Tobias Halk
Agent
License Number: SL3498969
Unlike most people, I was lucky enough to be born in paradise. I’m a 7th generation Florida native who was born and raised in Sarasota. As a kid I couldn’t wait to get out of here, but after a few years living and traveling around the US I realized that there is nowhere in the world better than where I was from! Now I love to use my knowledge of my hometown to help people find their dream home. The look on a friend’s face (because my clients become my friends) when they find the right forever home makes all the work worth it. The only promises I will make is to work my hardest and always be honest with those I am lucky enough to work with. I live by the motto humans over houses and I would love to work with you.

Recommendations
To start right off, words don't do justice to convey just how amazing it was to have Toby be our realtor.
As first time home buyers, my wife and I were very overwhelmed by the shear amount of information and work that went into buying our first home in today's market. Toby made sure that we understood exactly what we were doing and helped educate us on how the whole process worked from the beginning all the way upto closing. Throughout the whole process he was always kind, caring, compassionate, and understanding of our families needs and desires; and he helped us find the perfect home that balanced all of our wants with our needs. Not only that, but he genuinely cared about our family and took the time to get to know each of us and our kids, and by the end of our journey he basically felt like family.
We can't recommend Toby enough if you're considering him to be your realtor!

Heather Paquette recommends Tobias Halk
We worked with Toby while purchasing a home in South Venice and could not be happier. He provided guidance with proper pricing and location and made sure that our final choice was the right now. His goal was to make sure that we found the right home for
us, no matter how long the process. He toured close to 20 homes for us, with no expectations or pressure. He recommended a lender, insurance, and coordinated all of the steps along the way. Please give him a call if you are looking to buy or sell, you will
not regret it.
Tobias was amazing in helping us find the perfect vacation house in Venice, FL. We live in Massachusetts, and Tobias found homes that fit our budget and visited each place while facetiming us so we could walk through the home with him. When we finally
found the perfect property Tobias arranged everything from home inspection to final closing documents. We truly could not have done it without his assistance, he is a real pro and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Sarasota County.
Best agent ever. Wished we hired Tobias when we sold 3 other rentals He sold our last rental for 20k over asking.
Everyone from Next Home Excellence are more than just friends they are family! Tobias has looked out for me like a brother since high school. He called me when we knew we were ready to buy our first home. We told him what we wanted, gave him our budget
& time frame and he made it all come together. We are all so greatful for how timely it was too!!! We love you Toby & NextHome Excellence!!!
My family and I started this journey in the early months of 2021, of home buying. Before we knew it we were submersed in the process and not having much luck I should add. Little bites here and there but no one that would go to battle for us… Until we
called a Tobias! I believe it’s his smarts, drive, and willingness to succeed at anything and everything he does , is what got us our home! Thank you, from my family to yours. Your expertise and knowledge placed us into a new chapter and I will forever be
grateful. Thank you, Tobias.
