Kristi was a delightful, honest, and patient person to work with. She was very helpful in listening to what our needs / wants were in our new house and showed us many that were in our price range, and helped us locate one that was just right! I would highly recommend her for your future home purchase, and i will definitely use her if we ever decide to move to a new house! Thank you Kristi for everything!!

Used Sara from his team to purchase home in 2019. They were on top of everything from start to finish. Helped with finding a va lender, insurance and could not have been more professional. Negotiated a good deal andeven got us a closing date that worked as we needed to delay that by 45 days due to usbeing in a lease on a rental home. I spent 15 years in the mortgage business and I can tell you this was top notch.

Hello my name is Bryan Weatherman. My wife, Janelle and I plus two boys Cason and Hayden recently moved to Odessa, Fl from North Carolina. With the hustle and bustle of moving State to state we had little time to search for homes in Fl. We found Erik through an online search. What we found was gold. Erik’s personality was the first thing that stood out to us. We felt as if we knew him for years even though we had never met. The second thing that stood out was his dedication to our family’s goal of finding the house we wanted and needed. He would visit homes and neighborhoods while video chatting with us. The third and most important thing that stood out was his attitude. We’ve dealt with many realtors and have never received the personal touch we have received from Erik. We have not only gained a realtor, but a true friend.

Anthony Fonte and Darcy McKinney are the superhero dream team. They went above and beyond to guide us and keep us informed virtually daily during our selling and buying experience. We will never go to another team for our real estate needs. We are beyond pleased. Thank you!

This group is top notch on every level when it comes to buying and selling a home. They are extremely professional and amazingly attentive. Sean and Darcy seemed to have answers for every one of our obstacles...not only answers, but answers in case the original answers fell through! Sean and Darcy make you feel as though you are their ONLY focus even though they take care of multiple clients daily. Selling and buying a home simultaneously can provide for an extremely stressful life...This team ensures seamless processes even through the most stressful of times. There was never a doubt that they were working tirelessly to ensure as smooth a process as possible with our transactions. As long as they are practicing, we will remain loyal to Sean and his entire team!

Sean Bates is a very professional realtor. I've dealt with many other realtors and his work is far superior. Furthermore, he has excellent customer service skills and has went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him!

Our experience with Sean and his assistant, Darcy, has been great. It's not easy finding people that have true dedication and passion for their jobs, but it's clear when you work with this team.

Sean was super responsive and made himself available for showings on our schedule. He also came through when the appraisal for the home we were buying came in well under the contract price. I thought for sure the deal would fall apart, but Sean was able to negotiate with the listing agent and, in the end, we got the house for 30k under the list price!

Darcy stepped in after the house was under contract. She did a fantastic job of keeping us on track and ensuring all the details involved in the home buying process were taken care of. I really appreciated her help especially when things got a bit stressful.

Long story short --I highly recommend Sean and Darcy. We plan to work with them again once we're ready to list our house.

Looking to buy a home? Need a realtor? Sean Bates is who you want. You want Bello Home Team in your corner. Sean has a wealth of knowledge about real estate and the market here in the Tampa Bay area. Darcy, Sean’s assistant, is a godsend. She has the heart of an angel and the get-it-done of a Clydesdale. Both Sean and Darcy are easygoing and personable. They are a pleasure to work with.

We reached out to Sean after he was recommended to us by our mortgage company. His team jumped right on our search for a new home. Darcy called us that evening to get a feel for what we needed and wanted in a home. I was always able to reach one or both of them even at late hours when I was having a panic attack about some small detail. Buying a home is a big decision, folks! You want someone who has or who can get you the answers knowing that even the small stuff feels like big stuff. Darcy helped me find the association covenants for a community so I knew if I could plant my avocado tree. True story!

Big stuff? Not a problem for this team either. We hit a snafu in the inspection of the first home we wanted to buy. Sean handled it in stride helping us withdraw our offer and get us right back out the next day looking again. When we made an offer on the home we purchased, Sean was on top of the negotiation process. He even managed to save us a bit more money after we thought the dealing was tapped out.

Hubby and I recommend Sean Bates without reservation. Give his team a call. You won’t regret it

Very knowledgeable about the area we were interested in and was spot on with appraisal of the house. Kept us informed at every stage of the process. Gave us contact names for homeowners insurance and a list of names and numbers for pasco government agencies.

When we were looking for a home or condo to purchase, Sean's associates Sarah and Darcy were patient with us. We started looking and we thought that we found the perfect place, but decided it was not the right time for us to buy. A few months later, we contacted Sarah. Sarah worked very hard to find the perfect place for us to purchase. We had a couple of delays with financing, Sarah and Darcy were there to comfort us through these trying times. Sarah was by our side while we were at closing which made us feel comfortable. I cannot thank Sarah and Darcy enough for all the hard work they have done for us to make the buying experience a breeze.
