We purchased a house in high Springs that this real estate had listed and they did not disclose the…read morecorrect property acreage. We were told about a week before the closing or so that we needed to have a survey done which cost quite a bit of money as it was last minute and we needed it done right away. After the survey was done we found out the property, instead of being 3 1/2 acres, was only 2.7 acres and we only had as I stated three days before the closing so we had no other recourse but to go ahead with the deal because we had no place to go we were pretty much forced into buying this house because otherwise we would not have had any place to live. They advertised it as 3 1/2 acres and they were incorrect. we were offered the property for 10,000 less but that in no way was enough considering it was almost an acre less than they advertised. I feel this real estate is responsible for all the stress and loss we suffered! Would never recommend. They did NOT do their job in listing the correct information!

I contacted Meg at Rabell Realty Group by email and said that I was looking for a buyer's agent to…read morehelp me find a rural property in the Gainesville area. She was initially very responsive and replied both by email and phone (left a message while I was on the road), expressing a willingness to work with me and asking if I had found any properties in the area that I was interested in seeing. I replied by email that I had found a few that I wanted to see, said I was sorry I had missed her call, and asked when would be a good time to call back. And then... nothing. I never heard from her again. I called her back the next day, and left a message, but received no further replies by phone or email. The unprofessionalism was striking. I would actually have preferred no response at all to my initial email. As it was, I thought that I had found a realtor, and essentially wasted a day waiting for a call back that never came, time that I could have used to find another realtor. Why Meg could not have simply sent an email saying, "sorry, but I'm not accepting new clients at this time" is hard to understand.

I was moving and needed a company to find a tenant and manage my condo. Called around town and…read moreactually had a good first impression. The owner was pleasant enough and professional. When she handed me over to the actual person who would be managing the property, things started to fall apart beginning with a tremendous amount of pushback on absolutely everything. And they were not prompt in responding and lacked follow through. It was an incredibly stressful time. Eventually, once the funds were received for placement, tenant and myself were unceremoniously dropped from their "firm". I thought it was just me, but it appears that this is a pattern of bad behavior that still remains unchecked to this day.

Most unorganized real estate firm I've ever experienced…read more Every time I called, I would get transferred back and forth. I finally got through to a representative, and the information she gave me on a unit I was interested in renting was completely different than what was listed on the website. Price, location, date available, and application pending status were all incorrect. She said it already had an approved application on it, even though I was accepted for a tour of that unit... Then, I found another listing on their website I was interested in renting. Against my better judgement, I attempted to call their office again, and the person I spoke with said she couldn't find that listing in their records. She said she would place me on hold and find out, but instead she transferred me back in the queue where I waited another 20 minutes just to receive a voice mailbox. To me, seeing "Allison Ables" on the listing is synonymous with "don't even bother." You'll waste your time battling call queues and incompetent representatives.

We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. :)

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.
