Our experience with The Thorn Collection, and Donna Harper specifically, has been outstanding. We just closed on the sale of our condo and I am extremely grateful to Donna and her group for the successful sale in a challenging market. Donna helped to reduce my stress and every single aspect of the process was handled beautifully and efficiently. If I could give more than 5 stars I would do so.

Kandra Covert was the best realtor we have ever worked with. She is such a professional but yet so easy to work with. She went above and beyond to help us. She is so thoughtful and caring. We moved here from Oregon and I told everyone at home that I had a new daughter. She is simply amazing. We will be friends for life. She is such an asset to her company. If you Are looking for a top notch realtor she is the one. Dan and Crystal King.

We can’t thank Allison Bouchard enough with the Thorn Collection for her professional expertise, hard work, and diligence in selling our home. She quickly managed multiple offers, which led to asking price and closing within thirty days. The photos and video captured our home and neighborhood beautifully and focused on the details that were special and unique. When you leave thirty-five years of memories it is nice to know you can trust Allison and the Thorn Collection to make new dreams come true! What a truly wonderful experience!

Highly recommend. A neighbor who had recently sold their home recommended our realtor Leslie Gerlach. She did an amazing job with the sale of our home. Easy to work with, excellent communicator, knowledgeable and patient. She went above and beyond expectations as we dealt with 2 hurricanes during this process. We are grateful to Leslie and The Thorn team who are very professional and a pleasure to work with as well.

We never expected to have such a wonderful experience buying a home and selling a home but thanks to Sarah Poppleton, it was fantastic. She was kind, compassionate, professional, understanding, and was there for us at every step of the way. We would never consider using any other realtor. When I would get worried or concerned, Sara would call me right back and assure me that everything would be fine and she calmed me down when I would get stressed. She treated us like “friends” right from the start. Sara is a beautiful person inside and out and we love her like a daughter. Thank you Sara for everything.

Very impressed with the agents they have with The Thorn Collection, particularly Kandra Covert.

I was looking to acquire a new downtown residence in Chicago, IL and even though she is not licensed here, she was able to connect me with a reputable agent to assist with my search.

She did plant the idea of a summer home in Florida and that is not a bad idea. Especially with all the prime and desirable listings she showcases regularly! Looking forward to working with her on that. Thanks again Kandra.

Their team approach to listing and selling provides a high level of expertise at each step of the way from consultation, to pricing, to listing, to showing, to contract, to close.

The absolute best experience with a real estate agent, ever!!. They are very professional and know how to sell property fast. We had our home listed with another agent for over a year, only had three showings, no offers. Don Chilton one of Martha Thorn's agents sold our home in two months. Martha's entire team is impressive, personable and professional. I guess I can sum it up best this way. The other agents I worked with in the past were selling real estate for money. At the Thorn Collection they love doing what they are doing and they were there to help us. The difference is the passion that is evident from the first meeting to the closing, these folks love what they do and they are good at it!!

Martha Thorn and Don Chilton and all the staff at The Thorn Collection are and absolute joy to work with. If you want someone to sell your home go with Martha!

I would have to say that KJ Kein of the Martha Thorn Agency was one of the best professional's I have ever dealt with. She went above and beyond to assist my wife and I in the purchase of our land in Tarpon Springs. Due to our schedules, we were only able to visit the St. Pete/Clearwater/Tarpon Springs area on weekends. She would spend the week preparing a schedule for us. She would accept my late night calls and emails and promptly respond to our questions and concerns. When we found what we wanted, she jumped right on the task and provided us with all of the pros/cons of purchasing the land. She worked tiresoulsy with the seller to get us the best price and has provided insightful information about the building of our forever dream home. The support staff at Martha Thorn, was tremendous. Pleasant and very helpful. I can be very demanding, and they were right there with the answers, sometimes before I even had a chance to ask them. I couldn't ask for a better agency to work with. My only regret, is that we can't use their agency to list our current home in Jacksonville. Seeing how they work so hard on the buyer side, I would have no concerns of them representing me on the seller side. I can guarantee, that when we purchase additional real estate in the area, my first call with be to KJ and crew. They are AWESOME!

I couldn't of asked for a better experience when buying my first home! The women at the office were incredibly knowledgeable. Not once did I feel like I was being pressured or forced to buy anything. I was able to tell them exactly what type of house I was looking for and in turn they worked with me until we found the perfect little place. I would most definitely use them again to buy or sell a house.
