Dustan was the ideal partner to me in my home buying journey and made the entire process fun and easy to navigate. Dustan listens, cares about his clients and has a calming manner that helped me not just with my home purchase but also with my relocation from out of state to the Key West area. Dustan’s energy, knowledge, and passion that he brings to his work are complimented by his detail focused organizational skills and incredible work ethic which make him a consistent and reliable shepherd through the process. His patient demeaner paired with his caring nature gave me assurance in this otherwise stressful home purchase and I am thankful to have had him on my team. I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else! Dustan was always available day or night which was critical to the process, helpful, and always answered all my questions. The responsive communication extended to the staff at Knight & Gardner Realty which made for an efficient and smooth home purchase. Dustan’s commitment and confidence in seeing me successful in this home purchase was demonstrated every step along the way and he was always honest and realistic when advising me. I feel fortunate to have found Dustan as his level of service and personal attention was not diminished by the lower budget that I was working with. At all times I felt that he was my advocate, and he negotiated a purchase price that I was comfortable with. Dustan went above and beyond, keeping me on track and apprised of the next steps necessary to close within the timeline that I was working in. His support through to closing was vital, helping me coordinate and anticipate last minute details that arose. As a professional and experienced real estate agent, Dustan displayed important qualities of honesty, integrity, and a diligent work ethic that I very much respect and appreciate. I would highly recommend Dustan to help you find your new home here in the beautiful Florida Keys!

I would highly recommend Berkshire Hathaway and Dustan. Professional, knowledgeable of the area and quirks, friendly and efficient. Dustan streamlined the process and made us feel at ease. We always knew he had our best interests at heart. He made himself available for any questions or concerns. It can be quite stressful to sell a home-Dustan took much of the stress away. Thank you so much!

My experience with Dustan Carpenter, the realtor who facilitated my purchase of a home in Key West, Florida, is the best realtor experience I have ever had –- and this is after purchasing seven homes, all over the world. Dustan‘s ability to listen and comprehend what I communicated to him in terms of my wants and needs was remarkable. For example, after the first day of showing four houses, Dustan dropped two houses from the next days schedule because he knew those properties did not fit my needs. I have had other brokers do the opposite — in the hopes that I might change my mind, or that some (but not all) of the prospective properties answered my preferences, or that I might be beguiled by something quite different from my original thinking on the house I wanted. The process of actually purchasing the house and negotiating the contract price with the sellers was an anguished one. For reasons beyond Dustan‘s control, there were a variety of serious hiccups that threatened the deal. Dustan remained calm and reassuring throughout, including fielding emails and text messages at 3:30 AM. Other realtors could’ve easily said, “This can wait until the morning,“ but Dustan knew the interpersonal dynamics on our side (buyers) of the deal and, with great sensitivity, made sure that communications were orderly and fast, and most important, calm and objective. Dustan‘s follow-up was equally remarkable. There were several items in the house that I really wanted to buy and Dustan ensured that I received these pieces, going way beyond the call of duty in asking the right people and paving the way to my securing these momentos that I will cherish forever. Throughout the whole process, Dustan remained cheerful, positive, optimistic, and provided a steadying hand to what would have been an extremely rocky purchase process.

Professional and incredibly dedicated. He answered the phone every time I called (despite the hour, sorry Dustan). He had only my best interests in mind. Every question answered and explained. He really is a pleasure to work with. Thank you
