Jodenny Ogando

I recently completed one of the most challenging real estate transitions of my life, and I can say without hesitation that working with Jodenny Ogando and Luis Lozano Padierna of Home1st Lending LLC transformed a stressful, time-sensitive situation into a smooth and successful experience.

After my first attempt to sell my South Florida home failed—an entire year on the market with no progress—I abandoned the idea of moving to Central Florida. Months later, I tried again, and within three weeks I had an offer. That left me with 3–5 weeks to find a new home in an area I had only visited once. I had worked with another agent previously, and the experience was below average, so I reached out to Jodenny.

From the moment he answered his phone personally and listened—without interrupting—to my complicated situation, I knew I had found the right professional. He immediately set up automated searches, but what truly set him apart was his initiative: whenever I identified a home I liked, he drove to the property, recorded detailed videos, and evaluated every single feature I cared about. No shortcuts, no glossing over details—just honest, thorough, boots-on-the-ground work.

When it was time for me to visit, he had 12 homes organized, complete with printed packets, a clipboard for notes, and a perfectly structured schedule. He stayed with me the entire time, adjusted when my daughter needed a break, and even secured additional showings on the spot. In just a day and a half, I saw everything I needed to make a confident decision.

Once my offer was accepted, the financing timeline threatened to leave me without housing for over a week. That’s when Luis Lozano Padierna stepped in. He worked tirelessly—truly moving heaven and earth—to accelerate the financing and coordinate with the title company. Thanks to his dedication, my closing was moved two weeks earlier, saving me hundreds of dollars in hotel and storage costs. The virtual closing was seamless and required almost no effort from me.

Even after closing, Jodenny continued to support me. Every concern I raised was addressed immediately. And four weeks later, he visited (after texting first) with a thoughtful housewarming gift: a Ring Doorbell, just like the one I had at my previous home.

Jodenny is not just an exceptional realtor—he is a broker, a financial guide, and a genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and dependable professional. Luis is equally outstanding, delivering financing expertise at a level that directly changed my outcome for the better.

If you are moving to Central Florida and need someone who will listen, act, advocate, and deliver, I cannot recommend Jodenny Ogando, Luis Lozano Padierna, and the wonderful team at Z Title Group strongly enough. They turned a stressful, complicated move into a remarkably positive experience. Truly a blessing.

Chanel Harris is a great real estate agent in the state of Florida. She has an expertise for central Orlando area. I highly recommend her because she is professional, genuine, compassionate, knowledgeable, and committed to what she does. She helped me get into a great property for the price I needed, one that checked all the boxes I desired. No matter the obstacles and challenges we faced that come with home buying, Chanel found solutions and followed through until we closed. Even now if I need anything I know that I can call her and she can advise or assist with questions and concerns. This move has changed my life in the best ways possible I’m so happy she helped me along this journey and we got it done!! Highly recommend!

Agh what went from a nightmare, turned into a dream! Chanel is the best realtor in Orlando, hands down! She made my home sale a breeze! Professional, thorough, responsive, communicative, kind, knowledgeable—all her attributes and those I need in the person I’m trusting to help me get to my next chapter. She was not afraid to get in, roll up her sleeves, and help get the home ready and the sale across the line. I went from potential foreclosure to qualified home sale in less than 30 days! Thank you for everything Chanel!

From the very first time we communicated, Jodenny was incredibly educational and helpful with everything. As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous, but he truly went above and beyond, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. He’s almost always available, super responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

We recently purchased a house in Winter Park and could not have been happier with the services of our realtor, JoDenny Abando. JoDenny was everything you could want in a realtor: knowledgeable, prompt, professional and proactive! He showed us numerous properties and always offered to find more that met our interests yet never tried to redirect or upsell us. He was highly attentive to our needs and respectful of our wishes. He even dealt patiently with my elderly in-laws! Additionally, he was transparent and honest in every interaction. I would absolutely recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever.
