Buyer & seller review

Knowledge of Celebration without compare.

“Kathleen Carlson and her team are A++. Kathleen sold my parents house and guided them through the process of buying another home, they were very happy with their experience and recommended her to us. When we contacted her about selling our home, her ability to explain her vision and strategy to sell our house quickly convinced us she was indeed the right person for the job. Kathleen walked us through the offers we received and once we were under contract she was very engaged throughout the journey from going under contract until closing. She personally saved our deal from falling through on more than one occasion. Kathleen also guided us through the process of buying a new home. Her knowledge of all things regarding real estate, especially in Celebration, was invaluable and without compare. We will definitely recommend Kathleen to all our family and friends!!”

Buyer review

A memorable transition into Celebration.

“Whatever I say about Imagination Realty, Kathleen Carlson, Ann and the rest of the team could never sufficiently express our gratitude. The Imagination team is comprised of the most professional and courteous individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting. They are constantly thinking outside the box to resolve whatever issue may arise. Kathleen set the pace from the first home she showed us until the day of closing; she made each step of the way seem easy, as she created that wonderful anticipation one gets when one is purchasing a new home. She made our transition into Celebration a memorable one. Thanks to Kathleen and her team, we are now enjoying our beautiful, forever home in the most magical place in the world. Thank you, Kathleen!”
