I met Bobby in February 2023 as I began searching for a home in St. Petersburg, FL; Bobby was referred to me by a friend who had a great experience with Bobby. From the moment we met, I knew Bobby was the right fit. He was patient, understanding, and a teacher. As a new buyer in FL, there were many things I needed to learn as my search began. Bobby walked me through the market and helped me to ensure my expectations were clear. Soon after I met Bobby, I was introduced to Alex. We too had a great connection. Not only did I get one expert in my search, but I got TWO! Bobby and Alex are the DREAM TEAM! Their support, commitment, and follow-through are unlike any other. They were able to help me find and close on the perfect house, the perfect location, and everything on my wish list. The cherry on top was that I walked into thousands of dollars in equity based on their masterful negotiation skills and a punch list of items the sellers resolved and paid for.
To say that we were blown away by Bobbys skill and personal service would be a huge understatement. Bobby went ABOVE and BEYOND what we ever expected when we decided to list our home with him. Never an unanswered question and never too busy for our calls. We will never use a different agent on any future real estate transactions. Hes stuck with us now! Highly, highly recommend Bobby. 2022
My partner and I first started to explore a move to St. Petersburg with Bobby nearly two years ago. Over that time, we made several visits to St. Petersburg to learn more about the market, look at properties, and get a better sense of what St. Petersburg is like. In spades, Bobby delivered on all three. He was most gracious about his time - we explored properties from North to South, East to West. Bobby was forthright about the market. Never once did it feel like a sale! And, what made it most personal were social introductions he made to people living here and simply staying in regular touch while we were back at home.
This June, we rented an AirBnB for a month to give St. Petersburg a true test-drive. We picked-up the house-hunt again with Bobby, honing in on the one area that caught our hearts - the Pink Streets! Luck would have it that a house we liked from the outside was now on the market. Bobby rolled up his sleeves to help us land this home, from arranging inspections to introducing us to contractors, and most importantly, negotiating a price that really worked for us. Six-weeks later, we were home-owners!
His attention to detail did not stop there. As new residents to St Petersburg, we needed introductions to the folks who would help us care for the house - lawn keepers, pest control, pool, interior designers, a/c, plumbers, roofers, etc. Within a week of closing - it feels as if we have lived in St. Petersburg forever, surrounded by those who will help us care for the house.
Both my partner and I would encourage anyone interested in purchasing a home in the St. Petersburg area to work with Bobby. His knowledge, experience, and most importantly, personal care have truly helped us to find our forever-home and to make St. Petersburg our home. 2020
Bobby was extremely professional and made buying our home a breeze. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was always prompt with any questions we had. I highly recommend Bobby if u want the best and easiest real estate experience. 2019
We didnt want a real estate agent until we met Bobby. He is knowledgeable about the area and good at his job! He negotiated a great price on our new home and sold our old home within 2 weeks...and above asking price. He worked tirelessly for us and well never use anyone else! 2020
Bobby was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. As a first time home buyer he guided me through the entire process and helped me find an amazing starter home. I especially appreciate his commitment to fixing a few unforeseen complications.I can't recommend working with Bobby enough! 2019
Bobby knew the market well and gave me recommendations to improve the sale price. I took his recommendations and got top dollar for the property. He coordinated getting repairs done to the unit and buyer requests. He made it easy for me to sell. 2019
Let me start by saying that my husband and I were able to purchase our dream home from Pennsylvania while Bobby was halfway across the world. THAT'S just how amazing Bobby Poth is. n nMy husband and I found ourselves relocating to Saint Petersburg from Pennsylvania. We were referred to Bobby from a well rooted and respected member of the community so we knew he must be an excellent choice. The word 'excellent' is a supreme understatement when referring to Bobby. He was more than we could have thought to ask for in a Realtor. With the added challenge of searching for homes remotely, we were only able to house hunt in person twice. Bobby took our list of wants/needs for our future home and didn't waste time showing us anything short of that. Knowing the area and the local neighborhoods so well, he was able to even show us what we wanted before we knew that's what we were looking for. Bobby is in tune with the market, the city, and his clients making a perfect match almost too simple for him to find. n nDuring the whole process, Bobby was so patient and we were not pressured to buy once. In fact, Bobby was upfront with his perspective on the potential buy. His negotiation skills were phenomenal. He is a creative and out of the box thinker when it comes to making sure your offer is accepted. In additional, all of his recommendations, such as the inspector, Mike, were exceptional. Bobby wants to make sure that he can do everything in his power to see you are as happy with your purchase the day you buy as you are years down the road. n nBobby was remarkable every step of the process. We are so thankful to have been referred to him. Bobby made what could have been a less than ideal situation into one that was simple, easy and so fun! We are confident there is no better choice you could make to handle the purchase of your new home. Bobby Poth is your real estate agent - you just didn't know it until now. Call him today! 2018
My aunt and uncle were selling their Florida condo, and I knew they needed someone that would offer market expertise for the area as well as compassion throughout the process of selling their home of 40 years. Bobby Poth was extremely knowledgeable in the area and offered great suggestions for them to get their condo ready to sell. He also exhibited patience in their needs, responding to their calls and respecting their occational need to slow down and pause. His personality and leadership helped to put my aunt and uncle at ease in the sale of their home and we enjoyed working with him. 2018
Working with Bobby to purchase my first home was seamless, smooth, and quick. Bobby ensured I understood every step of the process, and he immediately connected me to professionals to assist with inspections, mortgage shopping, home insurance, home warranty, etc. All the things I didn't realize I needed to think about, Bobby already had it covered and a large network of professionals on speed dial to call and assist with each step of the process. He also made sure I found a house that appropriately fit my budget, lifestyle, and family. I couldn't think of a more pleasant buying experience than this, even for such a large lifetime investment, Bobby made it as simple and quick as possible. n nThe home I purchased had over 9 offers within the first two days on the market. While I offered above asking price, it was not the highest offer the seller received. But Bobby managed to put together a deal and negotiated well enough to entice the seller to accept my offer above the many other offers she had. He did so by presenting a competitive package that took into account more than just the price, but he expedited the timeline and found a lender that offered financial incentives for the seller. Overall, he put together a deal that stood out amongst the crowd. You want Bobby on your side of any residential real estate deal! 2017
I listed my home for sale with Bobby Poth two years after buying it. Bobby helped give me ideas on what to repair, what not to worry about, and how to stage it. Bobby was able to get an offer on the house in less than two weeks within just a few thousand dollars of my asking price, much higher than other agents I interviewed said I could get for it. Bobby guided me through the inspection negotiations and was even able to help me stay in the house for an additional week after closing to make my move easier. I highly recommend Bobby if you are looking to sell your house! Susan Heth 2016
I sold my house with Bobby's help and was so thrilled with him that I asked him to help me find my retirement condo. Bobby started the condo search with my daughter to help narrow down areas for me. Once we found a condo for me to buy, Bobby helped position my offer and negotiations to beat three other competing offers! Bobby guided me through the entire buying process including home inspections, appraisal, condo association approval, and even helped me navigate getting an accommodation for an emotional support animal. Thank you Bobby for your hard work! Susan Heth 2016
After working with Bobby on the sale of my mother's home and the purchase of her condo, Bobby was naturally my go-to Realtor when I decided to try to buy my first home. At first, I didn't think I would be able to buy a home, but Bobby put me in touch with a fantastic lender and helped me navigate the process. After finding our dream home that met every single one of our Wants and needs , Bobby helped negotiate and beat several competing offers. The sellers of our home really wanted to have everything closed within 30-days, which we thought would be impossible with a VA loan. Bobby helped us get our home inspection done in just three days, appraisal done in less than two weeks, and along with our lender got us into our home a day before our scheduled closing date! We highly recommend Bobby Poth for any of your real estate needs! Thank you Bobby! - Meredith and Ryan Noel 2016
Our non-profit was searching for transition homes for youth in our care that required specific zoning and land use approval. Realtors aren't land use lawyers. But somehow, Bobby Poth quickly became an expert in city zoning and land use regulations and developed many creative solutions that we would not have thought of on our own. n nWe visited more than 40 homes together, and for nearly two months he sent a daily email with new listings that just hit the market. He simply never missed a beat. What is most impressive was Bobby's dedication to our mission, not his commission. He genuinely cared about our work with juvenile offenders and sought to authentically support us. n nBobby has since become a great friend. There is no one I trust more than Bobby to faithfully handle all of our organization's, and my personal, real estate needs. Thank you Bobby! 2016
