Testimonials

Working with Lysette to sell my investment property in Redington Beach was a terrific experience. From our first conversation through closing, she demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise.

What truly sets Lysette apart is her extensive knowledge of the Pinellas County beach real estate market. Her understanding of market trends, buyer demand, pricing strategies, and the unique considerations involved in selling coastal properties gave me complete confidence throughout the process. She provided excellent guidance every step of the way and developed a marketing strategy that helped position the property effectively and attract serious buyers.

Lysette was always available to answer questions, kept me informed throughout the transaction, and handled every detail with care and efficiency. I highly recommend Lysette to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Redington Beach or anywhere along the Pinellas County beaches.

Lysette was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional, fun, and truly takes the time to listen.

Lysette is the best realtor I’ve ever used. I’ve bought 2 homes and am selling one, all with her. If you want the best buy on a home or get the maximum out of yours, you’ll work with her. Honesty and integrity mean more than anything in life and that describes Lysette completely.

Lysette was so awesome to work with. Very professional and made this entire process smooth and effortless. We would highly recommend her to market your home and you will have peace of mind that all is being handled with care and professionalism

Working with Lysette Ketterer on selling my waterfront home was an exceptional experience from start to finish!

Working with Lysette was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We know her personally and trust her explicitly, which made a stressful situation (hurricane family!) feel seamless and supported. She guided us through a very difficult purchase with confidence, lining up the buying and selling process beautifully. Not only did she find us an incredible off-market property that became the home of our dreams, but she also sold our existing home within just 3 days for a full-price offer. She anticipated challenges before they happened and made everything feel effortless on our end. We are so grateful for her professionalism, honesty, and genuine care. While she carries herself with kindness, grace, and warmth, she is also an excellent negotiator who takes her business very seriously. When it comes to representing her clients, she’s firm, strategic, and always looking out for our best interests. If you want someone who truly has your back and delivers outstanding results, she’s the one.

I can honestly say Lysette Ketterer is the best, most competent, hardest working Realtor I’ve ever worked with. She brought me a buyer before the house was even listed. She handled every detail in a professional manor, and made the process as smooth as possible for both the buyer and seller. Thank you Lysette, I’m happy to refer your services to anyone that may ask.

Thank you Lysette for helping us find our new home. I would highly recommend Lysette. She is an excellent professional who listens to her clients and understands their needs. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area and of the rules that govern the realty business. She was always there, every step of the way. Again, thanks for your excellent service

Lysette is the ultimate professional when it comes to realtors. While purchasing property from out of town, on several instances we were not able to make it to certain important and time sensitive appointments. Lysette went above and beyond to ensure that we were represented. She also helped us in picking a home and giving us information on different locations and Florida property rules. Lysette is the type of person who is very quick and efficient—no time wasted and gets back to you right away. We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a property in Florida.

I can’t say enough good things about Lysette. It was an absolute pleasure working with her from start to finish. She helped us buy our dream home, we couldn’t have done it without her! She holds herself to very high standards, and it shows in everything she does.

Lysette was always available when we needed her, super responsive, and made us feel like a priority the entire time. She’s a team player and made us feel like she was truly in our corner… Fighting for the best outcome for us every step of the way.

If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely has your back, Lysette is your Real Estate Agent! We are so glad we had her on our side.

Lysette was undoubtedly the best realtor we ever worked with. Her knowledge of all the details is beyond the norm. Lysette Ketterer knows the area, the marketplace, the high and low points, as well as navigation of the process. She seems to have an idea of your plan from the start, instinctive I would say. Hits the ground running and doesn't let up. Our highest regards for Lysette Ketterer.

We had an amazing experience working with Lysette. She properly qualified us for the home that suited our needs and wants. We couldn’t be happier with our new home!

Lysette could not have been more helpful during a very stressful time. We suffered catastrophic loss due to Hurricane Helene and were not sure how to move forward. We finally decided we would not rebuild and noticed the exceptional results she had achieved for several of our neighbors and called her immediately. From the first few minutes meeting with her we knew that she was the right realtor to get things done! Her knowledge of the local Treasure Island market and impacts from the hurricane were amazing. Her assessment turned out to be spot on!! Our home listing went live at 10AM Friday, December 13th and after many showings and offers we had a signed offer accepted the evening of Monday December 16th!! Just amazing! We can’t recommend her enoughJohn and Georgia Simpson, Treasure Island

Lysette's knowledge of the market and her tenacity is what led me to purchase my second property through her. Her negotiating skills are unparalleled. By far the best realtor I've worked with. I'm sure there will be many more properties in my future and Lysette will be my first call.

Lysette is a wonderful Realtor. Quite possibly the most organized person I've ever worked with. Very communicative and responsive! We have known many people who have used Lysette... Now we know what all the hype was about!

Lysette was amazing to deal with and we can't believe how quickly and painlessly the home sold, even above our asking price. Would highly recommend Lysette. Thanks again!

Lysette was incredible and awesome in every way. Her confidence and competitive spirit were what made me choose her over there other options. She was always available, professional, and positive throughout the process in a tough market. The entire time, we were in communication, I understood the process, I asked as many questions as I possibly could, and they all were answered. I got a home that I love and it is thanks to all of Lysette’s hard work and competence. I’d recommended her to anyone looking for a home. 100%!

Lysette and her team are the creme de la crème of real estate agents. I’m over 400 transactions and she is simply the best. Lysette is calling, communicates promptly and clearly and gets the job done.

I’ve bought (5) houses in the last two years with Lysette! I'm going to buy at least (5) more. The fact that I keep going back to her for my real estate needs, that should beat the testimonial of how awesome she is. She is the platinum standard of what a Real Estate agent should be. Her level of professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to finding exactly what her client wants is unmatched. It's always a pleasure to work with her and I feel absolutely blessed to have her represent me during a home transaction.

If you're looking for an agent and reading this, cast aside any doubts and give Lysette a call so that she can show you why she is hands down the best in the business!

Lysette has always had an abundance of knowledge regarding real estate & the market's current conditions. She made me feel confident in my decisions. I knew she would always be open and honest about her opinions, which was important to me too. Lysette was all around an incredible agent - couldn't be happier with my decision to use her.

Lysette was on top of all the aspects that go with purchasing a home. She went above and beyond providing me with information and guided me through the entire process.

Lysette was EXCELLENT in every aspect.

This is our second time working with Lysette and can’t imagine working with anyone else. She has an incredible way of understanding what’s important to us now while helping us make a smart long term informed investment decision. She provides her full attention to detail, highly skilled in real estate guidelines and we have 100% confidence that she will represent us and manage through any challenges in a professional manner. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoy working with Lysette. She’s simply fantastic!

Lysette was simply stellar in every category. Over the years, we have purchased over 10 homes across the country and she was (by far) the best realtor we have worked with. She is smart, effective, personable, trustworthy, and highly knowledgeable. This is a second home for us and we did much of the sales process from different geographic locations. She made the entire transaction seamless. She was always available and she always responded quickly, accurately and with the required information. She was also very patient and professional. We could not be happier. I would absolutely work with her again and also highly recommend her to others. The key for us was her knowledge of the area, particularly waterfront homes.

The entire experience was excellent. We had done a significant amount of research and knew what we wanted but we needed someone to help make it happen. Lysette made it happen in a very positive way.

Lysette is amazing! She returns all calls, texts, emails in a super fast manner. She finds out answers quickly to what you need. She is in a league of her own.

Without any hesitation, I recommend Lysette and would use her again. Utmost professionalism. 10/10 service.

Lysette Portales was attentive and helpful at all stages of our search
and purchase. She communicated promptly and clearly and provided
sound advice in all matters, particularly regarding our offer strategy. My
wife and I felt like her most important clients although our purchase was
at the lower $ range in the local market. As out of town buyers looking in
this market for the first time, we felt confident in our decisions as a
result of her help. We will certainly use her again for any future
purchase and will recommend her to others. Very pleasant and helpful!
Very timely and responsive!

My experience with Lysette was above and beyond what I expected
when dealing with a realtor. I would say that she is an asset the the
company and I hope we continue to work together in the future. She's is
very motivated and was there to answer any and all my questions.

Lysette handled every facet of the transaction flawlessly. Despite being
from out of town, she was in our corner at all times and earned our trust
as our local expert.

Lysette Portales definitely went above and beyond to make the process
of buying our first home an AMAZING experience!! As first time buyers,
we had no clue where to start. Her knowledge of the industry, coupled
with her expertise of the Tampa Bay Area, made the buying process
quick and easy. Lysette was patient with us, and continued to be
reachable, honest, and persistent from beginning to end. Thanks to
Lysette, we were able to close on our dream house in only a month! We
really felt that she went the extra mile for us, and did everything in her

power to exceed our expectations. She is the utmost professional, and
she was truly a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be recommending
her to family/friends, and we will definitely work with her for any
adventures in the future. There's a lot of quality Realtors in the Tampa
Bay Area, but there is only one Lysette Portales.

I have worked with many real estate professionals before. Lysette
Portales and her team of associates are very professional,
knowledgable, courteous, dependable and responsive. I am extremely
satisfied with the service that she and her team provided and will
definitely work with Lysette on future properties.

Their listing of the home we purchased was the moving motivation.
Lysette and Dania could not have been better. Their knowledge of the
market was excellent and Lysette was a pleasure to do business with. I
will recommend highly to family and friends. Lysette was excellent in all
aspects of the sale and closing process.

Lysette Portales and Dania Perry have a great reputation and helped
us negotiate a great deal with favorable terms. They kept us up to date
often and and are extremely knowledgeable about the area. I would
highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best agents.

Lysette Portales is definitely in the correct line of work. She is very
easy to work with and is always very trustworthy. She communicates
well and follows through from beginning to end when dealing with any
issue. You never feel lost, insecure or that anything is going to fall
though the loop. She is very responsible.

Lysette Portales is the most professional accessible, knowledgeable,
helpful agent. She completely made by sales transaction enjoyable. I
would definitely use her again if the need arises. She's the best.

Lysette was very responsive to my emails and texts. She responded
within minutes when I had a question. She also knows the gulf coast
area so well. She was a great resource. She helped make the buying
process very easy and manageable.

Lysette is so knowledgable of the area and made our experience
pleasant in spite of unexpected issues unrelated to us, her or the seller.
She was so helpful and explained everything throughout the buying
process. While viewing another home, she quickly assessed what we
were looking for in a new home and immediately scheduled a viewing of
the absolute home of our dreams. We will definitely refer Lysette to
anyone we know looking for a home in the St. Petersburg area. She is
absolutely wonderful!

Lysette helped me find the perfect place in South Tampa! She is
extremely professional and attentive. Thank you SO much for
everything.

Lysette is a true professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone
looking to buy their next home. She truly made the whole purchase
process painless and stress free.

Lysette first took us around to look at property about a year or so ago
and we never found a property that we wanted to purchase and we
never got the feeling that we were wasting her time even though we
were lost a bit on what we wanted. So after a year or more we
contacted Lysette to look at property again and she seemed to
remember us as well as what she showed us the last time we looked
which I thought was remarkable. Lysette is the hardest working
millennial I have met and she was so nice to us and made time for us
while we were in town for only a few days it seemed like she had no
other clients then us even though I know she did. Lysette is a true asset
to your company don’t lose her!! Lysette was never late, never showed
up unprepared, had the patience of a saint and handled everything we
needed. Lysette is a true asset to your company and I would make sure
you don’t lose her!!

I would highly recommend Lysette. Wonderful to work with. Always
available no matter what time. Extremely knowledgeable. I have bought
and sold many homes over the years and this was the smoothest!

One of the best things about Lysette is that she has the ability to make
you feel like a friend and not just a client. She has great people skills. It
is evident that she is very knowledgeable in her field but also realizes
that making your clients feel comfortable and satisfied is important. She
is the best!

Lysette was extremely organized about the entire process and
outstanding with communication. She had every step of the process
outlined from signing the offer through the closing. It made the entire
thing very simple, especially with us being out of state. She was very
detail oriented and excellent with follow ups to ensure all was completed
in a timely fashion. Lysette’s assistance with the inspection process was
invaluable. It was so enjoyable to work with Lysette. She has a great
personality and is always very helpful. When we were out of state and
the “perfect home” came on the market, she was able to see the home
the first day, send us a video and answer any questions we had. Her
quick and helpful approach helped us to buy our dream home. I would
highly recommend Lysette for anyone buying or selling a home in this
area.

My husband and I worked with Lysette on the sale of our previous
home and the purchase of our new home and we are so glad we did.
Not only is Lysette professional and knowledgeable, but she treated us
more like friends which made us feel very comfortable with her
throughout the process. She wasn't afraid to put her clients first and
negotiate to ensure we got the best possible deal and was entirely
transparent from start to finish. We would highly recommend working
with Lysette on the sale or purchase of your next home!

We would recommend Lysette as she was so professional. We were
proud to have her represent us in the sale of our home.

Lysette went above and beyond in the sale of my home due to a
contentious divorce. She was always professional, polite and effective
in her handling of each unusual situation presented. For that I am very
grateful.

Lysette made sure that every detail of our purchase was done correctly
and on time. A phone call, text, or email was never left unanswered.
She made us a detailed schedule of all our deadlines and worked really
well with our lender to get everything done without any hiccups. We
never felt unaware or confused during this process. Obviously as a
nurse and a physician we don't know anything about buying a house. It
was really helpful that Lysette educated us on everything. No matter
how silly or complicated our questions were, she made us feel
comfortable to ask anything. We didn't know Lysette prior to buying our
home but it feels like we are friends now. It is almost sad the process is
over. I guess I will just have to find new things to call and text her about.
I think that when you go through a home buying experience and you are
excited and happy the entire time, that says something about the people
working on your home purchase process. Normally is can be stressful
and even frustrating at times, but with Lysette it never was. Even during
negotiations of the purchase price, Lysette did a really fair job
representing both us and the seller. I think working both sides of the
deal can be difficult, but her ability to be transparent, respectful, and
protective of both parties was impressive. She is a young woman who
clearly has her act together in what can be a very competitive and cut
throat business. I wish Lysette and her entire team all the best of luck
selling lots and lots of real estate in the future!

Lysette was very knowledgeable and honest. I would recommend her
to anyone. Her negotiating and guidance was incredible! I was very
happy with the entire experience. The house that I purchased was back
on the market very suddenly. Lysette notified me immediately and had
me in the house within 30 minutes of us knowing that it was back on the
market. She's on top of it! This was my first home. I imagined it being so
much more difficult to become a homeowner. It can be intimidating. Not
with Lysette and Century 21. Very smooth! Very happy with everyone
involved at Century 21! They were excellent!

Lysette is great! She is easy-going and a great listener. She took a lot
of time to help us find the right area. She is super responsive and very
easy to communicate with. Her negotiating skills are awesome! She
knows what a house is worth and sticks to her guns.

A true professional who very patiently adjusted our search until we hit a
bullseye. Unfortunately we dealt with difficult seller during a pandemic.
Her negotiating skills were put to the test to see the transaction through.
Strongly recommend.

Lysette was a tremendous help in purchasing our first home! She was
thorough, transparent, knowledgeable, organized, timely and
professional! She made our first home buying experience a breeze and
was so personable. 100% recommend and will use Lysette again!

Thank you Lysette Ketterer for helping is find our new home. I would
highly recommend Lysette, she is an excellent professional who listens
to her clients and understands theirs needs. She is extremely
knowledgeable of the area and of the rules that govern the realty
business. She was was always there every step of the way. Again,
thanks Lysette for your excellent service.

Lysette went above and beyond! She made sure I had all the facts and
did a great job negotiating on my behalf for exactly what I wanted.
Lysette answered every question (trust me there were a lot) and helped
me understand the buying process. She was always available for a
quick phone call or texted me back right away.

This is my second time working with Lysette! The first time was a
purchase as a first time home owner. This second time we worked
together for the sale of my previous home and purchase of my new
home. Every instance has been easy and Lysette makes the process
stress free! I highly recommend working with Lysette!

Lysette was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and was always
available to answer any of our questions. Lysette made our house
buying run smoothly and she was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you for selling my home in one day. Lysette is very
knowledgeable about the current market and very easy to work with.

Lysette has an excellent reputation and exceptional knowledge of the
market. Very professional and polite. She was always available and on
top of all things needed for the entire pre-contract to closing process.
Excellent agent and have already recommended to several other
potential buyers and sellers. The entire experience was absolutely
PERFECT!

Lysette did a great job of getting responses on all my offers in a time
when not many agents would respond. We ended up getting my
property off list price and under appraised value. She has my strongest
recommendation.

I highly recommended Lysette for any of your real estate dealings!! She
is a true professional, and made my buying experience a great one!
