"Rob McGuire represented me in the purchase of my condo. He guided me through the entire process, from the initial offer through the closing. He all but held my hand through each necessary step. I had no anxiety throughout, secure in his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend Rob McGuire if you are looking for a pleasant home buying experience."
-Marge D, Client
"Rob was instrumental with our search for a new home in Safety Harbor, Florida. We traveled back and forth from Atlanta to St. Petersburg many times and Rob was always ready to shows us the homes we wanted to visit. Rob even took the time to do a virtual viewing when we were not able to be in Florida. Rob is very knowledgeable of the St. Petersburg and surrounding areas and even put us in touch with financing experts who were able to close escrow in record time, allowing the logistics of selling in Atlanta and buying in Safety Harbor to work brilliantly. Finally Rob also recommended an Agent in Atlanta whom we used to successfully sell our Atlanta property. Great job, Rob! Thanks again."
-Steve Jolliffe, Client

We needed a handyman to address small issues around the house and Rob was able to provide a few the same day. We also had issues with the inspection and the dishwasher not working, he was able to find a reliable repairman and also worked alongside the pest control people to ensure everything was handled properly. Definitely will recommend him to friends and family."
-Hye Matthews, Client
"Rob is great. Plain and simple, he is professional, knowledgeable, hard working and made the whole process of buying a house easy. He went out of his way to help us find the perfect house that checked all of the boxes on our wish list. We just closed on the house and we are thrilled.
Rob kept us abreast of new properties and helped us with putting in the right offer. He was with us every step of the way; made sure we made informed decisions; and kept us up to date as we went along.
He gets my highest recommendation and I am not one to hand that kind of compliment out easily"
-Dotivan, Client

-Rebecca Davis, Client
"Rob has handled several transactions for me and each one has gone seamlessly and beyond my expectations. He is very professional, always gives well thought out and sound advice, and is prompt and thorough in his communication. I have entrusted Rob's services for a mid-range priced house up to a million dollar listing and with each one he gave exemplary service. Rob never inflated the value of a listing just to obtain the exclusive for it, rather he was always straight-forward and honest about true valuations which resulted in positive outcomes with each sale. Rob has always led with integrity and therefore remains a trusted real estate professional when the need arises again."
-Joe Marini, Client
"Rob went above and beyond in helping us find a house that suited our needs and our budget!! We must have looked at over 60 houses the week we were here and he kept on top of the market. The house we bought had only been on the market for 8 hours and we were the first to view it. We were also the last ones to view it. The team that he has put together from the real estate area, mortgage area, and insurance is literally the best in the area!!! My husband and I highly recommend him to be the one to find your next house."
-Russell Johnson, Client
"Rob really did a great job for us and went up and beyond In working with us in finding our new home. Being from out of state, we relied greatly on his knowledge and experience to get the job done. His help in getting us in touch with financial and insurance persons was a great help. All were fantastic to work with from 1200 miles away."
-Rusty Johnson, Client
"Buying property when you do not live in the area and during a pandemic can be very stressful. Thanks to Rob and his team it was a seamless and pleasurable experience. He listened to what we were looking for and provided good advice and guidance throughout the process. He even went the extra mile by going and scoping out properties for us. We highly recommend Rob when you think about purchasing your next property. Thanks Rob!!"
-Norm Houghtaling, Client

-Ron Fields, Client
"When I decided to relocate, I needed an agent who could handle my home search remotely as I was unable to travel to Florida at the time. Rob did all the legwork for me, found me the right place, and was able to handle all the ins and outs of relocation. I highly recommend Rob McGuire without hesitation."
-Steve Stanley, Client
"I moved to Tampa from North Carolina and Rob helped me find a home that I am very happy with. Throughout the process, Rob was always punctual, courteous, knowledgeable and communicative, all qualities needed in a successful Realtor. Although I initially found a home, I cancelled the purchase because too many issues were found with the property post inspection. However, Rob was patient and supportive the entire time and then showed me my current home in a neighborhood that is safe, peaceful and gorgeous. The team that Rob recommended for the entirety of the transaction was also amazing, speaking to Rob's skill and network of great professionals. Again, I would 100% recommend Rob."
-Christian Aguilera, Client
"Rob was great to work with. He listened to our needs/wants and was able to give us plenty of listings to review.

-Chris Hammons, Client
"Rob and his team were excellent! We were owners of a Condo in Tampa and our home was a vacation home. We did most of our communication via email and text as we live in Michigan. We had several hurdles to overcome with a very difficult HOA. Rob always stayed persistent and never let down to get the answers. There were 8 other condo's for sale in our complex on different sites, but you could tell which one was ours by the excellent professional photography! Leaps and bounds above the others! Rob and his team always kept us updated and informed. Being 1,200 miles away, Rob even helped us with onsite maintenance for us. He went way above what he was hired to do. I can't imagine going through what we went through with a different realtor. "
-Matt Klosowski, Client
"He is one of the best realtor I worked with, he was so helpful to me that we worked with my bank and me to close the deal. it was very tough road with banking, but he was with me guiding each and every corner. so finally I got my new home. Thanks you very much rob for your time. I can say your are awesome"
-Sai Murakar, Client
"Rob sold us our home back in 2018. We lived in California so we needed someone who knew the area and would really step forward finding us the right places to view on our short weekend visit. Within two days, we found the perfect house with Rob's help. We did not have to worry about a thing and Rob took control of all the paperwork. I highly recommend working with Rob no matter where in the Tampa Bay Area you decide to move."
-Jonathan Corey, Client

Top notch!"

-Amy Young, Client
"Rob was great! He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and did an excellent job. We found a house in a short time and we closed in 3 weeks. Great experience. Will recommend to all our friends."
-James Dotson, Client
"I found Chris Herbst (and his partner Rob) on this site and am so glad to offer a review here for others. Chris is an exceptional partner and I offer my highest recommendation without reservations. Here are 8 ways that Chris was a great partner for my process. (1) He knows St. Pete well and has great insights with regard to neighborhoods, structures, and the market - after we met just once, he suggested 2 areas would be a great match for me and would be in my price range, and he was 100% right. (2) He is patient and positive - when we would see a house and it wasn't what I hoped for given the listing and photos, he was so great about just looking forward and onto the next! (3) He is flexible - I had an interesting search with 3 potential outcomes at 3 different price points, and he graciously worked on all 3 with me to help increase the odds of a successful process. (4) He is very even-keeled; this can be a stressful process, and his steady demeanor reduces that stress. (5)He is..."

"As an individual moving from another state, I could not have done this without Rob. He is knowledgeable and professional. He walked me through this home buying process. Please use Rob as your realtor for a wonderful and honest experience"
-Rob Stewart, Client
"I worked with Rob to find the perfect lot for my needs. Rob is very responsive to email, text and phone calls. He communicates often and thoroughly, and is friendly and cheerful. He listened to my needs and quickly focused his search on opportunities that matched my needs. Fortunately for me, I was able to find a property I liked the very first day that I was out looking at property with Rob. The sales process for my lot was a bit more complex than usual because the seller lives in Germany and because the property includes some protected wetlands. Rob was consistently following up to gather all of the information I needed to help determine a fair offer price and then follow through until an agreed sale price was reached and the sale was closed. I highly recommend Rob and would definitely work with Rob again should I need to buy or sell in the Tampa /St Pete / Clearwater area"
-John Tadlock, Client
"I've known Rob for years and when I found he was a Real Estate agent in the Tampa area, I knew we had to use him as our agent. He was excellent with the negotiations on a difficult sale that fell-through, and then with the next house whose owner and agent were a pleasure to deal with."
-Evan Ladd, Client
"Chris helped me find my house. He was the best! Everything went smooth and was easy for me. If I would sell or buy another home I would call him first."
-Robin Honeywell, Client
"Rob was great to work with. He has a very structured approach to learning what type of home you are interested in and how to filter out all the "maybes" and concentrate on the best choices. One way he does this is have you look over lots of listings (yes, you do have to do work for your house hunting) and cull out the ones you don't like and tell him why and then explain what you do like. His process is actually much more structured than a number of other realtors we've dealt with (and we've dealt with more than a few). He's also willing to revise contracts late on a Saturday evening for early on a Sunday morning. If I could afford one more house, we'd definitely use him again."
-Jim Hansen, Client
"It was an amazing experience working with Rob. He made the buying process a breeze even though we live out of state. His knowledge of the area made us feel confident with our decision. I would highly recommend him if you're considering buying or selling property in the Tampa Bay area."
-Steve Reeder, Client
"We were pleased with the professional and customer centric realtor services from Rob while buying our home in FL."
-Bryan McKnight, Client
"It was a pleasure working with Chris. He went the extra mile to keep me informed of
new listings and was always available to meet me at a listing. Chris communicated
with me each day while I was in town. He was very helpful when visiting houses and
made me appreciate that he was there to show me things I didn't see. I was only in
the area for 5 days and Chris worked very hard to find me more than a house, but a
home in which I am very happy. Chris made house hunting a painless process."
-Dan Gasiewski, Client
"I was relocating to the Tampa Bay Area but was not sure which neighborhood I wanted to be in. Rob was amazingly helpful in not only determining the area best for me but also finding a property to meet my specific needs. He is an awesome agent who will bend over backwards to get you a home! It was great working with him and I highly recommend!"
-Ben Burton, Client
"Rob is the consummate professional: He knows his business better than any other realtor I've worked with (and this is my 9th real estate transaction). He'll steer you through the maze and keep you on track. He doesn't hesitate to negotiate on behalf of his client. He's an outstanding member of the greater Tampa Bay community, and a very nice guy to boot! If you are a member of the LGBT community, Rob is very well connected, a big supporter in both spirit and generosity. He'll even help you make connections here. So I definitely recommend Rob! If you choose him, you won't be disappointed."
-Keith S., Client
"This is the second time I worked with Rob. Both times have been professional and knowledgeable. He is excellent when it comes to minor issues and major problems. He is very prompt answering calls and texts. I have recommended Rob to others, and if I need a realtor again, I will definitely call Rob."
-Steve Stanley, Client
"Rob did a great job in finding a rental property for me. It was not easy dealing with an elderly woman seller who was 2,000 miles away. After 2 weeks back and forth Rob put the purchase together that worked for me. I will be very happy using Rob on my next purchase. I will be looking for another rental property about this time next year."
-Jim Showalter, Client
"Rob and his team who were great to work with helped me buy a condo and we were able to close in 3 weeks which is not easy when you are dealing with a HOA, lender and out of state seller. Because of Rob's expertise we were able to overcome all obstacles and are happy that we are in our new place. I would highly recommend Rob to family and friends."
-Randy Crouse, Client
"I retired and relocated from out of state. I never thought I would purchase a home over the internet, but due to Covid-19, travel was limited and Rob was able to be my eyes and ears on the ground during this entire process. He not only previewed homes for me, but also sent me videos of the homes that I was interested in. He was able to represent me during the entire purchasing process, as well as our virtual closing, I am very happy with my purchase and could NOT have done it without Rob. He is very knowledgeable and responsive to any and all of my needs."
-L. Zafke, Client
"Rob obviously specializes in helping families relocate to the Tampa Bay Area. My boyfriend and I bought sight unseen while living in Nashville. Rob went above and beyond to make sure it was as smooth transition. We appreciate everything he did and are almost one year in our home. Best luck I ever had!"
-John Bassett, Client
"Rob made the whole process of purchasing my forever home in St. Petersburg so enjoyable and easy. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a truly qualified agent in Florida. Rob's professionalism and expert knowledge as well as his guidance was exceptional during this transaction. Thank you so much Rob!"
-Michele Harrington, Client
"I worked with Rob in '18 when purchasing a rental property, & after seeing his expertise of the area, his attention to detail, & complete dedication to providing the absolute best service to his clients, I knew that he would be my go to agent going forward. Fast forward to '21. With the hot market that we're in, we decided to sell that property. Having been in contact over the years, I called Rob about listing the property & getting it sold fast. True to who Rob is, the experience was exactly as I expected. We met and he was 100% prepared w/a detailed analysis of the property, area, & market. We came up with a plan together, & he executed it to perfection. Under contract on day 2, over asking price, & a 3 week closing. We closed without a hitch. Rob makes the process a breeze. I didn't have to worry about anything, because I knew he had my best interest in mind. Hiring Rob is, undeniably, the best decision that you can make."
-Jason DiClemente, Client
"I first got in contact with Rob on a whim about a year ago. I was planning a move from Philly to Pinellas county and looking for an agent that could not only find us a home to live in, but also investment properties. Fast forward a few months and I made a trip down with my family to review our investment goals and Rob immediately went to work to line things up. That first trip, didnt end in a purchase but Rob continued to send me leads and when we eventually moved in July, we were able to hit the ground running. We started looking at investment properties and Rob had great knowledge of the neighborhoods, and gave me some great insight on where he felt the neighborhoods were heading in the future. We ended up offering on a property in early September and are scheduled to close tomorrow. Being new to Florida real estate, I'm so glad to have Rob on my team. As an investor, and buying my personal home Rob is a guy I look forward to working with many years."
