Kathleen is a great real estate agent who clearly understands what you are looking for. She is always on your side as a client during the entire process and delivers an awesome service from the starting point until the closing. You can always rely on her and you find very valuable support at any time, regardless what question you do have. I would always get back to buy again with that leading edge professional team. Highly recommended.
Kathleen was very professional and very knowledgeable. She went over and above when showing me properties and following through to the end. I never felt like I was alone. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell their properties.
This is a AA Team and between them they have 40 years of experience in the South Florida Market.Kathleen is a top professional, whether you are buying or selling.She seems to know EXACTLY what I am looking for when Im buying and comes up with perfect options. When Im selling, she is very knowledgeable about where my property should be priced in order to sell, and then she produces buyers - and more importantly - offers.She is a delight to spend time with, very professional and very much plugged in.
Marina helped helped us purchase our first condo 8 years ago. She was relentless and helped us make sure that we did everything possible to be first bidder on a unit that had 25 other bids. She worked day and night to ensure that all the documents were completed thoroughly and that there was no errors that could potentially result in us losing our unit.Fast forward to 8 years later where we were looking to sell our unit. I emailed Marina and she did not waste anytime in getting the unit listed and an accepted offer within 1 week! She truly is an incredible broker who is passionate About what she does and wants the best for her clients.Thank you Marina!!! You haven’t gotten rid of me yet.Maria Fazio
Kathleen was the selling agent of a house listed in Miramar, Fl. I was the buyer. I must say that I was very impressed by her tenacity and the way she stood up for her sellers through the entire negotiations. At the same time Kathleen was fair, honest and very professional with me the buyer. I felt this transaction was a win/win for both me the buyer and her client the seller. Kathleen kept my agent informed every step of the way. She was always available to answer the hard questions. She taught us all that honest communication is the key to successful closing. Thanks Kathleen!!!🙂
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Kathleen and Marina. We sold our home very quickly and both ladies made the process very easy. Both ladies are very knowledgeable and handled every issue that surfaced with professionalism. I would definitely recommend the services of Kathleen and Marina because they know and understand the real estate business very well.
Marina and Kathleen did a wonderful job selling my villa. Their professionalism and experience guided me through the sales process and was invaluable. My home was under contract three days after listing and closed a month later without problem. I would not hesitate to recommend or use their services in the future.
Maria and Kathleen were able to sell both my condo and my parents condo. The were able to bring both properties to closing within a target date that was based on a job relocation. Both worked together to give me a realistic expectation for the contract and the process. Both of these transactions occurred with me being out of state. Both Maria and Kathleen were able to provide me with all of the tools I needed to process the contracts and sales without any delay. Kathleen and Maria also provided door to door service for my parents and also hand carried many documents to my parents, who were not able to travel and sign the documents by themselves. Both Maria and Kathleen are the most professional and friendly real estate brokers that I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I have recommended both of them to several other clients.
We were very pleased to work with Marina! She helped us find the perfect condo that fit our desires and our budget. She is very professional and a very kind person. A couple of years ago she helped our son and daughter-in-law realize their dream of owning a house in south Florida. That transaction had a few unexpected twists and turns and Marina went above and beyond to help finalize everything. She really cares about her clients.We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with both Marina and Kathleen on closing day. We highly recommend them!
I have owned and sold many homes throughout my lifetime. As a result I have worked with many realtors across the country. My experience with Marina and Kathleen has exceeded all of my expectations. These highly experienced professionals proved themselves to be knowledgeable, hard-working, and clearly know the south Florida market well. They helped me to price my property appropriately and and were particularly helpful with staging recommendations. Simply stated, they delivered what they said they would do and my home was sold quickly. They were attentive and answered my call’s expeditiously.I recommend them highly and will forever be grateful for their professional services.
My wife and I have bought two condos in Florida. Both times we worked with Kathleen and Marina. Both experiences with them were phenomenal. They treated us more like old friends rather than clients and really went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. They are both very knowledgeable and highly professional. I feel like I could call them at any time with any questions that I have and they will respond right away. I have no problem highly recommending them to anyone who wants to buy or rent real estate in Florida. If you want Realtors who are experts and are at the top of their game, then Kathleen and Marina are the choice for you.
Kathleen was my listing agent and stood by us and kept us informed from beginning and beyond the end. She is to the point and knows her business inside and out.She is on the ball regardless of how others choose to conduct business and literally carried the sale of my house despite having to deal with others who aren’t as put together as she is.Much thanks to you Kathleen. I know you will always remember this sale!
After relocating to Illinois we hired a Realtor and had our house in the market for over a year. Talking to one of our friends about this situation, she suggested to hire a different real estate agent and she recommended Marina Sarabia. We were in Florida for a few days and Marina made accommodations to met with us and to explain us her plan of action. Immediately we noticed that Marina was an expert in the Florida real estate market and we hired her as our new agent. Marina created a wonderful marketing package for our house that included social media postings, virtual tours and beautiful pictures of our property that were taken by her and her partner Kathleen. We were really impressed. After one open house and a week and a half of signing a contract with Marina our property had multiple offers. Selling a property from far away can be challenging, but Marina and her partner made the process very smooth and clear. Real estate transactions can be very stressful for seller and buyers, but we trusted Marina because she made us feel very comfortable. We wanted to close on our Florida property as soon as possible and Marina and her partner made sure that everything was done in a timely manner in order to meet our tight deadline. My husband and I only have good things to say about Marina Sarabia and Kathleen Costanzo. Both are very knowledgeable of the real estate market, are extremely professional and hard working individuals who know how to get the job done. My husband and I had found two wonderful friends and we hope to visit Florida soon and to see them again. If you are planning on selling or buying a property in Florida, dont look any further, hire Marina and Kathleen and you wont be disappointed.
Marina & Kathleen were incredibly professional. This is my third transaction with them. They helped to negotiate an amazing purchase price. They were knowledgeable about the property and its value. They have supplied me with many people to help with the renovations. We would not hesitate to use them for another purchase. Please let them help you.
During our listing experience with Kathleen and Marina, they became like family to us! Our home took some time to sell and they were always on our side helping us make good decisions and always respectful of our ideas. This is what we needed : guidance and professionalism. They always returned our calls and spent much time with us discussing our listing and strategy. This is a process and they did not take any shortcuts. You could not find a better qualified team to work with you, whether you are selling or buying.
They are the BEST! Experienced, knowledgeable, persistent, and always quick to respond.If it’s a complicated, they have the contacts and experience to handle any situation. And it’s just very nice dealing with them!
Kathleen and Marina were absolutely great!!! I was selling a property in South Florida, but I live out of town. Once I listed my Florida property with them, they got a LOT of people looking at it right away.Later, there was a problem in the property which needed someone local to help. Instead of my having to fly all the way back there, Kathleen checked it out herself and even arranged for someone to come in and fix it for me at a reasonable price! This saved me time, money, and hassle. That is WAY BEYOND what I would expect a real estate agent to ever do. When I had one offer go south, Kathleen was very level-headed and got another offer almost immediately which eventually went through.Kathleen and Marina have the maturity, knowledge, experience, and professionalism to do a job far better than just about any other real estate people I have ever done business with. Real estate, especially in South Florida, can be very tricky. But Kathleen and Marina took a lot of the trouble out of it for me and made things much, much easier for me than they would have been otherwise.I would recommend Kathleen and Marina to anyone. If you are buying or selling property in South Florida, call them first. They do absolutely superior work.
We were referred to Marina by one of her former clients. We were told that she was the best and that shell do whatever possible to get us into our dream home. Well I was 8 months pregnant and needing to move back to Miami to be closer to family. Marina knew this and worked hard and fast to get us the house we had described. We found our house pretty quickly and the whole buying process began. Marina was there to help us and guide us through the whole thing! Made everything a little easier. Thank you Marina for everything!!!
100% recommended, great customer service and a lot knowledge. Marina was always there if I have any question about the buying process the process. She returned every single e-mail, call, or text and She made every step clear and easy to understand.As a first buyer I had to many question and fears but She really knows what she is doing and gave us confident.Thanks Marina for this great experience
Ive know Marina & Kathleen for quite some time and when it came to buying a house I reached out to them. The process was seamless from finding a property we liked, making an offer, negotiating making sure everything was in order. I trust and will recommend them hands down and will use their services for any future real estate needs. My wife and I are absolutely happy we are first-time home buyers and it was an amazing experience. :)
Working with Marina and Kathleen as their loan officer is always a dream, they are consummate professionals ! Over the years I am blessed to work with their buyers and our closings are always fabulous occasions!Sondra Dane Supreme Lending
My partner and I first met Kathleen Costanzo at an open house in Pompano beach, in talking with her about our interests and needs, we quickly realized, she was the agent for us. We found a nice townhouse in the neighborhood we wanted, and she helped these, first time buyers get a great place. We not only got a great realtor, but we made a wonderful friend, as well. Kathleen knows how to find what her clients want and need.Shes very professional and kept us calm through out the whole process.
Kathleen was our realtor when we purchased a condo. She was nothing but professional and diligent. We also had the opportunity to use her services again in order to rent the unit. Throughout the whole process, we always felt that she had our best interests in mind in finding the right tenants. When we renovated, she was our eyes and ears since we live out of state. She monitored the progress and went above and beyond. When we purchase another place, we fully intend on using Kathleen.
I have sold and bought many properties with Marina & Kathleen for the past 15 years and every transaction has been flawless or at least they make it that way for you to save you the headaches.. Marina works with the heart and knows the ins and outs of Real Estate like no other agent Ive dealt with, a true professional. They will not let you down! Thanks Marina for helping me yet one more time with another seamless transaction !! to say you are the best is an understatement!
They helped me get my first property. An outstanding service, they walk the extra mile / recommended 100% - Thank you for all your help...!!!
As a first time home buyer I was uncertain of what to expect during my home buying process. I was referred to Marina after a family member had an excellent experience with her.Marina worked very hard to help me find my first home. I was looking at a specific area and on a very specific budget but no challenge was too big for her. All the uncertainty I had about the process was lifted as soon as I saw her dedication and hard work. I now have my new home and the experience couldnt have been better. I recommend Marina to anyone and can guarantee that you will be getting the best.
We have had a positive experience with the Dynamic Dual of Marina & Kathleen of Keller Williams Realty. We have used their expertise, not only to purchase our first home but also to sell and buy once again. Both transactions went well and we would highly recommend this Dynamic Dual to family and friends, Thank you for your services. Mike & Lucy
I accepted a job in Florida and was on a 60 day timeframe to relocate. I didnt want to rent and truly wanted to find a home to live in. I had several obstacles preventing me from being 100% available to search for homes...my job requires me to work 12-13 hr. days, and my weekends were spent in TX packing up my current residence. In addition, I was new to Florida and wasnt sure what areas I wanted to live in, causing a lot of home searching. I was introduced to Marina from my realtor in Texas (Israel Flores). Marina accepted this challenge, and worked with all the obstacles to ensure that I found a home that would accommodate my needs. Marina was very professional, knowledgeable, and had my best interest at hand. She worked countless hours searching for places, doing a walk through with a video recording, when I was unable to get off work to view the home. She learned my style quickly and she sent me homes that she felt I would be interested in. She also setup last minute appointments for me – in most cases the day that I viewed a home online. Marina became my eyes when I wasnt available. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Even a day before closing, Marina required a walk-through of the home to ensure that the seller fixed all agreed upon items. It was a great recommendation and paid off in my favor, as the items were not fixed. Marina took the lead working with the lawyer and the seller to get items fixed as promise. If you are looking for a realtor who will have your best interest at hand, has a wealth of knowledge in the industry, is trustworthy, and has the work ethic above and beyond what is expected...you should contact Marina Sarabia. I have a wonderful home in a great location thanks to Marina!
I learned so much from my 1st Home purchase. I placed an offer on 3/11 and closed on 4/9. I listened to many people whom had rocky buying experiences and was nervous this would be me. I can say i experienced no negativity whatsoever, total opposite actually.That is all due to working with Kathleen. She and her network were able to pre-qualify me properly after USAA dropped the ball. Kathleen listened to my wants for a home so intently that she was able to remind me when i got off track or discouraged. Now i sit in my new home ecstatic and excited with ideas to make my home reflect my personality even more.Kathleen you are a wonderful person, a credit to your profession and a joy to work with. I will be coming back to you when i am ready to purchase investment property as well.Thank you and your network for all your efforts for such a smooth transaction!
We have known Kathleen and Marino for over 10 years. They helped us purchase and sell a condo without any problems. They are professional, polite and were willing to do whatever was needed to help with the purchase and sale. Not only were they our agent, they became our friends. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a real estate agent.
Marina is a trustworthy and very knowledgeable realtor. We bought a beautiful home with her help, and subsequently our relatives bought another hope due to our referral. Marina is very hardworking and will chase down any loose ends if needed. We had a lengthy difficult pre-foreclosure situation and Marina spent many-many days and evenings working to make our closing happen. Would recommend her to anyone!
After moving to Fort Lauderdale 2 years ago, and unsuccessfully working with 3 different Realtors and several mortgage brokers, I was introduced to Kathleen by mutual friends who had also been her clients. Buying Real Estate in Florida is much different from any other place I have purchased before. Kathleen understands the market and is very intuitive as to what her clients are looking for and comfortable with. It seemed like we were looking at 100 properties and she never lost patience or faith that we will eventually find that one place that I walk into and fall in love with. It took about 6 weeks and we were under contract. Kathleen also referred me to a mortgage broker she works with, who was able to find a way to finance my condo even though I did not have the full 25% downpayment that is required in FL, and despite a short sale in my past. Kathleen is now also a dear friend, and I could not have made it through this process without her!
We wanted to sell our house in Miami and where looking for a realtor to assist us. Since we live in Los Angeles we had knowledge of procedures and practices in Florida. Marina Sarabia was instrumental in helping us sell our house. She explained market value, procedures, laws and everything else related to the sell of the house.Honest, dependable, trustworthy, - this is Marina Sarabia.
I decided to move from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale approximately three years ago. By happenstance, I found Kathleen Costanzos and Marina Sarabias names in a listing in which I was interested. After researching their business, I called them when I was going to be in town to do some preliminary investigating, to decide on the areas in which I considered living and get an idea of the cost of real estate in the beach area. I told Kathleen upon meeting her that I was not ready to buy on that trip, but explained my intentions. Instead of being put off that I was not ready to buy immediately, she was kind, courteous and knowledgeable; she showed me a number of different homes and condos which helped me decide in what area I wished to live, that a condo suited me best, and what the price range was for properties in which I was interested. I made a second trip to Fort Lauderdale before I was ready to buy and, again, received the utmost help in every way from Kathleen. On that second trip, I saw a condo which Kathleen had found which I loved but I was not ready to buy right then. Kathleen kept in touch with me in Pittsburgh and let me know what properties were on the market in which she thought I might be interested. When I called Kathleen and let her know that I was coming back to Fort Lauderdale and I was now ready to buy, she let me know that the condo I had loved the year before was back on the market(after being off the market for a time), we looked at it again, and Kathleen helped me negotiate a great deal on the condo of my dreams. There are no superlatives too great to describe how happy I have been with the service I received from Kathleen Costanzo and Maria Sarabia. I cant recommend them highly enough.
I am sending these accolades to Kathleen Costanzo for being truely a wonderful and professional realtor and a perfect lady.I came to Florida in August with a long wish list and a set budget. Kathleen showed me many condos that covered almost all of my list and was within budget. She did this without ever making me feel that it was a bother. She made herself available 7 days a week until I found the perfect home.She was very helpful in directing me around town to restaurants and other points of interest to make my quest for a new home much easier.I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to buy or sell. She is the best person to get the job done.She found the perfect home for me with even more than I wished for and did it all within budget.I not only found a perfect home, but I found a wonderful new friend in Kathleen.
We own two rental condos and Marina and Kathleen have always found reputable tenants for us. They are professional and go out of their way for their clients. We highly recommend both of them!
I have known Kathleen Costanzo for over 10 years, she helped my wife and I find the condo of our dreams. She is a true hard working realestate proffesional and I have recommending many people to her,to also help them find the condo of there dreams. Every person that I have recommended were extremely happy and own condos in Florida. If anyone in North America is looking for a condo in Florida Kathleen and Marina are the people to see. They will both work hard to make it happen.
Marina is a great realtor. She helped us find a great deal on a property and went over and beyond during the closing process. She knows the business and knows the right people! Will use her again.
We such a wonderful experience when they first sold us our home in 2003, now we are ready to upgrade and I wouldnt consider working with any other team. Kathleen and Marina guided us through the process as first time home buyers so now we are back of their professionalism and knowledge of the area.
Professional, Personable & AccessableI wanted to purchase a condo in Pompano for an investment. Driving around I call several realtors from there signs out in of the properties. Kathleen was the only person to call me back and it was on a Sunday. She was able to accommodate my not so easy schedule. Kathleen was such a huge help from the first showing to the closing table. She helped with everything from recommending a funding group to an inspector for home inspection. Kathleen was always right there to answer a question or to make sure the inspection, appraisal were on track. I knew I could leave the country on vacation and Kathleen were be a perfect person to follow up on any details that needed to be taken care of.I would highly reccomend Kathleen and her team to anyone who is in the market. It will be the easiest most pleasant experience you will ever have.Kathleen....you will be seeing me again when I am ready for my next property.Thank you very much!!! Your the Best !!!Rose Ann
Do NOT trust Mrs Costanzo and her fake smiles and gorgeous Cadillac. She is a money starved agent who will only pretend to be on your side until things go in your favor and against her cashing out your check fast. We bought a condo with her (no) help and it turned out to be a disaster. She never lifted one finger to help us. My mother needed surgery in France and she forcefully made us come back all the to the United States in spite of the situation so that she could cash her commission on time. She is a greedy woman who owns several condos in Fort Lauderdale which make her believe she owns the city! We were only asking for a 10 days extension to the closing in order to get things settled in France and she denied it. We also needed to rent a new place for us and she promised to help, she never even tried and we had to rent through another source. We are cash buyers and she took advantage of us. If our painful experience can be of any use to further buyers, then we have made our point. Mrs Costanzo is a money hungry liar agent who will go through any length just to make her commission. Be very aware of it and of that agent. There are so many agents to choose from, so do not fall for her sweet lies like we did.
I would like to express our complete satisfaction, and how lucky we were about having found in you such professionalism, knowledge, and more importantly, and excellent human being. Thank you for the quick, and smooth business, regarding the selling of my Mothers asset. God bless you. Norma Ordaz y Ray Curras...
My husband and I were looking to buy a condo in the Fort Lauderdale area so that my daughter who lives in that area will no longer have to pay rent. I found Kathleen Costanzo online and started a phone and online conversation. She immediately made me feel comfortable. Upon meeting Kathleen she was able to hone in on what we were looking for. My 20 year old daughter was going to live there and she made Laura feel important in the process. Kathleen found us a condo within 2 weeks and closed in 30 days. Despite some challenges with the seller and the sellers realtor Kathleen was in constant communication with us. Thank you Kathleen. You make your job look easy when I know you work hard. Sincerely The Paradis Family-Nanette Paradis, Client
I Want to commend Kathleen Costanzo for a wonderful experience in locating and securing my new home in Fort Lauderdale.Kathleen spent many hours working diligently to find my home, and also offered many helpful suggestions that made my visit and my move to Florida much easier and enjoyable. She was able to help with suggestions for navigating through the city and surrounding towns, gave excellent advice about restaurants, shopping and entertainment.Every company should have a Kathleen. She made us feel welcome and never once made us feel that we were a bother. I recommend her highly to family and friends because she makes every client feel special.If I should ever buy or sell in this area, it would be KATHLEEN COSTANZO that I would call.I not only have a new home but a wonderful new friend in Kathleen.Kathleen is a wonderful asset to her company and to her profession.
If you are looking for realtors who are real professionals and will work tirelessly on your behalf, then look no further than Kathleen Costanzo and Marina Sarabia! We have used their services to buy, sell and buy 2 condos in Fort Lauderdale. From our initial meeting to closing, Kathleen and Marina were available 24-7.

They were courteous and professional at all times and a joy to work with--always upbeat and positive. We are so fortunate to have worked with this outstanding women, and we will certainly call on them for any real estate needs we may have in the future. -Frank and Nancy Farris
Marina took some great photos and videos for us which enabled us to buy our property unseen and both Marina and Kathleen were always available to help and answer any questions.
Marina and Kathleen are a great and dedicated team committed to customer satisfaction.
I wish to respond to the posting by Mr. Randall Cupples-Sabban, the buyer of my condo who posted in March 2016. I am the seller of the condo referenced in his post. Our realtor Kathleen Costanzo found herself in a somewhat awkward position trying to represent both myself and the buyers in a fair manner. I happen to believe she succeeded in doing so.Within two weeks of listing my condo with Kathleen, she presented me with two offers. I chose to accept the better of the two offers made by Mr. Cupples-Sabban. Although it was still several thousand dollars less than the asking price. A date was set thirty days from the when the offer was signed and accepted. It is important to note that I was under contract with my tenant to give him a thirty-day window to evacuate the unit. Also preparation of paper work and scheduling of residence approval by the association would take weeks to process. Immediately, I notified my tenant he had thirty days to evict. The buyers quickly scheduled an inspection.After the inspection Mr. Cupples-Sabban requested a concession from me to cover the cost of window replacement. Kathleen negoiciiated a compromise and both the seller and buyer would split the cost. An estimate was obtained and both the buyer and seller signed an agreement that no further concessions would be considered.It was unfortunate that the buyers had to leave country for a family emergency. But their accusation that Kathleen and her insistence to keep the original closing date was based on personal greed is false. The truth is, the buyers first asked that we move the closing up by a week. But I still had to honor my contract with my tenant so I could not close earlier than the original scheduled closing date. Then they asked to close ten days after the scheduled date and after my tenant had vacated the unit. This would mean I would incur condo fees, mortgage and utility cost for the rest of the month amounting to a few hundred dollars which the buyer, Cupples-Sabban did not offer me compensation for.Besides, Kathleen informed Mr. Cupples-Sabban that it would not be necessary for him to attend the closing and arrangements could be made so that the buyers could remain in France with their family during their emergency and we could close on the original scheduled date.We closed yesterday on time and without incident. I can say with all honesty Kathleen represented both me and the buyer in a fair and professional manner. I would be quite willing to work with her again and strongly suggest her service to anyone else requiring a realtor.David Williams and Michael Prokuda
I have lived in several different regions of the United States; therefore, I have bought and sold many houses and condominiums, and Ive been fortunate to have excellent realtors through the years. In recent years, I have bought and sold two condominiums in Ft Lauderdale, and Kathleen Costanzo was my realtor in both transactions. Without a doubt, she is the best realtor with whom I have ever worked. She is exceptionally thoughtful, informed, honest and professional. If I were to buy or sell any property in the Ft. Lauderdale area, Kathleen would be my realtor. Mere words cannot describe the enormous respect I have for her as a professional. I welcome the opportunity to recommend Ms Costanzo to any prospective buyer or seller with complete and total confidence. Dr Gary Manning
Marina&Kathleen thanks for your help in my Home sell, was a great experience, its a pleasure recommed them, thanks
