Kurt and his team had their hands full with the hurdles that came with the home purchase that I made. The entire process was managed skillfully and as expediently as needed. Kurt was able to think outside to box on multiple occasions in order to progress through this process. He really came through for me! As far as communication aspect, they were always prompt with answering any questions or concerns that I had. Kraus Home Team is a solid and respected choice for anyone looking for an excellent experience in home buying!
Thanks again Team Kraus!

Kurt was an absolute pleasure to deal with. My wife and I really appreciated how much time he spent educating us on the process of buying a home as a young couple. Additionally, Kurt is very well connected throughout the real estate sector in general and was able to provide us with trusted businesses in the area for various home improvement services. If you want a one stop shop and someone who will go to bat for you, this is the guy!

We loved working with Kurt & Kim! We had the joy of working with them twice on 2 family transactions! One with mom & dad, then one for ourselves. They worked hard and had patience looking on our behalf for months while we sold another home and got settled in our new location. Handled the transaction with integrity & Kurt was super helpful during the intensive inspection period we had with the investment / home we ended up with! They are truly good people with tons of local knowledge about MANY neighborhoods & house types. We really lucked out to work with them!

Kurt and Kim Kraus are an amazing team of realtors! They truly exceeded my expectations. As a NAVY Veteran and first time homebuyer I can’t be more grateful that I was assigned to work with them in this very exhausting and complicated home buying process. They were very patient and listened to my every need. They worked very patiently and diligently together until they found the perfect home at my price range that meets all my needs. They answered every question I had (they still do) they are very accessible and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone Veteran or Non Veteran to get in touch with my favorite team of realtors Kurt and Kim they will be satisfied with their outstanding work!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kurt and Kim. I will forever be grateful for you both.

As Veterans and first time home buyers, my husband and I were referred to Kurt. He’s knowledgeable, flexible, and most importantly, he gets the job done! He helped throughout the entire process and ensured everything was squared away before closing on our first home. Kurt and his wife, Kim are wonderful to work with.

If more stars were available I would add them! Kurt and Kim are the best realtors I've had the opportunity to work with. I flew in from out of state and literally had 1 day to find and purchase a home. Kurt and Kim spent a "marathon" day with me and an offer was made and accepted.

Kurt listened to the needs of our family and he and Kim only showed me homes that were in the specifications and price I requested. Kurt was extremely knowledgeable about the builders and the quality of homes we visited. They both know real estate inside and out, as well as knowing the community.
This made my experience not only fantastic, but I was able to fly home and begin a cross-country move feeling confident in my decision.

Because we were moving from CA to FL, we were unable to be available for the final walk-through. Kurt stepped up again to represent us. He completed a very thorough walk through and I have no doubt found things that I wouldn't have known to check. He kept us well informed every step of the way so we felt part of the process and knew exactly what was happening.

Additionally there were some things I wanted to have done to the home before we arrived. Kurt gave me a list of recommended vendors and made the home available so the work could be done prior to our arrival. I used ALL of his recommendations which resulted in quality work being completed. Our home was turn key ready upon arrival.

I can say wholeheartedly that Kurt and Kim went above and beyond in our home buying process. When choosing a realtor do not hesitate choosing Kraus Home Team. You will not be disappointed!

I highly recommend Kurt Kraus as a realtor in the Lakewood Ranch/Sarasota/Bradenton area. Kurt is smart, responsive and patient. He knows the market and is incredibly client service oriented. As an additional bonus, he is a former home inspector and is well connected to contractors and other vendors. We are very pleased with our home purchase and Kurt's expertise.

Kurt will fight for you, treat you like family, take you through the highs and not-so-highs, talk sense into the technicalities that are the home buying process, and celebrate your triumph with you at closing! He’s an elite expert, and his experience is INVALUABLE, especially for a first-time homebuyer like myself. My credit wasn’t in the best of shape and I had no money for a down payment; I truly thought it would be impossible for me to ever own a home. I write this as I sit on my back patio in my own sizable backyard of my 1500 square-foot brick and mortar, 3-bedroom , 2-bath home where myself, my girlfriend, and our two dogs wake up every day and thank God we had Kurt in our corner. Any other agent would’ve given up and moved on to an easy sale. Not Kurt. He brainstormed with my lender and fought for the best deal. He negotiated with the seller and the seller’s agent tooth and nail to make sure the property was right for me. He walked me through the inspections, the appraisal, and was invaluable in guiding me through the VA process. And Kurt is only part of the team you get. Kurt’s wife, Kim, is also an expert in all things real estate. Together, they’re a formidable force guarding against the pitfalls of what is usually a cut-throat business. They’re family. They’re YOUR family. I know this first-hand. Thank you Kurt and Kim for making my dream a reality. I could never in a million years properly thank you, but know in your hearts, because I know it in mine, that without you, this never would have happened. God Bless you both. 🙏🏼

I was very pleased with his knowledge inside and out of the process of using the VA home loan as well as his interior house knowledge of things to look for etc. He was always available for me and took time to explain things to me throughout the whole process. I’d use him again when I sell my house, as well as recommend him to anyone looking to buy.

It was amazing to work with Kurt! My girlfriend and I were assigned Kurt from Veterans United and we were not disappointed. Searching for our first home we had little knowledge on the process but lucky for us Kurt helped us every step of the way. When looking through homes, Kurt’s skill set from when he was a home inspector really shined. He was able to point out some things that we didn't notice, like about how much life the roof might have, checking to see if there was moisture in the walls, asking questions that we didn’t think too. He also made it to our first and final walk through for us when we were stuck in Michigan and couldn’t make it to Florida. All the way through the closing, purchasing our first home was one of the most stress free processes we have been through in our lives. I cant say enough great Things about Kurt’s expertise and his professionalism. Overall 5 star experience, Kurt’s best quality is his communication. From signing on the home to closing we had a 5-month gap. He kept us up to date on everything and gave us advice when needed like when to lock in our interest rate. If you get the pleasure to work with him your in great hands!
