What do Clients Say?

Rachel Sartain Tenpenny was such a huge help for us in a time of need. We were a family of four and needed to move into a new home while our old home was being renovated. We had very specific needs, and Rachel met them all. It was an ideal location, price, and size. She has such great knowledge of the area, and is clearly focused on providing what her clients want. She made a stressful time so much easier. Thanks, Rachel!

Rachel is amazing. She went out of her way to help me prepare for and stage my house to get top dollar for it. She knows the business and was able to keep me calm during a stressful closing period. She's one of a kind and the real estate agent and broker you want!

Rachel was our realtor and did an amazing job finding our home. We truly believe we never would have gotten the home if she wasn’t our realtor. We had been searching for three years, and every time we found a home, it became a bidding war on day one. I refused to pay way over the asking price and in all cash, so we lost many opportunities. Then we met Rachel. She found us a home, and once again, we faced a bidding war. This time, Rachel recommended we put in a backup offer after losing the initial bidding war. We were the only ones who did this, and when the initial buyer didn't come through, we got the home—even though we weren’t even the top two offers. We owe this all to Rachel, who also provided us with all the contacts needed to help remodel the home, as we knew no one. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Rachel.

Great job by this group. Very professional. I couldn’t get it sold by the agent handling and I hired Rachel and she immediately had us do some key changes and boom three weeks later we had a good offer. Would highly recommend to get your home sold fast.

About Rachel

Rachel Sartain Tenpenny is a highly respected luxury Realtor in St. Petersburg, FL, recognized for her intelligence, integrity, and exceptional results. As the Founder and Broker of The Tenpenny Collection, she leads a boutique brokerage that redefines what luxury means in Tampa Bay because she believes luxury is not a price point; it’s a level of service.

A lifelong student of real estate, Rachel grew up in a real estate family and earned her license in 2002 while completing her Master of Science at the University of Florida. Frustrated by poor communication from local Realtors, she decided to raise the bar. At six months pregnant and finishing her thesis, she earned her license and quickly became the #1 agent in her office, proof of her determination and drive.

In 2009, during the financial crisis, Rachel was recruited to open Keller Williams Realty’s first downtown St. Petersburg office. Despite no prior management experience, she led the new brokerage to become the city’s #1 office in sales volume within 18 months, a ranking it maintained for more than a decade. Over her career, she has managed more than 500 Realtors and overseen over $1 billion in annual real estate transactions, earning a reputation as one of Tampa Bay’s top real estate leaders.

Rachel’s clients describe her as “brilliantly strategic,” “calm under pressure,” and “the reason my home sold when no one else could.” One seller shared, “She treated my storm-damaged house with the same care as a million-dollar listing.” Another wrote, “We never would have gotten our dream home if Rachel hadn’t guided us through a bidding war with her backup-offer strategy.”

In 2023, Rachel founded The Tenpenny Collection to elevate the standards of leadership, education, and customer care in luxury real estate. Her firm specializes in waterfront homes, luxury estates, and high-end condominiums throughout St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the Gulf Coast.
