We really enjoyed working with Sylvia. From the day we contacted her all the way through closing was a great experience. Sylvia was always easy to communicate with over email and text and she always took it upon herself to get answers to any questions we had. We also really enjoyed that it wasn’t a high pressure situation. It truly felt like Sylvia had our best interests in mind.

Sophie was fabulous to work with, always quick to respond , never one to muddle. Loved her honesty, her approach to work and her energetic persona. We purchased our first house with her and sold the same one 4 years later.

Our journey to find a home began over a year ago. We were looking for a seasonal rental. Robyn understood our needs and desires immediately. Together we looked at many listings. Robyn sorted thru them, and passed on those that met the criteria.
Robyn was always willing and able with the most impressive attitude to visit the properties and FaceTime with us in NY. After that season we started to talk about purchasing a home. There was never a doubt that Robyn would facilitate this transaction with us. She spent many hours, and drove many miles looking at various possibilities. Her professionalism and positive attitude made the process easy and fun.
No judgment, no pressure. We had a strong feeling we’d like to live within the Mirasol community. When the right house presented itself, Robyn jumped right in. Negotiating with the listing broker, directing us to the right inspectors, and following up on every single detail. Robyn held our hand during this out of state purchase for us, visiting the property numerous times, making the process quick and easy. I’d recommend working with Robyn to find your dream home or next rental. She is knowledgeable, direct, and a pleasure to work with. She doesn’t stop after the deal. Making sure all details are in order. I’d love to work with Robyn, or be her neighbor!

We met Sophie at an open house, and were re-introduced to her via a friend. Sophie helped our friends buy a property a few years ago. Sophie is Awesome!!! Her knowledge of the area, the market, inventory was excellent. She showed us several properties, and was right on point with what we were looking for and our price range. She was professional, friendly and fun to work with. From making an offer to closing, she made it an easy transaction. I have given Sophie’s name to several people, and cannot recommend her enough. A five star experience for sure!

Penny was amazing!  Most people do not appreciate the importance of a good real estate broker.  It’s truly a game changer. Reasons why I think Penny was special and made such a difference in my purchasing experience:

• Although everyone has access to multiple listings, Penny listened to what I wanted and directed me to appropriate communities and homes.
• She is a “pro” at negotiation. We chose the house we wanted and then Penny went into “negotiation mode”.  She gave the home owner reasons why they should sell to us and gave them 24 hours to make a decision.  She took total control of the process and closed on the house before other people could see the house and put in quotes.
• She worked well and had a strong relationship with the seller’s broker. There was good and direct communication.
• Penny is a lawyer and was able to assist us with documents. We did hire an outside lawyer and she communicated and worked well with him.
• Penny has strong relationships with the people at Ibis. They like and respect her and she was able to work well with the staff at Ibis.
• The closing process is full of ups and downs. We did all the necessary inspections which showed that the house needed a new roof, new heater for the pool, new electric panel in garage, mold in the den, etc.  She had the price reduced appropriately and was able to give us lists of viable contractors.
• Penny was available night and day. I would get upset about something and I could either reach her or she called back quickly.  So, I guess she also played the role of therapist.  Sounds funny, but this seems to be part of the process.
• Penny stays in touch with her clients. She has offered to introduce us to some of her other clients.  I don’t know if we will need this since everyone  has been so friendly, but it is a great option.
• I found Penny to be smart and honest. She was knowledgeable in most arenas, but honest if she didn’t know certain answers.  She would research issues and bring us solutions or facts.

I highly recommend Penny.  She was the best broker I have ever employed.  I had worked briefly with a different broker prior to finding Penny and was having an entirely different experience and parted ways. I am thankful that I found Penny and she has become a friend.

Conclusion: Although all brokers have access to the same inventory of homes, the purchasing process is entirely different with a bright, capable and experienced broker.  The reason for a successful outcome with less stress, was due to working with Penny Burke.

Andrea is an expert in this market. Andrea helped me find condominiums that could be leased out and that would generate good income. She helped me reduce it down to a short list of quality units and properly managed buildings with a lower flood risk status. Andrea was very diligent and responsive throughout the entire process. With Andrea’s resourcefulness and support I was able to quickly navigated through my critical steps of research & planning, analysis & due diligence, making offers & negotiating, assisted with making arrangements for title insurance & completing the contract, created reminders for deposits and other critical dates of the contract timeline, helped with coordination of various applications & inspections, assisted with establishing utilities accounts and then closing…all in roughly 35 days. Andrea is very talented! It was a great experience working with Andrea on this project and I look forward to doing it again sometime in the near future!

Juli McGriff, a Realtor with your firm, is an outstanding asset to Echo Fine Properties. Last year, when I was thinking about selling my investment Abacoa townhouse, I received a referral from a former work colleague and fellow Syracuse alum that Juli would be the perfect candidate. She did not disappoint. I’ve been around the block, so to speak, in buying and selling homes while moving around the country and I can honestly say that as a Realtor, and now someone I consider a friend, she rates an “11” on the guitar amp. (apologies to Spinal Tap) As you certainly know, the finest Realtors during the buying and/or selling process rise above all others and become much more than realtors to their clients. Juli did that for us while selling our townhouse. She was a supreme listener, superb communicator, honest counsel and just all around nice person. To say the least, working with Juli was an immense pleasure for my wife and I. She made everything so much easier, particularly with us living out of state. Please also let your staff know I appreciate the technology, social networking and integrity Echo Fine Properties brought to the table in marketing my home: with Juli being a part of your team, you are sure to reach even greater heights in the South Florida property market.
