Not only is it a joy selling homes, but then I get  thank you notes that make my day … and this is one of them:

“This brief testimonial should clearly convey the absolutely superlative performance that Vicki Restivo and all of her affiliates demonstrated on our behalf while selling our house in Palmetto Bay.

Vicki went above and beyond what our expectations were and she clearly facilitated everything to do with the process of marketing and selling our house. As individuals who live out of state, she also did an absolutely stellar job of allowing us to perform the entire process in absentia.

Her responses were prompt, thorough, and comprehensive. She gave cogent advice with regards to pricing, staging, and associated repairs and refurbishings that need to be accomplished on our house.

She tailored the pricing commensurate with market demand and expedited a great sale. Her use of technology, text, and the Internet kept us apprised of our pending sale on a perfect timeline.

Vicki’s professional and friendly demeanor were awesome. In our particular case, we were renting our property to tenants. Vicki immediately established sound rapport with our tenants. That was absolutely paramount to our ability to show and subsequently sell our house.

Moreover, whenever we encountered any hurdles that needed to be overcome, Vicki and her colleagues helped us to resolve any issues expeditiously. We were very fortunate to have someone of Vicki’s caliber and experience, especially in the South Florida market.

In closing (Pun intended!): We can pass on no higher endorsement for a real estate agent than what we have for Vicki Restivo. We sincerely appreciate all of her great help and due diligence on our behalf. Thanks & Kudos!

Finding the right house for any buyer can be (and often is) challenging …   This  one was unquestionably a challenge,  but worth every single minute.   It took almost a year to find.   And truly, it was such an honor and such a joy (not to mention, quite the education) to get to work with the incoming University of Miami’s Dean of Architecture, Rodolphe el Khoury … Here is a photo of the house,  found in the archives of Coral Gables … a treasured sliver of Miami.   This one-of-a-kind cottage was the perfect ‘find’ for U of M’s Dean of Architecture. After scouring new construction & high-rises in Brickell… lofts downtown… cottages, bungalows in South Miami, Coral Gables  and Coconut Grove…  modern architectural masterpieces which spanned much of Miami …(and after numerous serious purchase options) Read the rest of this entry »
