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.

My husband and I spent close to 25 years in Orlando before our jobs brought us West. We rented out…read moreour Orlando Condo for awhile, but then decided to sell it. 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!

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!

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.

Blueprint Real Estate Broker and Agent Blair Lassiter and Ashley-Casserly Greenberg took advantage…read moreof my families lack of termite knowledge when we were buying 2 small houses on one property in Downtown Orlando in 2018. First agent Blair was selling the property to us but she dropped out of the picture suddenly when I told her that her suggestion to mail me the termite bonds AFTER the closing didn't seem fair or right. She disappeared along with her incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional attitude. She was also angry that I insisted upon an independent inspection of property. That's SOP, no? I still have all the emails. Suddenly her boss and Broker Ashley took over and sent us a quick "save the day" update on termite bonds email that did not define that both houses on the property needed 2 separate kinds of termite bonds, and that one house was missing an important bond that expired 2 years previously, according to the termite inspector. We were just glad that the condescending agent was gone, and that Broker Ashley said the two houses had bonds. We now see why Blair dropped out when I pressed about the issuance of bonds prior to closing, and why she wanted to mail them later, and that is because one of the bonds didn't exist, AND she had clearly stated in emails prior that the houses were both covered (I still have all the email communications.) Despite my very obvious fear that termites could be an issue on an older home, she nor her Broker Ashley felt compelled to be professional and share with unknowing, unsuspecting buyers, that in fact both houses need 2 bonds each. We did not even know there were 2 kinds of termites (or more) to deal with. I feel that the #NationalAssociationofRealtors would like to see a better standard. They and #FloridaRealEstateRegulation will be contacted as well as BBB and whomever else I can share with. After contacting Broker Owner Ashley-Casserly Greenberg of BLUEPRINT REAL ESTATE GROUP and showing her the email threads we have, she contacted and attorney and sent us a cease and desist letter. She made zero attempt to resolve the issue with us as a professional. I want to let the community know that it was our experience based on facts written in document threads that we kept, that BLUEPRINT REAL ESTATE GROUP was not forth-coming and professional with us, so that others can decide for themselves if that want to take a chance with lack of full disclosure on such a huge purchase. Yes, we are left having to pay for termite mitigation on the house they covered up and glosses over in the sale, but the bigger issue for me is having people in the community who think they are more important than others, who will take advantage of us in our own city, and then instead of dealing with the issue they send out what could be to some people very frightening legal documents demanding a cease and desist from sharing your story, from telling the FACTS as you experienced them. They didn't count on me being educated and holding my BA in Legal Studies. I wont be bullied. In the case that you do not know this, you can NOT be sued for Libel or Slander (written or spoken defamation resulting in loss of income) if what you say is TRUE. I have all the documents to verify what I am saying is in fact true. So don't let the bullies in life scare you, some of whom are Brokers, Agents and Lawyers among us all, sadly. Say what you need to say, and stick o the facts. Don't let them win.

My Wife and I first contacted the Miller Group in…read moreJanuary of 2020 and being new to home buying we had a ton of questions but we weren't quite ready to purchase. Anne-Marie met with us after 5 during the week and took the time to explain the homebuying process and answers several of our questions. We were given a packet with all of this information and during the meeting there was absolutely no pressure to try and find a house quickly- and we didn't. Over the next couple of months Ann-Marie's patience really shown through. The wife and I found houses here and there, on zillow and through the miller group platform, that we wanted to look at- sometimes we'd only see one house after Anne-Marie meeting use 30-40 miles away from her office, only because it's the only one we wanted to look at. We did this until early March when we finally found the house we wanted. Anne-Marie gave us solid advice for submitting our offer that I am 100 percent sure led to our offer being picked by the seller. The closing process was smooth and Anne-Marie/the Miller Group really stayed on top of everything. I would not hesitate to work with Anne-Marie again.

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!
