Kent has deep knowledge of the key residential areas in South St. Pete.
There was quite a bit of uncertainty about the direction of the housing market when we listed.
Kent brought his expertise to the discussions and helped us navigate the options to position our home to sell.
We found Kent to be very amiable, responsive and easy to work with.

It has been a pleasure to work with Kent Rodahaver as our Real Estate Agent!
We found him most knowledgeable about the City of St Petersburg – its history, neighborhoods, and the real estate market. During the initial discussions, he guided us well through the listing and the selling process; pricing strategy; and steps needed before the house was put on the market. During the time the house was on the market, he kept us informed about the market situation, comments he received from potential buyers; he sent us regular marketing reports; and was always available to discuss any question/issue we might have; we felt we were always well informed about the situation. He is delightful to work with.

We chose Kent as our agent to sell our home after interviewing a total of 3 agents. We had met Kent over the years at various open houses and had admired his professionalism and success. He has a great appreciation for the history of our home and the neighborhood. His deep knowledge of the market and his dedication was unmatched and put us at ease throughout the entire process. He took plenty of time to walk us through all the steps and gave us time to consider our options. The property photos were exceptional! He threw an amazing open house that was described by some neighbors as a terrific party. When there were a couple challenges with the contract and/or buyer he came through and helped us get the best deal. He was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Kent is insightful, responsive, upbeat, patient and professional. We are beyond grateful for Kent's expertise and support and cannot recommend him highly enough!

We met Kent a number of years ago, and we were not quite ready to sell. His courteous and professional manner stuck with us. Fast forward to this past month, and we called Kent, to help sell our house. He knows this market like the back of his hand. They took beautiful pictures of our house along with a very descriptive write up of the house. It sold the first day listed. Kent stuck with us throughout the inspection process until close. I would recommend him to everyone and would definitely use him again. He is a ten out of ten. Alex

If you are looking for a highly skilled, strategic, and knowledgeable real estate professional in St. Petersburg, Florida, we highly recommend Kent Rodahaver. Kent is exactly the kind of Realtor you want representing your interests during a home purchase.
We originally contacted Kent to evaluate a home in South St. Petersburg while we were out of town. From the very beginning, he went far beyond a typical real estate showing. Kent conducted a detailed and thorough walkthrough of the property, carefully assessing the home’s condition, market value, and overall investment potential. His extensive knowledge of the South St. Pete real estate market gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process.
What truly set Kent apart was his ability to strategically guide us through a changing negotiation situation. When the first buyer’s contract on the property unexpectedly fell through, Kent immediately stepped in and leveraged his experience to our advantage. He obtained and reviewed prior inspection documents for us, which saved us significant time and money during the due diligence process.
Kent also expertly advised us on adjusting our offer strategy and recommended a revised purchase price based on real-time market conditions and comparable home values in South St. Petersburg. His attention to detail and strong negotiation skills were invaluable, including the precise contract language and terms he suggested to better protect our interests throughout the transaction.
Because of Kent’s expertise, market knowledge, negotiation strategy, and guidance, we ultimately saved a substantial amount of money compared to what we initially expected to spend on the home.
Beyond his professionalism and deep understanding of the local real estate market, Kent was responsive, trustworthy, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire experience.
We strongly recommend Kent Rodahaver for anyone buying or selling a home in St. Petersburg, South St. Pete, Bahama Shores, Pinellas Point, or the greater Tampa Bay real estate market. If you are searching for a knowledgeable St. Petersburg Realtor, experienced negotiator, luxury real estate expert, or trusted local advisor, Kent Rodahaver is an outstanding choice.

Meeting with Kent only sent waves of confidence that we had selected the right Agent. His credentials were impeccable and also amazing! Always responded, knew the marketplace and the players, helpful when we had hurricanes…. Can’t say enough nor praise him enough for helping us sell my mother’s home after she passed… It’s really great when you trust someone and they exceed your expectations.

Kent is simply heads and shoulders above any other broker I've ever worked with, and I've worked with dozens as a former investor.
When it has come to buying or selling my personal property - he's the only person I have, or will, use.
Kent has now sold 2 homes and helped us buy 3 homes.
I can truthfully say his listing and marketing for the sell of the Dunedin home was the best I've ever seen. This resulted in multiple competing, over asking offers, on the first weekend on market. It was worthy of a TV episode. I literally had people ask about him when they say the listing.
But honestly, it isn't the shiny marketing that sets him apart, even though his is unbeatable. It is his ability to navigate some of the toughest situations and help get to the other side of it feeling safe. He's a never ending fountain of knowledge and can bring peace to even the most stressful situations. Our last purchase was with a less than trustworthy flipper and non-English speaking broker. It was the stuff of nightmares. At its worst he made a series of calls and moves that saved us thousands of dollars, took the stress level from a 10 to a 1, and got us to the closing table on time. Savior.
He's on the Christmas card list forever.
You cannot do better.

If you're looking for the best Realtor in Lakewood Estates or St. Petersburg, Florida, we cannot recommend Kent Rodahaver highly enough. From the moment we decided to sell our Mid-Century Modern home in Lakewood Estates, Kent brought an incredible combination of local market knowledge, creative marketing strategies, and genuine care to the entire process.
Kent's expertise in Mid-Century Modern architecture and the St. Petersburg real estate market helped position our home perfectly. He guided us through staging, pricing, and marketing in a way that showcased the property's unique design and attracted highly qualified buyers. The results exceeded our expectations—our home sold in just 48 hours and for significantly above the asking price.
What truly sets Kent apart is his professionalism, responsiveness, honesty, and commitment to his clients. He made the home-selling process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. If you're considering selling a home in Lakewood Estates, St. Petersburg, or anywhere in the Tampa Bay area, we would recommend Kent Rodahaver without hesitation.

Kent was extremely professional throughout the selling process. He often went well above and beyond what a "standard" Realtor would do (from my experience) - from the professional videography, to a standalone website for my home, to supplying a few pieces of staging furniture at no extra cost, to very personal offers of assistance while I was living away while the house was listed, such as collecting my mail and forwarding it, taking care of a few maintenance issue, and even offering to mow my grass, when my lawn company went AWOL! I definitely recommend Kent for any of your real estate needs. I would use him again for any future selling or buying needs.
"
- Mark Weimer

Kent was phenomenal for us. His communication and understanding of both the market and home selling process kept us at ease. He was never pushy - always transparent about how certain scenarios could play out.
The marketing/presentation around our listing were fantastic. He really understood what points to focus on that made our property unique and attractive to potential buyers.
Everything was smooth and easy. Never felt uncomfortable or out of control during the process. We would 100% use Kent again in the future.

Kent is an expert on the St. Pete housing market! He and his team made the process of selling our home and buying a new home feel seamless. He advised us on preparing our house for listing, and we had an offer after just six days on the market. Our new home was also one of his listings, and we could not be happier.

Kent’s the professional you want on your side! - We asked Kent to help us look at a house and assess its value since we were out of town and it looked perfect for us. He was great! Not only did he do a thorough walk through he coached us on its value and fair offering price based on his extensive knowledge of houses on the market in South St Pete. He particularly showed his expertise when a buyer’s first offer on this house “fell through” and Kent was able to get inspection documents ( saving us money and time) and advised us on revising our offer price and provided the detailed wording in the contract - all of which saved us significant amount of money from what we originally thought we would be spending. Now that’s a great agent! We highly recommend him!

Kent is amazing!! He sold our home on day one and got us above asking price. Can’t ask for more than that! He is an expert at marketing and utilizes social media for maximum visibility. The videos he put out for virtual walkthrough were highly professional and fun. At the other end of the spectrum he represented us in finding our new home and negotiated a great deal at a great price. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Kent is the ultimate professional.

Kent was able to help me prepare, deep-clean, and stage my St Petersburg, FL home. The time from our initial meeting to the actual listing was less than a month. Due to his thorough preparation and amazing marketing, we were under contract in 6 days! Kent did a GREAT JOB! I am now loving my home in Boiling Springs, SC.

Selling our St Petersburg home required more than simply putting it on the market; it required a strategic marketing plan and strong negotiation skills. Kent Rodahaver delivered both.
After listing our home in Greater Pinellas Point, Kent created and published a professional property video that far exceeded our expectations. The marketing generated immediate interest, resulting in five showings during the first weekend and two strong offers. It was clear that buyers were already excited about the home before they ever walked through the front door.
The results speak for themselves. Kent understands how to market a home, attract qualified buyers, and negotiate effectively on behalf of his clients. In our experience, those skills made all the difference. Marketing matters. Negotiation matters. Kent excels at both.

- Robert Carter (Seller)

Selling our home in Greater Pinellas Point was a significant decision, and Kent Rodahaver exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, Kent was professional, respectful, responsive, and, perhaps most importantly, an outstanding listener. Selling a home is often an emotional experience, and Kent took the time to understand our goals, concerns, and priorities every step of the way.
What truly impressed us was his marketing expertise. Kent understands the Greater Pinellas Point and St. Petersburg real estate market and knows how to position a home to attract the right buyers. At his own expense, he arranged for a professional cinematic video that highlighted our home's best features and showcased the unique lifestyle that makes this area so desirable. The presentation was creative, sophisticated, and incredibly effective. We are convinced that many prospective buyers arrived already excited about the property because of the way it was marketed.
Kent's negotiation skills were equally impressive. While we weren't part of every conversation behind the scenes, the final sales price spoke for itself. His ability to market, position, and negotiate the sale of our home delivered outstanding results. We would recommend Kent without hesitation to anyone considering selling a home in Greater Pinellas Point, St. Petersburg, or anywhere in the Tampa Bay area.

Kent had our home under contract in five days and sold our home in six weeks for full asking price. We always felt we were in good hands throughout the process with Kent as our agent. We highly recommend Mr. Rodahaver if you’re in search of a real estate agent. You'll realize what I mean on the first day you interview him for the job. He will blow you away. Call him. You can thank me later :).
