BEST OF THE BEST! Shawna and Gisele are absolutely amazing. They are the definition of professionalism and their expertise in real estate is unmatched. I started my search for my first home last year, during an extremely competitive market time in the Tampa Bay Area. As a young adult with limited resources, this was a tough market to be a first time home buyer in with the budget I was working with. I knew NOTHING about real estate or investing going into this. From the first time I spoke with Shawna on the phone, she was extremely patient and willing to explain things to me as someone who lacked knowledge of the industry. From the get go, they were both 100% honest with me. If I wanted to look at a house but the neighborhood was bad, they would tell me. If we walked into a property and they noticed something wrong that I did not notice, they would tell me. If the property was overpriced and not a good deal for me/my goals, they would tell me. Quickly I realized how much they truly had MY best interest at heart. Regardless of how long it took, they were determined to help me find the right fit. We did this for over a year. We saw probably over 100 properties and they never gave up on me. Of course I wanted a move in ready place within my budget, but as time went on, with their education and advice, I altered my mindset and was able to understand that with this current market, I would have to be more flexible and open if this was something I really wanted to do at this time. After a few months of working with these two amazing women, I knew I could trust them entirely and throughout the whole process, I knew my best interest was top of mind. I am so thankful to have the most passionate, dedicated, honest, and hardworking realtors out there. If you are looking for realtors with a PEOPLE first mind set, who will not give up no matter how long or hard the search gets, who will always be honest with you even if it's not what you want to hear, NextHome is the place for you. I will never work with anyone else! Shawna and Gisele, thank you so much for helping me find my first home!
