Working with a real professional…read more Nelson Rua worked in a team with my estate agent. At the beginning of my search for a house, he had explained to me how he thought Cape Coral would develop and where it was worth investing. I found myself face to face with a man who had a wide range of interests and, at first glance, seemed to dance at a thousand weddings. This impression turned out to be correct and particularly valuable in the process of my purchase decision. I did the viewings myself with his team partner Grace. Once I had decided that I wanted to move on to the next phase with an object, the stage was set for Nelson Rua. He took a second look at the property from a completely different perspective, one that a layman like me wouldn't be able to see. The day after my viewing, I was given valuable information about the building substance and the quality of the workmanship in the house. It turned out that I wasn't just dealing with a real estate agent, but with a real professional with valuable knowledge of construction techniques. I had a total of three shortlisted items. Apart from the one I finally bought; we had nicknames based on the color scheme. One was called "Villa de Cruella" and the other "Pale Smurf". Nelson Rua drove to all three houses afterwards and wasn't shy about telling me honestly if he thought something was wrong. He was also able to give a good estimate of how much it would cost to rectify a flaw. Imagine you've just fallen in love and someone comes along and tells you about a major character deficiency in your conquest. Not a pleasant situation for either side and yet broker Rua made it easy for me to process this information. In the end, it was Nelson Rua who successfully negotiated the conditions and managed to squeeze out another discount on the purchase price. The real surprise - and I shouldn't have been surprised, because I had this impression from the first meeting - is Nelson's professional network. I thought he danced at a lot of weddings, but I found out how good these parties were for me after I finally bought the unnamed house. I needed tradesmen for custom interior work, a pool builder and someone to install a reverse osmosis system for me. Of course I solicited bids myself, but Nelson Rua always knew someone who was qualified, what the quality of work would be, and I ended up saving thousands of dollars because of Nelson's recommendations. In addition, I had a good feeling that the work would be done well. Nelson Rua is an absolute professional in real estate. He is always willing to go the extra mile, shines with competent expertise and his professional network is an extraordinary added value. I can only recommend putting yourself in Nelson Rua's hands when buying a property.

Gated communities are a rarity where I am from, but we could not be happier with Laguna Lakes.
