    About Kathleen Comerford

    I am glad to meet you and I thank you for taking the time to get to know more about me. I'm a Broker Associate with eXp Realty and the Team Owner of The Comerford Group. I am also an interior designer and builder and collaborate on projects from time to time. My passion for real estate began at an early age, evidenced by the elaborate condo projects I developed for my Barbie Dolls (I drove Dad crazy with this!). I always felt the calling and excitement of real estate and began investing and developing as a young professional in New York City. As I furthered my education, I obtained an MBA from Wharton Business School majoring in Finance and Real Estate which led me to a successful career on Wall Street that I enjoyed for many years as an investment banker and developer. Seeking new challenges, I retired from Wall Street to establish a boutique development company in NYC that specialized in acquiring, redeveloping, and selling undervalued properties and transforming them into Uber-Luxury assets. Several of these properties were featured on TV and in prominent magazines! I think you'll agree that my background and experience in real estate is most unique and quite extensive. Why is this important to you? Buying and selling real estate, while it may seem to be an everyday occurrence as seen on popular TV shows, is typically one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. You have worked tirelessly for decades saving up the capital to be able to invest in and enjoy real estate. Perhaps it is a dream home purchase you've been waiting to make or the accumulation of an investment property portfolio that will ensure the lifestyle you have worked for well into your future. Florida has its unique considerations such as construction materials and methods, waterfront property issues, protection against natural elements, landlord and tenant issues, and just gaining access to a network of trusted vendors and professionals, all of which demands expertise. It's critical to have a seasoned professional by your side with the experience and skills to create the very best opportunities for you while protecting your interests along the way. That is what my team and I can provide to you. For over a decade now, I have been enjoying our amazing Florida lifestyle while building a very busy and productive career in real estate brokerage. I truly enjoy sharing my expertise with my clients and helping them to achieve their dreams and goals. Through dedication and hard work, I have earned a reputation as one of the top sought-after brokers in my markets where our primary focus is on the Southeast and Southwest coastal regions of Florida. In my leisure time, I enjoy the stunning Florida beaches, golf courses, and boating waterways with my husband, family, and friends. I am a proud pet parent a mini-Schnauzer. Thank you for listening! I look forward to knowing more about you!

    If it wasn't for Kathleen Comerford, I wouldn't have even bought my new home. She is patient, professional, and very competent. She explained the entire process of home buying to me, the improvements that needed to be done, how to complete them, and the approximate costs. She helped me with all the signed paperwork, the HOA application and sent me links to apply for utilities. I am so grateful that I found her online. Thanks again!

    Kathleen provided the support and guidance needed from her extensive experience in a very challenging market to sell in. We had very unusual circumstances that we encountered. She led every transaction with professionalism, patience, and understanding. There weren't any questions she couldn't answer. She always returned calls, texts, and emails in a timely manner and made you feel like you were her top priority even though she has many clients that she personally handles. She understands the unique needs of each client and her expertise is unmatched. She made one of the most stressful events in someone's life easier to handle. She exceeded all expectations, and I would highly recommend her. Your commitment to excellence and work ethic did not go unnoticed. Thank you for making this a very positive experience.

    Kathleen was fantastic to work with every step of the way in selling my moms home. She was extremely knowledgable on the market in the area and got offers on our house almost immediately after listing. I cannot recommend Kathleen enough!

    Kathleen Comerford is simply outstanding. She helped me sell my mom's house and every single part of the process from our first meeting to closing, was seamless due to Kathleen's professionalism, communication, expertise, and empathy. Her knowledge of the market and efficiency in working with buyers, inspectors, etc. is unmatched. She took the logistics and stress off my plate, making the process effortless and fun. Do yourself a favor and work with Kathleen when selling and buying your properties!
