Who We Are Keith and Howard started Round Table Realty in 2010 after a career in new construction sales. While interviewing with several brokerages in town, they both came away feeling like the industry had lost its heart. Getting the sale seemed more important than serving clients. So they took a leap of faith and started their own brokerage with one mission in mind - putting People Before Property. They call it heart-first realty.
And that just seems like the way it should be, doesn't it?

Steve Henrickson Born in Florence, Alabama, Steve Henrickson proudly graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Operations Management. Perhaps more importantly, he attended Auburn when Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley, and Frank Thomas were there! After twelve years of working in the corporate world for companies like American Express and Merrill Lynch, he met a Real Estate broker while volunteering at the polls during election season in 2004. She persuaded him to consider a career in Real Estate because it required so many of the same skills he was already accustomed to using! He decided to take the leap. The market was on fire and he had to learn quickly and sometimes on the fly. Of course, when the market crashed several years later, he adopted an entirely new set of skills. His somewhat sudden career change followed by so many market fluctuations equips him to understand and respond to people in a great variety of situations. Steve truly appreciates the opportunity to have relationships with his customers. He always says that he treats people the way he would want someone to treat his daughter. His passion is knowing his clients leave the closing table with exactly what they wanted. He often continue friendships with clients and feels great joy when he can find other ways to serve them years later, like hooking them up with job opportunities or investments. When he isn't working, he loves spending time with his wife, Gretchen, and their blended family of 7 (not including Snickers the Labradoodle). Steve enjoys running, woodworking, and even building furniture. A patriotic man, Steve often frames American flags and blue line flags for his clients at every closing.

OurBuyers
90% of people in the market for a new home use the internet to search for the perfect place!
Round Table Realty Realtors can save you time by improving your internet searches so you aren't pouring over listing details that all begin to look the same.
What the internet can't do is tell you when a home smells musty, when an electrical panel needs to be replaced, whether the finishings were properly installed, and when evidence of a past water leak can be found under the guest bathroom sink. Our Realtors are not home inspectors, but they can give you visual clues as to the health of a home before you put in an offer.

OurBuyers Lending Partnerships In most cases, you should begin to secure financing before you even start home-shopping! Luckily, we've spent years building relationships with lenders who believe the client comes first. We can lead you in the right direction.
Insurance Partnerships Did you know home owners insurance alone doesn't cover flood damage? Did you know certain breeds of dogs aren't covered under a traditional policy, either? We work with the best of the best in the insurance world to ensure your home is covered long after we close.
We Hold Escrow People Before Property means holding your binder (the money you put down when your purchase offer is accepted). Should the sale fall through, the seller could fight to keep that money. Holding your escrow means you have the option to get that money back for free via the state. No lawyers.

OurSellers Pricing your home Our Realtors will help you price your home according to market analysis. We want your home to sell at the right price for you.
Marketing How do buyers find homes? Online! So where should your home be available when you list it? Online! We are committed to getting your home shown on the most popular home-shopping websites. And depending on your home's individual needs, we have a lot of other tricks up our sleeve to ensure the word is out that your home is on the market.
OurSellers Listing Videos Some homes require special attention. Maybe they're unique, they've been on the market with another agency, or the sellers can't show the home as often as they'd like. We have the capability to create a digital, 2-minute narrated walk-through of your home to give potential buyers a sneak peak without making a physical visit.
OurSellers Professional Photography Every Round Table Realty home listing is professionally photographed and uploaded to the three major online home-browsing websites. A beautiful picture truly can sell a home.
Home Staging The better your home looks, the faster it sells. We have access to incredible home stagers (at affordable prices, too!) who will make your home look elegant, simple, and allow potential buyers to see themselves in it. We can even provide you a digital home staging with computer generated pictures as a less expensive alternative.

"Having sold two homes earlier in life and now needing to go to uncharted territory with a short-sale, my wife and I both found Steve to be a GREAT hand holder. He is extremely proficient in dealing with the multiple facets of short sales. We received an offer for more than we expected and were very happy with the entire process. I recommend Steve with my highest possible recommendation. THANK YOU STEVE!" -T.M. in Jacksonville "Steve worked with us for quite awhile trying to locate us the perfect home. He was Johnny-onthe-spot when I found something I wanted to see. We were very happy with his services. We now have the perfect home! I highly recommend him."

Steve is a consummate professional, and he knows the Duval and St. John's County markets very well. We were pretty picky, but he was always extremely patient and worked very hard to find a house that fit our needs, wants, and price point. I have personally recommended Steve to my friends, and I will continue to do so. You can consider yourself lucky if he is your Realtor." -Evan in St. Augustine, Florida
