Kelly is very knowledgeable, professional, easy going, hard working, and sincere. My wife and I bought a lovely house with her help. We never felt pressured, had plenty of options, and she was always available for any question (none too big or too small). If you're looking for a realtor, she's the best!

My wife and I were looking for a piece of real estate in Sarasota Florida when we stumbled across a home listed by Kelly Drost. Kelly has an excellent working knowledge of Sarasota, Nokomis, Venice and the Gulf coast in general. She was able to quickly understand our needs and guide us to the perfect home. She is attentive to detail, quick to follow up and always available to help, even after the sale. We have recommended Kelly to our friends and they have been very pleased with her performance. She's top notch in our book, thanks Kelly!

Kelly is such a good person who looks out for her clients best interest. She is responsible, reliable, fair, and very hardworking. She made my experience purchasing my first home a fond memory that I will cherish forever. She was patient with me when exploring potential homes, but persistent when representing me. She’s an all around gem.

"We had never bought a vacant lot before, and Kelly helped navigate us through all of it. She was so helpful every step of the way. She works tirelessly for her clients, and has tons of experience and knowledge. We are very lucky to have found Kelly. I would recommend her to anyone."

We moved to Sarasota in November 2019 without a lot of knowledge about the area. I was introduced to Kelly by a mutual friend, and she assisted my wife and I throughout the home buying process. I have worked with several real estate agents in the past, but none compare to Kelly. She was very helpful and thoughtful and made a great experience (especially with us being from out of town). We highly recommend Kelly, and plan to use her for our next transaction.
