More from Our Clients
"I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled to give credit where credit is due. As an attorney, I have dealt with numerous realtors over the years — some good, some bad. I can honestly say that none compare to Steve and Lauren. Our first meeting was not only informative, it was extremely productive. They came prepared, laid out their plan, and executed it to perfection. They have the resources and contacts to deal with just about any issue that could arise when selling a home."
"Steven helped us purchase a home in Atlantic Beach while living in Illinois. The process was painless and went through without a hitch. He handled every aspect of the sale and was always prompt and courteous. He is truly a professional with a heart of gold."
"Steven is patient and understands there are many ways to sell a home, not just low pricing. He understands staging, setting realistic expectations and preparing a home to put its best foot forward. The whole team is professional in their appearance, actions and words."
"He and his son even took the time on Christmas Eve to show me a home — that's the kind of dedication Steven gives his clients! Steven was able to negotiate an amazing price. At my closing, the seller's agent took time to thank Steven for his professionalism."
"Lauren and Steve helped my wife and I from the start. Everything they did was professional and personalized for us. They advised us on the tough decisions and coordinating with the buyer of our home. The thing that impressed us the most was their prompt communication."
"Steven did an outstanding job selling my Florida rental property. This was a challenging property to sell and he found solutions to all the roadblocks. His local contacts to do last-minute work were invaluable."
"Justin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He goes above and beyond to be sure you are aware of all issues before and after closing. He is prompt with a reply whenever you have a question. Justin was our buyer agent for our move to the Jacksonville area. This is a top-notch team — you could not ask for a better team to have on your side!"

- Sonia was amazing. I was relocating from out of state and she couldn't have made my experience any easier. From the constantly sending locations, to the video chats,to working with the family that I have locally. She did everything to make sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. I don't know how I would have done it without her.Thomas Blanchard
- Steven did an outstanding job selling my Florida rental Property. This was a challenging property to sell and he found solutions to all the roadblocks. His local contacts to do last minute work was instrumental in getting the property sold. I have to say without Steven’s tireless work not sure this property would have been sold. Very happy with Steven and his team.Kevin Flynn

- I have known Steven for over nine years. His office handled the purchase of my residence in a very professional manner. What made the transaction less stressful was his after sale effort to make things right. If I sell my home in the future, he is the person to see!!Roberto Cruz
- Wow! Is my first reaction when I think of eXp Realty. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this hardworking and caring team. They were amazing from the get go. Our realtor, Mallory Cruz was diligent in her efforts to find us our perfect home. Buying a home can be a stressful experience. But I feel like with Mallory's persistent hard work, most of the stress was eliminated. We look forward to using eXp Realty and Mallory in the future.B Hosler
- The Reel Keeper Team is one of the rare companies who still get to know their clients, always respond timely and, actively listen to us as a client! They have a model that supports networking and vendor solutions, not just digital marketing like we've found with other realtors. We continuously recommend them to friends and family!Daniel Moore
- Can’t say enough great things about Steve Croy and his team. They are honest and reputable people/agency that is sincere about their clients. If we ever purchase or sell again we will definitely use Reel Keeper EXP Realty.Dennis Campbell
- Justin really cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond what you would expect as a realtor. He was with us from start to finish. We had a few bumps and he was there with us the entire time.Terresa Roulhac
- Justin was with me every step in the process of finding a home through closing on the home. He definitely had my back, kept me informed and protected. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home and I’m sure he would also do a fantastic job selling a home. He would be my first choice in either process. Knowledgeable and honest and extremely helpful. I can’t thank him enough!Cynthia Pedersen
- My sister and I just relocated to the St. Augustine area from New Jersey and family recommended talking to Justin. He is great! he is knowledgeable of the area and knew of specific communities for us to look at and decide where we wanted to settle. When a home became available in the community we wanted he was quick to respond and secured the home for us. Without his help we might not have been able to get the home we wanted. We highly recommend working with Justin.Elaine Catapane
- I had Justin Croy help me buy my first home two years ago and he was such a help and now I decided to sell and within days of it being on the market he had my home under contract and made the whole process smooth and effortless, will definitely be using his help on purchasing my next home!Danny Cruz
- We had the pleasure of working with Justin Croy on the sale of our home and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. Justin has deep market knowledge, excellent communications skills and is truly interested in the families and communities he serves. Because we listed after the Jacksonville market had “cooled off” he had to market our home, network with other agents and agencies and position our property in a positive and superior light. He worked hard to sell within our timeframe and to obtain our desired price. Justin's professionalism, positive personality and honesty make him the best realtor we have worked with in our 30+ years of real estate purchases. The next time we move our first call will be to Justin and yours should be too!C Nolan

- Justin went above and beyond to make sure that buying my first home was a positive experience. In the time we worked together he never lost faith that we’d find the perfect home, and we did!

- So I’ve actually purchased 2 homes and sold one with Justin and his team at eXp. Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had. The hole process was made as simple as possible. There isn’t a time you feel alone in the process as they walk you through every step of the way! And again Justin was/is the man!Justen Urraro
- Lauren did a wonderful job helping us negotiate the purchase of a home in Jacksonville. Her communication was top notch and as a native from this area she has been very helpful in lots of resources from contractors and service providers to great restaurants and places to shop. Would definitely recommend her.Susan Ford

That’s how I eventually found it! And it’s the perfect home for me! Thank you, Justin, for always being there for me, being professional every step of the way, and guiding me through the process from beginning to end. I couldn’t have done it without you!Aimee Karaitis
- Justin and the team at Reel Keepers did an excellent job in selling our house. Everything from help to stage it, going over timelines on preparing the listing and going through the multiple showings and offers that we received. That service continued from from the acceptance of the offer to the closing. I highly recommend them if you are looking to buy or sell a home.Ben Balke

- We had an excellent and smooth buying experience with Justin. We appreciated his professionalism, great advice and local market expertise. It took us some time to pinpoint what we were looking for in a home, but Justin was always there to provide great insights and guide us in the right direction.

- Steve really knows real estate. Just incredibly knowledgeable about everything real estate. Real Keeper Realty would be and will be my first and last stop when buying or selling. Thank you guys for all your help and useful info to get everything I wanted out of my property.Nathan Stuart
- Buyer beware. I had hired Steve as my realtor, what a mistake, he had to be the decision maker on everything. I was not able to have my own opinion on anything. From hiring contractors to hiring a inspector. I had to use his. It was his way or no way. I went with another realtor and got a house on my terms. I am happy I did.jkitty2010
