I used Approved Title Co. after being recommended their services by one of my good friends in the…read moreworld of real estate. I originally bought my house in 2008 (yes I know the bubble hadn't quite burst yet, but realistically a lender wouldn't have given me money in the bottom of the crash, so it all worked out for me) with an alright interest rate. Then rates got lower, and lower, and I sat back putting real thought in to refinancing. I did my research and decided refinancing was for me only to get dreams broken due to the fact that my home was then underwater. Finally Obama did something about that and I became eligible for the HARP program and my lender contacted me about refinancing. All in all the process was a tad bit trickier than when I had even gotten the original loan as now interior home insurance was required by the lender and lots of other annoying things, but the one piece of good news was that I was able to select my own title agency and did just that by choosing Approved Title. When I originally bought the house I had no idea what I was doing and just went with what my Realtor said. My original closing was at some awful time during the day that required me to leave work early and wasn't at all on my schedule. This time around Approved Title let me choose a time that worked for me - after work hours and I was in and out within an hour. The whole process was very smooth and any questions I had were explained to me. I highly recommend choosing Approved Title!

We ended up using Approved Title based upon a recommendation; and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. In fact, we've paid it forward and have recommended Approved Title to friends and family. Nicole Vernon is a true professional and a pleasure to work with, as is the attorney, Seth Kimmel, and the entire staff of Approved Title. All questions were answered completely and all calls and emails were returned promptly. We were kept "in the loop" during the entire process; which due to their professionalism, went both quickly and smoothly. The entire experience, from first contact, to the final closing signature, was very positive and I'd highly recommend Approved Title.

He was contacted IMMEDIATELY and was promptly shown many different options that were definitely tailored to his taste. Sadly his business venture fell through and he never relocated to the area.

I believe that Icon Realty was involved in hacking my bank account. I leased an apartment in the heart of las olas/Fort Lauderdale from December 2016, from Atlantic loft llc. I agreed to pay a 2 month security deposit of $2400 as well as first, last and security (pretty standard) got my key, etcétera. After 2 different companies handling our property, ICON Realty came in January 2020 and revamped property by implementing a ***online payment service ***** aka , a way to get into your bank account. I questioned who this is and why I had to use this system to pay, not only to be replied with "It is our new system and you have to use it, you must pay rent this way or consult your attorney" As I went ahead and used it but decided to not renew my upcoming ending lease of 3/30/20. I emailed, texted and explain that I would not be renewing the lease because not only I don't trust the payment system, I had a very difficult time communicating with Benjamin (who by the way runs the whole thing). He ignored all my calls and the ones he replied, he did very rudely. I promptly moved out on schedule and handed him the keys along with my original lease agreement. He took the keys and said that He did not have a refund and I would need to wait 30 days to receive one on the mail. Now 30 days later. My bank account has been HACKED and bank investigated the multiple charges leading back to that January rent payment. I have been getting random withdrawals from different wiring entities totaling over 1k so far. Due to covid19, I can not yet file a claim in court. And the reason I am writing this is to WARN tenants and landlords about companies like this! I am attaching the refund check I just received. What a joke! See you in court.

I first engaged with Mike via email while I started to look for a second home in the Fort Lauderdale area. I had been to Fort Lauderdale several times in the past as a tourist, but was completely clueless when it came to the residential neighborhoods. After a couple months of research, I dumped a mile-long list of requirements and perspective listings on Mike and, quite frankly, was a little nervous that I had overwhelmed him. I was wrong, however, and flew down for a weekend of property hunting that was extremely productive and was well-targeted in regards to my requirements. Mike did a great job finding a mix between exact listings I wanted to see, coupled with similar listings in various parts of city, enabling us to get a true flavor of the entire area. When I finally decided to make an offer, Mike's knowledge of the area, construction (he's a house flipper, himself) and just general personal insight gave us confidence that we were making the right decision. During contract phase, Mike was there every step of the way and was highly-engaged and hands-on throughout the 45 days. He made a number of visits to the house, ensured that repairs were being done in a timely and quality fashion, and helped coordinate activities between legal, lending and the seller. This was particularly important to me given that I was either back at my home in NYC or flying all over the world on business during this time - he was my "eyes and ears" on the ground. He was extremely responsive via email, text and was there for a call any time I needed to chat. Never did I feel that I was "in the dark" on any issue. I highly recommend Mike for your Ft. Lauderdale / Miami real estate needs and will definitely use him again the next time I need a real estate professional.

Patty's guidance throughout the process, from preparing the home and taking photos all the way through closing, was invaluable. Patty and Chris were both extremely supportive every step of the way and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and organized. Selling a home after 20 years of raising kids and making memories is an emotional rollercoaster, and they handled everything with care, patience, and empathy. Even after closing, they checked in on me as I relocated and recommended a moving company they've used in the past, which turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. Patty and Chris work beautifully as a team, and I truly could not imagine going through this experience with anyone else. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier, luxury-level service and genuine people who truly care about their clients.
