Why Clients Love Working with Todd: Pinellas Buyer & Seller Reviews

Real stories from homeowners across St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, and Palm Harbor who bought or sold with Todd Howard, Realtor® at Charles Rutenberg Realty. Known for proactive communication, pricing to appraise, and smooth, low-stress closings.

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. Who you work with matters.

The clients you see here all had different goals. Some were selling longtime family homes. Others were relocating, downsizing, investing, or buying for the first time. What they had in common was the need for clarity, protection, and confidence.

My approach is simple:

Remove uncertainty.

Protect your value.

Create a smoother path from start to finish.

For sellers, that means:

• A pre-listing 4-Point inspection

• A professional appraisal before going live
