“John and his team reached out to gauge my interest in selling my home at I time I had just started to consider it. I was recovering from major surgery, and they were very accommodating with the closing date and several other things. They made a good cash offer "as is" - so I didn't have to deal with last minute hiccups. It was a smooth and painless process that allowed me to move out of state to be closer to my first grandbaby!!”

“John contacted me directly via text message about wanting to purchase our home. At first, I was skeptical mainly because there are so many scams going around. I did a quick Google search to verify this was a legit company, and it is. I replied to his text and that is where our quick process of selling our home began. Simply saying this was an easy and painless process is an understatement. This process was undoubtedly the easiest real estate transaction we've ever done. John was not only kind, but he was also transparent, honest, and always available to answer any questions. He set everything up for us from the inspection to the Mobile Closing that came to us. Nicole from the title company they use was attentive, kind, and helpful as well. If you are looking to sell your home and want a fair offer and an easy stress-free process, this company is who you need to work with. If you can choose who you work with, I sincerely encourage you to work with John. I hope this company truly recognizes what an amazing asset they have with John working for and representing them.”

“I have done 2 residential home sales as well as a short term lease with We Buy St Pete Houses in the past year. Their team of professionals were friendly and prompt. I was a little apprehensive with my first transaction because I've never worked them before and many "we buy houses" businesses seem shady and tend to low ball the value of your home. However, they were the complete opposite. They were very fair with their offer and remained honest with their promises. I was impressed enough with them that I sold another home to them with the same satisfaction. I would happily and without hesitation work with them again.”
