About Us

At Kinest Realty, we believe real estate should feel less like a transaction and more like a trusted relationship. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your last, or making a move somewhere in between, we’re here to make the process smart, seamless, and—dare we say—enjoyable.

We’re a locally owned, independent brokerage based in St. Petersburg, Florida, with deep roots in the community and a modern approach to marketing, service, and strategy. Our clients choose us for our results—but they remember us for how we made them feel: heard, supported, and 100% confident every step of the way.

And in case you’re wondering, it’s pronounced Ki-nest. It kind of sounds like kindness, which works out perfectly—because that’s exactly how we do business.

The name Kinest reflects who we are at our core:

  • Kin” symbolizes the way we treat our clients—with the warmth, honesty, and care of family.
  • Nest” represents what we help people build, whether it’s their first starter home, a dream waterfront estate, or a smart investment for the future.

If you’re selling, we take the stress off your shoulders and handle everything from staging and pricing to photography, advertising, and negotiating top-dollar results. Your property will be positioned to shine in today’s market—both online and in person—with custom marketing strategies that speak to the right buyers.

If you’re buying, we guide you through the process with transparency, education, and straight answers. We don’t just unlock doors—we help you understand neighborhoods, flood zones, insurance requirements, and all the fine print that makes Florida real estate uniquely challenging. We’re here to help you avoid costly mistakes and move forward with clarity.

We also specialize in guiding clients through more complex transitions—relocations, divorces, probates, estate sales—and we do it with discretion, care, and expertise. Our team knows how to handle the tough stuff while making sure you feel supported and in control.

We proudly serve buyers and sellers throughout Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay area. At Kinest Realty, we don’t just help you move—we help you move forward. With heart, strategy, and a little extra kindness along the way.
