Vanessa,

Meeting you was definitely a blessing.  You went above and beyond for me and my family and I couldn’t be happier with the services you provided.  Thank you for walking me through what I believed would be an arduous process.  At all times you kept me informed of what was going on and made the paperwork process easier especially since I live in Miami.  You were professional, thorough, and positive which gave me peace of mind that things would be handled properly.  And they were handled not only properly, but also fast and with little difficulty.  I will not hesitate in recommending your great services to whomever needs assistance in real estate.  I hope we can keep in touch and when I’m ready to buy again, you will definitely be the first person I contact.  I wish you and your team the best and much success.

I would like to take a moment to Thank you for the excellent service you provided Jacques and I during the search for our vacation condo. Your professionalism and kindness were much appreciated. Because we were new to this market and very uneasy at first, we consider ourselves lucky to have found someone as patient and trustworthy as you. You explained every detail and made sure that we understood. All of the references that you gave us turned out to be equally reliable and you even went out of you way to take measurements and pictures for us.  I would not hesitate in referring you to anyone who is looking for a home in Orlando. You went above and beyond our expectations from start to finish.

Thank you

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude for all the time and endless effort you put in to the transaction of our dream home. Vanessa you truly represented us with professionalism and class. 

You guided us through the entire process, from loan prequalification to searching for houses to making the offer and closing the deal. We credit you and your team with a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience. 

This is our second purchase of property, and never had we had such a pleasurable experience. As a real estate agent, you are savvy, personable and know the market inside and out. We never could have gotten our dream home without you. To reiterate, we are nothing but pleased with your expertise and we recommend you and The Barnes team realtors to everyone.

We just did not find a great real estate agent but found a friend. We are forever grateful and may God bless you more. Sincerely,

After deciding we wanted to look for a Florida house near Disney World, we then needed a Florida realtor who was well-versed in short sells and could work with out-of-state buyers and their son who lived in Orlando, who would be doing the house hunting. Vanessa Barnes of Keller Williams Realty of Celebration, FL was the answer.

Vanessa immediately took such great care of us and our unusual “long distance” situation.  All of us were able to pursue/comparison-shop potential properties with Vanessa’s easy to use website (www.SimplyFloridaRealEstate.com).  She went to great lengths to give us the best information regarding some of the unique procedures and challenges with buying a short sale, and she quickly learned our tastes and expectations.

Thanks to Vanessa’s preparation and education we knew exactly what to expect and that we might be in for a long wait.  In the event our offer would not pan out for us, we continued to schedule additional outings every few weeks.  Vanessa’s cheery, upbeat personality, professionalism, and infectious passion for her work (and her clients) was impossible to ignore.  She made what could have been a very tedious process fun, light hearted, and very informative.

Vanessa called weekly without fail to keep us updated on the next steps in the short sale “waiting game” which made us feel very comfortable and informed.

When we began the inspection process, Vanessa once again demonstrated “above and beyond” service by working with our scheduling/long-distance challenges, and making sure that she was available at the property to address any issues, concerns, and surprises.  We could not have been in any better hands.
 
After seven months there was a happy ending to this story as the first house offer we made was accepted, and it is now the Salmon’s home.
Vanessa was with us from beginning to end, and without her we could not have taken such a great journey. For a perfect realtor we recommend Vanessa Barnes at Keller Williams Real Estate Offices in Celebration, FL.

Vanessa,
 
I would like to take this time to thank you so much for all of your assistance in finding a house for me.  As a first time home buyer, the process can feel very overwhelming.  You always took the time to answer my questions and follow up with any other concerns I may have had.  Your response time to emails and phone calls was always prompt.  We discussed options together and I felt very comfortable with the process in going forward.  I never felt rushed or pressured in the process of searching for a house.  You would send me different houses that you thought I might like and the visits were scheduled promptly.  Communication was always great.  You kept me up to date with the timeline and anything that I needed to have completed ahead of time.  Vanessa, you were wonderful to work with.  I will definitely recommend you to anyone I hear who is looking for a new home.  I hope you will help me find my next house a few more years down the line!
 
Thank you again for all of your assistance.

Jaime and Vanessa Barnes made the arduous task search for a home a very pleasant experience. My fiance and I searched countless houses with Jaime and with seemingly endless patience. The Barnes team lent their expertise of real estate to ensure that we not only were able to find our home, but also to make certain that we understood everything involved in the process. They were a delight to work with day to day and worked around the clock to push the process as fast as possible. By the end of the search for our home, Jaime and Vanessa seemed less like our real estate agents, and more like our friends.

We were very fortunate to find Vanessa to be our agent. Being from out of state we weren’t sure who or what we would find when we decided to buy our property in Orlando, Florida. Vanessa has done so much more than what we expected an agent should do for a client. From helping us get the best deal on our mortgage to getting the best deal on a hotel room for the closing of our home. She even took a whole day out of her busy schedule to help us look for the best property management group we could find.

Vanessa advised us on the process of getting our house rented, guiding us through ever step. Every once in a while she even checks up on our property to make sure everything is okay.

It has been a blessing to have Vanessa work with us. She’s someone you can always count on. Whenever we call her, she’s always there to help, happily. She has become a friend who truly cares. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Vanessa is truly one of the best agents out there.

Words cannot even describe how amazing our journey for finding the perfect house was with Vanessa by our side. For a whole year, Vanessa patiently showed us house after house and made the entire process FUN!

She knew from the start which houses would suite my husband and me the best, and we ended up buying one of the first houses she ever showed us (those are some good instincts!) Vanessa was professional, punctual, always on top of things, and best of all, FUN! She was tough when she needed to be tough and relaxed when she needed to be relaxed, and most importantly, she always looked out for our best interests throughout the entire process of buying our first house!

I have never met such a hard worker that is so on top of things! Vanessa will not only help you find the perfect home, she will create lasting and fun memories throughout the entire process as well!
