Testimonials

Little Slice of Paradise

5/5
Upon impending retirement, my husband decided to shop for a home on Pine Island. We were put in touch with Staci Stevens. She was very engaged from the beginning, asking pertinent questions about our priorities and also giving us a wealth of information about options that quite frankly we never would have thought to ask. She showed us many properties both via facetime walkthroughs, personally narrated by her, and also physically on site. She always returned our many calls promptly and professionally and eventually led us to purchase our own "little slice of paradise."

Living Our Dream

5/5
We were looking for our dream home in Southwest Florida and knew we wanted someone who knew this area inside and out. Staci was amazing to work with! She answered all our questions, booked every home tour that fit our needs and negotiated a great deal for us. As first-time home buyers, we were completely lost on how this process works and thankfully had Staci to guide us along the way. We are now living our dream in paradise thanks to Staci Stevens!
