Chris Herbst provided excellent guidance during the entire process of the purchase as did his entire office. Always returning my emails, text, and calls in an extremely prompt manor address all my inquiries as the purchaser. The entire office undertook their duties responsibly and professionally. Their use of modern way of closing a deal is second to none which saved so much time in the tedious process of signing documents. Every question and issue was clearly stated and address. Extremely professional.

Rob and Chris were a pleasure to work with as we looked to sell our home. They are professional, friendly, knowledgable, and always looked out for our best interest when representing us to any potential buyer. I highly recommend them.

We used Chris to buy a home down in Lakewood Ranch and he gave us a tremendous amount of options. We purchased a beautiful little single story we couldnt be more happy with. Chris was patient and never pushy. He let us explore each home at our own pace and answered all our questions. We liked him so much, were having him sell my wifes fathers home. Not an easy task! Thank you Chris.

I am so glad I chose Chris Herbst and the McGuire team when relocating to Tampa! I knew I wanted to retire here, and I looked at some listing online, but I needed help. Chris asked all the right questions and then showed me condos that were right for me. Once I found what I was looking for, he suggested what to offer, which ended up saving me money. He even met with the inspector and did the walkthrough because I was still in Georgia. I couldnt have done it without him and the team he works with. I will recommend Chris Herbst and the McGuire team to anyone moving to the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater area. Thanks Chris!
