In an area where many realtors are working part-time and do not care, Tara was available full time many times after hours when It became urgent. We were more difficult as we were 2hr time behind her. Tara was there for us every step of the way. When the bank didn't close on time, we were already traveling out, we were tired and hotels were booked and costly, Tara helped us find a wonderful place to stay. We could not have found such a dreamy beach house without Tara! Tara Rocks!!!! We consider her part of our family. P.S Sandra rocks as well, and brings an engineering background and years of expertise.

We planned to interview multiple agents, but after meeting her, we immediately knew she was the right choice. Selling a home can be stressful, but Laurie made the process so much easier. She was always responsive, explained everything clearly, and was a steady, reassuring presence throughout. Thanks to her expertise, we received an offer within 24 hours of listing. I can't say enough great things about Laurie. She's knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

We actually had a great time finding the house we bought Nicole too is the consummate professional. Passionate about both buyers and sellers.

Everything from his descriptive listings, his photographs, the negotiations and finally the closing were all done in such a professional and exemplary manner that it eliminated all anxiety for us. Terry was tech savvy, gave great advice and handled all aspects of the transaction including inspections, appraisals, walkthroughs, pre-closing and the closing. He made sure all of the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed. To have an honest, truthful real estate agent is a blessing in these transactions and Terry provided that honesty. The level of personalized service from Terry made a huge difference as we navigated the selling process and this sets him apart as a true professional. He was available for any and all questions and concerns we had 7 days a week, night and day. We recommend Terry not only for his professionalism, but also for his kindness and thoughtfulness. Our decision to sell was based on family health issues and his concern was heartfelt and sincere.

Worst real estate company. I was helping my mother-in-law purchase her dream home in Florida…read more Unfortunately, the agent we used ( Angie Moulton) was not in it for us. She was all for the seller, very pushy and quite frankly rude. I would never recommend her to anyone not even my enemy. She threatened that the seller was going to walk away from a deal if we didn't reply within hours of her correspondence. She will not respect your rights nor law and will not keep her promises, she lies to the clients and on top of that, she has made so many professional mistakes in our case. She wasn't able to answer any question unless she's on the conference call with her broker Kathy Damewood who is also a sellers agent. And Kathy Damewood is even worse, she was not even supposed to have any conversation with us as she represented seller. I will take this further to National Association of Realtors for violating code of ethics. I will also file a complaint with Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Please do your research prior to dealing with this real estate agency.

We needed a house sight unseen and were living in Seattle. We found a house online that we wanted but couldn't get there to see it. We contacted Amy and she was able to make the appointment the next day and give us a full video walk through of the home. She talked to neighbors and researched all of our criteria. We spent hours night and day on making sure the transition was seamless for us. You can't find another Realtor that will work harder for you. She has been in this business over 30 years and knows her stuff! Thank you Amy! You get every praise from us!

We were purchasing a home in Florida while still residing in NY. In the beginning Stan Colwell…read moreseemed very knowledgeable. Everything came to a head when we were selling the home and realized just how much Stan Colwell did NOT do for us that he was supposed to do. We put down a $10,000 deposit. We were told by another Florida realtor it was excessive and they have never heard of such a thing. I explained our credit wasn't the best and we were still told it doesn't matter - the deposit was excessive. We were told by Stan Colwell not to make a lower offer because we will "insult" the seller. The other Florida realtor said they have never heard of such a thing. We could have offered lower and it may have been accepted. Stan Colwell never showed up for the home inspection. This other realtor was appalled by this and firmly stated the realtor should always be at the home inspection. When we were selling not only was our selling realtor there but the buyers realtor and the buyers were there. I was stunned! Stan Colwell recommended a home inspector they use (SWF) who did a horrible job and even missed a broken beam which was found when we were selling. There was a garage conversion which Stan never bothered to check and see if the proper permits were obtained. We flew to Florida in November over Thanksgiving to see the property we had under contract. Stan said he was busy but would try and make time to meet us at the house!!! When he made time it was about twenty minutes and he made this very clear. My parents met Stans wife Lori at the home and she was less then pleasant to deal with. The list goes on and on. If you want someone to do the bare minimum then Stan Colwell is the realtor for you. Do your homework. Check reviews and amount of business the realtor does.
