We hired LauraLeigh on the advice of an appraiser. My father had recently passed and we needed to…read moresell the house remotely as no one in our family lived in FL. We cleaned out the home leaving approximately 7 pieces of furniture in the garage. LauraLeigh assured us she would dispose of them. It became a hassle with multiple 'SOS' emails that stressed me out. I thought her communication with our lawyer disrespectful and she did not even attend the closing to represent us as we were not there. We did not receive our asking price as she encouraged us to take the first offer. She did provide one small extra service but even with this I was made to feel as if I was being a bother. I would not recommend as the whole process did not go smoothly at all and left me with terrible memories of my parents home.

When we decided to sell our daughter's house we had no idea where to start and who to contact…read more Fortunately, a good friend recommended Laura Leigh Wood for the job. We contacted Laura Leigh and informed her we wanted to sell the house fast. She was out the next day providing us with some very simple and inexpensive ideas to enhance the appearance of the house. Well, her ideas definitely made the difference as the house had three full contract offers within 24 hours of listing. The closing process could not have gone any smoother as well. We would highly recommend Laura Leigh for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Awful, awful, awful. I listed my property with Kim Gordon as my seller's agent. She was pushy and…read morewanted nothing but to close the sale so she could get paid. Instead of supporting me during the process, she was behaving as if she was working for the buyer by trying to force me to give into all of the buyer's demands. I had to advocate for myself. I allowed her to do a showing over the weekend at my home. She had a habit of moving items in the house in order for it to "show better". She stuffed my brand new blender in a bottom cabinet and proceeded to break it. I called to ask her about and she denied it. There was no one in the house. Just be honest. We were scheduled to close and Kim asked if she could give the buyer the key to my house prior to the closing. I told her no. On the day of the closing I had to go back to the house because I forgot something and the buyer was already in the house-- before I signed any papers or received my funds. The level of disrespect was just outrageous. I could go on but this post would be too long. Don't let the "prestige" of this company fool you when they hire agents who behave like crooked car salesmen.

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 contacted a few Orlando agents and Metro City (Beatrice Miranda) was BY FAR the most responsive and engaged. We were nervous about selling a place from 2,500 miles away but Beatrice did EVERYTHING. She met with our tenant, advised us on the improvements we should make, coordinated painters, photographers, everything. Once listed, our place sold in one month at a desirable price. She continued to be engaged and facilitated closing efforts. Thank you, Beatrice, for making what we thought was going to be a stressful situation so easy and painless!

Jolie Eichler helped us buy a home in Lake Mary! She sent us updates every time a house we might be…read moreinterested in came up and they were spot on. I think we only looked at 4 or 5 houses before we made our decision. She really understood what we were looking for. When we picked our house, she helped us get through an extensive construction loan process. Jolie helped us work with the bank seller for terms that would work for us. She is very responsive to calls, text, and email and is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of real estate. You aren't left wondering about anything. I definitely recommend her! After the purchase of our house, she helped me put my condo on the market and guided me on how to get it ready for sale. She brought in a photographer that took wonderful photos. I couldn't even believe how nice my condo looked in the photos! Having great photos is something I didn't think would matter that much until I saw them and I am so happy she did it this way. I had buyers coming every day to look and accepted an offer I wanted after only 2 months. I have cameras on the house and she is very responsive to other realtors calling her with questions as well. :)

Jolie is a World Class Realtor and blew me and my wife away with her skills. She came highly…read morerecommended from a trusted friend who knew we were in the market for both a used and new home. Our friend reminded us: "Hey, did you know you can and should use a Realtor when buying a home from a Builder?" Boy was she ever right. We had no idea a Realtor could be a huge Value Add when buying a new construction home. *Never* use a Builder's on-site Realtor. Contact Jolie before you ever walk on-site to a new subdivision or be prepared to be robbed and claimed as the Builder's rep prospect; some Builders will still let you have Jolie represent you even if you've already visited--again, contact her and *ask*. She'll be on it. We have experienced Jolie: * Knock 40% off the price of a Builder home by rapidly inspecting the Design Center Upgrades list on an Inventory home and called B.S. on at least half a dozen items * Negotiate hard with a Builder who was hell bent on not negotiating. She got us a free beautiful new fridge, free blinds in *all* windows (great time saver on move-in), and a free washer and dryer. May not sound like much. But trust me. With this particular builder / subdivision phase? She got the max any Realtor could have gotten. * Knock 10K off the price of our Inventory home. Again, from a Builder / subdivision in a highly desirable area of Horizon West who practically refuses to negotiate unless you build "from dirt." She's kind, funny, professional, has a great game face, and is a formidable adversary. You want Jolie on *your* side of the table as she has Ninja-class Realtor negotiating skills, a strong poker face, has a highly tuned B.S. detector (builders often are fluid with the truth), and will spot nearly every defect she sees in a used or new home. She deserved every penny (and more) of the commission she received from the Builder when we bought our new home this July of 2019. Thanks Jolie! You had our backs from beginning to end, were extremely patient, and taught my wife and I a *lot* about Real Estate, Negotiation, Builder sneaky practices, and so much more. I wouldn't hesitate to use her as a Listing Agent should we ever want to sell our home. And woe to Buyers Agents who would have to negotiate with Jolie. Again, stellar performance. Friendly to you--formidable and Superhero like vs. all opponents. :-) Words fail from here on. So over and out.
