We have bought and sold multiple properties through Raquel and wouldn’t do it any other way. Raquel is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the ins and outs of real estate. Raquels communication, work ethic and integrity make her absolutely a pleasure to work with every time. My husband and I have a very busy life style and Raquel made it happen from start to finish. I honestly was confident and worry free knowing Raquel and her company were handling our last home sale. We will forever be continual clients with her in our real estate adventures.

First of all, she was our realtor when we bought our first home 9 years ago. We appreciate that over the years she always kept in touch. When my husband and I considered selling our home and moving to different state we knew then that we need to contact Raquel again. Just like before, we are very pleased with the sale of our home. Raquel and her team at 1 Step Ahead Realty Group, LLC provided quality and personalized service. She would even answer our questions at any point of the day or evening and she stuck the timeline she established in selling our home. The photos of the home were top notch and the sales price was right on target attracting offers immediately. She put her heart in her work. Her work ethic, determination and knowledge are first class. We are not surprised that her company 1 Step Ahead Realty Group, LLC is doing so well. Raquel and the whole 1 Step Ahead Realty Group, LLC team are phenomenal. Thank you Raquel and 1 Step Ahead Realty Group, LLC! We are grateful for everything.

Raquel was able to assist me in a difficult transaction and had the knowledge and expertise to guide me through the whole process from start to finish. Highly recommend her!

It was our first time buying a property and Raquel made sure we got the one we wanted! Any questions we had at ANY time she answered within minutes. If there was a road bump she always knew what to do. She was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend Raquel to anyone who wants to purchase a property and have a smooth transaction!

Raquel went above and beyond when selling my home! She made sure everything was in line and that I got the best deal possible! She’s super professional and down to earth! Her trusted advice is what got me where I am today! 26 and owned 3 homes!! If you’re looking for a sign this is it! I’ve been using Raquel to buy/sell my homes since I was 21 and I will NEVER look any other direction because she’s done it every time!! Because of Raquel and all her advice I was finally able to get my dream home and purchase a new build! If you want a realtor that will not only fight for you but make sure you’re making a smart investment she is your person!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Raquel at 1 Step Ahead Realty. This was my first time buying a house and she made the process very smooth and safe feeling. She provided us with knowledge we needed to know as well as answering any questions we had. Also her communication and speed of getting stuff done was on point. Overall I highly recommend working with Raquel and 1 Step Ahead Realty!!!!

We entrusted Raquel with the task of selling our home and cannot be happier. Raquel moved heaven and earth to make the impossible, possible. Her level of professionalism was evident every step of the way and her ability to think outside the box and find solutions is superior to most. There's not another realtor that I would use in the Tampa Bay area! I highly recommend Raquel without reservation.

Given the state of the 2022 market we found ourselves struggling the find the right home. We went through a dozen agents and three times as many homes trying to find the right fit. Raquel was the listing agent for the home we ended up buying and after putting our offer in we requested she be the dual agent because we had so many issues with our previous agent. She represented both parties fairly and equally, helped with our mortgage application and even helped us find temporary housing during Hurricane Ian. She keeps her word and maintains availability and transparency throughout the process.

Great experience buying and selling with Raquel. Extremely responsive and detail oriented. Handled every detail with great care and a true personal interest. She is not only my realtor, but also the broker for my sister and a great friend.

Excellent market knowledge, communication and professionalism.

Raquel was so helpful, I was clueless, this was my first time buying a home. She guided me every step of the way! Ian forever grateful to her for all she did to help me!
