"We chose Shane to help us find our first home almost a year ago and we are delighted that we did. Shane is a good friend and made the whole process so easy. He was always light-hearted and fun when previewing listings but asked the right questions for us to really think and guide us to the home that was right for us. I had only known Shane on a personal level before this experience. This being my first real estate transaction, I was naïve at just how important one's real estate agent is. Shane absolutely excelled in this regard. His communication was superb and we did not feel stupid asking any questions. His knowledge of the area and the market was very impressive but most impressive was his negotiation skills when were under contract. Shane utilized his team at Carpenter Kessel as well as other connections (Structural Engineer, home inspector) to secure us our home for $50,000 under appraised value! We chose Shane as he was a friend and someone we trust but we will recommend him to friends and family because of his professionalism, determination, and competency. Thank you, Shane."

"Shane Burgman did an excellent job helping us sell our home in record time during the holidays. He was quick to communicate with all of our texts, emails, and phone calls. He understood our needs to list the house quickly and went above and beyond with every detail. He is dedicated to his work and his negotiating skills are top-notch. The whole listing process went very smoothly. Shane’s whole team did an amazing job and our listing really stood out with professional photos, videos, 3D tours, and drone footage. We have never seen a Realtor® as creative as Shane. He creates unique and humorous videos on his social media pages. Sometimes in costume or no clothing at all. He sings, raps, and amazes us! And at the closing of a sale, he captures some great photos of a champagne bottle pop toast! Shane is exceptional at his job and is a perspicacious Realtor®. He is a very kind, thoughtful, and gregarious human being. His effulgent copper-colored beard holds magical powers when it comes to selling a house. We highly recommend him as he is an adroit Realtor® and entertainer."

"From the moment we received a consultation we knew Carpenter Kessel was a fit for us.

"From the moment we received a consultation we knew Carpenter Kessel was a fit for us. They were the first team to actually provide a detailed analysis of our home's worth based on the surrounding comps and the value we put into it. They listed our home for what they believed it would sell for. Within 10 days we had multiple offers. Unfortunately, the offer we excepted fell thru. They re-listed our home and within hours we had multiple showings and an offer. We closed promptly for close to our asking price. From list to close every interaction with the C and K team exceeded our expectations. They also kept us safe during COVID-19. Dewayne Clyde Carpenter and his team made the process as easy as possible. Lastly, their marketing campaign is top-notch! We've sold a lot of homes and have never received or experienced an online marketing package like what they prepare. We can't thank them enough. Thank You."

"Amy did such a fantastic job selling my first Florida home 5 years ago, that I asked her to help me sell my second Florida home recently. I chose Amy because I knew of her expertise in the Viera area and I knew I could trust her to list my home for a price that would be a win-win for me and a pot..."

"Amy did such a fantastic job selling my first Florida home 5 years ago, that I asked her to help me sell my second Florida home recently. I chose Amy because I knew of her expertise in the Viera area and I knew I could trust her to list my home for a price that would be a win-win for me and a potential buyer. She was exceptionally responsive to all the various issues that needed to be settled before the house went on the market. During the pandemic, safety was always first on her mind to protect us, the sellers, any potential buyers who came to see our home, and herself, of course! We just loved working with Amy! She sold our home in under 1 week at a price that made us very happy. I highly recommend Amy Kalman as your real estate agent!"
