Safety Harbor, FL
We contacted Ted because my mom and her husband purchased their homes with him and they had an incredible experience with him. Ted helped me since the minute I texted him. We were moving from California so we didn't know the areas that well. Ted was very knowledge and knew exactly what we were looking for. The process with him was smoothly and we are now happy homeowners in Florida. I can't thank him enough for walking us through this process.
Ted is a local realtor that is an expert in the safety harbor area. He helped us through selling our home. He was extremely responsive to all communication and any concerns. He was always available to us by phone/text. He is extremely knowledgeable in the whole process, which was very helpful, as we were pretty clueless. The ups and downs on our house selling journey were made easier due to his sense of humor and grace with the entire process. He even sent us wine when one of our buyers backed out and commiserated with us. He's patient, understanding, and not stuffy at all. If you're stuck trying to sell your home during this chaotic "buyers market," you can't go wrong with Ted.
Working with Ted Ciske which truly a 5- star experience! From our first meeting, he was professional honest and truly cared plus genuinely invested in helping us relocate from New York State to safety Harbour Florida in Pinellas County. Ted listened to our needs and found us a home that exceeded our expectations. Even when we felt things getting stressful Ted kept us informed and calm. We couldnt be happier with our new home and recommend Ted Ciske to everyone. He is highly knowledgeable in the area and when looking for a realtor, his name kept coming up very often as an expert in safety Harbour.
Ive had the pleasure of working with Ted Ciske several times, this time having him help sell our home, and every experience has been outstanding. Teds knowledge of Saint Petersburg, Florida and the surrounding areas is truly impressiveaEUR"he always knows exactly where to look and how to position a property for success. What really sets Ted apart, though, is his personality. Hes incredibly helpful, kind, and genuinely fun to work with, which makes what can often be a stressful process feel easy and enjoyable. He consistently goes above and beyond in every way, even showing up with homemade cookies, which is such a thoughtful and memorable touch! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Ted to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. A true professional who consistently delivers five-star service. He's a real gem!
Ted was recommended to me by a friend and he lived up to all the glowing compliments my friend had to offer him! My property was put on the market at the end of January and closed at the beginning of April. Very quick turn-around for current market conditions and was sold at a fair price. I highly recommend Ted if you are thinking about selling a Florida property. He was EXCELLENT!
Ted is absolutely amazing! He knowledgeable, professional, and knows everything about the real estate in the area. He made the process so smooth and made sure I knew what to expect during each phase of buying my first home. Additionally, he's one of the best people I've worked with in any capacity. He's great to be around as a person, in addition to being the best real estate agent anyone could ask for.
Ted has had a great reputation over the years, that is why I chose to use him help me sell my home. He did not disappoint. Ted is not only professional, he is kind and understanding. Any bumps we hit, he was the calming force. It was not the easiest sale, but Ted navigated everyone through! I highly recommend him.
As first-time homebuyers who truly knew nothing about the process, we are so incredibly grateful we had Ted by our side. From the very beginning, he treated us like family, and that level of care meant everything to us. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially when you do not speak the aEURoereal estate language,aEUR? but Ted made sure we never felt lost. He took the time to explain everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand. No question ever felt too small, and he always made us feel comfortable asking anything. He kept us on track, reminded us when we needed to take action, and if something came up, he was the first to handle it. He checked in on us often just to see how we were doing and genuinely cared about how we were feeling throughout the entire process. What we appreciated most is that Ted did not just help us buy a house. He made the experience enjoyable. He somehow turned something that could have been stressful into something exciting and fun. We truly could not have asked for a better person to guide us as first-time buyers. We are so thankful for Ted and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, supportive, and fully invested in his clients.
Ted was amazing! This was my first time selling a house. He was very informative and always a speedy response to my never ending questions. My mother was moved in to a nursing home and I had to sell the home. It was a super emotional process for me and Ted was very kind and understanding. Definitely went above and beyond what I would normally expect from any real estate agent. Highly recommend!
Ted is a wealth of knowledge and patience! We were looking for a home in Florida (from Ohio) away from water issues. No HOA or CCD. Plus we need a fence or at least be able to install one for dogs. He listened to our needs and didnt try to show us what we wouldnt want. He never hesitated to call the seller if we had questions! I would recommend Ted to anyone who asked!
Words cant describe the relationship and professionalism Ted showed us through the whole home buying process. Ted started as our agent went to our cheerleader to now will remain family. Ted never hid anything and always kept us informed. Ted truly took our wishlist and found our dream home. You will not be disappointed working with Ted. Truly from the bottom of my heart and my husbands we can not say thank you enough for everything.
Ted was awesome. I bought my first house and he was there every step of the way. He made this as smooth as could be. He was in contact with me all the time. He would answer all my questions. He went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend him.
I can't say enough about Ted! He is the most genuine person and amazing at what he does! The entire process of searching for, visiting, and making an offer on our new home was stress free and fun! Ted truly cares about his clients, listens to their needs, concerns, and wishes, and provides input when necessary. He will not allow you to make the wrong decision. We've made a friend for life! If you're in the market to buy or sell, ASK FOR TED! You won't regret it!
Ted did an outstanding job assisting us with the sale of our condo. He helped us buy our condo 13 years ago and assisted us in selling it currently. He was personable and professional in working with us. Ted is very knowledgeable in the real estate business especially in the complex we bought and sold in. He was instrumental with our family members as well. He sold my Dad's condo in 2010. He assisted our sister in buying 2 condos and then later selling one of them for her as well. Ted goes out of his way to help his buyers and sellers. Would highly recommend Ted Ciske for any Real Estate transactions you may need.
Ted Ciske helped me in buying my first home. He is knowledgeable and quick in looking for the right home. He would not hesitate to gave his honest opinion about the house and the neighborhood.
I hired Ted to sell my condo as a last hope. My condo sat on the market for 9 months with zero offers and I had become frustrated and discouraged. I was about to give up hope of a sale and take my condo off the market, but I noticed one condo in my HOA recently sold and it had been on the market for only a short time. Ted was the listing agent of that condo. I sent Ted a message, asking him if he would be willing to try to sell my condo. He responded immediately and we got the process started. Ted was very knowledgeable and told me what we needed to do, to make the sale happen. I agreed but I secretly thought that it was a lost cause. Ted got the listing ready and much to my great surprise, we received an offer, only 2 days after I relisted my condo! I couldn't believe it! During the process, Ted arranged to have all the necessary paperwork submitted by my HOA and property management company to make the deal go through. He was always on top of everything and advocating on my behalf when unexpected issues arose. And thanks to his expertise, I was able to sell my condo, as the other condos in my HOA, continued to languish. I can't thank Ted enough for his representation and I highly recommend him as a realtor, especially during a challenging market. Ted has the magic touch, if you list your property with him, and take his expert advice, you will have a sale. Thank you, Ted!
Ted is an Excellent addition to finding the perfect home. His knowledge of local areas is amazing! He helped me find my perfect house in the area I needed to be in. Communication was outstanding so I knew where I was in the process at all times and he even got a friends company to come cut the grass for me before I moved in so it looked great. This is my third home buying adventure with Ted, and I can tell you I would never call anyone else. Call Ted, you will be happy you did. Terry K
Ted was a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgable of Safety Harbor and the surrounding areas. He went above and beyond what was expected to get our purchase done and worked well with the sellers agent. We highly recommend Ted to handle your real estate needs.
Ted did an outstanding job for us. We used him when we bought our home and now he has walked us through this chapter of selling it. Hes very personable, energetic, knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He strives to make everything fall into place without a hitch! In the end he becomes family!
Ted did an excellent job with my son who was a first time seller. Ted was very patient in explaining every thing that he needed to do to get his condo ready for viewing. Ted kept us both informed of all showings, all comments, and all offers made. Both my son and I will be using Ted in the future for our real estate needs.

While we did encounter some challenges during our home-buying journey, Ted Ciske's professionalism and commitment truly made a difference. Although we faced a few issues with the inspection and appraisal, Ted was right there to help us navigate through the problems. He provided clear communication and worked tirelessly to resolve the issues, ensuring that we stayed informed and comfortable with our decisions.

Ted is outstanding agent. He followed through every step with me to complete my purchase. Very patient, and always went out of his way to help with anything I needed. Knows the area very well. I appreciate all he done for me. Highly recommend Ted for your next sale or purchase. Thanks Ted
Ted is truly just a wonderful human. From moment one, he feels like a friend. He's a wealth of information, and shares it freely, in a way that's easy to understand. Ted is one of those people who can transition seamlessly from professional to a witty one liner, and make everyone at the closing table laugh. He's a gem of a person, and the local real estate industry is lucky to have him.
Ted is an excellent agent. Highly recommended to ease the stress of selling and buying process of your home. Ted is easy to communicate with and he will always answer any questions that you have. Great in understanding your needs and using the resources he will guide you towards the best possible outcome weather you are selling or buying.
Ted navigated the sale of my home with care, compassion, and swift negotiation. Throughout the process Teds sense of humor and ability to relay the pertinent information I needed to stay informed and up to date, made the process of giving up my home if 37 years bearable. Ted is a peach.. he offered his time easily, always answered his phone when I reached out and effectively answered my questions and concerns. Ted shared his knowledge of trade professionals who were necessary as we navigated inspection lists and needed services.. As an individual without the best tech skills both Ted and his closing team were a huge help. I am grateful!!
Such Unprofessional behavior. I called him to ask few things regarding his listings and to every question I asked he answered with such rudeness and with no manners. Either he doesn't take his profession seriously or he doesn't know how to talk to someone who wants to buy his property. I've never been more infuriated with any agents behavior except for this guy. People like him are the reason who spoil the Real Estate Industry. I'd never suggest anyone to even speak with him let alone work with him.
Ted is absolutely amazing, If you want to get it sold go to Ted. This is the second property I sold with him which he was able to sell and less than a week.
Ted was so helpful with selling my elderly parents home! I had been completely overwhelmed with emptying and preparing the house for sale. Ted brought his knowledge and compassion and helped to steer us in the right direction. He was always available for advice. Listing the house and closing on it went smoothly. I can proudly recommend Ted!
I recently purchased a house with Ted. He did an outstanding job throughout the process, contract negotiation, communicating in timely manner, following up, coordinating inspection etc. I appreciated his market knowledge and working directly with him rather than dealing with multiple people.
Ted is hands down one of the best people I know. He made our home buying process feel stress free and was very knowledgeable with everything that has to do with reality. Ted understood what our family was looking for and made it happen for us. I recommend Ted to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase and will continue to.
Ted did an outstanding job at helping us find our first home! He was knowledgeable about the area where we were looking to buy, made the looking process fun, explained every step along the way, and really was our advocate for the buy. I would recommend Ted to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Ted was outstanding! Our house sold in less than a week :). Ted made the process of selling our home an absolute breeze. Ted was organized and on-time throughout the closing of the sale of our home. The approach of selling itself seemed daunting at first, but not with Ted. His expertise on the area and his fun-loving personality made our family comfortable and secure. He really is an amazing individual an much more than just an agent to our family.
Ted personalizes the experience and educates you every step of the way aEUR| feels like family selling your home for you aEUR| seamless experience aEUR|. Shout out to a phenomenal realtor aka advocate
Ted has guided me through a few transactions in the last couple years. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and calm. We had to navigate some issues that came up during inspection, he told me exactly how to handle things and even went to the house to meet a technician when I was out of town. The process could not have been smoother. I highly recommend him!
I had been looking for a Safety Harbor property to add to my portfolio. I called Safety Harbor expert Ted Ciske and he had the perfect opportunity. The best part was he answered his phone the first time I called. His EXPERIENCE really helped myself and the sellers get to the closing table with no hassles. I highly recommend Ted for your buying or selling needs.
As a Safety Harbor real estate legend, Ted Ciske came highly recommended when we needed to sell an elderly relatives home. To say we were overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to sell a house from out of state would be an understatement. Teds knowledge, expertise, transparency, and genuine kindness ensured that this entire transaction went flawlessly. Everyone we spoke to during this process spoke so very highly of Ted too. This property was sort of a unique situation but Ted developed a strategy that ultimately resulted in an excellent outcome for everyone involved. I wouldnt hesitate to do business with Ted again and highly recommend him for your real estate needs. When it comes time to sell our other Tampa Bay property, well definitely be going straight to Ted!
When we wanted to move to Tampa from St. Petersburg 2 years ago to be closer to family, Ted sold our home in just 3 days. We just wanted to rent here in Tampa to make sure this is what we wanted. We decided two months ago to look for a home again. So of course we contacted Ted. He immediately began looking for us, knowing that we had specific neighborhoods in mind. He sent us listings almost daily and drove from St. Petersburg to Tampa whenever we found something we wanted to see. He put up with our "pickiness" and found us the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood that is within walking distance of our grandchildren and sister. We are in the process of moving in, just two months later!
Ted was awesome!! From the moment we engaged with him to the final minutes of closing he was right there with us. His knowledge and expertise was amazing. He guided us through the process with ease and made the entire sell portion less stressful. If you are looking for an agent that has your best interest at heart look no further than Ted....hes one in a million!!!!
Ted helped me purchase an amazing condo in the best community I found in the Countryside area of Clearwater, Florida. He initially guided me to the most suitable possibilities based on my wants and needs. Then he showed me listings for many potential units, which together we narrowed down to my favorites. Then he took me around to each of them until I was sure which unit I wanted to submit an offer for. The process was the easiest and best I have been through because of Ted's knowledge of the area and his excellent professional advice. He then went above and beyond, representing me in person while I was out of state, ensuring I was able to close on time with zero issues. Finally, it is worth mentioning that I chose to work with Ted because a good friend had purchased three homes in the past with his help and spoke so highly of him.
Ted recently helped me buy a home and he made the entire process seamless! His knowledge and professionalism made for a very smooth search and purchase. He answered every question I had with patience and really took the time to listen to what type of property I was interested in. I was very specific in my desired location and he did a fantastic job helping me make my goal a reality! He was always available when I needed to reach him and his contacts involved in the transaction were as top notch as he is. He will always be who I turn to for future real estate and I highly recommend him!
Ted was our agent on 3 separate properties.He is quite knowledgeable and answered all our questions in easy to understand terms.Ted is quite personable and negotiated prices on all 3 properties that were very favorable for us.Closings were quick without any problems.If and when we are ready to sell these properties we would definitely contact Ted.
Ted Ciske is ENCLYCLOPEDIC in his knowledge of all things Pinellas County! From what areas suit our needs (restaurants, bars, stores, beaches, grocery store locations, schools, parks) to being a master negotiator on all items dealing with this purchase front to back. Ted answers his phone - Ted goes the extra mile for his clients - Ted is a professional through and through - Ted fights the battles that, as a buyer, could have sidelined the deal without his expertise - Ted made it happen, in a timely manner and on budget! Ted is a kind and generous human - this is our 3rd transaction with Ted - we could not have asked for a better agent!
Ted helped me buy this home 3 years ago and got it under contract in less than a week in the current market for my next adventure! Ted is fantastic. I always want him on my side to navigate any transaction! Everything was smooth sailing from start to finish and I got exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend Ted to anyone looking in the Tampa Bay Area. I only wish I could take him out of state with me for all my future homes!
We listed and sold one of our properties in 2021and Ted got us top dollar! It was a no brainer to work with Ted again when we wanted to purchase an investment property! He was very knowledgeable and efficient and definitely on the ball! Thank you Ted for your patience and helping us become landlords! Diane & Marco
Ted is a fantastic real estate professional! Ted's knowledge of all procedures and timelines is vast and unerring. Ted was empathetic, and the solid support system that my brother and I needed when preparing, listing and selling our parents beautiful home in Safety Harbor. Ted understood the complexity of selling through a Living Trust/Estate and made any of the choices or decisions, and necessary steps easy to traverse. Ted made sure that all showing appointments were personalized; anyone viewing the home was welcomed with snacks, beverages, and a smile. Ted gave my brother and I the calm, rational view of someone who has "seen it all" in the real estate world, whose advice was always spot on. Ted oversaw every situation with humor and grace. Ted is a professional through and through aEUR" not to mention one heck of a kind, understanding human. Dedication, skill, lightning responsiveness all describe this devoted agent. Ted answers his phone, returns his calls, responds to his texts and his emails, manages all the paperwork, scheduling, and all tasks PERSONALLY!!! Ted dedicated as much time as was needed by my brother and I; we never felt rushed into any step; we were given the details, answers to endless questions or concerns and facts/feedback and instruction we needed to move forward each step of the way. All of this resulted in a successful transaction and substantial sale price. We cannot thank Ted enough for making the sale of our parents home effortless in task - Ted went above and beyond in EVERY aspect of this experience - thank you (thank you is not enough!) for everything. The Adducci's.
Ted was great with the sale of my home. He made everything simple and easy. He is a great guy also. I would definitely deal with him again when i need to buy a house. Thank you for being so easy to work with and making selling a house an easy experienced.
Working with Ted has been an absolute pleasure. He helped me every step of the way and provided great resources for referrals to me to make the process even easier. After closing, hes even checked in with me and provided exceptional assistance. I would highly recommend working with Ted!
I was renting a property (for 3.5 years) that Ted recently sold. He was the realtor for both the seller (my landlords) and the buyer. I had a lease to remain as a renter through 12/31/2023, but with Ted's help we worked out an arrangement that was not only satisfactory but beneficial to all parties involved. Through the sale process he was extremely considerate and respectful of my situation and my privacy. If I do buy a home in Safety Harbor, Ted will be the one I go to. He is very knowledgeable about the area and a pleasure to work with. Forget 5 star, he's a 10 star kind of guy.
