Lock & Key Realty

Chris and his team at Lock and Key were phenomenal at helping me work through the Market challenges I faced such as flood insurance, and interest rate hikes. Their hard work and perseverance sold my house to the right buyer in no time for the right price that worked for everyone. Would highly recommend, second awesome experience with this Realty team!

Chris is a fantastic real estate agent and has gone above and beyond to help us in our search for a successful investment. He cares, knows his market extremely well, has great connections and is honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend!!

Chris was honest, hardworking and overcame issues in a professional and productive manner. We are happy he was our agent. He delivered! We will be using him again for sure.

Nicole and Lori were wonderful to have when selling our house of 35 years. We “interviewed “ many agents because my family had very specific needs for the right realtor. Nicole & her team was exactly what we were looking for and proved to be exactly what we needed. Very professional, patient, knowledgeable, responsive, actually listened to us , and truly looked out for our individual situation ahead of “just closing the deal”. Nicole has a very calm demeanor about her which was a Godsend for my family during this stressful time; yet she was great to have in our corner for some tough negotiating. I felt like we had her full attention throughout the entire process (although I know she has many clients) and we never felt like a bother; despite our thousands of questions. My family would highly recommend her and her amazing team!

Chris was a pleasure to work with and a huge help for us in finding a good property. He has great advice and his experience in real estate, home improvement and short-term rentals was invaluable. I highly recommend him.

I've been in real estate since 2003 and I feel it's important for REALTORS® to let the community know which agents are trustworthy. Nicole (Seller-side) and I (Buyer-side) worked together very well on a sale in Tarpon Springs. Nicole was communicative, knowledgeable, and great to work with. I look forward to our next home sale together!

When we first met Steven we told him we were interested in selling our home. A few days later he contacted us and I met with him. He explained the process to me in a way that made me feel comfortable .He and I called my wife who was in another state at the time and her and I decided to sale it through Lock and Key through Steven. Steven and the company he worked with was able to get us more than our asking price. We highly recommend Lock and Key Team @eXp Realty and would recommend Steven Dufala to sale your property.

Marcus Battles took great care of my wife and I buying a home from out of state!

He was punctual and clear while communicating, promptly available to show us homes, and a skilled negotiator when putting in an offer.

But most importantly, he placed our interests first from start-to-finish.

If you’re on the hunt for a house and want an all-star realtor, give Marcus a call.

Chris and his team from the beginning to closing were beyond amazing. They are professional, knowledgeable, kind and extremely patient. Their experience in handling any situation helped us navigate a very stressful home buying process. We have bought and sold many homes and highly recommended eXp Realty. We will definitely be using them and recommending them in the future.
Thank you Chris, Nicole and the while eXp team!

I worked with Chris Dufala to purchase a home in Oldsmar. Being new to the area, I was very nervous about what to expect. Chris was so great! He answered all of my questions and provided me with lots of helpful information. He was extremely responsive and organized. Something I truly appreciate.
I would highly recommend Chris and his team. He helped make this a wonderful experience!

The home that we sold had been the family home since 1967 , so it was a difficult decision to sell. Nicole and the team walked us through the process seamlessly even offering her family to assist us in packing up the trailer! Thank you to all the stalk at Lock and Keyfor making our experience a positive one.

I was very impressed by the level of expertise and thoroughness of Nicole Dufala and her team regarding the sale of my mother’s condominium. Nicole is a consummate professional, and through the entire process she addressed my needs and questions promptly, concisely and with attention to detail. I would not hesitate to work with her again, and will recommend her to friends and family.

Chris is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable, giving subtle but valuable recommendations along the way. He listens and truly understands your needs and wants. He is the most competitive realtor that will work tirelessly to win for you. His effort and work ethic can’t be beat. I don’t recommend people often but 10/10 would recommend him highly. Thank you for finding our dream home!

I wasn’t really serious about buying a place to live during the winter months in Michigan but when I found out that a place in an over 55, resident owned Cooperative Mobile Home Park was available, but not yet on the market, Steven jumped to the occasion and began the process of me purchasing it at record speed. The collaboration between Steven, Nicole and Chris and Lock & Key; EXP team was amazing and now I’m a happy snow bird and highly recommend Lock & Key; EXP reality.

Calvin did an amazing job helping us find our dream home. He was consistently looking out for us and helping us fine tune our home search. Whenever we wanted to look at a property he was available to help us out. Calvin also helped us sell our home in less than 2 weeks! It was a pleasure working with him and Lock and Key Realty

Adam Thibodeau was phenomenal.
Beginning with not giving up with phone calls in order to be my agent he showed a willingness to get the job done.
From our initial meeting in September to finally closing in December he was more than willing to work diligently throughout the process of looking for my home.
He was professional, personable and patient when I didn't understand something.
He went so far as to do video walkthroughs on homes I was interested in when I had to go back up north.
Adam has a great personality and was willing to laugh at some of our more trying experiences in trying to secure a home for me.
Adam is more than just an agent. He is an asset to Lock and Key Realty and I am sure he will do well as he continues on in his field.
Adam became more than just an agent. He became a friend I hope I keep in touch with.

We have sold quite a few houses and usually sell "By Owner". We tried that again this time. When you try to sell "By Owner" you end up getting quite a few calls from agents wanting to sell for you. We never do that. Until Steven came along. My husband was impressed with his candor and enthusiasm. We agreed to list with him and we are very glad we did. He worked very hard for us and got us a great price. We will be using him again.

This was the most pleasurable home buying experience one could hope for! My realtor, Calvin Pringles, was amazing from the start. He was punctual, extremely knowledgeable, patient, honest and dependable. Calvin kept me up to date with everything through the process and I felt supported the entire time. I could ask questions with no hesitation and Calvin helped me understand the process behind things, ensuring I was confident with my purchase. I also want to shout out Calvin’s partner, Sarah Hippert! Sarah did an excellent job providing timelines, deadlines, expectations, addresses and phone numbers etc. she made my life very easy to say the least! If you are in the market for a new home, do yourself a favor and contact Lock & Key Realty!

Not over bearing, not unfocused just the opposite Adam was always an 100% attentive to all of our request.

On day we must have looked at least 30 homes we were exhausted but not Adam he was still ready to go on, that is commitment.

He made phone calls on our behalf to assist us in every way possible, always professional well dressed we never once felt pressured or left abandoned on our decision making process.

I highly recommend both Adam and Lock and Key Realty for anyone's home buying experience.

Thank you again to Adam and staff.

Chad was an excellent realtor! From the first time we met him (by chance at an open house) he was always very receptive to what we were looking for when purchasing our new home. He answered every question we had (even some we didn't know we had!) and was truly there for us through every step of the way. Lock and Key is fortunate to have such a wonderful employee.
