I feel so lucky to have met and had the opportunity to work with Vanessa Franz Barnes, a Licensed Realtor serving the Orlando/Kissimmee area in Florida. In May 2010, my parents found themselves in a very difficult financial situation which required them to sell their home through a lender approved Short Sale. Since I live in Miami and the property was located in Kissimmee, the challenge for me was going to be in finding a local competent real estate agent who would work efficiently to list and sell the property quickly. I sent emails to several real estate agents in the Kissimmee/Orlando area asking if anyone would be interested in assisting me with the sale of my parent’s home. Vanessa was the first to respond to my email. I found Vanessa by sheer luck (or destiny) through a search on the Keller Williams Realty website. I never actually met Vanessa in person. Since I lived four hours away by car, it was a blessing for me the fact that we were able complete the entire transaction by telephone, email and regular mail. Vanessa sold my parent’s home in record time. The property was sold within 60 days from the date listed by Vanessa and at a price the bank approved. Vanessa was remarkably professional and responsive throughout the entire process. I would, without hesitation, recommend Vanessa to anyone with any real estate needs in Central Florida. Vanessa is truly a gem. It was refreshing and my honor to work with Vanessa. Thank you.
Best regards,
