I could not speak more highly of Ben Coughanour and his Mangrove Bay Realty team. My home search and purchase had a few layers of complexity, but Ben and his team handled it with ease and helped me buy my first home! They always advocated for me in negotiations and were extremely patient throughout the process. Highly recommend Mangrove Bay Realty for anyone looking to purchase property in the Tampa Bay area.

It is a tough market and a brutal economy. You need Ben Coughanour. Part therapist, part building inspector and part educator, Ben brings an upbeat, problem-solving approach to help guide you through an otherwise daunting and difficult process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our home in Pinellas Park!
