Kevin King, a buyer from Palm Coast, FL
Our experience with Kay exceeded my expectations in terms of her market knowledge, professionalism, her willingness to answer any questions, and address any concerns. Furthermore, she honored my military service and the sacrifices my family has made by helping us find additional savings and funds. From the first time I called Kay, I appreciated her direct and confident answers to my questions. I was relieved to have a tenacious and knowledgeable agent in my corner who had years of experience with the Northeast Florida real estate market. I have deep respect for her as a person because she didnt act like a real estate agent, rather, she acted like trusted advisor and friend. My wife and I contacted Kay many times per week sometimes multiple times per day, and she always answered her phone and responded to our questions. The peace of mind she gave to my wife and me is priceless. I plan to work with Kay for all my future real estate needs for as long as she is in the industry. I will recommend her to all my friends and family, and to anyone who is looking for professional, tenacious, and approachable agent.

Kay was quick in helping us find a house and getting a loan approval in one day on a weekend. She did a superb job guiding us through every step and she played a vital part in helping us find and purchase our new home.

Edwin Rivera, a buyer from Green Cove Springs, FL
Kay Chafton is highly recommended for anyone needing a realtor. Kay went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. Very knowledgeable, experienced, and most of all professionally - friendly. Will definitely use Kay again in the furure

Michael Cox, a buyer from St. Augustine, FL
Throughout our adult years my wife Karen and I have had the experience of purchasing homes in multiple states. Recently we decided to purchase again and discovered quickly that a number of realtors were only interested in their next closing.

It was imperative for us to work with someone with a proven track record and having already earned the trust of others before us. Repeatedly we heard the name Kay Chafton, known locally to be that exact person.

Kay was the best choice we could have made, so allow me to save you time, effort and aggravation searching for a realtor thats any better. Kay in every aspect is the most knowledgeable realtor that we have ever used. She listened intently to our needs and became laser focused.

Throughout the entire process, Kay and her assistant Aileen were there each step of the way. Kay answered every call, email, and text no matter what time of day or night. Her professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and work ethic are much respected and appreciated. Never once did Kay try to sell us a house, but rather a home by remaining primarily a mentor, helping us to make the best decision for our family.

We now consider Kay a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for a new home.

To all my fellow Veterans, know that Kay appreciates your service and is a proud supporter of Homes for Heros.

Thanks again to Kay Chafton and her assistant Aileen Dawson for their diligent efforts and for being a true pleasure to work with.

Michael Cox


Karen Wright, a buyer from St. Augustine, FL
Our experience in working with Kay has been second to none! She was on top of her game during this crazy sellers market to find us a home. We told her what our needs were and she took the information and ran with it. She was flexible with our time schedule and was immediately available to show us the homes. All the homework was done prior to us seeing each one of them. Wow we were thrilled at the details she found on each of the homes.
There were 8 showings for this home in a 3 day period and Kay knew how to get our offer accepted by her knowledge and expertise in the real estate industry.
Kay is also giving back to her community she surprised us with being part of a program called Homes for Heroes. What a blessing!
I cannot recommend another realtor higher than I can for Kay!


Karen Wright, a seller from St. Augustine, FL
Kays knowledge and experience in the Real Estate industry has made working with her seamless. We had a fantastic experience throughout the whole process of selling our property. Kay did so much homework to make sure we were getting the best, most fair price. She listed the property immediately and had it sold within days. I recommend her highly if you are looking for a no-nonsense, get the job done, professional that knows what it takes to succeed in her industry!


Debbie Tucker, a seller from Fernandina Beach, FL
Kay has been my realtor for buying two homes and selling one. I stayed with her because she made every step of the process as painless as it could be. Not only was her guidance backed up by decades of experience, she always asked what I thought first. When deciding sale prices and submitting offers, I never felt pressured to increase sale price or submit a higher offer. For me, its also the small things. After 11 years, when I called her to buy the second house, she still remembered my two dogs names. She always made me feel like I was a priority and part of the family. The incentives I received from her Homes for Heroes Program showed me how much she appreciated and deeply cared about Military Service Members and Veterans. There are so many great things to say about Kay. Do yourself a favor and give her a call.

Debbie & William Morgan, a seller from Jacksonville, FL
To everyone out there about to buy or sell a property, we want to direct you to our realtor, Kay Chafton, Coldwell Banker Realty! We just closed on our home and, throughout the process, Kay demonstrated her vast knowledge, experience, and professionalism in all aspects of the real estate arena. All our questions/concerns were addressed promptly and courteously and Kays confident demeanor gave us confidence throughout the process!

Kay is a fantastic person and wonderful to work with. She provided us with a quick sale and quick closing all the while keeping us fully apprised of each step of the process. We give her our highest and most heartfelt recommendation!

Kay Chafton is a tremendous asset in the real estate field. If you need a realtor, call Kay! You will be as impressed as we are!

John, a buyer from Fleming Island, FL
Kay is a 10/10! Her knowledge is well beyond being a superb real-estate agent. She knows the ins and outs of the entire Jacksonville market. She can guide you not only in home buying, but everything else in between to settle down and create a home. She demonstrates the utmost respect for her clients and her professionalism is spot on. She treats you like family! Always responding to calls or emails in a timely fashion, promptly completing any paperwork, and kindly reminding us of important deadlines. Aside from her being the best realtor I have had the opportunity to work with, she was a genuinely great person. She had so much knowledge about the surrounding area, what to do, where to eat, sports, schools, etc. She is personable and honest, something that seems rare these days. I can't thank her and praise her enough. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in the Jacksonville area. Kay is the way if you want to make a home and not just buy a house!!

In the real estate business, as in other endeavors of life, results matter. Kay Chafton of Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty helped me to achieve a beneficial outcome in the sale of my property at 3522 Martin Lakes Drive, Green Cove Springs, Florida. Kay listed the house for me on March 2, 2023. Within 30 days, I had a cash sales contract on the house from a financially sound buyer at the going market price! Kays work was crucial to this outcome. She crafted sales language which highlighted the most salable features of the house and provided me with research based on up-to-date models of property prices in the specific sub-division, as well as her own estimation based on her decades-long experience in the industry. This guidance helped us set a realistic selling price. Additionally, the photos she ordered inside and outside of the house were clear, sharp and attractive. Thus, by the end of the month after the listing, the transaction was complete and I had my money. Most importantly, I was able to exceed my projected earnings from the house sale by a meaningful margin. Yes, results matter.

Damon Darden, a buyer from Asbury Lake, FL
Kay Crafton is amazing in many ways. she was always available to answer any questions and to provide guidance and give sound advice. She was always there for every step of the purchase process. She recommended a home inspector and we were glad that we did so.
Overall Kay was totally amazing and we highly recommend Kay to anyone wanting to be looked out for and seeking their best interest by putting her client first. Kay is a top notch realtor with the credentials to back it up. Thank you Kay, we appreciate you!!

Michael Johnson, a seller from Jacksonville, FL
Kay did an excellent job with the sale of my house. The journey was a roller coaster experience due to the changes in interest rates, however, Kay stayed on point, adapted to the situation, and paid attention to the details.

If you're looking for someone that knows how to get the job done, Kay is your Realtor.

The entire process of buying or selling your home can indeed be a stressful part of life. Kay Chafton is an excellent realtor who knows the housing market, trends and several communities throughout the Florida First Coast area. We first met Kay buying our home nine years ago and when it was time to sell, knew without a doubt who we could count on to get the job done. She advised us throughout the entire process and put eased us with every decision. Her experience, knowledge and professionalism is on point while her compassion to work with military families is an asset. Kay has great follow up skills and promptly responded to our calls/txt and answered our questions or concerns to provide us with the assurance that our home would in a timely matter. We could not have done this experience without her and we are so extremely grateful for her dedication, professionalism and friendship.

Kay made the home buying process smooth, quick, and stressless. Her market knowledge of the Saint Augustine area is unrivaled and made sure our needs were me throughout the process. I highly recommend having Kay represent you if you are in the market for a new home.

Lorie Dinova, a buyer from St. Augustine, FL
Working with Kay was a joy. She is familiar with the area and the house styles and knew what we were looking for. She didn't waste our time showing us houses that wouldn't work. Once we were under contract Kay made sure she stayed in touch with us and answered any and all questions we had which helped make the process seamless. I definitely will refer her to our friends and family.

Andre Morehead, a seller from Jacksonville, FL
If you're looking for an awesome I mean extremely awesome agent Kay " knock it out the park " Chafton is your agent. It's hard to find a place to start. Kay helped us buy our home in 2014, sell the same home in 2022 and helped us purchase our dream property in 2022. The buyer of our home was an extremely difficult and strategically HORRIBLE!!!!! invester. If Kay wasn't super savvy and experienced we would have been burned. She was able to twist their arms to make the closing happen after weeks of them stalling and now we look at deer and our pond while enjoying our slice of heaven. Thank you sooooo much Kay for an awesome job and there is no possible way we would ever use another agent for our real estate needs. Thanks Kay!!!

Working with Kay Chafton and her staff, allowed us to sell our house at the right price and the right time. Kay was able to help us prepare our house for an open house and walked us through the sale process. She is informed about the housing market trends and what should be the right price to entice buyers and at the same time be a profitable price for the seller. We had a lot of confidence in Kays abilities and she led us to the right sale.

Trevor D, a seller from St. Augustine, FL
Kay is an expert and your family needs her on your team. Kay was referred to me by a trusted co-worker who had bought and sold multiple properties with her and we are so glad that he did. My basic expectations are expertise, honesty, communication, and work ethic.

Kay is an absolute professional who exceeded our expectations. We collaborated together to simultaneously sell our current home while purchasing another. Kays national expertise coupled with her local expertise really facilitated our game plan. Her candor and honesty was greatly appreciated and helped balance (or replace) what we thought we knew based upon online research of sale prices and estimates.

Buying and selling at the same time is a challenge in and of itself. Then add on the dynamics of this crazy market and you have an even more stressful situation. Kay expertly managed the process while also keeping us sane. Despite falling prices and rising rates we quickly sold our home, at full price, and with accommodations that met our personal timeline. We achieved all of our goals thanks to Kay.

Kay was always available and she is a great communicator. In fact, when Id call after hours expecting to leave a voicemail, shed answer, and Id be apologizing for calling so late. She graciously spent as much time with us as we wanted because she truly empathizes with the family experiencing the transition.

Im in the Army which means weve moved repeatedly throughout my career and weve worked with numerous realtors. Kay Chafton is the best! She took great care of my family and I know she will take care of yours.

Anonymous, a seller from St. Augustine, FL
Kay was easy to work with, easy to get a hold of, and easy to like! She communicated at every step, ensuring that I was updated on every change or event and had all of the info I needed to make decisions. She handled the sales process seamlessly and is worth her weight in gold. Id give 10 stars if I could.

Teddy & CaSandra, a seller from Jacksonville, FL
This move was a corporate move for our family. Kay displayed world class realtor experience every step of the way. Her business acumen was above reproach in our experience and delivered us an offer on opening day, to which she professionally guided us in for the closing amongst all the corporate complexities like a season realtor. Her realtor experience is what every home seller needs in order to get the sale completed. Her staging skills and suggestions were spot on and it delivered a staggering near 1000 views in less than 2 days for our home. If we were to buy again or sell in Jacksonville Kay would be our Realtor hands down. Thank You Kay for making this complicated transition so easy. May God Bless you on all your sales.

Paul & Melissa, a seller from Jacksonville, FL
From the moment we met Kay Chafton we knew we'd pick her as our agent to sell our house. She was professional, outgoing and knowledgeable about the market in our area. Not only did she exceed our expectations as a saleswoman but the final sales price was above our expectations, as well. In fact, we thought so highly of her, we recommended her to one of neighbors who also hired her. Thank you, Kay.

Victoria, a buyer from St. Augustine, FL

Laurie Jarvis, a seller from Jacksonville, FL
Thanks Kay for your hard work and dedication!

Phil, a buyer from Jacksonville, FL
Kay exceeded every expectation I had, and some I didnt know I had. She and her son Chris were a pleasure to work with. They were accommodating to my situation and when it came time to make an offer, made me aware of what offering tactics would work best in this difficult market. I couldnt be happier with the outcome and I owe it all to Kay, highly recommended and will be using her again in the future!

Suzie Emling, a seller from Fleming Island, FL
In this crazy market, we felt completely confident in Kay's ability to guide our decisions and help us navigate the insanity. We wanted to maximize our sales price, but also be realistic and not set ourselves up for failure...Kay is the perfect person for this. She's honest, straightforward and flat out just gets things done. She has the relationships, knowledge and local experience in the industry to navigate the pitfalls, anticipate and mitigate the potential risks, and put the "Plan B" in place if needed. This is our second real estate transaction with Kay and we recommend her without reservation.

Sherrie Braswell, a seller from St. Johns County, FL

Smooth process from beginning till the end. Very informative and efficient with paperwork. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Tom And Mary Jo Rose, a seller from St. Johns County, FL
We listed our home early April, went under contract within 10 days and closed the first week of June. Kay was instrumental in making the sale as she stayed in touch with the prospective buyers agent until they decided to make an offer. Kay does a fantastic job marketing the home whether it is the printed brochures, social media or communicating with other Agents. She keeps the process moving along from contract to close. We highly recommend Kay and enjoyed working with her!
