When we decided to purchase a second home on the coast we talked to a few realtors and none of them…read morewere really 'listening' to what we were looking for. Out of frustration, I put a posting on the local FB page and received several responses from a lot of realtors. Matt Miller was one of them that responded.. He went above and beyond listening to what we were looking for and then within a few hours he had 8 listings for us to look at the following day. He spent all day with us and we decided to make an offer on one of the homes.. Offer accepted, escrow opened, things were going smoothly, until... we hit a brick wall at full speed.. without boring you with the details we decided that the best thing to do was to cancel our off and contract.. Matt helped use with the cancellations and back to square one. Another property had come on the market but we had already left the area. Matt offered to go over to the house, FaceTime us and we ended up making an offer. Offer accepted and again we are in escrow.. There was a short time to get all the inspections done and being out of state buyers we were not able to be there.. Matt was absolutely wonderful! He took care of making appointments, being there for inspections, giving us updates. Very professional! Not only was Matt there for us during the sale but he's also been there after the sale, which we have really appreciated. We highly recommend Matt Miller if you are considering buying or selling real estate in the New Smyrna Beach Area.

Charles recently helped me buy a home in at the Esplanade, Florida. This was my first time buying a…read morehome, and Charles' expertise and advice was invaluable. He was very patient and helpful, and maintained great communication throughout the entire process. The listing agent was not such a pleasure to work with. Among other things, she left the property strewn with junk, including some very large pieces. This was against the contract terms, but suing would have been a huge hassle. Instead, Charles volunteered to rent a truck and haul it off himself, including hauling off what seemed to be an old heating oil tank which must have weighed about 300 lbs. He went above and beyond. Can't recommend him enough.

Extremely Disappointed with Professionalism and Conduct…read more I recently completed a real estate transaction where Bethanne acted as the seller's agent, and I feel compelled to share my experience to help future buyers proceed with caution. At first glance, the property listing appeared comprehensive and professionally prepared, including a PDF and Word document outlining features such as appliances, televisions, and unique fixtures. I submitted an offer, and after some standard negotiations, we arrived at an agreed price. Following the inspection, I raised a few critical issues that needed to be addressed for the deal to move forward. These included foundation repairs, attic ridge repair and insulation, termite bonding, and AC servicing due to the age of both units nearing end-of-life, all items based on unfavorable inspection report. I accepted the rest of the property as-is, despite several other major concerns such as deteriorating siding, a rotting deck and fence, and old AC systems. All of this was formally agreed upon and signed in the contract. However, the situation took a dramatic turn after the appraisal. I noticed a square footage discrepancy and, as a buyer, exercised my right to challenge the appraisal. When the report came back below the contract price, Bethanne's reaction was not only unprofessional, it was shocking. She called my loan officer on a recorded line, berated her, and questioned her competence despite my loan officer's 25+ years of experience in the field. She had to explain, repeatedly, that appraisers are third-party professionals who operate independently from the bank, buyer, and seller, something any experienced realtor should fully understand. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Bethanne made baseless accusations against my loan officer, including claiming she had written negative reviews about her (with no evidence), and even escalated the matter to her leadership at the bank. She then took it a step further by contacting the CEO of my lending institution, causing further unnecessary disruption and tension. Towards the end of the transaction, Bethanne began to walk back on several agreed-upon repairs, including the attic repair, insulation, and termite bond, which had been signed off in the contract. This forced my own realtor to step in and cover these costs, sacrificing over $5,000 of her commission just to keep the deal moving forward and preserve professionalism. That kind of integrity stood in stark contrast to what I experienced from the seller's side. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop at closing. Upon receiving the keys, several items that had been clearly listed as part of the home's features were missing. These included: (1) The backyard fountain, referenced multiple times in the listing, (2) A professionally installed Sony TV (interior), (3) Sony TV mounted on the back deck ceiling, (4) An antique whale weathervane, described in the listing as professionally installed, (5) An antique oak medicine cabinet, (6) A reproduction Chippendale mirror in the half bath. My realtor attempted to contact Bethanne to recover these items, but we received no response. In summary, my experience with Bethanne was extremely disappointing. Her behavior throughout the process was unprofessional, combative, and unnecessarily disruptive. Rather than facilitate a smooth and respectful transaction, she actively made it more difficult, ultimately costing others both time and money. I would strongly advise anyone considering working with her, whether you're buying or selling, to proceed with caution. I write this review not out of spite, but in hopes of saving someone else from the stress, confusion, and financial setbacks I experienced over the course of six exhausting weeks.

We contacted a few Orlando agents and Metro City (Beatrice Miranda) was BY FAR the most responsive and engaged.

For those that don't know, 407 is a sister company to Central Florida Property Management, which is…read moreanother fantastic firm. Both are headed up by Steve Simpson, but I will focus my discussion on my realtor, Peggy, whom was fantastic throughout the process of selling my rental property. Offering a wealth of knowledge and skill, she did a fantastic job of diligently working with me to explain every step of the way, without being overbearing or pressuring me. She advised me on the best time to sell my property, kept me apprised of the costs throughout the process (effectively my biggest concern), discarded offers that were unreasonably low and not worth my time, and persistent for a good 3 months before we finally found a buyer at a price point that hit about 90% of my criteria. Thanks to 407 and Peggy's hard work, we were able to be alleviated of the credit burden an unwanted investment property brings and we left the sale with enough money to put towards a home that's just for us! I would strongly recommend them if you are either in the market for a highly competent property manager or a seller's agent.
