the process of selling. Great to work with, organized and got our place sold in 2 weeks! THANK YOU! -

We first listed our house with another agent, nothing much happened. It was frustrating so we decided to take it off the market and take care of some pending medical proceedures that would prevent showing the house. Wow you'da thought we were the only house in the area by the hundreds of contacts from realtors. Phone messages, brochures, and lots of brag about how they could do better what the other guy failed to do. One day I came home to a box at my front door that got my attention, it was the only really classy contact from the hundreds of other attempts. It was from Craig, I opened it and called him and was immediately impressed with his moxie. We interviewed 4 agents and my wife and I both thought his marketing knowledge far superior to the others we interviewd and the hundreds we didn't. He didn't tell us what he thought we wanted to hear but rather, what would sell the house. In closing he asked us what we most wanted from an agent. We said sell the house in 30 days. We called him after talking it over and said let's go. His wife Kelli came over on the scheduled photo shoot and staged, supervised and helped edit the on line virtual tour. Honestly it showcased the house beyond its reality it was fantastic. We had 24 showings in 21 days and 2 offers. Then he gave us a referral to a fellow agent in Citrus County to help us find our retirement Villa and they did. Craig and Kelli helped coordinate the simultaneous closing with the lender, agent, buyer, and two title companies. They led communication and collaboration between folks wo didn't always play well in the same sand box. Craig and Kelli are truly skilled at what they do and I recommend them heartily. They sold the house in 30 days. -

Joe was excellent from the start. Our home had been on the market twice in the last couple of years with no luck. Joe brought in a home staging specialist who made a few simple suggestions that helped some of the great features of our home stand out even more. He was extremely responsive to all my questions and was available in a timely manner. Our home was under contract within 2 months and closed 1 month later. We were moving to South Tampa and did not want to rush into a bad decision so we worked with Joe to find a lot to build our new home. Joe was extremely helpful working with the current lot owner, the builder, the title company we were using as well as our bank. He coordinated everything because we were actually having 2 closings and we closed without a hitch. I highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone looking for a quality realtor. I have bought and sold several homes over the years and have never been treated more respectfully than Joe and his team treated me and my family. He was open and honest through this entire process and I will use him again in the future. -

I'm a first time home buyer. Adrian walked me through the entire process - from the point where I thought I knew what I wanted, to the end where I knowledgeably knew what I wanted. Every step of the way, he explained the features/details of each home (he used to sell appliances, so he can spot good brands or ones to avoid). Every week he would send me a list of about 10 homes that I could narrow down, so we could view the final picks over the weekend. When we viewed the newly constructed homes, he would grill the other sales agent with every imaginable question. He made sure I knew what was being offered. I never felt rushed to buy or that I was sale in any way. Adrian treated me like a friend and worked hard to make sure I got the home I love, comfortably within my price range. He even checks in to make sure that everything is going well. Once I'm settled in enough to have a party, he's definitely on the guest list!! -

Joe was absolutely wonderful to work with. He really made my husband and I feel comfortable as first time home buyers (we had a ton of questions that he was more than happy to answer for us). Both Joe and his assistant, Nicole, were committed to always being available whenever we needed anything and always got back to us quickly. Joe definitely listened to our wishlist for our first home because he found us the perfect house in no time at all and we couldn't be happier! I would recommend Joe to anyone who wants to work with a realtor who is knowledgeable and dedicated. We look forward to working with him in the future when it's time to purchase another property. -

Great buying experience from start to finish, even with a challenging seller. Both Craig and Kelli made the transition smooth and provided me with all the necessary resources from financing to the closing date. I love my home and could not have done it without those two. Great job, and I look forward to working with you guys in the future. -

My husband and I moved from CO to FL in 2016. Craig assisted me with information months before we arrived in FL. Once in FL, he and Kelli stayed in constant contact with me until we were ready to begin looking for our new home. Craig and Kelli know their real estate market extremely well and understood our needs by asking great questions and really listening to us. Once we found the home of our dreams, they connected us with a great lender and walked us through the entire process. It was such a pleasure working with them and we could not be more thrilled with our forever home. Thank you Craig and Kelli!!! -

These guys took my listing and immediately went to work. Showings quadrupled and they gave me an excellent result. They project managed the entire sales process. They were helpful during the close. I would recommend them to anyone who wants real professionals on the job. -

We trusted Craig and Kelly with our lives when we moved her from South Carolina and they made the Whole process smooth and put us in a wonderful area and home for me and my wife, they even went and did video tours for us so we wouldn't have to drive down and waste money on traveling back and forth multiple times... All in all they have a great team all around making sure all my docs. were in to insure the fastest closing on the house as possible!! -

As the "seller", what was in my best interest came first. I felt that Joe was really looking out for me during the entire transaction. I coulld not have picked a better team to work with. GREAT COMMUNICATION..... -
Nicole Gonzalez
My husband and I are in the process of planning to buy our first home. We were completely clueless as to where to start on this journey but Joe has been an absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable guide! He took the time to sit with us and explain all the steps we needed to take to start looking at homes. He even set us up with a lender to get pre-approved and see where we stand financially! With that, he was able to help us pinpoint neighborhoods in the areas that we are interested in living that would work for our price range. I don't feel so overwhelmed with the home-buying process anymore and we can't wait to start looking at homes with Joe! He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire Tampa Bay, is 100% honest with you about everything, and takes the time to really make sure that his clients are cared for. I know he'll make this entire journey an awesome one! -

My husband and I want to express our sincere gratitude to Joseph Kipping, President, Tampa Bay Home Team, Keller Williams Realty and his team consisting of his wife; his suggested mortgage team, VanDyk Mortgage; and his suggested contractor, FABA Cabinets and Such, LLC. We rate Joe and all his colleagues in an order of one to ten: 10*****! Joe's professionalism, genuine concern for our purchasing experience, and delivering the final product is extremely appreciated. All in all, my husband and I want to sincerely thank Joseph Kipping, President, Tampa Bay Home Team, Keller Williams Realty, for our phenomenal new home! -

My experience with Joseph has been a two-year experience. In 2014 he sold a property for me in the Brandon area within a 30-day time period assuring me that he could move that property. I was very worried that things would not work out, His reassurance and putting me in contact with the right people that would protect my best interest made this a very easy and a smooth transaction. Again in 2016 I notice a property that I became very interested in once again making contact with Joseph he made the transaction very smooth and putting me in contact with insurance companies mortgage companies and a variety of other companies that made things go very smoothly for me, thanks a lot to Joseph and his team especially Nicole who handled many of my phone calls. -
Leo Rodriguez
If you are looking for results, Joseph Kipping is the right realtor for the job. My house was under contract right away. He will go that extra Mile, to do what is required to get your property sold. High energy, honesty and knowledge, is what sets him apart from the rest. I will definitely be using his services again in the future. -

My family relocated from Nashville to Tampa. We began searching for a home, and one of the most difficult parts of that process is selecting the best realtor for the job. We went through 2 other realtors before we came across Craig and Kelli Kincheloe. First of all - they take time to get to know what you want as a buyer. In turn, they take care to locate homes that fit the mold of what you're looking for. Second, they are completely no pressure. One of the realtors we let go was very pushy to get in, buy a home, and get out. Craig and Kelli worked with us and were very patient with us, taking special care to understand why we would say no on a certain home, so they could help us further. Third, they went above and beyond in all aspects to find us the home we want. I can't even begin to list all the things they did for us. The time they spent on us was more than we could have asked for. The knowledge they had of not only the area we wanted to be in, but of the market was nothing short of spectacular. When they would give us comps, ideas, figures - they were always spot on. Even now, after we have closed on the home, they continue to help us in trying to figure out contractors to come in and do some minor repairs, and are trying to help us reduce our insurance costs as well. All of the people they have recommended have been highly professional. If you are looking for a home in the Tampa area, I would not hesitate one second to highly recommend Craig and Kelli Kincheloe. They helped us find the perfect home, were extremely patient with us, and truly understood what was best for us. -

We purchased our new home from another state so we had limited time to see houses. Joe Kipping listened to what we wanted and took the time to show us many (46) homes for sale in the first week that we were looking. He iwad very helpful and knowledgeable with all of our questions. -

No one ever said buying a home was easy(especially your 1st home), it can be very a stressful time but Joseph Kipping and his team were exceptional when it came to helping us along the way every single step. My husband and I would both highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an invested Realtor to help them find their new home!! -
zuser20140721152518632
Christina and Joe Kipping were amazing from start to finish. Our home we sold and bought had many challenges and both resolve issues with compassion and the professionalism. Through the process Joe and Kristina held steadfast and stayed the course in helping my wife and I achieve our goals of buying and selling our home. My family considered both as a friend for life. -

user36539077
Craig and Kelli were wonderful during the entire home buying process. We explored many different neighborhoods with a range of homes and they were very patient while we tried to figure out exactly where we wanted to live. Once we decided upon a neighborhood they were great with negotiating the best deal possible based upon the condition of the home and the work that was needed. There were repairs needed and they were able to refer us to contractors that were reasonably priced and provided work that we are pleased with. They were also able to refer us to a few different mortgage companies that were able to create a loan package to fit out needs. Craig and Kelli were very responsive to our needs and their numerous contacts throughout the industry made the process very smooth. -
stevegreco3
Craig and Kelli were amazing to work with! They helped me identify my needs, pick out my floor plan and options, and then negotiated a great deal for me. They were with me every step of the way. And they completely answered all of my questions, even the stupid ones. They are the only real estate professionals I would ever use! -

I had the pleasure of working with Craig approximately 6 years ago. I was purchasing my home here in Florida. Was pre-approved from Bank of America. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong working with Bank of America. Craig took everything in his hands suggested a bank lender and within 72 hours everything was complete. I think back on my experience many times and wish I would have listened to him in the beginning and went with his lender. At the present time I'm not interested in purchasing homes and flipping them. And the only person that I would even consider working with doing this is Craig. So I'm looking for a bright 2017 year buying and selling houses with Craig. -
jkarlinski
He was great! Our current house for sale needed work, so he helped us find the right companies for the jobs we needed done (at great prices). He also stayed on top of listing recommendations for us before they even went live! I would recommend Craig to anyone either looking to buy, sell, or both. Very knowledgeable and professional! -
angelolaboy
Very helpful, responsible and accurate.Show you houses with no excuses,let you choose with one is good for you,listen you concerns and give you a good opinion without pushing.Is our second time we do business with them,i already recommend them to other people and they do a excellent business with them to. -
Jennifer Gurley
We had a great experience with Joe and his team. Our family was growing, so we were in a time crunch to find a new home and sell our old home. He worked hard to find us a home that fit our needs in the neighborhood we desired, and our home sold in just a few days. He negotiated all of the logistics and dealt with my super type A husband, which wasn't an easy task. We were able to close on our new home rather quickly and at a good price, and sell our home of nearly 13 years without any major snafus. We wouldn't hesitate to use Joe again for our next home! -
Paul Dunn
Joe and his team helped us through our first home purchase. They did an excellent job of listening to our needs/wants and helping us find exactly what we wanted in our price range. I would use them in the future for selling our home and purchasing another when that time comes. Thank you so much to Joe and his entire team at at Tampa Bay Home Team! -

In the case of selling a home, Kelli & Craig don't simply "list" your home. They make every sale their personal endeavor to see that their clients have the best outcome possible & do nothing short of their very best to make sure that happens. These two individuals are highly motivated and set very high standards for themselves, which only transfer to positive outcomes for their clients.. In my case, I had to sell my mother's home due to her death. Besides having to jump through some legal hoops, as well as dealing with other difficult beneficiaries of the estate, it was also necessary for me to have some repairs made to the home before it could sell. Kelli & Craig were instrumental in assisting in the referrals of reputable, responsible people/"vendors" with whom they have a great relationship that they can contact to assist with any possible "issues" with a home. The workers are very good & reasonably priced. Kelli & Craig are EXTREMELY knowledgeable in the real estate market. They go the extra mile to stay informed & up-to-date with the newest & most innovative ways to sell your home. It is my intention to use them again in the near future, and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone needing any type of real estate buying or selling assistance. -
Joe Ruiz
Craig and his team are experienced season professionals. They helped my wife and I sell our home in less than 30days after having it on the market with another realtor for months. -
christinaberdecia9
Joe is an exceptional realtor and I couldnt have asked for more in a realtor that I choose to help me in my search of purchasing my 1st home. He guided me very closely through the steps when I made the decision on the home I would purchase. Joe himself made sure he kept me updated through every step of the process. He listened to all my concerns and me feel assured that things would get done and they did. Thank you Joe for putting up with me (a very pushy buyer, haha) and for helping me to make my dream come true. Being a homeowner is an amazing feeling of accomplishment and I would recommend him over and over again!! -
katherinefeliz2
Excellent client service and dynamic duo between Craig and Kelli. Very helpful and easily accessible throughout the entire process. We love our first home! -
Chris NICHOLIS-COOPER
Joseph had great follow up and awesome response time getting back to us on any questions we had. He was showing a home for a nice lady who had cancer. He was thoughtful and considerate of her needs and expectations. We appreciated how kind he was to us and the seller. -
Donna Stevens
I was Relocating to Tampa and needed to find something within a week. Craig was on top of everything and was organized from the start. When I arrived we were off looking at places daily and by end of week had a house signed, sealed and completed. He also has been in touch since the sale just checking on how things are. Also he had a list of qualified contractors to help out with work that needed to be done around the new house. They were competent and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend him. -
klavelle1
Joe and his staff at Keller Williams are amazing. The house sold in just in less than a week on the market at a higher price than asked. The virtual tour of the house was amazing. We would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a realtor. All the people at Keller Williams are very knowledgeable,friendly and helpful. -
hartmut berns
I had the house listed for several months with another agent and didn’t get any offers. I am located out of state and Craig assisted with many things that I was unable to do because I lived so far away from the property. Craig gave me advice and executed a plan to make some improvements to the house that caused the house to sell more quickly and for money. It was an absolutely pleasant experience with Craig as a partner, and I am convinced I could have found no better and more capable realtor than he is, especially living in a remote location like I do. It was great to have access to professionals (to him and his wife Kelly) who are knowledgeable in determining market value, negotiations, all the way though carrying out necessary renovation projects and closing. I would recommend them to anybody in a heartbeat. -

We cannot speak enough to the time and effort that Craig and Kelli put forth in getting us in to our new home. Not sure where to begin as it seems they went to war with us for the better part of a year . . . Craig and Kelli did a great job understanding our needs and wants and finding homes that were well suited for us to look at. Right away, we noticed their strong communication, timely responses, and willingness to be available to us (and this was persistent throughout the entire process). Then, the war with a builder/seller started and they had our backs every step of the way; months and months of back and forth dealing with a complex contract, to an ungodly amount of details that Craig and Kelli helped manage, organize, decipher, and evaluate. Hard to imagine how we would've gotten through the experience without them. Besides the wide range of knowledge they brought to the table on all aspects from contracts, amendments/addendum, the market, the area itself, legal knowledge, working with builders and contractors etc., Craig and Kelli also have a large array of resources at their disposal which turned out to be very helpful (real estate attorneys, lenders, contractors, and more). Long story short, they fought along side us every step of the way to ensure that we weren't being taken advantage of and that we wouldn't settle for something that we didn't want. After 6+ months of painful dealings with a builder and many long days AND nights on the phone with Craig and Kelli discussing tough decisions to be made, we decided to walk away from a dreadful situation and they had our backs through out it all and made sure we didn't lose a cent. After ALL the time and work they had put in for us up to that point without so much as a dollar (or the guarantee of one), they still never slowed down in trying to get us in to a new home and within a couple of weeks we had a contract on exactly what we were looking for. At the end of it all, Craig and Kelli put up with a lot of crap on our behalf for almost a year . . . they ALWAYS had our best interests at the forefront and did whatever it took to get us in the perfect home. Highly recommended -
Justin and Peighton Woodard
Craig and Kelli did an amazing job in helping us secure a contract for the sell of our home. No home is to small or to big for them. They treat the sellers and buyers with the utmost respect regardless of the size of the sale. Our process brought on new challenges due to recent changes in the law in Florida, but Craig and Kelli were on top of it and took responsibility for informing us of the changes. I honestly believe that the outcome would have been different if it would have been another agent. My wife and I were referred to them through great friends of ours and have been beyond pleased. Craig and Kelli work masterfully as a team and never left us uninformed. We didn't have to call them to get updates as they keep us up-to-date with phone calls and emails. To sum up my experience, I had the pleasure of working with an honest hardworking duo that truly love their line of work. Great job guys! -
hpautler
Joseph Kipping was referred to us by a neighbor, after meeting Joe we felt he was the one right away to list our home. Sure glad we did, Joe and Christina Kipping along with the Keller Williams team were there for us through out the very short process. We received a contract in 3 days. Joe was there for questions, picture day, closing day and would check in with us during the weeks leading up to closing to see if we had and questions or concerns. Highly recommend. -
thg5120
Joe and his team were very capable and professional. From the start Joe was very patient and informative while we narrowed down our options; eventually we purchased a home totally different from what we originally thought we wanted...and couldn't be happier! Joe helped us through the entire process and was very accessible whenever we (often) needed his input. We also sold our home and Joe was able to secure our sales within 4 days! I would recommend Joe to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. -
Chrystal Presley
Joe and his team are amazing! We worked with them on the purchase of our home three years ago and are now selling the same home. Our house is under contract in less than a week and we are thrilled! I highly recommend The Tampa Bay Home Team for all of your real estate needs! -

I am in the military, and received orders requiring me to move from Brandon/Tampa. Unfortunately, the best option was to place my townhome for sale. Both Craig & Kelli Kincheloe's services were paramount during the process of selling my townhouse. Initially, having to sell my townhouse while in a different location and time zone was very frustrating; however, Craig's expertise reduced my uneasiness and helped reinforce my confidence regarding the situation. Before listing my townhouse for sale, he provided me with a comprehensive marketing/sales strategy. He took time to break down his strategy and gave me details on how his approach would help sell my townhouse in the fastest manner possible. After my house was listed, he ensured he and his team were always available via email/phone to answer any questions I had. They periodically checked in on my house and ensured the upkeep was maintained. Additionally, Craig forwarded me numerous, helpful emails regarding the status of my house to include: showings/feedback, listing updates, and multiple market analyses. This granted me full understanding of the status of my townhouse at all times. During the final stages of sale, he ensured his team stayed in constant contact and explained, in detail, the processes and contractual information which eliminated any confusion and eased the sales process. His negotiating skills were impeccable and resulted in my townhouse selling for more than my original offer! With that said, what I found most important was, he took the time to help me understand the housing market and provided great insight into the process. He never once rushed me off the phone or became frustrated with the amount of questions I asked; that, in itself, was probably the most meaningful. Besides being a great realtor and truly understanding his craft, he's honestly a stand-up guy and I can't thank him and his team enough for all their help! -

Joseph Kipping and the Tampa Bay Home Team were great every step of the way...from showing us houses to settlement and everything in between. Joseph Kipping is a very good realtor and cares about his clients. -
lilybug418
Joe Kippering worked around our work schedules and was there for us 110%. . I truly believe we would not have our home if not for him. I cannot express our gratitude . They all were truly there to support us through the whole process . I highly reccomend Joe Kippering . Even after closing they have still been there for any questions needing answered. -
schakirasavinon
I highly recommend Tampa Bay Home Team at Keller Williams " Christina & Joe Kipping" as they helped me purchase my beautiful new home and put up with my crazy amount of questions. They were very informative and made my first home buying process a bit easier. I will be recommending them to any peers that may be in search of a new home or plan to sell. -
Rose laboy
Joseph and Christina Kipping are an awesome tag team, they both are very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to buying and selling a home. They made us feel very important to them, especially when it came to us selling our home and buying another. When we first met Joe he said he was a straight shooter and that he was. He always follow through, and then some.He even went as far as helping us find someone to do some upgrade in our condo. I am definitely recommending him to all my family and friends and even strangers. Iam calling them the Dynamic Dual. -
melodynolfi60
Joe is honest and looking out for your best interest. I would recommend him to anyone who was in need of an agent. I have known him a long time. He is professional and aggressive enough to get the job done without being pushy. -
user202987
If your looking for a class act realtor that gets the job done your search is now over! Joe was my realtor back in 2008 when I purchased my home. He helped me get a great deal with a foreclosed property and walked me through every process of purchasing, as it was my first home. Then in 2014 when I was ready to sell he went out of his way to help me find local companies to finish small projects around the house as I was living 3,000 miles away. The pictures taken of my home accented all the fine details I had put into it and because of his teams hard work, an offer was put in the first day of listing and was closed on within 30 days! I know if I had used someone else the outcome would have not been the same! I will without a doubt use joe and his team again when I return home to Florida some day! Thanks for all you did! I hope others will read this and get to experience the same quality and care as I did! -
Robert W Kipping
Mr Kipping performed above and beyond any level we expected. Buying a home from 1500 miles away can be really stressful and challenging.....but Joseph took great efforts to answer every question and clear every hurdle with us ! As a Retail Executive with over 30 years experience I recognize a Committed Professional when I meet one......what a great find for us. I would recommend Mr Kipping to anyone at any point in the Real Estate Buying or Selling process. Thanks Joe! -
katiekat1780
I worked with Joe on the sale of my home and confidently recommend him for real estate needs. He, and his staff, are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and ever patient with their clients. Joe worked tirelessly to find me buyers and when those fell through, he was right back to finding me a new one. I was always kept informed of the status and stage of my sale and communication was open and easy. The ease of signing documents, etc. was a real plus. I highly encourage anyone looking for a real estate agent to choose Joe! -
user8510851
We definitely recommend Joe as your realtor. My husband and I were both very happy with his services. On time when showing us a home, let us take as much time as we needed when viewing a home and did not feel pressured in any way. He went out of his way to schedule appointments that worked for us, even last minute on weekends. As first time home buyers we had questions. Lots of questions. Joe was always patient and even helped us with recommendations for services such as fencing, locksmith, and tile when it really wasn't his job to do so. Thank you Joe for all your time and efforts. -
user38678639
Joseph is a hard working, experienced professional! I was able to get the condo I wanted for below asking. The process was smooth and short, I highly recommend him and his team! -
jrpat
We were very impressed with the marketing of our home. The on-line listing had great still pictures but those were nothing compared to the virtual tour that was added. That virtual tour included the use of a drone to get overhead, aerial views of our home plus the golf course behind our home. Joe and his team had open houses both weekend days following the listing, and they were well advertised and well attended. Joe Kipping was so confident in his team's selling abilities that he took the listing for only a 3-month period. They sold our home in only 16 days. Joe's whole team was very professional but they made us feel like simply friends. -
Kimnorquist
Joe was a great asset to have with us in selling our home. We had previously been trying to sell by owner. Many realtors approached us but Joe was able to convince me that if anyone was right for the job it was him. He succeeded in pursuit of all details and brought us to a close in short order. I would recommend him to friends. -
JuanEL JohnnySalazar
Mr. Kipping is a great man and made this whole experience positive. I learned a thing or two in how to buy a home. He gave me input in what to looj for in a home that will benefit me, my wife and children. And already recommended friends and coworkers to Joseph. -
pgilbert113
Regarding Joseph Kipping, I cannot sing his praises loud enough. I had given up hope of ever getting a short sale approved and was facing bankruptcy. He convinced me to let him try to get the short sale and he did. It saved me from financial disaster right when I needed it most. His short sale team (Kathy Rodriguez is awesome) knows how to get things done. I live in Georgia, and they handled everything. I would recommend them to anyone with great confidence. They are so professional, yet they are the nicest people. They were wonderful and I am so grateful to them. -
user4786996
Wow,
Joe Kipping went above and beyond to help us find a home. He is honest and straight forward.
I have dealt with a few realtor, but Joe Kipping stand in another level of realtor. He always works with your schedule and never gives you any excuse to see a home. Especially in short notice.
I would recommend Joe to anyone who is looking for a home to buy.
Thank you Joe. -
christinaberdecia
Purchasing a home has always been one of the biggest decisions I have made. Finding a realtor that understands all my wants and needs was a challenge. I can honestly say that Joseph Kipping met every single one.
I was very fortunate to be able to have Joseph as my realtor. He is very knowledgeable, understanding, and patient. I purchased my home back in Feb 2012. Joseph knowing I was a first time home buyer was able to walk me through my step by step process knowing all the questions I would have and even attended my closing. I can tell you that I visited over 15+ houses when I began my house hunting (here's where the understanding and patient comes into play). I would (and have) recommended Joseph to all my friends and family so they have the right realtor when they make their big decision.
