When you are trying to choose a real estate agent in Tallahassee, experience and market knowledge matter.
But so do the things that are harder to measure on a résumé.
Does the agent listen? Are they patient? Will they answer your questions? Do you trust them to point you in the right direction when you are unsure what to do next?
Those qualities came up repeatedly when clients described their experiences working with Kelly Chavers and Sarah Goldie McKinzie of Hum Real Estate.
In this client testimonial video, people who have worked with Kelly and Sarah talk about their knowledge, patience, transparency, helpfulness, and the confidence they felt having someone in their corner throughout the real estate process.

Real estate can involve some pretty big decisions.
Sellers are deciding how to position and negotiate one of their largest assets. Buyers may be deciding where they are going to live for years to come and how much they are comfortable spending to get there.
That means choosing an agent is not just about finding someone who can complete the paperwork.
You want someone you feel comfortable asking questions. Someone who listens. Someone who understands what you are trying to accomplish. And someone you trust to help you figure out where to turn when the answer requires another professional.
Those qualities show up again and again in the way clients describe working with Kelly Chavers and Sarah Goldie McKinzie.
Some client testimonials focus on a particular transaction or a specific real estate skill.
The comments about Kelly Chavers in this video go a little broader.
Clients repeatedly describe Kelly as someone they enjoyed working with not just because of what he knows about real estate, but because of how he treats people.
“Kelly is very caring, very kind. He's awesome as a Realtor, but he's also awesome as a person.”
Other clients described him as friendly, helpful, smart, and passionate.
That matters because a real estate transaction can last weeks or months, and the relationship with your agent often continues well beyond closing.
You are not just choosing someone who knows how to market a house or write an offer.
You are choosing someone you may call when something unexpected happens, when you need a recommendation, or when another real estate decision comes along years later.
You do not need your real estate agent to personally know the answer to every question that could possibly come up.
In fact, some questions should be answered by attorneys, inspectors, lenders, insurance professionals, contractors, title professionals, or other specialists.
What clients do need is an agent who recognizes when additional expertise may be necessary and can help point them toward the appropriate resource.
One Kelly Chavers client described exactly that experience:
“Anything that we were unsure about, Kelly was able to point us in the right direction.”
That is an important distinction.
Good real estate representation is not pretending to be every professional involved in the transaction. It is helping clients navigate the process, identify the right questions, and understand when another qualified professional should be brought into the conversation.
One of the more interesting comments in this video has nothing to do with a particular house.
A client described Kelly as:
“Someone you keep wanting to work with.”
They explained that the relationship did not feel like Kelly was simply “the Realtor for the first house I bought.”
That is a meaningful measure of client experience.
Buying or selling real estate is not necessarily a once-in-a-lifetime event. People move. Families grow. Jobs change. Investment opportunities come along. Parents downsize. Children eventually buy homes of their own.
Having a Tallahassee real estate professional you already know and trust can make the next decision easier.
Another client pointed to Kelly's reputation around town, saying that when his name comes up, people respond with recognition and positive things to say about him.
That testimonial reflects the client's personal experience and perception, but it also illustrates something worth considering when hiring locally: reputation matters.
The Sarah Goldie McKinzie testimonials in this video center on patience, knowledge, transparency, and making clients feel comfortable during the homebuying process.
One client summed up the experience simply:
“Sarah was amazing. She was extremely patient.”
The same client said they found the right house within their third or fourth showing and credited Sarah's knowledge with helping them feel comfortable throughout the search.
According to the client, Sarah understood what they needed and wanted and stayed focused on helping them find the right fit.
That is an important part of a productive home search.
Seeing more houses does not necessarily mean getting better results.
A good agent should be learning along the way, understanding what matters to the client, and helping narrow the search as those priorities become clearer.
There is a lot of pressure surrounding real estate already.
Mortgage payments matter. Prices matter. Inspections matter. Competition from other buyers may matter. And the fear of making a very expensive mistake definitely matters.
The agent does not need to add more pressure.
Sarah's clients in this video repeatedly describe an experience built around patience and understanding what the client actually wanted.
One client said Sarah's knowledge made them comfortable because they felt she had their best interests at heart.
That is their personal assessment of the relationship, but it highlights a useful question for anyone interviewing a Tallahassee real estate agent:
Do I feel like this person is trying to understand what is right for me, or simply trying to get me to make a decision?
For a first-time homebuyer, even knowing which questions to ask can be difficult.
One first-time homebuyer in the video specifically praised Sarah's transparency and responsiveness:
“If I had any questions, she had the answers.”
That kind of communication can make an unfamiliar process much easier to navigate.
A first-time homebuyer may be learning about financing, inspections, insurance, earnest money, title, surveys, appraisals, contract deadlines, closing costs, and dozens of other details all at once.
A knowledgeable real estate agent can help explain the real estate process, make sure important questions are being asked, and coordinate with the other professionals involved in the transaction.
The goal should be for the client to understand what they are doing and why, not simply sign whatever appears in their inbox next.
This is one question the clients in this video were not shy about answering.
Asked who they would contact if they were looking to sell or buy a home, multiple clients independently gave the same answer:
“Call Kelly!”
Another client said they would hire him “in a heartbeat.”
And one offered this advice:
“When you get serious and you actually want to start really looking, call Kelly.”
Those are client recommendations, not Hum Real Estate declaring that one agent is objectively the best fit for every person.
But recommendations like these are useful because they tell prospective clients something advertising alone cannot.
These are people who completed the process and would choose the same agent again.
Individual agent relationships matter enormously, but the common themes in these testimonials also reflect the type of client experience Hum Real Estate works to provide.
Clients in this video describe agents who are:
Those qualities matter whether someone is preparing to sell a Tallahassee property or starting a search for a home.
And they are much more useful when choosing an agent than simply asking who has the biggest advertisement.
