Kari Crites

As a Florida native and licensed real estate professional since 2018, I bring my clients a combination of local knowledge, real-world property experience, and straightforward guidance throughout the buying or selling process.

My background in the home-service industry gives me a perspective that goes beyond simply opening doors and looking at finishes. I understand many of the practical considerations that come with owning a home in Florida—from pools and landscaping to ongoing maintenance, property condition, and the expenses buyers may not immediately think about when choosing a home. I use that experience to help my clients ask the right questions, recognize potential concerns, and make informed decisions about one of their largest investments.

I especially enjoy working with buyers. Whether someone is purchasing their first home, relocating to Southwest Florida, searching for a seasonal property, or simply looking for their next home, I take the time to understand what they actually want and help them navigate the process without unnecessary pressure. I believe my job is not to sell someone a house—it's to help them find the right one.

For sellers, I bring that same practical perspective to evaluating a property, determining what is worth addressing before listing, positioning it competitively, and presenting it in a way that attracts serious buyers.

I primarily serve Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Englewood, Rotonda West, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities. Being a Florida native gives me an appreciation for both the benefits and the unique considerations of owning property here, and I enjoy helping clients understand the area as well as the homes they're considering.

My approach is personal, responsive, honest, and straightforward. I communicate consistently, follow through, and advocate for my clients from our first conversation through closing. My goal is for every client to feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and confident that they have someone genuinely in their corner throughout the entire process.
