“Stephanie took care of everything and made the process of selling my first home a breeze. She was very professional and made herself available when I needed something. She went out of her way to keep my house in the front of the market and walked me through every step. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to seek their home.”
“Valentina set my expectations of the sale from the very beginning. She brought me along every step of the way and was knowledgeable about the process. Even through the delay, which was on the sellers side, she was persistent in her communication and advocating for our inconvenience. Thank you!”
“My mother and I were extremely fortunate to have David Lovitch as our realtor! Even though the market was very slow and our house had been on the market for 4 months with another realtor, David and his team used their wisdom and experience to close on a deal in only a few weeks! David listened to our priorities and effectively took action with them in mind. The team was amazing at processing the sale, making it a stress-free experience! I highly recommend David Lovitch and his team to anyone looking to sell a home in the area! We could not have been more satisfied.”
“The agent, Patricia, was professional, energetic, and empathetic to my needs. She went the extra mile to make sure I had the place that was right and then made sure all details were taken care of, so I could move in without worry.”
“Trustworthy, professional, supportive in an emotional time. Managed expectations, good communication.”
“Larry was by far the best realtor I've worked with. I've met with a few in the past and he takes the cake. He made looking for a house feel like a fun experience instead of a cut and dry transaction. And the number of resources he had at his fingertips. I had a question/inpection request, he knew a person. I was really impressed. I am always bragging about the team I had in getting me into my house, with Larry being the ring leader.”
“Paula Mcconahay was very patient with us. She made sure that she was able to make time for us, even when we would keep adding houses to our list of possibles. Paula was very attentive to what we were looking for, and her input on the houses we looked at was extremely helpful. I could not be happier of Paula being reccommended to us.”
“Luis exceeded all of my expectations. I've never purchased a home before, so I was quite nervous about the process. However, Luis made all of my anxieties disappear like a magician. He took the time to answer all of our questions and always had a thorough answe. It also felt like he always prioritized getting back to us when we reached out for anything. He was more than prepared for our trips out to see houses, doing research before hand. Throughout the entire process, he was prompt and helped move the process along. We didn't feel rushed either. He was clear in his communication, especially when he needed something from us. I could write a novel about how wonderful it was to work with Luis. I plan to make sure his name is well known in my network for any real estate needs. Thank you for making our dreams come true, Luis! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Andy was amazing from start to finish. His communication made the frustrating times easy throughout the process and he was a great realtor.”
“Yandy Estrada was an excellent choice for us to help us buy our house, he helped and guided us every step of the way. Their trust and professionalism made every step of this adventure very easy. Definitely in our next investment I would choose Yandy Estrada and Rosa Leon again.”
“The realtor was excellent. Brian Hollenbeck went above and beyond. I was really impressed with all aspects of the process, thanks to Brian.”

Anyone engaging Lottie Creech to assist them will be thankful they did.”
“Please see the previous comments. Tiffany is the best and truly world class! Tiffany was so wonderful to work with. She knew everything we needed and led us through a very unusual market with results beyond our expectations! We would not have trusted anyone else and she was gracious and kind even when we may not have been. We have referred our friends to work with her, she is the best. Grateful to her and the team.”

“Maryann is the best realtor you can find in the whole state of Florida. She answers your calls and test almost instantly. She is very knowledgeable in the real estate business. She is a very honest and trustable person. When you looking for a property she would not go be hide your back and purchase the home like majority realtor, I have ran across. When she list your home; she will maximize your price in the market. Most realtor would sell your property to just to make a quick buck not Maryann. Don’t waste your time with other realtor if you want your buying and selling experience to be the best and elite Maryann is the person to go to.”
