Testimonials

I want to take a minute to let you know that today I sold one of my favorite buyers, who already have a home in Olde Naples, a condo at So|Ce Flats and it was all due to Shannon May. I called her weeks ago randomly to ask her about the development. I did not have a single buyer interested in the project, but she was kind and very knowledgeable and when I realized she wasn’t brushing me off I relaxed and felt very welcomed to come and look at the project at any time. I was having lunch with the buyers and I asked if they would like to look at So|Ce Flats. I never in a million years would have asked them to go with me if I had not spoken to Shannon weeks before and remembered her warmth and kindness. We met today outside So|Ce Flats, the buyers had no intention of purchasing, just touring. By the time Shannon was finished with her informational tour and answered every question in perfect detail, they decided to buy immediately, right on the sidewalk. The contract was signed and a deposit was wired on that day. Nothing has ever surprised the buyers or me more. In a year of much loss, sadness, and despair today, we felt the hopefulness of 2021. It is with the deepest gratitude that I thank you for executing such an incredible project with a team in place that is setting the standards for excellence. Warm Regards.

Very professional and always responsive and in constant contact with both buying and selling. We had two transactions, buying and selling, and through all the variables and things a real estate transaction can encounter it was so good to have them working for us (I sold a home on my own several years ago and it turned out to be a nightmare, so glad I paid to have someone else deal with the legalities and buyer this time). On the sale of our unit, Andrew and MaryAnn helped us determine things to do or not necessary to do in our condo to make the most in the current market (and they were right) and it sold with multiple offers in two days. They were especially helpful in the stressful part of the sale of our condo when the Covid-19 way of life hit about a week before closing and our buyer was considering backing out, but miraculously they helped make it happen and we closed as planned. On purchasing another condo, I was also glad to have the Darda group represent me, I found realtors commission comes from the marketing department of the big builders so having them represent me in negotiating the deal saved me money, and we were confident in what we were signing. I have bought many homes over the years and they are by far the best group I've worked with.

I had the pleasure to work closely with Shannon May when she represented 11 new construction developments exclusively listed by my brokerage “Majestic Properties in Miami Beach. All of the developments were cutting edge with many offering the loft concept that we pioneered in the late ’90s in South Beach and North Beach. Shannon was always a consummate professional, investing the same level of attention in a $250,000 loft sale that she did in an $8,000,000 direct oceanfront condo sale. Shannon rightly earned a reputation as a top-selling realtor within our 200+ agent firm. Shannon was always at the top of my list when selecting agents to represent our luxury developments. She possessed excellent presentation skills and an enthusiastic personality that my developers treasured. Shannon was a valued asset to my company and I would highly recommend her to any developer or broker looking for a top-level sales professional with a stellar sales record.

Kaleena Figaro handled every detailed aspect of my home sale with an incredible level of engagement and kept me informed of every relevant step of the transaction. Kaleena was proactive throughout the process and constantly took the initiative to take action when other professionals involved in the deal were not moving things forward. Most importantly, Kaleena proved to be an excellent negotiator and her knowledge of the local market was second to none and enabled her to negotiate fairly and aggressively. In addition, Kaleena's employer, Compass Group, did an excellent job keeping me informed of key steps during the transaction. At the end of the day, Kaleena got the deal done on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption to all involved in the deal. I would not hesitate to recommend Kaleena Figaro to anyone looking to sell or buy Residential Real Estate in SWFL.

I am reaching out to share with you what a great experience I and both of my buyers had with Shannon. She is the major factor of why both of my buyers picked SoCe over the other properties that they had considered. Within an hour of submitting a showing request, Shannon called me directly and walked me through every detail about the building including concept, finishes, and unit options. She made herself available to any time that worked for both of my buyers and spent over an hour half with them onsite. She had answers for every and I mean every question my buyers inquired about the building. She went above and beyond to sell these properties and is still assisting both of my buyers with the many questions they have concerning rentals, etc. You are very fortunate to have such a great agent representing your project. Looking forward to hopefully bringing more clients to SoCe.

The Helgemo Team is the team you want to help you when you are relocating from out of state. Working with them for over 15 years with their customers, I get feedback on what customers liked or disliked about the home buying process. The advantages of using their team are the knowledge base, the supporting staff to guide or assist thru the process, and the negotiating skills that you don't see in other realtors that give you the upper advantage. The difference I hear from customers is they felt like they work for the buyers and treat them as one of their family members. There is a lot of choices for realtor representation, but I highly recommend you have the Helgemo Team at Compass as one of the teams to work with.
