Welch Team - Keller Williams Realty

Our family is in the process of relocating to St. Johns County from the greater Atlanta area, and finding the right realtor was critical to our home buying journey. After researching local realtors, George Pottenkulam quickly stood out as one of the highest-rated professionals we found. After interviewing several realtors, it became clear that George was in a league of his own. George combines an exceptional knowledge of the local market with a deep understanding of individual builders, neighborhoods, amenities, and market trends. More importantly, his thoughtful, thorough qualification process helped him truly understand our family's needs and identify the right opportunities for us. This purchase marks the eighth home we have bought, and George is, without question, the best realtor we have ever worked with. His professionalism, market insight, attention to detail, and network of local resources set him apart. Relocating from Georgia to Florida involves navigating significant differences in home styles, square footage, lot sizes, communities, and amenities. That can be an overwhelming process, but George made it much easier by helping us understand the market, evaluate our options, and focus on the neighborhoods and homes that best fit our family. His knowledge of the area and the nuances of each community is truly impressive. As a Chief Revenue Officer, I understand how difficult it is to find exceptional sales professionals who consistently deliver at this level. George exemplifies what great sales and service look like: he listens, asks the right questions, builds trust, brings deep expertise, and puts his clients' needs first. If you are buying a home in St. Johns County or considering relocating to the area, I would strongly encourage you to start with George Pottenkulam. Whether you are new to the market or an experienced homebuyer, you will be hard pressed to find someone who brings a better combination of local knowledge, professionalism, and genuine commitment to his clients. Thank you, George, for your patience, professionalism, and guidance throughout this process. We are grateful to have you in our corner. And thank you to the entire Welch Team for your support!

Katie and her team were the best to work with during our home buying process. We moved across country and had our local realtor find us someone trustworthy since we would be doing the process from hundreds of miles away. She was able to find us a house being built and made sure to stay on top of everything while construction was happening. We appreciate the videos and pictures she sent us along the way and getting over the finish line just took a huge stressor off my shoulders. We highly recommend her team!!

We are so grateful to Laleña and the entire Welch Team for making our home-buying journey such a positive experience! From start to finish, Laleña was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions. As first-time homebuyers, there was so much to learn, and she took the time to educate us throughout every step of the process, making sure we felt confident and informed along the way. The Welch Team was equally amazing—responsive, encouraging, and truly invested in helping our family achieve our goal of homeownership. Their guidance, patience, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to walk alongside us during such an important milestone. Thank you, Laleña and the Welch Team, for all of your hard work, support, and expertise. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!

Just bought our very first home with the help of Laleña and Kathy. Before going in I expected it to be a long process of finding a home getting a loan etc. But these two were super responsive and helpful. Laleña was able to find us a home on our first few home tours. It was a smooth and easy process. If were to buy another home I’d trust no one else but the Welch team. I will be recommending them to anyone who wants to buy a home. Thanks Lelaña and Kathy!
