EXCELLENT Based on 209 reviews Posted on Francesca SmithVerified I recently purchased a single-family home in Fort Lauderdale thanks to Heather, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Heather’s extensive knowledge of the local market, combined with her professionalism and responsiveness, made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was always available to answer my questions and provided valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions. Heather’s dedication and attention to detail truly set her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the South Florida!Posted on Mariann IngrasciVerified Heather’s expertise in helping us sell one of our homes was top notch. She has a successful marketing program which attracts buyers. She vetted every buyer and agent, to bring us a qualified buyer and successful closing. She worked tirelessly and honestly to keep us abreast about the market. She’s on her game. She knows what she’s doing and I’m using her again for 2 more homes I want to sell. If you’re looking for dedication, knowledge, enthusiasm and qualification then look no further.Posted on jjmcnicholas34Verified We have retained Gonzalo Vargas as our real estate agent in order to sell our condo in Delray Beach Florida. He did an excellent job. He guided us through the process, paying attention to our needs and requests. He answered every phone call quickly and efficiently. Mr. Vargas is a gentleman and a professional who managed to turn a usually stressful situation into a smooth and pleasant experience! Mr. And Mrs. James McNicholas.Posted on Avery WhiteVerified Gonzalo was an absolute pleasure to work with during the listing, showing and sale of our home in Coral Bay. After a very successful open house of just one weekend, we had more than seven offers, and accepted the best offer the Monday after the open house. I was amazed at how well he and his associates handled all phases of our sale. Gonzalo made the whole experience worry free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Gonzalo and his team of realtors when you are ready to list your home.Posted on Ralph PichardoVerified Gonzalo was a standout realtor in the challenging South Florida market of 2021. His deep knowledge of the area, along with his patient and understanding approach, made our home-buying process smoother than we could have imagined. Gonzalo’s dedication to understanding our needs, combined with his excellent negotiation skills, helped us secure our dream home in a highly competitive market. We’re incredibly grateful for his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in South FloridaPosted on Dianne RacekVerified Tom made the whole process, simple concise, and very quick! I recommend Tom over any other realtor, because he doesn't create excess paperwork and knows how to price your home to sell. We sold quickly in a market where it can be tricky to navigate. He kept us informed every step of the way and made the transaction easy and smooth. Have used Tom as our realtor a few times and plan on using him again and again! You will not be disappointed with Tom!Posted on lytlemichaelslcVerified Heather is awesome!! Super knowledgeable, made the process super easy, was very patient with us as we toured all over trying to figure out what we wanted. She was able to find us the perfect home and helped us negotiate a solid deal in a tough market. Look forward to working with her again in the future.Posted on marisa manning4Verified Working with Heather has been an absolute dream - from our initial correspondence to closing on our home. She and her team are reliable, extremely quick in communication and provide solutions to any and all hiccups along the way for purchasing a home. She is knowledgeable and available at all hours for any questions we've had. My family and I would absolutely work with her and her team again for any future home needs.Posted on ed dickeyVerified Heather and her team, Tom Carroll in particular, were professional, thorough, and super helpful. Their knowledge of homes, features, and neighborhoods was tremendous. They patiently guided us toward great properties always listening to our preferences and steering us in the right direction. Heather was especially helpful finding property that would minimize expensive insurance. This is our second purchase with Heather and team, and I can’t think of a better group to guide you through a successful home buying experience.Posted on tonyloffVerified We have used Tom in buying 2 places so far. We will use him to sell our condo in the near future. Tom is responsive, professional, and easy to work with. He represented our interests well. We highly recommend using Tom to buy or sell your place. He goes above and beyond for his clients.

Thank you.Posted on ARLU Tipple05/05/2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heather is the absolute best, top notch, professional realtor in South Florida. Heather made our move from the West Coast easy and seamless with her expertise and guidance. She knows everything about everything and anyone who's anyone in Pompano Beach (which is where we moved). She was able to help us narrow down what city to choose that would be best for our family and we are very happy with our house. Heather is ultra professional and driven and will fight for you till the end. She answers calls and emails immediately, and is 100% on it when you need her. She showed us homes via FaceTime within hours of us seeing them go online and we had offers in that same day. This is my 6th home in the last decade and I have worked with the #1 agents in each city and by far she is the best. I highly recommend using Heather, you will be happy you did!Posted on Daniel Chan29/06/2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heather is a perfectionist and a true professional! With her vision for your property and excellent marketing plan, she will exceed your expectations of what you can get for your property every time. Our home was priced at the top of the market, and she still got us an above-asking-price offer! She has a great insight into the market and exactly what high-end buyers are looking for. Her suggestions for how to stage and market our home made all the difference in our quick, above-market sale. Her work ethic and professionalism are second to none, and she and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her and her team!Posted on Christien Devechio01/05/2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heather was a wonderful agent and we would give her 10 stars if we could. She has went above and beyond to help us find a vacation home. She is professional and knows the area well.

We will definitely use Heather again in the future.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
