When our daughter bought her house, Krystal was her agent, and I was struck at how insightful and supportive Krystal was to our daughter's wants and needs. Once my husband and I decided to move here to be closer to our daughter, there was no doubt we were going to call upon Krystal. I started looking at houses last November, while the move was not for certain, and Krystal very willingly took me to some houses I showed interest in. On the day we put an offer on the house we are closing on this week, Krystal had lined up 7 houses to view... and in previous months had seen a few other houses from time to time as well. Bottom line, Krystal was ALWAYS responsive, and listened quite carefully to what we were looking for. The house we ended up getting - we were one of 14 offers submitted in a 1 1/2 day period- Krystal expertly guided us through the submission process - and we came out being the very fortunate winners! I am not saying lucky, because it was not because of luck, it because of Krystal's expert advice, and her commitment to helping us get a great house. I do also want to mention Maxine and Rita, who assisted with the closing aspect. Both of these ladies were very responsive to any questions we had, and I thank them both, as well. Sending huge thanks to the entire Bustamante Team... and most especially Krystal! We don't plan to use you again any time soon (I LOVE my new house!) but I definitely will refer friends and family !

But then again I would think most people looking for a home could get a little extra. I'll make this as completely honest as I can as to not make it seem I'm a hype man for Daniel. So I've known Daniel for a few years. Always a pretty active member in our community and he supports his local first responders. Took a liking to Daniel and we've been buddies since. Over the last year I've gone back and forth deciding if I wanted to finally buy a home. Native Central Floridian I wanted to keep it home but didn't know where. I work centrally and could call any area home. So I messaged Daniel and it was like a poof of smoke happened and suddenly I'm a home owner. Hear me out on this. This might have been the biggest, easiest life making events a person goes through in their human living existence and Daniel made it seem like it was brunch on a beautiful Sunday morning. Will there be issues? I'm sure. I had them. But it was always forward moving. My schedule is odd, well so is Daniel and he simply just makes things happen. I like that. There's a level of customer service I expect and I got that x10... but yet I still got that tough brother feeling when I knew I was being too much and just being stupid. Now what? I have a beautiful home in an amazing area. Mission Accomplished. Thanks Daniel!

Our listing was well…read moreresearched and prepared and Paul hit the ground running when it went live, holding multiple open houses that were very well attended and he promptly followed-up with potential buyers. He provided great communication and we never felt we were chasing him down for information regarding the house showings or selling process. He gave us wise council regarding our pricing and backed it up with facts and stats. He listened and we never felt manipulated or strong-armed into any decision. He was a calm and strong advocate in the negotiation, inspection, appraisal, and closing processes. At every point we felt he was working with us and had our best interest in mind. His selling formula proved successful as we had a fair offer within 30 days. We have already referred Paul to others and we highly recommend him.

Making arrangements to sell their home remotely was quite the challenge, or so I thought. We could not have asked for a better Realtor than David Welch! I made the trip to meet with David to initiate this undertaking. David took the time to not only sit with me to explain the process but, also ensured my parents were comfortable and thoroughly understood the process of selling the home they lived in for more than 20 years. David was an absolute Godsend. He was patient and communicated with my parents on a regular basis to ensure there were no surprises. He provided wonderful feedback as my parents staged their home to show to potential buyers (even rolling up his sleeve to adjust furniture - HA). David also communicated with me through out the process to ensure we were all on the same page. My parents home sold and the transition was very smooth, thanks to David's thorough knowledge of the real estate business, patience and true caring for my parents best interest. My siblings and I are extremely grateful for David's services. We felt he went above and beyond what one can ask for in a real estate experience.

Extremely Disappointed with Professionalism and Conduct…read more I recently completed a real estate transaction where Bethanne acted as the seller's agent, and I feel compelled to share my experience to help future buyers proceed with caution. At first glance, the property listing appeared comprehensive and professionally prepared, including a PDF and Word document outlining features such as appliances, televisions, and unique fixtures. I submitted an offer, and after some standard negotiations, we arrived at an agreed price. Following the inspection, I raised a few critical issues that needed to be addressed for the deal to move forward. These included foundation repairs, attic ridge repair and insulation, termite bonding, and AC servicing due to the age of both units nearing end-of-life, all items based on unfavorable inspection report. I accepted the rest of the property as-is, despite several other major concerns such as deteriorating siding, a rotting deck and fence, and old AC systems. All of this was formally agreed upon and signed in the contract. However, the situation took a dramatic turn after the appraisal. I noticed a square footage discrepancy and, as a buyer, exercised my right to challenge the appraisal. When the report came back below the contract price, Bethanne's reaction was not only unprofessional, it was shocking. She called my loan officer on a recorded line, berated her, and questioned her competence despite my loan officer's 25+ years of experience in the field. She had to explain, repeatedly, that appraisers are third-party professionals who operate independently from the bank, buyer, and seller, something any experienced realtor should fully understand. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Bethanne made baseless accusations against my loan officer, including claiming she had written negative reviews about her (with no evidence), and even escalated the matter to her leadership at the bank. She then took it a step further by contacting the CEO of my lending institution, causing further unnecessary disruption and tension. Towards the end of the transaction, Bethanne began to walk back on several agreed-upon repairs, including the attic repair, insulation, and termite bond, which had been signed off in the contract. This forced my own realtor to step in and cover these costs, sacrificing over $5,000 of her commission just to keep the deal moving forward and preserve professionalism. That kind of integrity stood in stark contrast to what I experienced from the seller's side. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop at closing. Upon receiving the keys, several items that had been clearly listed as part of the home's features were missing. These included: (1) The backyard fountain, referenced multiple times in the listing, (2) A professionally installed Sony TV (interior), (3) Sony TV mounted on the back deck ceiling, (4) An antique whale weathervane, described in the listing as professionally installed, (5) An antique oak medicine cabinet, (6) A reproduction Chippendale mirror in the half bath. My realtor attempted to contact Bethanne to recover these items, but we received no response. In summary, my experience with Bethanne was extremely disappointing. Her behavior throughout the process was unprofessional, combative, and unnecessarily disruptive. Rather than facilitate a smooth and respectful transaction, she actively made it more difficult, ultimately costing others both time and money. I would strongly advise anyone considering working with her, whether you're buying or selling, to proceed with caution. I write this review not out of spite, but in hopes of saving someone else from the stress, confusion, and financial setbacks I experienced over the course of six exhausting weeks.

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!
