Monica is a rare real estate agent. Her expertise in both the market and transaction processes are unparalleled. We are seasoned real estate buyers and her work is exceptional. Not to mention she is a very nice lady.

This was our 3rd house in Lakewood Ranch, Monica coached us every step of the way preparing our comps and providing ideas for staging and prepping. When the days came for the open house, she had a team on hand to make sure the show went off without a hitch. We sold in two weeks and closed in 30 days. I am planning on using Monica for our search for the next house and I would recommend her to you as well. She knows SRQ and is a real Type A go getter!

Monica was hands down one of the BEST Realtors we have ever worked with. Our closing was difficult as this was a vacation home purchase, but Monica, made the whole experience a piece of cake, she was on top of both the sellers and our Mortgage company to ensure a smooth and timely closing! Monica is the ONLY agent we will ever use for any purchase in Florida - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

From the beginning of the sales engagement through closing, Steve was personally involved in every aspect of marketing my property. He listened to my thoughts, provided great advice, and executed energetically. Despite his numerous listings, he was always available to focus on my property. Thanks, Steve!

Eileen & Brian were quick to understand our needs and then executed to satisfy those needs and do so within our budget. Their deep understanding of local market dynamics and the geographic realities were foremost in our ability to find the right home, in the right location, at the right price. They were both professional and friendly in all aspects of working with us, with other agents, and the sellers of our property. They provided excellent advice and council in all aspects of the purchasing experience. We could not have asked for more and will be happy to refer our friends to the Gillen Group.

We were out of state buyers with scant knowledge of the general area we were concentrating upon. Pam helped us focus upon a specific locale and always answered our questions about the Florida process. Most important, Pam was always available, patient when we were frustrated and discouraged. In the end, we have a great home for our needs.

I chose Yvette because of her comprehensive knowledge of Bird Key and she did not disappoint. She has a keen understanding of the Bird Key market. She is enthusiastic, creative, and a joy to work with. She went out of her way to, not only facilitate a quick sale over asking price, help me solve ancillary items such as sale/consignment of excess home furnishings. Yvette always had a thoughtful solution for anything that mind stand in the way of a successful close. I highly recommend Yvette. I would gladly work with her again if the opportunity arises.

The entire process was handled perfectly from market analusis to price serring to evaluation of quites and closing. We could not have asked for nore professional assistance and we realized almost 30% over asking with no contingencies.!

I am not someone that would normally sit down and write a detailed review but the Gillens are so deserving of praise. My family had a bad week of home searching in the Tampa area. I decided we needed a break from the stress and decided to go to the beach in Sarasota and somehow ended up in Armand Circle. We then walked by Coldwell Banker and my says “there is a guy sitting inside, let’s go talk to him”. I was apprehensive but little did I know at the time that this was one of the best suggestions my wife had ever made. Absolute truth, we walked in and immediately felt like we had a friend in Brian Gillen. It didn’t matter that we didn’t have an appointment, it didn’t matter that we had not even agreed to use him as an agent yet. He sat us down and listened to us, that’s right LISTENED. He knew exactly what questions to ask and narrowed our search to 2 homes. The following day he found us our dream home. He even brought us around the community to show us what it was all about. We didn’t understand why he was being so nice and going above and beyond. We know now that’s just who Brian is. A genuine nice guy. We offered asking price on our dream home but after a long day of ups and downs we did NOT get the house. We had to return to Boston without a happy ending. We continued to communicate with Brian while we were back in Boston. We were once again not feeling confident that we would find the right home for us. Brian as always kept it positive, showing us other homes and talking to us as friends. Saturday morning 9:30am my phone rings and I see Brian’s name. I honestly debated about picking it up because I was so polluted with home searching. I picked up the phone only because of my respect for Brian. He says “ Do you still want the house because the other buyer’s deal fell through”. Needless to say we jump on our second chance for our dream home and WE GOT IT! We are in our dream home and loving it. The Gillens are now our friends and Simply the best
