Our experience together has been nothing short of exceptional. The vast majority of our time has been spent with Neil. He is a true professional. So easy to communicate with and a real pleasure to be around. We feel so thankful we met him!"

Thank you for your hard work. We really liked the way that you have been working with us. We now feel like educated buyers. Thanks!

"Dear Teddianne, We want to thank you for the professional and efficient manner in which you helped us find our vacation home. Your planning and attention to detail were apparent and appreciated. We most appreciated your listening to our preferences and your efforts to match the available properties to those desires. We are certain that were it not for your knowledge, we would not have successfully closed on the property. We will recommend you to our friends.

"Thank you Teddianne, You were wonderful to work with in locating our condo in Naples. You stepped right in at the last minute filling in for a coworker. We talked by phone from our home state on a Thursday and by Monday you met us at our hotel with an organized plan for a very productive day. You were honest, supportive and we felt we could trust you to guide us. You gave us time to figure out what we wanted without us feeling pressured. You are knowledgeable about the different communities and with your help we were able to make an offer by the afternoon of the first day! You pulled it all together in a short time and helped us stay focused to meet our goal. Thank you so much."

"Hi Teddianne, Thanks so much for your help last week. Your thorough, professional approach to managing our home search resulted in a very successful trip. This is an extremely tough market for home buyers. Having someone with your experience and knowledge working with us really helped us to make some very critical decisions quickly and effectively.

"I highly recommend Teddianne to everyone I know. She has helped me with the purchase of four properties thus far, and each time I've been impressed with her responsiveness, integrity and professionalism. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and prices, and resourceful when a problem arises. I wouldn't consider buying or selling a home without her assistance!"

"Well, we did it, we managed to see a bunch of properties and make 2 offers within 1 marathon weekend thanks to Teddianne! Words can't even express exactly how fantastic she was for us! Had it not been for her efficiency, incredible patience, and knack for knowing exactly what we were looking for we would have never been able to accomplish what we did in a day and a half in Naples. She was determined to find the exact property and community for us and she did it in leading us to Lely. We consider ourselves so fortunate to have been teamed up with her so a world of thanks to Teddianne for her high level of professionalism, she is top notch!"

"We were very impressed with the effort Steve Barker put forth in finding our new home in Naples. He went the extra mile to make sure we saw all the properties that matched our needs and budget. He made the process of buying as stress free as possible. Using the E- sign documents was an extra bonus. A great experience all around."

"It was a pleasure working with Steve Barker. He is a very knowledgeable and a very Nancy Flatauprofessioal real estate broker, very patient, and alway willing to answer all questions. It took me a while to find the right property, but he was always encouraging. I will surely recommend him to friends who are looking to relocate."

"We found you through Sheri's site, Longshore Lake, and Sheri has been extremely helpful from day one, when moving to Naples wasn't even a definite. While in New York Sheri sent us many listings for me to go through, which satisfied my need for immediate gratification. We had limited time when we came down to Naples, and Sheri pre-visited properties and made sure each one fit our criteria. She took us back to see the house we ultimately bought 4 times, and was really accommodating and wonderful. She even adopted our nickname for our house "pinkie", which I thought was really cute. Sheri recommended a great lawyer, Kevin Lottes, and the 2 of them made the process effortless. I would recommend Sheri and your company to anyone I know moving down to Naples."

"Special thank you to Sheri Neuman for guiding my husband and I at our first real estate purchase in Naples. I found Equity Realty via the web and was introduced to Sheri last fall. She set us up online with a search and helped us narrow down properties she thought would be appropriate for us. We traveled from Pennsylvania to Naples in November of 2013 to "just" look. Yeah right, we loved it so much that we signed the papers to purchase a home that very first day. The purchase was new construction in a gated community. We just recently closed on our home. We can't thank Sheri enough! We would highly recommend Sheri to all those folks out there that are looking for a realtor that listens, is patient, and is a kind caring professional."

"Gloria and I wish to thank you for the expert handling of our house purchase. You were always available and worked tirelessly to manage all the complications that arose. These were handled in a very professional manner and you achieved a solution that was fair and acceptable to both sides. We will have no hesitation in recommending your services."

Sarah Willig assisted us both with the sale and purchase of our homes in Naples. She was, in a word, awesome! Sarah answered every question we had in a timely, efficient, and professional manner. She worked with us to find a property that met our needs and was well suited to our budget. Sarah is very knowledgeable and an exceptional real estate agent. If we ever need to move again, we will call Sarah.

"Sarah was so patient helping my newly relocated Dad and stepmother. Due to absolutely zero technological devices, I was the go-between for all communications and Sarah took the arrangements in stride and accommodated our special situation which, I'm sure, could be very frustrating in a fast-paced market. Dad arrived in Naples on Sunday, Sarah took them out on Monday and by Saturday they made an offer which was accepted! She then walked them through a very fast closing. Sarah is very diligent, knows the market and is extremely patient. She went above and beyond in helping my Dad and his wife find their new home in Florida. Thanks again, Sarah!"

"From the start Ralph did a great job showing me different units that I was interested in purchasing. He was available and answered any of my questions in great detail and was available in a short period of time to show me units a second time. He was very knowledgeable of the marketplace and gave great insight on the development and property. I think the website was easy to maneuver around and have since put some friends of mine onto Ralph and the website. My overall experience was very positive and Ralph walked my through the process from day one. I would recommend him to represent anyone from my family or friends, and in fact have put my parenst and another friend in touch with him!"

"Let me start by saying that we were very pleased with Ralph. He knows Naples along with the pros and cons of the various areas. It had been over 20 years since Naples was within Lori's sales territory so Ralph's knowledge of all that had changed really helped us. As for Ralph's professionalism, there is no question. He was a gentleman throughout the process even when we felt that we were not finding a property right for us, but that was us, not him. His experience shows in many ways from knowledge of construction to the sales process to getting answers to knowing who to direct us to for various needs throughout the process. I, Angelo, found your website over a year before we actually started searching in Naples. We had lived in south Ft. Myers over 20 years ago and were researching all of southwest Florida for a place to retire to. I happened upon Ralph via a web search and we had several conversations back then that left me with a good impression. After becoming frustrated with the Ft. Myers/Sanibel market we decided to search Naples, so I recontacted Ralph. We will recommend Ralph with confidence to anyone who is searching for a property in Naples, and will use him again as our agent if/when we are ready for a different property in Naples."

"My wife, Judy, and I have recently purchased a condo in Naples, FL. It was achieved with the help of Josi Teeters. In past property purchases we have been left with bad feelings toward the realtors we have had. With that in mind, we were apprehensive about dealing with a new one, and from afar, as we live in Illinois. It was a refreshing and great joy to have come across Ms. Teeters. Her help in finding a place that fit into our plans and price range was exceptional. Our search didn't last long. She was very professional and knowledgeable. Her insightful referrals also led us to good people to do business with such as the inspection agency, bank, and insurance company. We would definitely be looking for her help again in the future."

I had been unsatisfied with a representative from a competing real estate company in that he was uniformed, no idea of where the condos were that he had lined up to be shown. No clue to the Association costs etc. It was a nightmare. I returned to Boston & went on line to find an alternative company that I could select when I saw your company & your name so I thought I would give your company a shot. Josi Teeters was my contact that was selected. Within 24 hours she had found what I considered a good possibility for my needs. I had friends of mine that live in Foxfire view the property with Josi. They were of the opinion that this was a realistic choice for me to see. I arranged to fly down within a few days & met with Josi to view the property. Since that day there have been over 50 emails sent to me, at least 30 phone calls & countless text messages. She has proven to be an extension of your vision of the perfect person to represent your company. When I contacted her whether by voice, text or email she always got back to me in a very prompt manner. When I had issues that I needed to be solved she had an answer if not, she never faked it she got back to me promptly with either the good answer or one that I feared. She never sugar coated anything, she was honest, concerned & consummately professional in every single thing that she did & I had total trust in her without reserve. You were a wise man the day that you took her on board to represent you. I hope that she stays with your company for a long time to come.

"My wife Janet and I live in Annapolis, Maryland and have discussed getting a place in Southern Florida where we could spend our Winter months and possibly relocate to, some time after we retire. Janet had been looking at the Equity website and Joanmarie immediately contacted her and that contact began the long process for us to purchase our condo. We had planned a trip to Sanibel Island in late January of 2012 and Janet contacted Joanmarie to set up a day to look at condos. We drove to the Equity offices, met Kip and Joanmarie, who then spent an entire day showing us several condos in several communities based on the emails that Joanmarie and Janet had exchanged over several months prior to our visit. That day was key for us to help narrow down what we did not want, as well as to convince us what was affordable and possible. After going through a similar but less intense activity in the West Palm Beach and Jupiter area with a realtor from West Palm, we determined that we wanted to make our purchase on the Gulf side near Naples versus the Atlantic side. Janet and Joanmarie had maintained occasional email contact but ramped up again as we approached our return to Naples in May 2014. We arrived at lunch time Sunday afternoon and at our request, Kip and Joanmarie spent several hours that afternoon showing us additional units and communities as we continued to change and refine our requirements. We started looking at communities with lots of amenities and then focused at communities closer to the beaches. We got off to an early start Monday and spent most of the day going from one place to another until we found the condo in the community that we zeroed in on. Kip and Joanmarie had actually packed some drinks and snacks so that we could focus on looking. I recall eating a granola bar and drinking a cold water while Kip tired to reach the listing agent of the unit we wanted to put a contract in while we were still parked in its driveway. We returned to the Equity offices late that afternoon and used the big screen in their media room as JoanMarie interactively filled in the required paperwork and contract information. They printed the contract, we signed it and went home for the day. We did refine some of the contract paperwork the next morning and then took some time to relax and enjoy Naples. We left for a week tp Orlando and Kip continued to coordinate a few remaining contract negotiations and amendments, but did so electronically from that point on. Over the next several weeks, as our contract advanced, Kip was continuously electronically sending reminders of when deposits and specific documentation was required based on the details of the contract. Any time a snag came up, Kip was usually the person in the middle ensuring that it was resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Kip also represented us during the home inspection and took care to quickly coordinate getting our contract amended to require that the seller cover the short list of issues that needed to be repaired. I am not sure if it is a requirement, but Kip and Joanmarie produced a video to document an inventory of everything that was purchased with the house (the house was already furnished and we purchased the furniture as part of our contract). They also participated on our behalf at the closing and produced another video of the home and its contents to verify the contents before and after. Finally, after the closing, Kip travelled to our community to deliver the keys for the home, garage, main gate, mail box, etc. provided at closing to a representative of ours that is watching our home during our absence. Working with Kip and Joanmarie has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. They have demonstrated a high degree of integrity and professionalism that is rarely found, especially within a two person team. Their combined knowledge of the area, units, and communities to include specifics about many of them demonstrated an in depth understanding of the area and the local real estate market. Their punctuality is a strong point. We never once waited for them and in fact, there was one time that we arrived near a meeting location an hour early and they dropped everything to try to get there to meet us even though we had indicated that we were happy to find something to do to keep busy. We also witnessed extreme patience on their part when dealing with our inconsistent requirements and lack of knowledge and they were quick to adapt to our changes in requirements. We have never purchased a home remotely in this fashion so we have no other personal experience to relate this specific purchase to, but I would say that I would return to Kip and Joanmarie in the future for any other purchases in the area. I would also recommend Kip and Joanmarie to represent any acquaintance or personal friend of ours. "
