Kristen was so spectacular in so many ways. Amazingly knowledgeable about neighborhoods,…read moreconstruction, styles, negotiating on my behalf, comps, etc. Kristen is pleasant and easy to get along with, as are almost all real estate agents, but she is also frank about pointing out defects in homes you are viewing (if you want that). Buyers differ in how they prefer to interact with a showing agent - some prefer to be allowed to take in a home without any distractions, and Kristen is happy to operate in that mode if that is what you prefer. On the other hand, I like for the agent to be with me while touring a home to answer questions and point out defects and advantages as we go along. Kristen was so very excellent in that mode. When it comes time to make an offer on a house (or decide on a listing price), a market analysis from an agent is crucial. I found Kristen's market analysis well done and her negotiation skills superb in representing my interests. The home inspection uncovered an issue that became a sticking point because ultimately it proved not feasible to remedy and I didn't want to accept it. After many hours of research and fact finding by Kristen, eventually I realized it was not the big deal I had thought. Kristen never rushed me to this conclusion, to her immense credit. This was the seventh home purchase for me and by far the most expert and helpful agent I have worked with. Highly, highly recommended.

She made sure that we understood every step from beginning to close. If we had questions (and boy were there questions) Trish was quick to answer and put us at ease. Trish is keenly aware that selling your home can be stressful (we are new at this so yes we were stressed) so she goes out of her way to check in, pass along words of encouragement and even cheerlead when necessary. Who knew realtors could wear so many hats?!? Trish made sure that we, as her clients, got the most out of our listing. We are so pleased with her selling capabilities that we are even using her skills to purchase a new home.

From showings to inspection to closing, Joan worked with us every step of the way, explaining the process as we went, and helping us to find our perfect home. She was always available to answer our questions and be our liaison between us and the sellers of our new home. She made what can sometimes be a stressful process seem so easy and stress-free. Even after closing, she continued to stay in touch and recommended contractors to help us with projects for our new space. If you are looking for an agent to help you buy or sell a home in Alachua County, we very highly recommend Joan Sroka.

We had a counter offer for her to bring her clients she answered without bringing it to them. We drove 7 hours to close early to help her parents close on their next place the same day. She agreed to leave lockbox then changed that too. She would not let us park at the property until closing was complete. We had our cats and dog with us. We had to park at a gas station until the go ahead from the title company. Coincidentally owned by the same broker, there was quite the delay in receipt of our wire, although confirmed on our end. UNETHICAL. UNKIND. DECEPTIVE. As far as the condition the property was left in? NASTY. GARBAGE LEFT INSIDE AND OUT. FILTHY FLOORS AND COUNTERS. There are too many good companies out there that CARE. HORIZON Realty of Alachua and Alachua Title is not one of them. Real Estate agent Romina Mincey is one to avoid if you like working with honest, kind and compassionate agents.

If you want to hire the best realtor in Gainesville, you've got to call Lisa Baltozer from Coldwell…read moreBanker, MM Parrish Realtors. I live in South Florida, but I own a townhome in Gainesville that I wanted to sell quickly. I called Lisa and I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and with her vast knowledge of the real estate market and how to best market a home for a quick sale. Lisa genuinely cares about each and every one of her clients, and she always made me feel like I was number one on her list. She also returned every one of my phone calls and texts I sent her within minutes, and she answered every question I had. This was very important to me. Lisa's real estate expertise is amazing. She did a thorough market analysis, previewed my home, and sent me a list of things she recommended that I do to get a quick sale (new paint, new carpet, repairs, professionally clean the unit and the tile, remove certain furniture, etc.) I followed her advice and she was right. Lisa listed my home on June 27, 2018, and by noon June 28, 2018, we had three cash offers. We actually ended up selling my townhome for $2,000 over the asking price! Since I live out of town, I needed Lisa to be my eyes and ears for all the contractors I hired to work on my townhome. Lisa stopped by my home numerous times to help with whatever needed to be done (letting in the painter, checking out the new carpet for me, etc.) She texted me dozens of pictures so I could follow the progress of the contractors. She even stopped by my townhome after 9:00 p.m. when I asked her to check something in the townhome for me. Lisa did countless extra things for me, including installing new weatherseal by my front door when the old seal needed to be replaced, and she had great ideas to stage my home. She made my townhome look amazing! I have used several real estate agents throughout Florida during the last thirty years, and Lisa is by far the best agent I have ever had. She made everything so easy for me. She was always there to answer my questions, to help me with whatever needed to be done, and to walk me though every step of the selling process before, during, and after the sale. I am so happy that I found Lisa. I recommend her 100% to anyone who wants to hire the very best real estate agent in Gainesville! Thank you, Lisa, for all the extra things you did for me and for the amazing job you did selling my townhome in one day - and for $2,000 over the listing price! This wouldn't have happened without you. You are beyond awesome!
