This was our second home purchase with his help, and the second time he's made the process amazing. We'll be forever grateful for the legwork, the endless hours of house hunting, the drafting of offer after offer, patiently answering a thousand questions at the most random times, and providing market insight and the very best service recommendations. We wouldn't be close to ready if it weren't for his invaluable assistance. Welch Team and George Pottenkulam have earned our unwavering loyalty. We're too old to name any of our kids after him, but I'm down for calling them all George in his honor.

Actually, saying we were fortunate when we met Bernadette is an understatement. As our realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. She was patient while we traveled to Saint Augustine to look at homes over four months. In these countless trips, she showed us practically every house available that fit our criteria. We were discussing the necessity to expand our region but she called us and said she found a home that was about to go on the market. It happened to be in the neighborhood we were seeking and we made an offer. Her guidance to close on our house was immeasurable; from understanding the market pricing to the home inspector with integrity and knowledge, she was able to help us secure our house at a price we were happy with. Bernadette was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. She never wavered in her resolve to find the right home for us. She never tired of showing us the countless homes we requested. She answered every question honestly and with our best interests front and center. When she didn't have the answer, she was able to obtain the information quickly. She gave us good advice. She never rushed us and we always felt that finding a home that met our needs was more important than closing the deal. Bernadette is also incredibly personable. On top of being exceptionally good at her job, she felt like a friend after the first showing and certainly is a friend now. We are happy to say we are in our home, mostly due to her tireless efforts and we are very grateful. We love our new home. We have recommended her to many of our friends and family and would recommend Bernadette Grandinetti to anyone who wants a realtor who cares that her client gets exactly the home they are looking for and will work hard to make sure that they not only find a house, but their home. Sincerely, Jim and Mia

We truly believe they had our best interests at heart, and they worked really hard (even late at night) to ensure that we literally received everything we wanted. I had a bizarre schedule at the time, and both were extremely accommodating to seeing houses based on my schedule. Plus, I always had TONS of questions--which were never an issue for them! At one point they even found a house that had every single item on my "checklist", BUT, it still didn't feel right to me. When I rejected it they didn't even blink an eye, just hit the trail again! Truly, there's no stress or pressure when they are at the helm, and we never felt like we were on a 'pushy used car lot' when we spoke with them, unlike other realtors we met. Jeanie and Ann are incredibly honest and trustworthy, they moved quickly, were very flexible with our sometimes rigid schedules and preferences, are excellent and fast communicators, and worked tirelessly to successfully find us the right home. We cannot imagine how anyone will regret having them as real estate agents. We are so thankful we found them!!

Coming from Ohio we couldn't be down here all that much during the building process. Crystal was there literally at all the important stages! from signing a contract, the design center(a huge help), first walk through with the builder, hiring an independent inspector, checking up on our house without us asking and keeping us updated throughout the whole process. She was a welcome extension of us, representing us very well during the process. We are very pleased with our Providence home and not sure it would have ever happened without Crystal! You will not be disappointed!

Before I go into detail let me just say that our family was extremely blessed to have found Crystal…read moreto guide us along our new journey. Although it is recent it already feels like one of those moments in life that you look back on and realize how extremely lucky you were. For context we sold our house in NY in early March 2020 a week before COVID hit NY hard. At that time we were concentrating most of our efforts on Long Island, NY. Real Estate in NY was suspended a week after so we were in a holding pattern. One day during the pandemic in May, after weighing our options, we made up our minds and completely changed plans and went all-in to leave NY and look for a home in NC and FL. It was exciting and frightening at the same time especially since we have not visited any of the places we researched online. So the day after our son's last day of "virtual school" our family left NY with two cars packed with stuff and a dog. We had no real idea where we would end up. We visited homes in NC for a few days that we really liked and then made our way to St John's County, FL. I found Crystal on Google maps and made an appointment when we were in NY. We were focused on Nocatee, FL but were open to other parts of the county. Since we have never been to Nocatee, Crystal had us meet her at the Welcome Center. We had a presentation performed by the town representative and by Crystal and it was a perfect 30,000 foot view of the town and the communities. It also provided the perfect context we needed when Crystal took us to homes to view the entire day. Crystal's plan for us was to show us all the areas and houses available in our wheelhouse for the entire week. We wound up loving a house and area in Nocatee early in our search and Crystal assisted in the offer process. Typically in NY when the offer is accepted and you are in contract the real estate agent takes a back seat. The opposite happened here. After we went in contract Crystal showed us how much she cares for her clients. To say Crystal went the extra mile is an under-statement. Our family is unfamiliar with Florida so had a ton of questions with the closing, inspections, termite bonds, CDD, HOA, you name it. I can't remember how many times I texted or emailed Crystal about some question we had. And each time not only was Crystal super-responsive but she provided detail with follow-up. With all the moving parts of closing on the house of your dreams you really need someone who is super pro-active that can set expectations on every part of the process and Crystal lined up everything perfectly. We can't say enough. Thank you Crystal.
