I used an agent (Tammy) from this firm and was placed in a terrible and costly situation because of…read moreher. The well at the house I bought was bad. I would have done a well inspection but the realtor provided me with one done by a previous potential buyer. She told me I didn't need to do one since one was done. What I didn't realize until after closing was that the company that did the inspection was the same company that put in the well. When I found out a few days after living in the house that the well was collapsing, I called the company to discuss the possibility of having the $12,000 bill covered at least partially by their insurance. I was told that Tammy said she never told me not to do an inspection and this was a she said she said situation that would not be covered. I'm a single mom living off an educators salary. This wiped out my savings. I would NOT recommend this company. They are not ethical.

No call, no text, nothing. We came back at 3:40 assuming it was a no-show. She finally arrived at 3:45 -- 45 minutes late -- and when she came to the door she said, "Didn't expect anyone to be here." We let her know the showing was confirmed for 3:00 and it was now 3:45. We told her she was lucky we still had the kids in the car and could step away. Instead of apologizing, she snapped "I'm lucky?", said "Forget it, I don't need to see your house," slammed our front door in our faces, and stormed off. Her own client -- the buyer -- then came to our door and asked if he could see the house without her. She abandoned her own client at a stranger's home after throwing a tantrum. We have two young children. This was aggressive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. We have filed formal complaints with her brokerage and the Florida Real Estate Commission.

Let's start by saying she's definitely not as young as the photos. To include her yelp photo. Those…read morephotos are at least 10+ years old with filters and yet she still uses them for her advertisements. I also never met her or even spoke to her until she showed up at my house. My first call was with her brother and he said she would be meeting him there, but he never showed. Look out for the bait and switch, which already put a bad taste in my mouth for how this was gonna go. My home is definitely not a higher end home, but it is a good starter home with everything updated for a young family. Karen came in already downplaying the value of the house with a very low number of what it would sell for. Ironically, I got that same number from opendoor, which is an investment firm that buys the houses for about 80 to 85% of their true value. Clearly she had already looked at my house as just an investment property. The entire time all she did was say I've done this and I've done that, but she never made it feel like we would be working together to sell my house for the most money possible. She only brought three comps which were as far away as 4 miles. Simply put she's a dinosaur in this industry and unless you have a home valued at 500,000 or more she doesn't seem interested. She left a lot of old flyers and not a single one. had an older home with updates on it so I highly doubt my house would've even made her flyers. Yes she did say the company spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure they're listed first and do the social media work, but is that truly selling my house on all of those platforms or is it just selling the company and the higher end homes? I went with a younger more social media connected realtor who came in with a number $55,000 higher than what Karen said my house would sell for which was backed up by eight comps within a mile of my house. I think that just goes to show that Karen wanted to flip my house for an investor. Will it sell for that higher number, maybe not but if you don't try you'll never know. Karen was willing to leave money on the table to move me along and help her investors!

I engaged Karen to sell my…read morein-laws home after they made mistake of signing with "neighborhood agent" after 60 days with no activity. Karen is a true marketing machine, as I found her through her social media posts from selling another property in the neighborhood. Karen and her team produced a video that sold the lifestyle of the community vs. just a 3/2 with granite countertops etc.. that they pushed out on social media and Google searches. Karen got the home under contract in less than 3 weeks and closed in 45 days at better-than-expected price. Karen is a true real estate professional in every aspect of the process such as proactive communication, the most professional marketing materials I have ever seen, attended all showings, offered to tour them around the amenities, provided real-time feedback, followed up with buyer's agent, managed multiple interested parties, negotiated the final offer with a steady demeanor and ensured we closed in a timely manner. I have bought and sold 8 homes in 5 different states in various price ranges of $400k to $2.5m+ so have worked with every type of realtor. Even after doing due diligence and interviewing several before engaging them, one was a nightmare, two were part-timers, almost all were good at marketing themselves vs. the property and turned out to be listing collectors for another agent to sell the home...except Karen that is at the top of her industry.

Working with Amber and Paul was one of the best experiences we've ever had. We came from a previous…read morerealtor who didn't believe in us and was about to make us quit. Amber came with an extraordinary positive energy. She was able to quickly understand our bottom line and what we were trying to achieve. She is an extremely smart, honest and ethical person who also has great leadership skills which was very important for several tough situations.

I think they could read that about me and we worked beautifully together as a team. They actually saved me a ton of money by coming over to advise me on what I needed to do and didn't need to do before selling. She reminded me that the buyers are purchasing a used house, not a brand new one. That statement let me relax. Before that, I felt like everything had to be perfect (and things were pretty perfect), but my stress melted away. It seems that they will be as involved or hands off as you need from them, which was exactly what I was looking for. They helped me execute every stage of the process flawlessly from advice to pricing to closing. Sunshine ran all of the numbers, and gave me the confidence to price our home at a price that other realtors would shy away from. Her numbers were solid and based on sold homes in the area. Other realtors were advising me to list it for 20-30k less. Needless to say, our house was under contract within a week on the market and closed on the originally planned closing date. I am beyond grateful for Sunshine and Paul. If you are wondering who to use as your agent, pick this team. They are the best!

Dina is an incredible Realtor. In addition to being a market expert in the Downtown Orlando condo…read moremarket (and probably others), she is extremely trustworthy, motivated, and personable. Dina is so easy to work with because she is a great person, and she genuinely wants for you (the prospective buyer) to find the perfect home for you. It's such a personal journey, because everyone has different wants and needs, but Dina takes the time to listen and puts that knowledge to work. In my case, I was looking for a condo downtown Orlando, and had been 'thinking' about it for at least a year. Dina never put pressure on me to get in gear, but rather kept tabs on me by asking if I had any questions or thoughts about what I might want. When I was finally ready to get serious, Dina knew exactly what I wanted because she had been patient and listened along the way. Additionally, I was so comfortable working with her because she never pressured me when I was taking forever to make up my mind. This trust that she established with me was critical, as when things started getting serious I had to make some quick decisions, and I knew that Dina had my best interest in mind. After looking at several different options, we finally found the perfect fit. This was not dumb-luck either, Dina knew what I was looking for, and made it happen with her deep market knowledge and connections. She knew of units that were about to be for sale before they officially were listed on MLS, and this gave me the edge needed to get the unit I wanted. Once we finally began the negotiation process, Dina was instrumental in helping me get the most value possible out of the transaction, and she was able to do this because of the relationships that she has built in the marketplace. *Quick sidebar - Dina also recommended the lender I ended up using (despite several other quotes) because he truly was the best suited to handle the condo financing (Eric Putt at Seacoast National Bank). In most purchases the buyer sometimes wonders, "could I have done better?" And even if they're satisfied with the outcome, there's always that lingering question. Now take that feeling, and multiply it by about 1,000,000 and that's what I expected to feel after the biggest purchase of my life because there are so many moving parts and things that could go wrong. Well I can tell you that while I sit here in my new home, writing this review for Dina - I feel absolutely no regret in this purchase. I love my new place, and I have Dina to thank. Do yourself a favor and give her a call, you'll get the results and piece of mind that you're looking for.

After getting frustrated with no call backs from realtors referred to us, I took matters into my…read moreown hands and did some research of my own. I found Kathryn by chance because she was featured on the Mills 50 Newsletter because of her recognition by the Orlando Realtor Association. For being so young, her credentials were impressive and I decided I would schedule an appointment for my husband and I to meet with her to see if she was someone who we would click with . Kathryn impressed us with her attention to detail. She had us both fill out a very lengthy questionnaire which would help her in curating a list of homes that fit our criteria. It took us a night to think about it but we immediately let her know we wanted her to represent us. Our search did not go without some issues. Kathryn is very matter of fact, analyzes the situation put in front of her and is a great negotiator on behalf of her clients. She will present the facts to you and leave it to you to let her know how to proceed. Overall, she puts her clients best interests ahead first and foremost. We appreciated this since the home buying process was so overwhelming for both of us. Also, Kathryn was a great resource for home inspectors who were honest and, in one case, saved us money! We would highly recommend Kathryn and her team for your home buying and selling needs. Kathryn works hard and , yes, even on weekends. If you want someone who has your best interests at heart and will actively communicate with you and for you- she is your gal!
