John helped us sell our existing home in Babcock Ranch while simultaneously purchasing another in the neighborhood. John helped us through every step of the process making the transition as stress free as possible. If looking to purchase or sell We highly recommend working with John!
This year, John helped us buy a house, sell a house, and buy/build another one! He's truly the best real estate agent we've worked with (and we've done a lot of RE transactions) because not only does he know the SW FL real estate market (especially Babcock Ranch) and has great instincts about real estate, he's also funny and personable and great to work with. Here's an outline of the 3 transactions. First, we knew nothing about Babcock Ranch and learned of him through his Facebook Group. When we reached out, he spent a lot of time with us on the phone and was extremely informative about the area and the available alternatives. His orientation from afar saved us a lot of time since we wanted to do most of our looking from our home up north. When we finally came down for the site visit, he gave us a very efficient but thorough tour of the Ranch and had already gotten us an appointment with a sales guy for Pulte. He steered us through the process and we were able to secure our contract to build very efficiently, where we had heard horror stories re: buyers.While the home was being built, he took drone photos and went with us to the final inspection. Here came the fun part. Due to a change in family circumstances, we decided the house we built was too much for us, so we decided to sell. John outlined for us the alternatives, including renting it out, etc. but ultimately decided we needed to sell...and we gave the listing to John. So glad we did. He totally guided us to the right price (I wanted to list it for less, but he convinced us to go higher). Our first buyer fell through and John convinced us that it was just a screwy buyer and we relisted. He talked me off the ledge a few times and we got that price within a few weeks...we were thrilled. AND then the final transaction of the year was he helped us put in an offer for a smaller property. We have found John to be extremely responsive throughout all these transactions and I highly recommend him.
Let me just start by saying this is the third home I’ve Bought… finally decided to leave Illinois for sunny Florida found beautiful Babcock ranch and John Garuti walked me through the process John is by far the best real estate agent I’ve ever dealt with he answered all my question attended to all my needs I was in Illinois so it was tough for me to get out there he would go to the house take pictures videos constantly updating me on the process of my new home!! me and my wife and daughter couldn’t be happier definitely would recommend John to anybody not only is he the most knowledgeable agent I’ve ever dealt with but a true class act!!! Have recommended him to a lot of my Illinois friends who wanna try to make the move down here thank you John!!
John got the job done and was very knowledgeable with what was going on in the market and how to list our home. He definitely brought in a ton of people for our home and got it sold!
We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to guide us through our first home purchase. John went above and beyond to help us find exactly what we wanted, and exceeded our expectations in terms of knowledge and communication. I honestly don't believe we would've gotten our dream home without him! I highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone in the area.
From the beginning I was treated like family. I wanted someone who was familiar with the community (Babcock Ranch). Trust me I asked my share of questions. John always came through with the answers. Very knowledgeable of the community and how the process works in Babcock Ranch, which is very important. I wanted a realtor that worked for me not the builder. He made the entire process painless. I didn't just gain a great realtor, I also gained a great neighbor and a good friend.
I rarely write reviews but have to about my experience with John. I have worked with no less than 10 realtors and John is absolutely the most organized and thorough realtor I've had the pleasure to work with. I actually wanted to buy another investment property and John gave me all of the reasons I didn't notice why it was a bad investment for me. He wasn't worried about his commission he put my interests ahead of his commission. I highly recommend John Garuti!!!!
He always would go out of his way to help us find what we wanted and has great knowledge of houses and the businessin general..I consider him a friend now
When we were looking for a buyer’s agent for our purchase in the Fort Myers area, I found John’s YouTube videos about Babcock Ranch and found them incredibly helpful. John showed us all around the area, but he was right that Babcock Ranch was the best choice for us. He worked with us in an incredibly competitive market to get just what we wanted. John helped manage the whole process even though we were out of state. We are now happily enjoying our SW Florida lifestyle and looking forward to many great years at Babcock Ranch. If you need an agent in this area, John is the best!
John was very helpful on the market knowledge for the area we bought in. He gave us options within different neighborhoods to help us decide what fits our budget best and when it came down to bidding on the house he was very helpful and ultimately won our bid on the first time! Highly recommend John!
John did the due diligence to give me, the seller, the highest asking price but not over priced for buyers. He kept me informed during the process and was always very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend you contact John whether buying or selling your home!
No one knows Babcock Ranch like John! His knowledge of the market is top notch and his professionalism can’t be beat. John sold my home in record timing for an unbeatable price and helped purchase my new home with the same skill and ease. Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else, John Garuti is where it’s at.
