I have worked with Kira on one recent property transaction and look forward to working with her and her team on many more.

She is particularly knowledgeable on the Jacksonville investment property market. She is extremely responsive and professional. Keep up the great work!

We have bought and sold several properties using Kira as our agent.

Her knowledge, helpfulness, and experience is why we still call on her for our real estate needs. We also want to give a shout out to her team. We can’t say enough good things about Kira and her whole team. They go the extra mile.

Wow, I don’t even know how to begin this review.

Backstory: my husband and I put our house on the market, it sold that day... we were NOT ready for that. Our new house has just begun the building phase. So my family of five and two dogs were essentially homeless. We packed up everything in storages, boarded our dogs and stayed with a friend. After trying and trying myself from sunrise to sunset with absolutely no luck, I took a shot and called Sandbar Realty. The first conversation I had with Kira, I hung up and felt like I took my first breath in a long time. She was on it. She literally took the reigns from me and assured me that I could relax and she’ll handle it, And she did. I mean, through the weekend at NIGHTS and even through Sunday, she was asking questions, contacting everyone she knew and keeping in touch with me about EVERYTHING, I never had to wonder if she forgot about us. In three days Kira and her team put us in a home with EVERY. SINGLE. REQUEST we asked for. I’m talking room, yard, price, neighborhood, they found it!!! We never had to raise our price, in fact we came out UNDER budget!! It just goes to show you NO job is to large or to small for her, she makes you feel like her number one priority. When she called and said “I found it” we were in tears! Thank you, thank you, thank you Kira and team you are a true blessing!!

Kira and her team are true professionals!

They have gone above and beyond to help my husband and I navigate a very competitive market. Kira is so knowledgeable of the local real estate market and has helped us make informed decisions every step of the way.

I am so glad that we chose Kira Sikes to help us find our home.

She and her team were very professional and very thorough. She came up with some creative ideas for us to write a buyers letter and an escalation clause because the market was so hot and her suggestions literally made the difference. Kira crossed every T and dotted every i in this process and literally helped us WIN this house. I might add that Kira has been patiently keeping in touch and sending me useful listings and information from time to time for almost 4 years!! Finally the time came when it was time to look for real and she treated me like I was her best customer. I couldn’t be more pleased to be in this new beautiful home and Kira and her team at Sandbar really helped us get it done, and done quickly.

Kira makes the home buying process such an amazing journey.

She found us exactly what type of homes we were looking for in our budget and in our prime locations. All we ever had to do was just show up to do walk throughs. After finding us our dream home which we got into early before open house because of her great connections, she guided us through every step of the closing process and made closing so easy. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Do not go with anyone else, go to Kira, you definitely will NOT regret it.

Kira is great!

Amazing personality, super knowledgeable and great to work with! I highly recommend using her services if you’re buying or selling, not every agent is the same ?

We stumbled across the house for sell while out walking Dec.

26, 2020. Kira and her team were amazing. They were able to sell our condo and sell us the house in 30 days. We closed on the house the day after we closed on the condo. What an amazing team. They made the process easy and stress free, always staying in touch with us. Professional. Responsive. Awesome. and Easy. I highly recommend this team.

Doug Powell

I’m a local investor in the Jacksonville Florida market and I recently closed a sale with Kira.

Kira’s team worked extremely hard to get this deal done within a very short timeframe. In a competitive market like we are in now, it’s a challenge to find a hardworking team who delivers as promised.

Jesse Wyatt

I had nothing but excellent service from this company, they went above and beyond their scope of practice to make the sale of my home happen!

Kira always responded with solutions and in times like these we need to hear how to get things done not why things won't work, I would choose this company again!

"This review is long overdue as Kira went above and beyond for us when we bought our home several months ago. As first time homebuyers with a tight timeline, we were not the easiest to work with but Kira still went above and beyond to hold our hand throughout the entire process and ensured that we received not only the house we loved, but an awesome deal. Kira answered our texts and calls (which were frantic with uncertainty at times!) quickly and professionally. Kira is one of a kind, and we are so grateful for the heart and kindness that she put into our deal."

"Kira was incredibly helpful and would highly recommend using her for any real estate purchase or sale. She was always available (literally always) and helped answer all questions I had about the land. She even submitted a utilities availability request on my behalf which is unheard of. Highly recommend."

"I was looking to sell my condo in this crazy market and Kira was the perfect person to get the job done! She was able to help me figure out what was best to complete before listing, set up photos, even have a quick solution for a “paint match” catastrophe on my end, and then price my condo perfectly for the market and location. In the end, Kira was able to get me DOUBLE net walk away than I had originally wanted and we accepted an offer 17k OVER asking price!! Kira even negotiated certain things on the offer as well to my benefit. Kira and her team are extremely professional, hard working, and most certainly the best in the business. Will definitely be using Kira for all my reality needs in the future!"

"I have a high level of experience with contracts and real estate transactions, so I was comfortable contacting the seller's agent directly. Kira did an amazing job representing the best interests of her sellers, while also acting as a liaison for me and representing the transaction. Kira provided excellent recommendations for home inspections, insurance, and all other property related matters. Any text or email were immediately returned... And I cannot say enough about Kira's associate, Carlos. Carlos went above and beyond with every detail. Whether it is your first closing, or if you are seasoned expert, you can't go wrong by having Kira and her team on your side."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Sandbar Realty especially of Toni Espinosa. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics shine through with every interaction and every step of the way. She has been an incredible help to me from the early initiation of contemplating purchasing a home all the way along through closing day celebrations. This was a tough and limited market and there were many hiccups along the way and Toni was ahead of the game and in control of each and every one. She has a passion for what she does and earnestly cares about what she is doing. She triumphed in finding my family our perfect home and I couldn’t be more appreciative!"

"What Can I say Kira Sikes/ Lyndsy Norse of the Kira Sikes group were absolutely unbelievably Amazing. They were their butts off and are very detailed and really care about what they and most importantly care about the customers. They worked little miracles everyday and made my family’s dreams come true. I hope that any one else looking to sell or buy a new house the Kira Sikes group will make that dream a reality. We will always appreciate their efforts and be forever grateful."

"We have been trying to buy a home for the last 8 months. Our first time we failed tremendously and part of that reason was because we didn't have the Sandbar team behind us. I came to Kira Sikes 2 months ago and asked for her help. Our lease is up at our apartment and we just really want to get into a home. Kira got us started on the process and helped every step of the way! (She even helped and answered questions when she was on her personal vacation)Kira Sikes and her team is really the best! They care about you and your views and what you want. They give their Profesional opinions and also personal opinions so that you can see things in a different light! I wouldn't trade Kira for the world and she will definitely be our realtor from this point forward on all the homes we purchase. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home, who is looking for honest opinions and options. She will make sure you get what you want. Thank you Kira and the Sandbar realty team for our gorgeous new home. The Williams Family!"
