In today’s complicated real estate market I feel fortunate to have a true champion in Donna Harper. Her experience, honesty and integrity made the whole process of selling my house and buying another so much easier, along with the entire Thorn team. There’s no reason to call anyone else!

Highly recommend. A neighbor who had recently sold their home recommended our realtor Leslie Gerlach. She did an amazing job with the sale of our home. Easy to work with, excellent communicator, knowledgeable and patient. She went above and beyond expectations as we dealt with 2 hurricanes during this process. We are grateful to Leslie and The Thorn team who are very professional and a pleasure to work with as well.

Absolutely recommend our realtor Kandra Covert. She was very patient and available for us when we wanted to look at a lot of homes in various locations in this difficult market. Her knowledge and attention to detail made a very complicated process so easy for us. We are grateful we had her on our side for our home buying experience.

Absolutely the best. After 6 months of excuses, l went to the agency where I should have started. It was a blitz of showing, calls, follow ups and ads. Such communication and service as I never experienced. As a retired Realtor and SRA they were better than me!
We closed this morning.
Thanks Patricia and Thorn team.

Allison is a true delight to work with. She was always available to answer our questions/requests right away. We saw many houses with her. She was honest about the pros and cons of the places we saw. She worked so hard on finding us a home! We finally found a wonderful house and Allison was there through the entire process! She made buying a home as easy as possible! She is so helpful and we highly recommend her as a realtor. We will use her expertise in the future and advise our friends/family to work with her as well! We couldn’t be happier with her work! Thank you Allison, you are a rock star!

My agent Sara Poppleton was excellent! She was extremely helpful in helping me identify, secure, and purchase my “dream” home in Clearwater. She was professional, knowledgeable, and proactive. She continues to help, whenever needed, even during the two years after the home purchase. I have highly recommended her to several of my friends. Joan

We never expected to have such a wonderful experience buying a home and selling a home but thanks to Sarah Poppleton, it was fantastic. She was kind, compassionate, professional, understanding, and was there for us at every step of the way. We would never consider using any other realtor. When I would get worried or concerned, Sara would call me right back and assure me that everything would be fine and she calmed me down when I would get stressed. She treated us like “friends” right from the start. Sara is a beautiful person inside and out and we love her like a daughter. Thank you Sara for everything.

My husband and I had been talking about moving and when we decided to do this we were looking for a real-estate agent, I remembered that The Thorn Collection had been advertised in our neighborhood news letters. I called them and Sara came to visit and she was awesome. We put our house on the market on Wednesday and br Sunday evening we had 15 offers and signed a contract for well over asking. I would HIGHLY recommend Sara Poppleton to anyone who wants to sell or buy a house or condo.

Don Chilton is the very best there is! I just recently purchased a home and Don was my realtor. He was with me every step of the way. He listened to what I was looking for in my forever home and he didn't let me "settle" when I thought we would never find the right home. His attention to detail , professionalism, honesty & integrity are the values that set him apart from others. I highly recommend Don Chilton if you are buying or selling your home.

Very impressed with the agents they have with The Thorn Collection, particularly Kandra Covert.

I was looking to acquire a new downtown residence in Chicago, IL and even though she is not licensed here, she was able to connect me with a reputable agent to assist with my search.

She did plant the idea of a summer home in Florida and that is not a bad idea. Especially with all the prime and desirable listings she showcases regularly! Looking forward to working with her on that. Thanks again Kandra.

I can't say enough good things about the fine folks at the Thorn Collection, especially my listing agent, Brigett Cerce. Their team approach to listing and selling provides a high level of expertise at each step of the way from consultation, to pricing, to listing, to showing, to contract, to close. Everything was done with the utmost care and professionalism -- their service level is unmatched by any realtor I've previously dealt with (and I've dealt with some good ones). Highly recommended.

Brigett is nothing short of amazing. If you want a dedicated realtor that is has patience and dedication, you need Brigett. We met Brigett about two years ago at an open house she was hosting. We loved that house but did not get that one. Since then, Brigett worked to find us our dream home and sell our last dream home. We love Brigett and would recommend her for any home you need to sell or find!

The absolute best experience with a real estate agent, ever!!. They are very professional and know how to sell property fast. We had our home listed with another agent for over a year, only had three showings, no offers. Don Chilton one of Martha Thorn's agents sold our home in two months. Martha's entire team is impressive, personable and professional. I guess I can sum it up best this way. The other agents I worked with in the past were selling real estate for money. At the Thorn Collection they love doing what they are doing and they were there to help us. The difference is the passion that is evident from the first meeting to the closing, these folks love what they do and they are good at it!!

Martha Thorn and Don Chilton and all the staff at The Thorn Collection are and absolute joy to work with. If you want someone to sell your home go with Martha!

I've been thoroughly impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the Thorn team during the entire process. Brigett kept me in the loop each step along the way. With my husband in the military, time was of the essence due to our upcoming transfer. My home was only on the market a few days before we received a contract. I attribute that to Brigett's knowledge of the housing market and the strategic marketing done by the Thorn Collection. I highly recommend Brigett and the Martha Thorn team if you are thinking of selling or buying a home in the Tampa Bay Area. Thanks again!

I would have to say that KJ Kein of the Martha Thorn Agency was one of the best professional's I have ever dealt with. She went above and beyond to assist my wife and I in the purchase of our land in Tarpon Springs. Due to our schedules, we were only able to visit the St. Pete/Clearwater/Tarpon Springs area on weekends. She would spend the week preparing a schedule for us. She would accept my late night calls and emails and promptly respond to our questions and concerns. When we found what we wanted, she jumped right on the task and provided us with all of the pros/cons of purchasing the land. She worked tiresoulsy with the seller to get us the best price and has provided insightful information about the building of our forever dream home. The support staff at Martha Thorn, was tremendous. Pleasant and very helpful. I can be very demanding, and they were right there with the answers, sometimes before I even had a chance to ask them. I couldn't ask for a better agency to work with. My only regret, is that we can't use their agency to list our current home in Jacksonville. Seeing how they work so hard on the buyer side, I would have no concerns of them representing me on the seller side. I can guarantee, that when we purchase additional real estate in the area, my first call with be to KJ and crew. They are AWESOME!

I couldn't of asked for a better experience when buying my first home! The women at the office were incredibly knowledgeable. Not once did I feel like I was being pressured or forced to buy anything. I was able to tell them exactly what type of house I was looking for and in turn they worked with me until we found the perfect little place. I would most definitely use them again to buy or sell a house.
