Philippa is AMAZING. As a first time homebuyer looking for a house during one of the craziest…read moretimes, Philippa was extremely helpful and more importantly brutally honest in the best way possible. 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.

Horrible.

My 86 year old grandma and sister(with little kids that are in car seats) vehicles were towed from this lot, yet at the same time, multiple other cars were parked in the exact same area and were not towed. But they were able to stay. There did not appear to be any consistent enforcement of the parking/towing rules, which felt unfair and selective. If towing is going to be enforced, it should be applied equally to all vehicles, not just a few. Also better towing signage should be better visible. It's not fair that they had to pay $400 plus dollars to get their car back and others could stay parked in that parking lot. I would not recommend doing business with these companies or property management companies. They aren't family friendly. They didn't have the decency to come ask us to move the car first.

He was extremely friendly which helped alleviate some of my anxiety, and he knew a lot about the area so I felt informed when I left. If you're looking to buy/sell a new home, I'd recommend at least giving them a try.

She is incredibly professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and always knows exactly what needs to be done. Most recently, she helped us rent both my parents' home and my brother's home, and the entire process was seamless. She knew exactly how to position the properties, what strategy to use, and how to get the right tenants in quickly. Both homes were rented in no time! I was also extremely impressed with how thorough she was throughout the application and background-check process. She made sure everything was properly vetted and kept us informed every step of the way. After working with Brittnee for three years, I can confidently say that when it comes to real estate, she's the person I trust and recommend. She consistently goes above and beyond, and I'm so grateful to have her in my corner!

Amazing Realtor!! I found April Green from diligent research…read morethrough Google, Yelp and Rate My Agent. All the reviews were so complimentary I was intrigued. Before I chose my realtor I interviewed 4 different people/real estate companies. I chose April because she listened, she was realistic about the value vs. current real estate market, and she seemed eager to get the listing and I took a leap of faith. I'm so glad I chose her. Her attention to detail through out the process was fantastic. She gave me step by step advise and support. She advocated well during negotiations and went above and beyond any realtor I have ever worked with. If I am ever in the market for property again in the Sarasota/ Bradenton area, I wouldn't hesitate to use April. 100% worth every penny.

I have already filed official complaints with the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) and the Florida Attorney General's Office. I'm sharing this to help other buyers be cautious when dealing with this company.

It wasn't just about a transaction. If she didn't know something, she would go and find out. And she was honest about it. Her genuine concern to have us find what we're looking for really shone. We actually lost out on our first offer and were pretty bummed. Immediately the next morning the first email I saw was from Yvette with a new listing that met our needs and was about $100k less than the first one. She made time to go see the home with us at a moments notice knowing our time was limited. And our offer was accepted. Even after closing she made sure our issues were addressed. I'd highly recommend Yvette and team to anyone looking to purchase or sell.

He is professional, precise, knowledgeable and communication felt like I was the only client he had. Him and Rob came out and assisted with staging of our home. Their eye for design is without question on point. A lot of real Eatate agents have no idea about design and really don't understand their clients. Aaron is amazing with understanding what matters to his specific client the most. He listens and pretty sure he never stops working. He works hard for his clients to get them the best deal. He sold our house at the price higher than we listed for. Most agents wanted to list our house for 20k below what we were wanting to list, aaron and rob rolled with it and made it happen over asking. They stayed with us every step of the way and more than professional assistance, they assisted like a friend. They really cared and gave their honest opinions. Lord knows I'm not the easiest to work with but the patience his team had was outstanding. Josh who is another agent on the team was out of this world as well, everyone who Aaron surrounds himself with is top notch. I can't imagine anyone else assisting with our home selling process. Not to mention they were the agents for the buying of our new home- which we got under listing, in this market!!! Hire Aaron, you will not be disappointed.
