" As a resident of PA, we were looking for a winter home in the Lakeland area. We had located a home in a 55+ golf community that went up for sale and contacted Diana. The seller immediately had an open house and since we could not make arrangements to get there in time, Diana offered to go on our behalf and do a zoom call with us while going through the property. She went above and beyond with her efforts and in turn we were able to make an offer and settle on that property. Diana's willingness to do whatever it takes on behalf of her clients makes her an exceptional realtor, and for that, we are grateful and we have made a lifelong friend. "

" Selling my parents’ home was very emotional, but Martha made it so much easier and definitely contributed to a prompt and smooth closing. She listened and understood our goals and was sensitive to the nature of our sale. Martha’s vast experience was exemplified by how she was able to be attentive to even the smallest of details. She was extremely responsive to the many calls, texts and emails throughout the sale process. Martha has a strong network of resources and great working relationships with lenders, title companies, inspectors and appraisers which helped to expedite the process and quickly eliminate issues that arose. She is professional, organized and efficient as well as personable and she took a personal interest in our family and selling the home.

" My wife and I had the great pleasure of working with Silvana Knight for both buying of our home in 2007 and the selling of the home in 2015. Silvana was very professional throughout the process and did a good job of keeping us updated of various things that came up. Silvana had the patience to help us through the purchase of our first home purchase in 2007. She didn’t pressure us to settle for anything less than the right home, and her patience and willingness to answer all our questions ensured that we got the best home among the dozens of homes we looked. When we sold the house in 2015, Silvana was instrumental in guiding us through all available options as we looked to sell our house. Silvana provided critical information well beyond the process of simply listing, showing, and ultimately selling our house that helped us secure the best possible outcome. We had first offer one day before putting on the market and got the price we expected. If we are going to move back to Lakeland, we will definitely ask Silvana to help us again. We have recommended and will continue to recommend Silvana to others. "

" Worked above and beyond to find us the right home We are so grateful we got to met Keith Walters! He worked day and night until he found us our first home.. We were with another realtor for a yr, before we found him (and boy was that a nightmare). Keith was on top of everything everyday and stayed in close contact with us. He felt more like a friend, than our real estate agent. He was there every step of the way with any questions we had and always answered them so quickly too. Very kind, courteous and respectful of what you wanted in a home. I would absolutely recommend him and his team for all your realtor needs. We are so grateful for what he did for us! He got us in our first home so quickly and that's exactly what we had hoped for. Verified by RateMyAgent "

" We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Jackie Garth who made our first home-buying journey a breeze. From start to finish, she exceeded our expectations and guided us through every step of the process with expertise and patience. Jackie has an impressive level of knowledge in the industry and she had a remarkable ability to understand our needs and preferences. We were looking for a home with specific needs and was able to filter thru homes that didn’t fit our needs as well as those out of our price range. She took the time to listen and only sent us homes that matched our requirements. I noticed along the way that a lot of the selling realtors that we were dealing with were difficult to get ahold of and I don’t feel like they represented their client very well- but I may have been just spoiled with Jackie. She tirelessly worked on our behalf and we can’t be more grateful. She was also a great negotiator. She got us our home for much less than asking price and also negotiated things in our co tract that needed repair prior to our move-in. I never thought buying our first home would be such a smooth process and I’m so happy that Jackie held our hand the whole way thru. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond to ensure you find your dream home, Jackie is the realtor to use. She comes highly recommended and we will use her for all future purchases! Lindsey and Jordan "

" I live in Colorado and I am considering a second home so that I can be near my son and his family. Even though he lives in the Tampa area I felt that the city of Lakeland, FL would suit my needs and preferences. I was referred to Maria and she was very responsive and very prompt in locating homes that could be of interest to me. I made a special trip to FL to view the homes. Maria is very professional. There is no hard sell and I really felt that she was looking out for me and my interests. Although I have not yet made a decision to buy a home, Maria gave me her undivided attention nonetheless. She will be my go to person if I come back to FL to resume my search. And, I am confident if the "right home" comes to market, Maria will be contacting me promptly. "

I whole heartedly recommend Maria to anyone with a real estate need, she is the best! "

- Shana Junior

" Found the perfect home! I was searching the internet months before planning to travel to Florida to purchase a home and June reached out to me with an email. We emailed back and forth multiple times and then spoke on the phone. She took my criteria and sent me messages with homes that fit what I was searching for. I changed my search area several times and June changed the search criteria. Since I was traveling from out of state, I made an appointment to visit homes a week in advance. Houses are selling so fast, as soon as they are listed, they are sold. With June's help, I narrowed the area down and was able to purchase this home on the first day we toured homes. "

- Lakeland buyer

" Craig is literally the best real estate agent one can have the luxury of meeting. This gentleman is humble and sincerely cares about the needs of his clients. My daughter and I flew in from New York with the mission of finding a wonderful house for me. Craig took us around and while we went back and forth he was nothing but patient. He didn’t push us to close a deal, he didn’t pressure us on making a decision which would benefit him instead he gave us the pros and cons of each place. We made a decision and our journey began. I was able to do everything including my closing from New York as Craig did all the running around, including numerous phone calls, on my behalf. I have truly never seen someone offer their services in such a generous way. Today I am a happy homeowner in Florida due to Craig Murrell. If you’re looking for happiness, a home which calls to you at the end of your day, then this man is the perfect individual to make that happen. "

She was always available for us and if she did not answer her phone when we called, she sent us a text message letting us know when she would call us back. She would send us houses to review and if we sent her houses we wanted to see, she would review the house for us and let us know about any issues with the house. She drove an hour both ways to show us houses. She was very knowledgeable and if she didn’t know the answer, she would find out and let us know the same day.
