Wonderful is the word that comes to mind with Pepine Realty! Betsey Pepne and her team are just…read morewonderful to work with. My Real Estate Agent was Chis Bien and WOW was he amazing! I met Chis through Zillow. I went to look at a condo and he mentioned that he was the listing agent on the property. Who knew that just by going to look at 1 property I would find myself one of the best Real Estate agents in Gainesville. Chris took amazing care of me from the first showing to the very last. Chris is a professional first and becomes a friend by the end of the process. Chis is well known, talented, and gets the job done. He answered any and all questions and was a true pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about Chis Bien with Pepine Reality. Betsey and her team are awesome. I only interacted with a few other people while looking, but they were awesome. Pepine Reality is a wonderful company and represents Gainesville, FL to the best of their ability. If you are looking for a home to buy or are looking for a listing agent to sell your home, trust Pepine Reality! They did me right the full process and I know they will treat you right during your process as well.

A NIGHTMARE DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY. Definitely the worst realty/property management company in…read moreFlorida. If you don't want a lot of headaches, stay away from this company. I was unfortunate enough to work with Pepine while buying a property and had a terrible experience. I thought I was unlucky with the agent and decided to give them a second chance so when I decided to rent my property, and looked for them to manage it. The first manager was a grumpy lady that treats you ok before you sign a contract with them. As soon as she had the contract signed your life turns into a nightmare. You will be ripped off with fees that come out of nowhere, get a terrible management service, have an unresponsive crew both via email or phone (yes - they will just ignore you), and the list goes on. I thought again the problem was with that specific manager, but later on a new manager and broker came on board, and things improved for one month or two, just to get way worse right after that. I cannot advise you enough to run away from this company. Pick a cousin, sibling, or a Pakistani freelancer online to manage your property, and they will definitely do a better job than this company. For example, as per today's date, I am begging for them to send me one document (a lease), and they've been ignoring me for 4 months but still charging me (and sometimes double charging me a management fee). Pepine won't forget to charge you an arm and a leg to manage your property or sell your house, but for sure this is the only thing they will care about. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

As a landlord working with the Owner Tanya and my property manager, Tianna, has been nothing but…read morepleasant and smooth. I unexpectedly had to move and with less than 1 month notice I reached out to Tanya and she came by to inspect my home and didn't exactly walk into a turn key ready home. She suggested a few repairs, got me a range for how much the property can reasonably rent for and as soon as all the agreements were signed, with the help of Tianna, they had vendors getting her estimates and getting started on repairs. Once the repairs were done and my home was put on the market it rented SOOOO quickly! I expected weeks to maybe a month but within days we had a lease signed. As a first time landlord what I appreciated most was the open communication and transparency I got every step of the way. Tianna and Tanya are both very professional and their experience shows.

As young, first-time homebuyers, we knew nothing about the process of buying a home, but from the moment I sent my first email to Marc and Leslie, I felt like their most important and only customer. They are a fantastic team that really works to build great relationships with their clients. They were so responsive to every email and phone call, and they were available at a moment's notice to show houses or draft an offer. They walked us through every step of the contract process, explaining everything in detail, so that we didn't feel lost or in over our heads, and they patiently answered our hundreds of questions. They even helped us move our closing date up a few weeks and worked closely with our lender to make sure everything got done on time. Working with Marc and Leslie made househunting fun and easy, rather than a chore. They never pressured us into any decisions. They are just honest, pleasant people who really know what they are doing. I cannot fully express how happy we are that we chose the Suskins, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I would use them again for a sale or purchase in a heartbeat!

We were fairly new to Gainesville, and living in an apartment while waiting to sell our home in…read moreWisconsin. We weren't really in a hurry, but stopped by a few Parade homes in the fall. At one, we met Tom. He was super knowledgeable about the house and entire area, but the house wasn't right for us. He recommended other neighborhoods we might be interested in and promised not to hound us if we gave him our info. And he truly didn't, which we really appreciated. We got back in touch with him and told him about some homes we were interested in seeing. He quickly set up appointments at all of them, and spent pretty much the whole day with us on Thanksgiving weekend, though I know he had company visiting. We told him we'd go to one of the houses that afternoon, as they had an open house that day. I thought it was a waste of time when I saw he had us going privately to that house. We saw about half a dozen houses that day, of all types in all sorts of neighborhoods. Tom did a wonderful job ferreting out what was important to us-he's a great listener! At the end of the day, he took us back to that Open House we'd mentioned-it was just ending, and he encouraged us to take another look. Both my husband and I knew definitively during our 2nd look that it was the perfect house for us. It turned out to be absolutely fortuitous that we had seen it earlier. After brief consultation, Tom submitted our offer that day, and helped us negotiate over the next day. We ended up with just what we wanted, and feel his knowledge was key in achieving that. It certainly didn't stop then. Tom spoke to us about different lenders and vendors for certain services. We still shopped around, but always ended up with the companies Tom had recommended and it served us well. He was quite helpful all the way up to and including the closing (offered a few inspection companies and set up the inspection with the one we chose, came to our walk thru and noticed little things for the seller to fix that we would never have seen), and has even followed up with us in the ensuing weeks, ensuring we were satisfied with how everything was going. Outstanding sphere of knowledge (neighborhoods, amenities, builders, valuations, etc...) Outstanding client service Would not hesitate for a second to recommend Tom as your realtor. My husband says he concurs!
