So I wanted to sell my house by myself. Because my wife likes to rescue all kinds of animals, I…read morefelt that we had to get them to our house in San Antonio before I could prep the house. Finally, the house was ready. I had some professional pictures taken, put an ad on Zillow, and waited. Of course, we got a lot of interest from realtors, who claimed they were checking out the house for their clients, and OBTW, they had to tell me all the unique things their company does. Then, the coronavirus pandemic exploded, and my wife was frantic that I should come home so we could be together. I was ready to call one of the realtors that had visited, but our HOA board secretary reminded me of CJ Wright (of Lisa Duke Realty). She said CJ did a lot of business on our island, knew the unique flavor of the community, and had in fact helped me with a project when I was on the board. So I called her first. She came by late in the day, and we walked around, she asked a lot of questions, and took lots of notes. She mentioned she knew of a couple that wanted a home on the island; I felt so comfortable, we agreed she could send me listing agreement electronically. I gave her a key, and drove out the next morning (Tuesday). We texted a bit on Wednesday, and by the time I got home in San Antonio, I had the agreement in my inbox. She also told me the couple was going to see the house Friday. Saturday we had a conditional offer, and by Monday, we had agreed on a price. Tuesday we electronically signed the contract. And she still hadn't put the house on the MLS. She put it on the MLS just in case things don't work out, but she assures me the couple loved my house (I understand; it's a beautiful house, in a wonderful community, on an island surrounded by the Nassau River and its marshes). What else can I say? I was impressed she didn't come by to offer her services. Yet when I asked, she was ready to work with me. So far, everything is fantastic! I hope the rest of the process is as fast and painless as CJ has made it for me. Right now, I think that if you want to live on or near Eagle Bend Island, CJ is your salesperson, and Lisa Duke is your company.

We were referred to Jim by the listing agent so I was a little hesitant at first but we were blown away by the level of customer service we received from Jim. Jim answered emails, phone calls, and texts at all hours; even on weekends. He made us feel as if he wanted the house as much as we did by the level of service he provided. Jim went above and beyond to insure that we closed on our house within 25 days which was our goal. I cannot say enough about how satisfied we are with the level of service we received from Jim B. He was excellent and I highly recommend him and his team!

We asked Susan to show us a property we were interested in that was just listed. We needed to be first in line to see the listing because we were interested in making an offer. The place was listed for more than we were comfortable with paying. Susan did some research and contacted the owner. Using comparisons she was able to convince the owner to drop the price by almost $10,000.00. Once the price was adjusted we made an offer and it was accepted. Once it was accepted she was able to recommend the contractor who we ended up hiring to renovate our apartment he did a great job and was very reasonable. She was also able to get us a fairly substantial rebate from a government program for military families that we had no knowledge of. Susan was reliable, honest, well informed, and with us every step of the way on our purchase. I highly recommend Susan, she worked hard for us and I trust her implicitly.

Tina Pierce found us a home that was a steal and was under $300K. She worked tirelessly to find us a home we could afford and still remain in Fernandina. We couldn't quite afford what we wanted on island but we're more than happy with our new place that has a 50-foot porch overlooking the marshes and St. Mary's River across from downtown Fernandina Beach. Top of the line service from Tina including a personalized calendar showing what was due and when. Tina introduced us to a great home surveyor, arranged the closing at her office at a super rate, and generally guided us through the whole process in a low keyed, but elegant, manner. A lovely small private office with tea service was the cherry on top of an experience that was a lot less stressful than most real estate transactions. I definitely can recommend Tina Pierce and Sotheby's.

I have worked with other real estate agents on the same property but had no success, didn't even receive a single offer with the other agents.

She immediately came by to assess the property, quickly identified needed fix ups and arranged for trusted professionals to complete the fix, and within one week she had the condo listed and scheduled for an open house. I live in California so it would have been very difficult to fly out to Florida and manage these issues. However, thanks to Ms Allen all of this was taken care of. She is efficient, highly competent, and very trustworthy professional. I would highly recommend her as an agent to represent your property. Go with Wendi Allen and I promise you will not regret it.
