Working with the Ivy Group on the sale of my home and then the purchase of my new home in the Jacksonville area was an absolute pleasure. This is a group that means business on both sides of the transaction. As a first time seller they provided unparalleled support and a wealth of honest advise that got us seamlessly to the closing table right on my timeline. As a buyer it was absolutely to my benefit that these four ladies work interchangeably within a powerful team dynamic. Not only was there so much flexibility with scheduling when we could see properties, but we also got to see the same properties with different team members and hear different perspectives that greatly helped in our decision making process. We would highly recommend the Ivy Group to anyone in the process of buying or selling. You could not ask for a better team on your side of the table.

As a first time homebuyer the entire process can feel daunting. The Ivy group was there with me providing unparalleled support and honest feedback every step of the way. Ready to answer all of my questions, available to talk me through any part of the process, and really helped me feel confident throughout the experience. This team works together so seamlessly and they all have so much experience but put together they’re an unstoppable force. I want to thank them so much for helping me purchase my first home in an experience that, because of the Ivy Group, was joyous and unforgettable.

Kasey and Melanie recently helped me to sell my Florida condo in a very difficult market. In an era when it seems that many real estate agents list a property then simply sit back and monitor requests for showings generated on the listing sites, they provided old-fashioned hands-on service. They showed the property to their own interested clients, actively followed up on showings by other agents, communicated their results to me and accordingly made adjustments as needed to move forward. When repairs were needed they found appropriate contractors, especially helpful since I had moved out of the area. Despite low turnout for open houses, they spent their own precious time conducting them on multiple occasions. I commend them for their professionalism, tenacity, and respect for their clients.

The very best realty group in north Florida! Working with The Ivy Group, specifically Kasey and Catarina, was an absolute joy. They helped us find and purchase our home, and when the time came to sell, there was no question we would turn to them again. Their attention to detail, market knowledge, and genuine care for their clients is unmatched. They made both buying and selling feel seamless and well-informed, guiding us every step of the way with patience and expert insight. You can truly feel that they want the best for you- not just a transaction, but a successful, meaningful outcome. We’re so grateful to have had them by our side and highly recommend them for your buying and selling needs!

Ritter Soares team was outstanding! After six months on the market with a different broker and nearly no showings, We followed Ritter Soares advice and made some minor changes to the home and the staging. We listed it with them and within a matter of weeks we had a near full price offer and closed in just a few weeks after that. They were incredibly responsive, always available and overall excellent brokers that will work hard for their clients.

Kasey and Catarina did above and beyond. My husband, my daughter and myself were in town only for a few days, they show us all the house we requested and then some. We saw homes from in St. Augustine to Jacksonville and ended finding Ponte Vetra. We found the perfect home in Nocatee. Kasey and Catarina helps us the beginning to the end . They evening from a cleaning person to have the whole house, even in the inside cabinets . They got me the phone numbers for everything I needed. It’s a little more difficult living in the Connecticut. I would Recommend Kasey and Catarina to any one!!

Kasey Ritter was knowledgeable, kind and energetic. She made this process effortless on our part. We met with Kasey and her partner on Thursday. They had wonderful professional pictures taken that very day. The listing was posted Friday afternoon and the condo was sold for full asking price on Saturday! Inspection, repairs and walk-through were seamless, with Kasey always in attendance. Even the closing was on time and easy. Kasey did an outstanding job gathering comparable prices and presenting a cogent plan. She put together a package advertising nearby parks, schools and other perks. My family would highly recommend Kasey for anyone buying or selling property!

Kasey and Catarina from First Coast Sotheby’s realty did an excellent job, and I highly recommend them if you are ever looking to buy or sell in the Jacksonville area. My condo sold in 33 days because of Kasey and Catarina’s hard work and professionalism. They were fun to work with and went out of their way to make sure the sale happened seamlessly.

We have no words for Ritter Soares Team! This was our first experience buying a house and thank God Kasey and Catarina came to us. It wasn't a easy task for them to deal with Me and my millions of questions and requirements, but they did a amazing job. They also guide us to a very good mortgage team, that made everything much easier for us to finish and settle our process. We're so happy and excited with our new home. I totally recommend them to anybody looking in to buy your dream home. Kasey and Catarina Thank you so much!

My Family experience was great! Kasey and Catarina stayed on top of things and were always available. We are so happy We chose to use Ritter Soares Team with the help of the sale and buy of our beautiful new Home. It was great working with them. We would highly recommend Ritter Soares Team.

Kasey and Catarina were wonderful to work with! We had very specific criteria and they were great about identifying the correct kind of properties which helped make our search so much easier. They are both so kind and such a joy to deal with! We will use them again when we need to buy or sell a property and definitely recommend them to anyone in need of realtors.

Kasey and Catarina did a good job selling our home. They communicated well throughout the process and offered some good solutions while the home was being marketed. I would recommend their services.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with the Ritter Soares team for my first time home purchase. I didn't have a realtor at the time but I had been looking at a specific house for about 45 days. When I finally was ready to pursue the house it was off the market. That's when I met Kasey and Katerina. I called and she quickly called me back. Explained that one of her listings I was interested in was suddenly off the market. So after giving her details she told me she would talk to the sellers. The next day she got back to me and had great news. Soon after we met in person for the first time at the showing. When I met them I didn't feel pressured and everything was on my terms. They were very knowledgeable about the property and answered all my questions with integrity. I feel as realtors they are truly one of a kind because they know how big of a commitment buying a home is and they are not just trying to get a commission. They truly care about you. If your looking for a hard working and genuine people to help you buy your next home. The right choice is the Ritter Soares Team. Kasey and Caterina

Very caring and supportive. Had a very long and difficult road with selling my house but they were there for us every step of the way. My wife enjoyed the fact that Catarina speaks Spanish and was able to help her understand some things better in her first language. Would highly recommend.

Our journey with Catarina and Kasey began by filling out an online request with Zillow. When we spoke to Catarina and explained that we lived in another state and the purchase was for a second home. We also explained that the purchase was nine months to a year away. I remember Catarina saying - “No problem. We are here for you.” About 2 months later we met The First Ladies of Real Estate - Catarina and Kasey - in person. We saw our first properties and were impressed with how professional, down to earth and knowledgeable they both were. We saw four condos on that initial trip. Three months later we saw three additional condos. In between the visits we were sent new listings as soon as they were posted - real time. Four months later we toured three more condos. It was apparent these ladies were vested in our dream to own a beach property. On each tour Catarina and Kasey explained the advantages and disadvantages of each property and helped us with every step of the process. In May of this year we received a call from Kasey and Catarina saying a listing had just posted and we should take a look at it. My wife loved it. So the ladies dropped everything and went straight to the condo. We did a face time tour and were sold. They had found the dream property for us. We told Kasey and Catarina we didn’t want lose this condo. The First Ladies of real estate, (our new name for Catarina and Kasey), did not disappoint. We got the condo below asking. It took a year, but it was a great journey and well worth the wait. Kasey and Catarina were amazing partners along the journey and did everything to help us realize our dream. We would recommend the Ritter Soares Team of Kasey Ritter and Catarina Soares hands down.

Kasey and Catarina helped my wife and I buy a new home and sell our old home. They were very helpful with answering all questions regarding the home buying/selling process, always made themselves available via calls or texts and were very professional every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Being first time home buyers, my husband and I had a lot of questions. Kasey and Catarina were very patient and walked us through the entire process. They're very responsive and worked hard to make our dream home become a reality!

They were excellent!! We had our house sitting on the market for over 2 years. We had tried other realtors and for sale by owner with frustratingly little success. Catarina, Kasey, and their team came in and quickly and cost-effectively helped us reposition the house to hit the market perfectly. Their broker is a past home builder with a great reputation and good understanding of construction costs, and his wife is an interior designer. The four of them walked our house and put together a detailed 3 tier plan of what improvements were a necessity, what would be nice, and what would just be frosting on the cake. They knew what was a good use of our money, and what wasn't. We spent a little over a month making the recomended improvements, and then Kasey and Catarina hit the marketing hard. They were so committed to getting our house sold quickly and at a good price. We were under contract in a month, and at a price that recovered all of our improvements and commission. It was such an amazing experience. They were amazing throughout the entire process.

Kasey and Caterina made the home buying process streamlined, especially during a hectic market. They were always willing to make sure I was pleased and that I found the right home for me. Highly recommend!

Kasey and Catarina did an excellent job in helping us achieve a record sale of our luxury beachfront condo in Sawgrass. Both are extremely professional real estate experts who were immediately responsive to our needs and concerns and provided key guidance, support, and services necessary for us to achieve our goals in selling our condo. They both were instrumental in assuring that our sale closed quickly and smoothly. Kasey and Catarina are very engaging, intelligent realtors who are a pleasure and easy to work with. We recommend them highly. -- Paul & Nina

They were fantastic!!! Extremely helpful and cordial with us. They both not only understood what we considered to be our ideal home but also managed to make our transition to Jacksonville smooth and warm. At the end of this process we found two new friends. Thank you so much for everything!

We had an excellent experience working with Catarina on purchasing our land. She is professional, polite, friendly and knowledgeable. She made what seemed could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as could be. We definitely recommend !

It's my pleasure to write this testimonial for Kasey Ritter and Catarina Soares of ONE Sotheby's International Realty. I met Kasey and Catarina through a mutual friend last year to assist my family in selling two properties in the San Marco area of Jacksonville, FL. Kasey and Catarina proved to be very comfortable to work with, and both properties sold without much difficulty. They represented our family in a professional manner, and both realtors listened and respected our opinions from our first meeting to the closings. They were always prompt returning any messages I left them. I would give Kasey and Catarina a 5 star rating for their real estate services and would not hesitate to use them again if I need their services.

Words will never explain our gratitude to this team! The sale of our house came with its fair share of hiccups, but my husband and I couldn't have asked for better realtors to be on our side. The Ritter Soares Team treated us like family and fought for our best interests every step of the way. They have earned customers for life, and we will refer them to friends and family every chance we get. This is an incredible team, and we were lucky to have them!

Kasey, A short note to let you know how pleased my family and I have been with your management of the sale of our late mother's house on Granada Blvd. S. Your advice on the best approach to showing the house and your constant updates on the showings kept us fully informed. Thank you for your professionalism & thoughtfulness throughout the process. I will be sure to recommend you to my friends who may be looking to list or but property. Best, Rodney Margol

We recently had the pleasure of working with Kasey Ritter from the Ritter-Soares Team at One Sotheby’s International to sell our building lot, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Kasey demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and transparency, making the entire process easy and stress-free. Right from our initial consultation, Kasey impressed us with her in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences and provided valuable insights and guidance along the way. Sotheby’s extensive network and resources, resulted in maximum exposure for our property. Within a short time frame, we began to receive multiple inquiries and offers, a testament to Kasey’s marketing prowess and negotiation skills. In the end, thanks to Kasey's expertise and diligence, we were able to successfully close the sale of our lot with terms that exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and wholeheartedly recommend Kasey to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional.
