Buying this home was an easy and pleasant experience.

I would highly recommend Larry Achtman to be your realtor. His courteous professional style was very much appreciated. My calls were returned promptly and his input was helpful and time saving. This was my first Florida property and Larry walked me through the process seamlessly. Buying this home was a pleasant experience.

Outstanding realtor

Larry was truly wonderful to work with! He is professional, respectful, very friendly, and incredibly easy to talk to. He is well‑organized and always on top of every detail. Larry responded promptly to our messages, emails, and phone calls — even on weekends and while he was on vacation. From day one through closing, he gently guided us through every step and offered wise and thoughtful advice on all aspects of the home‑buying process. He provided clear, concise instructions on who to contact and what to prepare for closing, and he communicated with the sellers patiently and respectfully, negotiating and arranging everything in a highly professional manner. We are genuinely grateful for the opportunity to work with Larry and would happily — and without any hesitation — recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic realtor.

Navigating uncharted territory

Fo me and Diane, it’s been 41 years since we purchased a piece of real estate and adding to this, in a different state 1,200 miles away. We came across Larry through a friend who represented him as his realtor and therefore went along with his recommendation. Larry kept asking us the right questions in order to understand our needs. Because of this, he helped us find what we needed and are now ready to begin another chapter in our lives as residence of the great state of Florida. Thanks Larry!

Best realtor for buying and selling your home!!

We reached out to Larry to sell our home and boy did we luck out!! He was incredible informative and so helpful with all of our questions. Most importantly he was honest with us and really looked out for our best interest in the selling process. We listed our home and wound up selling it in 2 days!! Then, Larry helped us look for a new home. We would up in a community building new homes and ours was just a few months from being done. He helped the ENTIRE process when things were delayed he was a great resource to tell us when we needed to escalate our concerns and when our concerns were just part of the market/building process. He always got back with us same day, sometimes even in the evening when he should have been relaxing with the phone off! I can’t tell you how comfortable we were with him as he guided us through both selling and buying and never made any of our questions seem silly, and I loved how he wanted to check everything before we signed it. That really just shows someone who goes above and beyond - my last realtor experience was nothing like that. I am so happy that we found Larry and have made a friend for life!
