Although we knew Don and Sarah socially before we did business with them, we are glad we trusted them to list and sell our house. Their marketing is top notch and wide-reaching which generates lots of traffic. They are highly respected by fellow realtors and are diligent in following up and getting feedback from showings. Having young kids, the house was often not showable on short notice, but they invested 100% into the process of selling our home and would do whatever it took to have it show well and help get it sold, including hiring their own personal cleaners, blowing the yard themselves, researching options for adding an elevator, or adding accent pieces. Overall a great experience and result.
In working with Don & Sarah Howe we found out how truly creative & resourceful they were. In trying to not only sell our condo but in finding various ways to meet our needs in finding us a new home. They were successful in developing numerous possibilities that could work for us. From finding a fixer upper & renting a beautiful condo for a few months to ultimately locating a perfect house for us to move into. All of this they did while we were on an “Around the World Cruise”. We returned with a new home in hand. They are a delightful couple, with their own unique talents that complement each other and truly make them a “dynamic duo”. It was a pleasure to work with a team that has integrity & the demeanor to make the stressful buying & selling decisions as pleasant as possible. It appears that nothing is too difficult for them, that it cannot be amicably resolved.
Don and Sarah, Thank you both very much for representing me in selling my property at 1110 14th Ave N. in Saint Petersburg, FL. Not only did you sell the property in less than 24hrs but you sold it at a very attractive price. However, the most important aspect of my experience was your meticulous attention to detail in staging the home and guiding me on making sure I did the necessary steps so that the property was shown at its full potential! Your light hearted approach and sense of humor was welcoming when overcoming obstacles and very appreciated during this transaction as well! Should the need present itself that I have to sell any other property in the area I will not think twice about using your premium services! Thank you again, Don and Sarah!
We are so fortunate to have had Sarah and Don Howe help us buy our home in St. Petersburg and then help us sell it years later. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, but they took care of everything so that we could concentrate on moving on with our life. Very knowledgeable about the market when buying, and great with marketing when selling. They always remained calm and were great with coming up with solutions if there were any challenges. Thanks Don and Sarah!
Working with Sarah and Don was a pleasure. It was an intricate sale and they executed flawlessly on both the seller and buyers behalf. They are the best real estate team in our market! We would highly recommend them.
Don and Sarah did a fantastic job selling my father’s home! They were professional from our very first conversation. They told me what they would do to get it sold and they delivered. I had been working with another agent who was unable to sell it. When I listed it with Don and Sarah, the market was already declining, but they were still able to find the perfect buyer who loves the home and paid top dollar for it.
We chose Don and Sarah Howe to represent us in the sale of our home in Old Northeast St. Petersburg, and we are glad we did. They took a strategic approach to marketing, staging, and ultimately selling our home. Once we went on the market we were, unfortunately, faced with a rapidly depressing real estate market due to interest rate hikes and other unforeseen economic factors. Sarah & Don clearly had weathered storms like this before and demonstrated their professional nimbleness. Their patient but persistent approach to marketing our home not only calmed us in the process, but ultimately resulted in selling our home. More than amazing real estate agents, Don and Sarah are sophisticated, always on the clock, vigorous defenders of what is important to their customers, intuitive about the market and the real estate business, floral arrangers, leaf blowers, smart, kind, and we always knew t…

We now see why they were referred to us as ‘the best’.
I’m a bit tired of 4 1/2 stars showing in searches for every well known doctor, product or service. Seeing the other half of the fifth star seems left even for many of the highest rated. Sarah and Don Howe perform so completely and pleasantly their roles as representatives for both buyers and sellers of residences (at times both parties in the same transaction) that any rating less than a clear and complete 5 stars is inadequate. Sarah and Don have represented me in three residential transactions during the past 2 years, one as seller and 2 as buyer. In two they represented only me and in the third they represented me and a totally independent party. I am not easily satisfied and found myself having to send a bottle of champagne to their home after one of the closings as an apology for being unreasonably difficult to deal with. But these two are the most professional people and my next…

“Working with Sarah and Don Howe during our search for a new home was a phenomenal experience. My wife, Felicia, and I have known the Howes for a few years now and know them to be people of unquestioned integrity. They both are tireless, persistent and relentless workers and advocates for clients. Virtually every transactional business relationship starts and ends with the two core characteristics noted above: integrity and work ethic. Because of who the Howes are as human beings, we were able to fully trust them to fiercely protect our interests and to ensure that we were protected financially. Another trait that the Howe team possesses which is rare in the sales environment is the unique ability to listen. Just to listen. The kinds of things we were looking for in our new home was so thoroughly heard by Sarah and Don that we were totally aligned throughout the entire process. This on…

The kinds of things we were looking for in our new home was so thoroughly heard by Sarah and Don that we were totally aligned throughout the entire process. This one vital factor saved weeks and months of time and, likely, substantial money. The Howe’s are more client centered than we have experienced in any other home we have purchased over the years. Their mindfulness in this case manifests in the truly remarkable streamlining of the loan process and the closing experience. Closing is often awkward and sometimes contentious. With the Howe’s, their people manage the closing process completely painlessly. We can endorse and recommend the Howes without reservation. The highest integrity. Relentless workers. Loyal advocates. Mindful business people. Careful listeners. And kind, generous friends. It is our joy to recommend them to anyone looking for a new home!”
"The Howes pulled out all the stops for us. We had a unique property to sell. It needed just the right buyer to appreciate it and realize its amazing potential. The Howes found us those buyers. They provided the stamina, vision, and knowledge required to position our home for sale. They then tirelessly marketed our home and ultimately negotiated a deal to everyone's satisfaction. This deal required intelligence, finesse and creative thinking. The Howes brought all of those skills (and so many more) to the table. We were NOT easy sellers, in fact, we were pretty needy and demanding. We never felt neglected or as if the Howes were being condescending - even when we made way too many (in some cases unnecessary) inquiries. You simply will not find better prepared, engaged and knowledgeable agents. Their diverse skills and many examples of kindness were in evidence too when we purchased…

Again, our purchase deal required a significant amount of time and effort to complete. With incredible efficiency, calm demeanors vision and brainpower, the Howes are simply amazing. I cannot recommend them enough for any home need from staging (their style is incredible) to finding just the right contractor to prepare your home for sale or to help make your new home special. The Howes and their excellent support team are worth their weight in real estate gold! I recommend them without reservation."
Sarah and Don bring the highest level of professionalism to all their transactions and clients and have a proven track record of sales. Both extremely connected, Sarah and Don are a force to be reckoned with in St. Petersburg, FL.
