TESTIMONIALS

Chris and The Arata Team were first-class professionals from start to finish. I entrusted Chris with the sale of my home, and from our initial meeting to the closing table, Chris was transparent, direct and clear about the selling process. He was able to leverage both his local market knowledge and his experience to ensure a smooth transaction that exceeded my expectations. Chris doesn’t just care about the sale, but also the client. He works diligently to make sure details are clearly communicated and goals are met at each milestone. Who you list with matters. The Arata team delivers with patience, professionalism and attention to detail.

Sold a Single Family home in 2026 in Clearwater, FL.

Chris did an outstanding job overall! We received regular communications on the status of showings, market conditions, feedback from buyers, etc. Given the tough condo market that we are currently in, Chris was proactive in making recommendations that could help sell the unit, as well as thinking outside of the box. We would definitely use Chris again.

Sold a Condo home in 2026 in Palm Harbor, FL.

My wife and I had a very specific timeline and criteria for purchasing a condo. We were only in town for a few weeks and wanted to purchase one for ourselves and our daughter. Chris was not only able to complete the entire process within a month (from showing properties to closing), but he went far above and beyond to support us when we were not present for the closing. Chris clearly has a wealth of knowledge because he handled every step of the process swiftly and confidently. We knew this buying process was going to get done, knowing that Chris was there to take care of everything for us. We will certainly recommend him to our friends and family, and for ourselves the next time we will purchase a property!

I had an excellent experience working with The Arata Team! Their knowledge of the neighborhood I purchased in was invaluable. They made each step clear and stress-free from start to finish. They timely answered my questions and provided updates. When it came time to close the deal, their negotiation skills really stood out and helped secure the best deal. I highly recommend The Arata Team to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Chris was fantastic as usual. Will continue to work with him in every sell/purchase because of what he’s been able to do and get done. He is always responsive and helpful in every step of the process.
 

Sold a Single Family home in 2025 in Clearwater, FL.

We honestly could not have asked for a better first-time home buying experience! Chris was always available, answered all of our questions, and did everything he could to help us find the perfect place. We really felt supported throughout the entire process and could not recommend him enough!

Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Palm harbor, FL.

We are incredibly happy that John and Chris from the Arata team were recommended to us by family who utilized their expertise twice. Now we know first hand why. From start to finish, they were kind, thorough, knowledgeable, and highly professional. They took the time to understand our family’s specific needs when looking for our perfect home. They were with us every step of the way, providing support and guidance throughout the process. Their dedication and integrity truly set them apart. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future, whether buying or selling, and we highly recommend the Arata team to anyone looking for agents they can trust.
