Wow, I don’t even know how to begin this review. Backstory: my husband and I put our house on the market, it sold that day... we were NOT ready for that. Our new house has just begun the building phase. So my family of five and two dogs were essentially homeless. We packed up everything in storages, boarded our dogs and stayed with a friend. After trying and trying myself from sunrise to sunset with absolutely no luck, I took a shot and called Sandbar Realty. The first conversation I had with Kira, I hung up and felt like I took my first breath in a long time. She was on it. She literally took the reigns from me and assured me that I could relax and she’ll handle it, And she did. I mean, through the weekend at NIGHTS and even through Sunday, she was asking questions, contacting everyone she knew and keeping in touch with me about EVERYTHING, I never had to wonder if she forgot about us. In three days Kira and her team put us in a home with EVERY. SINGLE. REQUEST we asked for. I’m talking room, yard, price, neighborhood, they found it!!! We never had to raise our price, in fact we came out UNDER budget!! It just goes to show you NO job is to large or to small for her, she makes you feel like her number one priority. When she called and said “I found it” we were in tears! Thank you, thank you, thank you Kira and team you are a true blessing!!

We have been trying to buy a home for the last 8 months. Our first time we failed tremendously and part of that reason was because we didn't have the Sandbar team behind us. I came to Kira Sikes 2 months ago and asked for her help. Our lease is up at our apartment and we just really want to get into a home. Kira got us started on the process and helped every step of the way! (She even helped and answered questions when she was on her personal vacation) Kira Sikes and her team is really the best! They care about you and your views and what you want. They give their Profesional opinions and also personal opinions so that you can see things in a different light! I wouldn't trade Kira for the world and she will definitely be our realtor from this point forward on all the homes we purchase. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home, who is looking for honest opinions and options. She will make sure you get what you want. Thank you Kira and the Sandbar realty team for our gorgeous new home. The Williams Family!

The Kira Sikes Group went above and beyond in guiding me through the condo purchase process. After exploring several condos while getting my feet wet and being extremely responsive, accomodating and flexible, we found the place that was just right for me (location, price, floor plan, garage, amenities, etc...) in a market that was crazy fast from listings to under contract. After under contract, and overcoming a few bumps in the road through the lending process, we closed in record time without issue! I can't wait to fully move in this weekend and get settled in. This amazing Group also provides an unbelievable perk...a loaner moving truck for clients...who does that!!! So many things separate RedZone Realty and The Kira Sikes Group from the rest. Highly recommend!!! Special shout out to my friend and awesome agent, Lindsy Norse...you are THE BEST!!!

I am so glad that we chose Kira Sikes to help us find our home. She and her team were very professional and very thorough. She came up with some creative ideas for us to write a buyers letter and an escalation clause because the market was so hot and her suggestions literally made the difference. Kira crossed every T and dotted every i in this process and literally helped us WIN this house. I might add that Kira has been patiently keeping in touch and sending me useful listings and information from time to time for almost 4 years!! Finally the time came when it was time to look for real and she treated me like I was her best customer. I couldn’t be more pleased to be in this new beautiful home and Kira and her team at Sandbar really helped us get it done, and done quickly.

I cannot speak highly enough of Sandbar Realty especially of Toni Espinosa. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics shine through with every interaction and every step of the way. She has been an incredible help to me from the early initiation of contemplating purchasing a home all the way along through closing day celebrations. This was a tough and limited market and there were many hiccups along the way and Toni was ahead of the game and in control of each and every one. She has a passion for what she does and earnestly cares about what she is doing. She triumphed in finding my family our perfect home and I couldn’t be more appreciative!

Many Thanks to Kira and The Team over at Sandbar Realty!!! Selling our property has TRULY been a "Day at the Beach"!!! ⛱ Having your Expertise & Professionalism has made this experience Noteworthy! Keeping us involved and guiding us through the process was literally a Breeze!!! Make Sandbar Realty a destination on YOUR map, for ALL your Realty needs! Once again, this was a SEEMLESS process and we give ya'll nothing but THANKS and PRAISE Thank You for doing the hard work while we had a chance to play in the sun!❤ Our hearts go out to you!! Bless Ya'll for EVERYTHING!!! Sharon (Mom) & Family ✌

Kira and her team were great! I was selling my house and due to personal circumstances, my moving date was uncertain. Kira presented me with a variety of options and clearly explained the pros and cons to each option. She proactively communicated any updates. Most importantly, when funding was down to wire, Kira became a PI worthy of working for the FBI, and found the missing document, enabling the last step of the process to move forward, and got me my money in time! The process of buying and selling a home is stressful, do yourself a favor and go with a team that makes it easy and delivers on their promises.

I have been conducting business with Jamie for a little over 6 years. In doing so, you immediately realize that she is a person of character and only wishes the best for her clients. In my case, our business dealings quickly became a lasting friendship, in which I impeccably trust her in all facets of business, as well as our friendship. Having Jamie as your real estate agent also come with a bonus…her boyfriend, Matt. He has his own business in doing home renovations and woodwork. Together, they make a great team in real estate.

Kira makes the home buying process such an amazing journey. She found us exactly what type of homes we were looking for in our budget and in our prime locations. All we ever had to do was just show up to do walk throughs. After finding us our dream home which we got into early before open house because of her great connections, she guided us through every step of the closing process and made closing so easy. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Do not go with anyone else, go to Kira, you definitely will NOT regret it.

I'm looking to invest in real estate and have been talking to Kira for a few months soliciting her expertise about future opportunities. I have dealt with hundreds of realtors and Kira by far is the best. I will not do business anywhere else going forward as she is extremely professional, punctual, intelligent and is also patient which is unheard of in her industry. Don't get me wrong she is also relentless with working hard to get a deal done!! I am thankful for Kira and look forward to continue working with her.

I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with Kira Sikes and her group at Karsten Real Estate. They went above and beyond with helping me find the perfect first house to call my own. Kira was with me every step of the way and even months after I purchased my home checking in making sure that I had everything that I needed. I highly recommend Kira Sikes and her team if you are looking for your first home or the place to call home for the next chapter in your life!!

I am writing this review in regard to one of your talented agents, Jamie Allenbaugh. My law office recently contacted Ms. Allenbaugh in regard to a real estate matter in the Jacksonville area. She was prompt, courteous and well informed. She answered all my questions and addressed my issues in a professional and expeditious manner. I was quite impressed with this 5-star agent. I will recommend Jamie and Sandbar Realty to others. Sincerely, Timothy Paul Dawson, Esquire

We had a very negative experience with Kira. One of the agents in her team tried to steal us away from our own realtor which is against regulations since we had an exclusivity agreement. It was also a very unpleasant experience having to deal with Kira's passive aggressive email communications that were written in large bold font that was peppered with emojis and exclamation points. The agent showing our place knew nothing about the listing and was unprepared.

We stumbled across the house for sell while out walking Dec.26, 2020. Kira and her team were amazing. They were able to sell our condo and sell us the house in 30 days. We closed on the house the day after we closed on the condo. What an amazing team. They made the process easy and stress free, always staying in touch with us. Professional. Responsive. Awesome. and Easy. I highly recommend this team.

I highly recommend Kira, Carlos, Sonya, and the Redzone realty team. They were simply fantastic to work with! Texts and emails were always returned promptly, and they went the extra mile to help obtain recommendations for inspections, insurance, and every other property related action. This was one of the best real estate experiences I have ever had. The process was smooth from start to finish.

Jamie was a wonderful agent to work with.....I was impressed after our first conversation. She listened, and clearly understood my objectives and goals. I admire her tenacity, work ethic, focus and quick response. Jamie is an effective leader and researcher which greatly assisted me in narrowing my decisions. I highly recommend her guidance in your home buying journey.

We met Kira at an open house we visited. We were immediately impressed with how well she and her team presented the house and welcomed us in. When we were in need of a realtor we knew who we wanted to work with. She was always available and was a great resource as we looked for and found our new home. We would recommend her and the Sandbar team without hesitation.

Best Real Estate firm by far...Kira was amazing in helping us to sell our home and get the price we were hoping for AMAZINGLY FAST...She will be our agent forever....buying or selling....I knew she had a whole team behind her helping us accomplish our goals...both selling our home and finding our dream home....job well done....

I recently had the opportunity to work with Amelia Sabater from Sandbar Realty. I found her to be extremely professional, attentive to detail, and her willingness to help was unparalleled to any other realtor I’ve had the opportunity to work with before. Sandbar Realty is lucky to have someone like Amelia on their team.

Kira is not what you would call professional. Think very emotive texts and emails that ramble (I think the third was over 300 characters). She points fingers as opposed to solving problems. She might be fine with a cheap condo unit but you probably would be better served with a real pro if you have anything over $150k.

Jamie, Kira, and her team have been really helpful in explaining the home buying process to me, I’m a first time home buyer and to be honest the experience was terrifying to me. They broke it down step by step and made the process a breeze. I would highly recommend Sandbar Realty for all your real estate needs!!

I had nothing but excellent service from this company, they went above and beyond their scope of practice to make the sale of my home happen! Kira always responded with solutions and in times like these we need to hear how to get things done not why things won't work, I would choose this company again!

I’m a local investor in the Jacksonville Florida market and I recently closed a sale with Kira. Kira’s team worked extremely hard to get this deal done within a very short timeframe. In a competitive market like we are in now, it’s a challenge to find a hardworking team who delivers as promised.

I was looking for properties to flip and Jamie Allenbaugh with Sandbar Reality helped me out so much with the process! She literally broke down everything in laymen terms so I knew exactly what to look for. She was a huge help to the process and I would definitely recommend her services.

From start to finish, working with Kira Sikes and all other associates with Sandbar Realty was such a pleasure. Kira would always listen to our wants and concerns and would be quick to answer any questions we had. 10/10 will be working with her again when we decide it’s time to sell. =)

I have worked with Kira on one recent property transaction and look forward to working with her and her team on many more. She is particularly knowledgeable on the Jacksonville investment property market. She is extremely responsive and professional. Keep up the great work!

My realtor Jamie helped me win the "bidding war," with my current bungalow when the market was hottest last spring. This home suits all my personal and professional needs, she found what I was looking for, wrote a strong offer, and now I have a beautiful house.

Kira helped me purchase my first home! She made the process as stress free as possible and held my hand every step of the way! Thanks for helping me finally have the courage to make the step of purchasing a home! It feels great to be a homeowner!

Amelia Sabatar surpassed my expectations of a great realtor. She will help you every step of the way. Making it less stressful for you. She has great customer service and communicates with you throughout the whole process of buying a home.

In my dealings with Jamie Allenbaugh, I have been nothing but pleased with her authentic and professional demeanor. I have a had a great experience and look forward to many more opportunities to work with her & Sandbar Realty!

Kira and her team took the time to help us with a difficult sale. She went above and beyond to make sure everything got done as smoothly as possible and we are very happy with our results.

Kira is great! Amazing personality, super knowledgeable and great to work with! I highly recommend using her services if you’re buying or selling, not every agent is the same …

Kira and Vande are two of the sweetest people I have dealt with. Their experience and dedication to getting your real estate deal done is above reproach. Extremely trustworthy.

Amelia Sabater has proven to be an amazing realtor, she goes above and beyond for her customers. I am thankful to know her and recommend her to all my friends and family-

Amelia is so amazing and kind. She went out of her way to help me understand all I needed to know about buying a home. She is my Go-to-Gal whenever I'm going to move!

This team is A++++ I cannot say enough good things about them. They sold and closed my home in 30 days. They provided meaningful advice and were extremely responsive.

Great service, they are knowledgeable and organized, easy to communicate with and they do their job by explaining every step of the process, I highly recommend them.
