Chris Grant - Grant Team - RE/MAX Anchor Realty, Punta Gorda FL

I am a real estate investor with multiple properties and have dealt with many real estate agents across the country. The experience with Chris Grant agency has by far been the worst i’ve had. Before signing agreement, his partner Ryan agreed to have my property professionally cleaned and also agreed that the terms and conditions of contract would only be valid on the first day it is listed on MLS. After signing their tone completely changed, they had a scheduled photo shoot and I assumed they would have sent there cleaner to have the place ready for the shoot. To my surprise, they did not send any cleaner, instead the office manager Lori (who showed up to take photos) did some tidying up and took the pictures. I asked when they would send the cleaner and after some back and forth, it was clear to me they would not send any cleaner and the place was very dirty and needed to be cleaned for viewings and pictures. These were clear red flags- 1. Going back on your word 2. Willing to advertise and show property to clients uncleaned 3. Having an office manager take non professional pictures. At that point, I told them to hold off on listing the property on MLS so I can decide if I even want to move forward with them. Chris Grant noticed this and texted me that he’s letting me go based on excuses that had no substance. To save face and protect his own ego, he decided to cancel agreement before I did. After asking the firm to send me a cancellation document, Ryan text me that I owe them $1,000 for cleaning and photography otherwise they will hold me conditionally liable for the contract. I then emailed them stating there was no professional cleaning done, no professional photography, Chris Grant himself cancelled the agreement and the agreement isnt valid until first day on MLS (which it was never listed). Them asking for $1,000 was a crooked move. I got an email back and they changed their position to charge me $250 for cleaning and will hold my property keys until it is paid. All of the points I made to them are documented. I have an attorney involved and this is a clear depiction of malpractice, unprofessionalism, unethical practices and dis honesty. Holding the keys has also made this a security concern. If you are a real estate investor or an individual looking for an agent, I would strongly advise not to chose this firm. Plenty of better options in the market.

Chris always answers his phone. Availability is important to me. We had a difficult situation with a buyer and Chris and his team went above and beyond to get us to close. We also had an offer within 48 hours of listing. Chris is creative and flexible to complete the deal. One of the best attributes is Jodi in the office who works behind the scenes to handle all the details and communicate key dates and actions required.

Chris and his team helped us sell our home in Burnt Store Village during a time where there was, and continues to be, a LOT of competition of new builds. They negotiated a fair price and made our experience seamless. Not to mention, they were there along the way to help, above and beyond what would have been expected, with our move with some specials needs that arose during our process. My husband & I would highly recommend them - Buy OR Sell!

The ReMax Anchor team headed by Chris Grant just sold our condo in Burnt Store Isles. I recommend this team highly. Chris and his team members always got back to me promptly whenever I had a question or concern. Our listing was carried on several websites and reached a broad audience. Though the real estate market has taken somewhat of a downturn, this team was able to get the job done. A pleasure to work with

Chris and his team are great! Jodie was amazing about keeping us informed as we were selling our home from out of state…. Our home sold very quickly at a great price and the sale went through with absolutely no complications. We appreciate all your efforts from start to finish on our behalf! Thank you!

Listing with Chris Grant was our best decision in the sale of our home. His “Team” concept proved to be the perfect collection of skilled professionals who were highly knowledgeable and responsive at every step in the process. We have already recommended the Grant Team to other sellers and encourage anyone looking for real estate expertise to hire Chris Grant.

Hi Chris,

I wanted to give a well deserved compliment about Jodie. She did a great job handling our property,   always staying in touch and taking and returning our calls. She also communicated with the property  association and the title company in a very quick fashion, even taking calls and emails on the weekend. She made the property transfer the best it could be under the circumstances. She is a excellent part of the Grant team and others should learn from her.

I hardly  ever am able to write compliment letters, but glad to do it on this occasion.

Best of luck to you both.

The Grant Team is excellent! From the first visit with Chris we felt he was professional, knowledgable and honest. The photography and video staff were awesome. And Jodie, his licensed Transaction Coordinator was in constant communication with us and very detailed and thorough. Everyone was a joy to work with. We highly recommend The Grant Team for buying or selling your house!

We highly recommend Chris & his outstanding team. Our home went live on MLS Monday night. Tuesday we had 4 showings, & Wednesday morning 1 showing. We received 3 offers Wednesday & accepted 1 Thursday. We've bought & sold homes all over the USA, St Maarten, Saba, & Puerto Rico. We've never had such a positive experience in the 53 years of our marriage. It was a GREAT WEEK

Chris is an outstanding agent. He works very hard for his clients and really cares. He did a fantastic jib for us. Would highly recommend.

Ryan was amazing through the selling of our family home! From start to finish he went above and beyond. Beyond grateful for what you've done for us, and look forward to working with you in the future!

The entire team: Chris, Ryan, Jodie, Annalise, Renee and Lori where amazing to work with
