Mario has been a wonderful agent to work with. He’s a professional and caring agent. Highly recommend!

Mario made this process easy and amazing. He was honest and by us following his insights we got much more over what we originally were looking for. He is my first thought when we buy again in Tampa!

Mario made our home purchase the easiest process possible! Even with a short turnaround for finding and closing on a home, Mario went above and beyond to ensure timely and quality options for my family and me. I highly recommend him for all home purchases and he is extremely military friendly!

Mario was extremely professional the entire time I worked with him. He is extremely knowledgeable in his craft. He was always willing to share information to educate current clients, future clients, or those interested in real estate as a whole. He is very experienced and often gave contacts to cleaning services, lenders, insurance companies, etc. He was very timely and never missed any deadlines. We were able to close on our home more than a week early, and go through the entire home purchasing process in about a month. This include touring many homes in different areas all over Tampa. He is very friendly and is overall someone you can fully confide in no matter if you’re selling or buying. He was always a message/phone call away and sat with me throughout the process to ensure I was well taken care of. This included signing paperwork, negotiating, scheduling tours, and coordinating with other parties. Mario is also a military veteran coming from a very highly-skilled background. He brings that same drive to real estate and will get it done with absolutely no excuses. I would highly recommend him to be your agent, so look no further!

Mario has a superior work ethic. His motivation to ensuring his customers are taken care of is second to none. He put us first every single time, and his dedication to selling our home put our mind at ease during these stressful times where you have your mind being pulled in a thousand other directions. If I ever moved back to Florida, I would definitely call Mario again.

We met Mario at an open house for a home we were interested in. We made an offer on that home but our offer was not selected. However, after making a connection with Mario, we knew we wanted him to be a part of our home buying journey. He understood exactly what we were looking for and our sense of urgency since we also had our first baby on the way. Weekend showings were efficient and enjoyable knowing that we were in good hands with someone who really wanted to see us find our perfect home for our growing family. After just a few showings, we fell in love with a home that we thought was a little out of our price range. Because of Mario’s optimistic approach and skillful negotiation guidance, our offer was not only accepted but we also got an amazing home at an even better value. The perfect place to bring our daughter home to. Since the purchase of our home Mario has become a dear friend of ours and we will without a doubt use him for future purchases and recommend him to our family and friends.

Mario took time to get to know both me and my husband personally. He learned our styles and wishlist for our new home. He also brought up many considerations for our new home based on our current and future needs. I appreciate how dedicated he was to us finding our perfect place. He was continuously an advocate and represented us throughout the entire process, even now as the house is being built. 10/10 would recommend Mario to all of my friends and family.

Mario Banales has been our realtor from buying our property in 2020 to selling it this year, and each time has been beyond expectations. Not only is Mario professional and knowledgeable, but he’s also the type of realtor that can make even stressful points of the process feel smooth. I’m naturally someone who worries about everything and needs to know what’s happening every step of the way, and he was always one step ahead so that we didn’t even have a chance to begin worrying about any part of buying and selling. His work ethic is incredible. He was always on top of each step in the process, and if we ever had questions or concerns he did what he could to solve them immediately. He has a great team behind him including loan officers, handymen, cleaners, stagers, photographers, etc.. that also made buying and selling our property seem so effortless. He was able to get our property prepared to be on the market, create a beautiful listing, get multiple offers, and get us to closing in less than a month which was just fantastic and relieved so much stress of potentially having the process drag on. Theses no better words than to outright say Mario has been so amazing to work with, and if we (or anyone we can refer to him) ever need a realtor in the future he will forever be out #1 choice.

My experience working with Mario was unlike any other. He was very professional and listened to my wants. He helped me in every direction and always had the best intent. I will always recommend him. Mario went above and beyond.

Mario was always respectful, insightful and receptive to all discussions that arose in the sale of the house.

Mario truly was amazing! Sold my home in 2 days, after he led a coordinated effort to prep my home for an open house. Landscaping, cleaning, and staging crews, title work, he even moved a grand piano I couldn’t sell. Mario made my out-of-state move happen seamlessly. Throughout the process, Mario was always available to assist or answer questions. He has an A+ positive personality which made for a pleasant experience. I will always be grateful for his hard work and expertise in making the impossible happen. Mario was a blessing and now my forever friend!

We worked with Mario to purchase a plot of land. Mario went above and beyond throughout every step of the process. He was patient with us, extremely knowledgable, very proactive and made connections with so many key people while we worked to secure the ideal plot to build on. I would highly recommend Mario to anybody and we plan on using him in the future for any buying/selling needs. I'm sad we won't get to check in with him anymore - he's such an upbeat, positive and energizing person!
