I was moving from South Florida to Gainesville as a first-time homebuyer and didn't have any local…read morereferrals, so I spent a lot of time researching realtors before finding Lisa Baltozer. From our first phone call, Lisa was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. She spent about an hour getting to know us, explaining the process, and answering all of our questions, and this was before we had even signed an agreement with her. She also took the time to explain the agreement itself so we understood what we were signing. Buying from out of town definitely had its challenges, but Lisa was very flexible with us. On our first trip to Gainesville, she packed our schedule with showings so we could see as many homes as possible and get a better idea of what we liked. We ended up finding the home we bought very quickly, and this was during one of the busiest times of year for Gainesville real estate. Something I really appreciated was Lisa's attention to detail when we toured homes. There were several times she noticed issues or pointed things out that weren't mentioned in the listing. Her experience was very obvious, and as first-time buyers, that was extremely helpful. She also walked us through the inspection and the rest of the buying process and was always quick to answer our questions. Even now, months after closing, we've reached out to her with questions about the house and she has still been willing to help. Since we were moving to an area where we didn't really know anyone, having someone we could trust throughout the process meant a lot to us. We're very grateful we found Lisa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the Gainesville area.

Michelle knows the downtown Gainesville residential real estate market better than anyone,…read moreespecially if you're looking for a house in Pleasant Street, Duckpond, it bed and breakfast neighborhoods. She's an encyclopedia of knowledge of housing information in those areas, including prices, past sales, buyer and seller information, schools, mortgage lenders, insurance agents, subcontractors, and everything else needed to do this job properly. She also operates her own historic rental properties and can take the perspective of the buyers and sellers whether they are first time home buyers or significant investors. I don't think she's here to give everyone a warm and fuzzy feeling. She's here to sell your house, or find a house for you as a buyer, or get your home rented. Shes actually very pleasant and professional, But she's personally annoyed me so much in the past that I've considered leaving flaming bags of dog poop on her front porch on several occasions. I've argued with her on several occasions about residential real estate, but have discovered if the argument is about housing prices, or houses on the market in those areas, she's been right. She stands her ground and won't be bullied. If she gives you a value of opinion for your house downtown you should probably listen to her. The last thing I will mention is how effective she is at getting everyone over the finish line. She does a great job of coordinating the buyers, sellers, appraiser, inspectors, lawyers, and everyone else involved. It's a really important part of the process.

She took the time to get to know me, what I was looking for and didn't waste time helping me find the place I can call home. She could tell within minutes of walking up to a property if it was worth a walk through or if we should move onto the next one. Philippa took the time to make sure I understood what to look for in a house as well as every part of the home buying process. When my initial offer didn't get accepted, she quickly negotiated details of my offer with the listing agent on a deal that worked out perfectly for everyone involved. If you want a realtor who knows what she's doing and can make anything in the home buying/selling process a breeze, Philippa is the best.

We told him some homes we were interested in and he brought other great candidates -- he took us through all of them, but we just could not find something in our budget. My wife and I thought we would have to wait a few months until something else came in the market, but maybe a week or two went by and Steven found a new build that was almost completed -- it was not even listed on any of the big websites (Zillow, etc.). He negotiated our home at our budget and even got the closing costs to be COMPLETELY covered -- we were actually paid a large sum of money at closing when we got the home with NO money out of pocket. This man was on top of everything -- he was an amazing asset to this process. My wife and I felt confident and well informed. In the midst of the home buying process, my wife had our first baby and Steven sent us a card and gift card for our baby -- he didn't need to do that, but he is is a good man. He even gave us a custom made house warming gift that we absolutely love! If you want a great realtor who will do the hard work and help you get what you want, Steven is the man. He is on your side and will make sure you are well taken care of. We are absolutely going back to him in the future, assuming we stay in the greater Orlando area.

We purchased a house in high Springs that this real estate had listed and they did not disclose the…read morecorrect property acreage. We were told about a week before the closing or so that we needed to have a survey done which cost quite a bit of money as it was last minute and we needed it done right away. After the survey was done we found out the property, instead of being 3 1/2 acres, was only 2.7 acres and we only had as I stated three days before the closing so we had no other recourse but to go ahead with the deal because we had no place to go we were pretty much forced into buying this house because otherwise we would not have had any place to live. They advertised it as 3 1/2 acres and they were incorrect. we were offered the property for 10,000 less but that in no way was enough considering it was almost an acre less than they advertised. I feel this real estate is responsible for all the stress and loss we suffered! Would never recommend. They did NOT do their job in listing the correct information!
