This month I bought my first home. (!!) It was a super exciting time, but with all of the…read moreexcitement came heaps of stress. There was so much to do and so much paperwork to get together, and while I consider myself an organized, smart person, I found myself scrambling at every turn. I am so, so grateful that I used Bill and Orlando Mortgage Masters to help my through this crazy process. Bill is everything that you could want in a mortgage broker--he's smart, he responds quickly to all questions, and he has experience in the area, which gave me peace of mind that he was finding the best deals. He also has so many more great qualities that made me feel like I was in good hands--he kept in touch to let me know where he was in the process, he was thorough in letting me know exactly what he needed from me, and he is great at explaining my options in non-technical terms. He's kind, patient, and has a good sense of humor, and I always got off the phone with Bill feeling assured that he was handling his (very important) side of things. With all the stressors that go into buying a house, it was such a comfort to know that my mortgage needs were being taken care of! Next time I'm looking to buy a home, I know that my first call will be to Bill and Orlando Mortgage Masters.

They helped us get a great amount for the house and were always prompt and easy to work with. I liked that they offered multiple different packages so you can pay for only the services you want. We chose the highest level of service, the Concierge Package, and it was well worth it to have them coordinate everything for my elderly mother such as repairs, the movers, and the estate sale. They patiently worked with my mom to help her decide what to keep and what to get rid of. I can't recommend Beth enough if you need a realtor in Florida, especially one who offers additional services on top of those of a standard realtor.

Nick and team are great, we met Nick while searching for options on purchasing a new home. Nick…read morewas hosting an open house and we just happen to walk in to check it out. He asked what we are looking for and immediately took the initiative to start sending us listing gathering information and became our agent. We saw many properties with both Nick and Andy, lost a few that we really liked but ultimately we found our forever home and are building new. As for the sale portion of what was our current home, Nick, Andy and team felt very confident in that it would sell quickly and that we would get our asking price... after some staging assistance from the team, some house preparation on our part and some purging we got the house ready, listed it on Thursday, hosted open house on Sunday and Monday we had 2 serious offers to consider. We closed in 30 days, got asking price and are very pleased with how Nick and team handled the sale or our home and are assisting us through the process of our new home being built. Thanks Nick, Andy and team! We could not have done it without your help. I would certainly obtain their services again and strongly recommend them.

Do NOT use Bella Trae Realty or ever trust Rebecca Redman Hamoui. If I could give 0 stars I would…read more We rented at the community Bella Trae managed by BT Realty for about 6 years. Too many bad things were done to us. We gave them so many chances to make it right but they ignored/abused us. They damaged our stuff badly, left major plumbing issues not repaired while they were fully aware of something growing in the plumbing breakage from photos/videos & left it that way. We have written many times to have them settle up w us for a product/service that was not delivered at all and fully breached contracts by them. We have never been treated so badly & like we didn't count or exist. I'm not sure if I am allowed to do this on this site but the level of damage caused to us required us to do a site to show it. It was originally put together to share w an attorney which we have done, but the site shows it all. A small summary from our last letter to them of what was done to us is below but if you want more info/photos, go to our site listed at the bottom. 1) Constantly neglected & stalled important plumbing & other maintenance despite what was contractually spelled out as necessary & your responsibility despite constant & consistent written reports from us & caused several health hazards from it plus the limiting of sq footage, space & usable appliances we paid for. Actively prevented & interfered in repair even when we offered to do it at our own expense & then left it sitting broken & growing things & a health risk throughout the entire set of leases. 2) Caused out of control mold growth in the unit w severe botched maintenance while you had allergic tenants living there & you knew about the allergies to the point that in writing we requested to paint & carpet ourselves with permission from the owner/Bella Trae, to be sure we had all new things (that you ruined through repetitive botched water based maintenance), You ignored multiple written notices of the material growing in the cracked pipe. 3) Abused and neglected tenants you knew in writing were allergic, autistic and blind, 4) Ruined our furniture and belongings that had to be left behind so we were not further closely exposed to them on moving and we did not expose junk haul away people to that (as these molds require protective gear according to what we have researched) as well as locked us out a day early after we paid for that day which caused us to lose many things and then charged us to haul away what you made us leave behind a full day before our lease ended, 5) Charged us for the belongings you ruined and now have not made any move at all to contact us or get us our money back in any way while we told you to contact us to arrange this by this email and pickup, in essence stealing our money after severe tenant abuse & health hazard exposures through maintenance abuse/neglect, 6) Locked us out of the site portal completely so we cannot see our account, without sending anything regarding our requested settlement or security deposit to the email we asked you to send to upon turning in our keys, that you have had for the entire time (8 months now). 7) Locked us out of the unit earlier than the end of the lease even though we paid through the end & you reviewed us as people who paid in full & were good tenants to another realty firm right before that. June 30th goes through 11:59 PM and only began at 12:01 am but you locked us out at 12:00 am before we got all of our belongings. If it were not for me reading the riot act to the person at the speaker at the gate and threatening legal action and bringing police with me, more of our things would have been left behind. 8) Blew us off when we asked you if there were any available rentals in the same area as we explained that we needed to stay close to our work. You emailed back that nothing would be in our price range. Since you had not reviewed our income in months at that point, how would you know what our price range was to reject us that way? Funny we were able to qualify for something more expensive than your place ever was. Furthermore, if you thought of us at that time as good tenants with no problems and reported us as always paying on time to MC Realty and that you would rent to us again (we have the notes they took on that phone interview-see it on the site) why would you not have helped us as a broker/realtor in this area instead of writing back 1 email blowing us off and then ignoring us after that? It leaves us to wonder what about us was a problem for you way before you ever got our notification of intent to sue you or posting by us of all the things you neglected to service in your lease with us on the walls in the unit on lease end prior to your walk through which you did not allow us to be present for. Would it be that we pushed for the maintenance you were supposed to do? Btw, Ms. Hamoui's license number is BK3547226 & is not right on Yelp. https://tenantabusedbybellatrae.weebly.com/

We cannot recommend Lindsey and Bobby Mims of VOS Real Estate highly enough…read more Over the years, they have helped our family purchase three homes, and there is no one else we would trust with such an important decision. The first two homes were for my husband and me as we relocated twice. Through their expertise, patience, and guidance, we ultimately found our dream home and forever home. Most recently, they helped my mother purchase a home as we moved her from North Carolina to Florida following the loss of my father. This was an emotional and challenging transition for our family, but Lindsey and Bobby went above and beyond every step of the way. They treated my mom like family and worked tirelessly to ensure she found a wonderful home that met her needs and gave us peace of mind. What sets Lindsey and Bobby apart is their deep knowledge of the real estate market, their integrity, and their genuine commitment to their clients. They are not simply real estate agents; they are trusted advisors who consistently put their clients' best interests first. Whether you are buying or selling, take a look at their track record and experience. You'll quickly see why they have earned our complete trust and why we recommend them without hesitation. They are simply the best in the business. Thank you, Lindsey and Bobby, for helping our family through some of life's biggest transitions and for making each experience a success.

Decided to put in an offer at the end of January of 2019. Offer accepted. Cool. What Natalie and her team didn't tell us or just didn't do their due diligence was that the HOA that the property was in was over the 15% delinquency mark that's required for the type of loan we had. A good listing agent knows those types of things. It took my realtor to do the digging to find that out. She and her team prolonged so many different tasks that needed to be complete even though we were prompt to get her any information that she asked for. We spent so much time just waiting for responses from Natalie. Meanwhile we are paying for an appraisal and a home inspection for a property that we can't even buy. Also listed incorrectly was the dog weight limit. It was listed 36-60 pounds but when we got the HOA documents, it clearly had a 29 pound maximum and our dog is 50 pounds. If this property were listed correctly, we wouldn't have even looked at it. We personally feel Natalie and her team should pay us back the money for the home inspection and appraisal. It was the worst home buying experience and it was our first one. My future bride and I plan on being in the central Florida area for a long time and working in real estate. Every time we see a property that has Natalie Arrowsmith's name attached to it, we will look the other way. We can't believe how unprofessional this experience was. Complete waste of time and money. Your unprofessionalism took $775 from a young couple who moved to Orlando to try and start a new chapter in their lives.
