Jose was outstanding from start to finish. He was always informative and made the entire process smooth with no issues. He went above and beyond by helping us get access to the home before closing so we could prepare for updates, which made our move-in much easier. Jose handled the entire transaction with professionalism and friendliness, and even after closing, he has continued to be available—always picking up his phone and helping with any questions we’ve had about the home and the neighborhood. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Jose to anyone, especially if you’re looking in Avila.

Not only is Jose the best realtor ever, we consider him a friend. He has a great process. We had so much fun with Jose and he knows everything there is to know about design, real estate, staging, Tampa and all the surrounding areas.
