We lived a few hours away so without easy access to the home we wanted we really depended on him to handle the on-site stuff for us and he did so with great attention to detail. When it came time to make an offer he was also able to save us a ton of money by helping us negotiate a great price. If I ever have to buy or sell a home in an area where Steven is available there is no question that he would be the right person to contact. I really can't recommend Steven enough to anyone looking for a real-estate agent who will listen, be proactive, and provide guidance before, during, and after purchasing your new home.

Where do I begin with Laurentiu Stanica? As a first time home buyer from out of state, I was…read moreanxious about the process and truly did not know where to start. After finding Laurentiu, every worry I had was at ease. He went over and above to properly guide me, every step of the way. I felt very taken care of, never on the back burner. He was organized, detailed-oriented, and a great listener! To elaborate: Laurentiu is a genuine, passionate individual who absolutely loves what he does, and that translates through his contagious positive energy. If you've met him, you know exactly what I'm talking about. He was authentically excited for me to find a place that I loved, and did everything in his power to make sure I was getting exactly what I set out for. He is not coercive or pushy; he is eager, upbeat, and helpful! Laurentiu did not hesitate to answer calls, have spontaneous meetings, give recommendations, and even helped welcome me to my new neighborhood! As a native New Yorker who is always in a rush, I was beyond satisfied with how quickly he was able to get things done, and quite smoothly. Laurentiu was the key element in purchasing my very first home in my dream, storybook neighborhood! Not just any realtor, but a driven, knowledgable life-long friend!

When I think of Kathleen Carlson and Imagination Realty, the word "serendipity" comes immediately…read moreto mind. It was serendipitous that my husband and I decided to visit Celebration 20 years ago on one of our bi-annual Disney Vacation Club trips. After eating at Columbia Restaurant, we took a stroll around the town imagining what it would be like to live there. We were in our late 30s/early 40s, living in PA and Celebration seemed like an impossible dream for two people just building their careers. We stopped for a bit to drool over the real estate listings in Imagination Realty's window. A friendly voice behind us introduced herself as Kathleen Carlson. Her smile was bright and infectious; her voice melodious (reminiscent of a Disney Princess). We had much to chat about as Kathleen had once lived in our neck of the woods. It was a chance meeting, but one that would forge a 20-year "stay-in-touch" friendship. Every now and then we would reach out to her, or she would reach out to us. A few times, we would combine our DVC trips with a half day of house hunting in Celebration. But it was never the "right" moment: careers, illnesses, family ties, births, deaths, economics...something always got in the way of making our Celebration dream a reality. Fast forward to early September of 2022: my cell phone rang, and I saw Imagination Realty on the screen. I picked up and Kathleen talked excitedly for about 2 minutes non-stop. My only reply was "hang on a sec; I have to get John on the line so you can repeat everything you just said. She laughed and then happily repeated herself when John was on. Bottom line: there was a house available that checked all our boxes. Were we still interested in Celebration? Serendipity struck again as 3 days later we were booked for a long weekend in FL. (Admittedly, it had been 2.5 years since we traveled ANYWHERE, thanks to Covid so we were desperate to go SOMEWHERE and this seemed like a good excuse.) I remember thinking that even if we didn't like the house, at least we could enjoy being somewhere other than our own back yard. We saw 4 houses in Celebration during our first afternoon and serendipity had us both zero in on only one of them (an amazing feat for 2 people who are generally split on everything!). We asked to see it again the next evening. Kathleen met us there with a bottle of wine and 4 glasses (for the seller's realtor and us). She and the other realtor settled on the front porch with a glass of wine while we explored the house on our own and imagined living there. (Where would we put the piano? This rug has to go! Look - a wine fridge!) After a bit we joined them on the porch. Before too long, the owner came home and joined us out there as well. Serendipitously we ended up chatting like old friends until after 11 PM! It felt like home. After a side trip to St Augustine (to see another house just for the heck of it), we made an offer on the Celebration home. In short order it got accepted and closing was scheduled for the end of September (serendipity struck again as we had already planned a trip to FL that week and had one day scheduled as "free" - i.e. no park tickets). Kathleen and her team expertly and cheerfully helped us through each phase of the experience and it was a great comfort to us knowing they had our backs. (Kathleen even found the PERFECT realtor in PA for us who - serendipitously - happened to be a neighbor who sold our hme in 3 showings.) We moved into our new home the weekend before Thanksgiving - amazing since just 2 months prior moving wasn't even on our radar! But having true professionals like those at Imagination Realty working with us made all the difference - Kathleen was a great sounding board for us, and her team was able to answer every one of our questions. Almost 3 months in now, we love it here in Celebration and we are pleased that Kathleen had the imagination needed to get us here!

I called her when we were ready to sell and she came out to our home and explained how the process worked, She was warm and friendly and listened to what we had to say.

After 6 viewings we had 4 offers and our home was sold in less then 10 days! Vanessa kept in contact with us regularly while the next phase was in process all the way up to closing.
