During my twenty-seven year career as an officer in the U.S. Navy, my family and I were relocated to new duty stations on a regular basis. Those relocation experiences afforded us the opportunity to work successfully with many real estate professionals over the years. My wife, Cheryl, found Robin's robust and informative listing and we were impressed with the quality of the description and photos of the house. There was even a link to view the home via a YouTube video! We loved the house from the start and spoke to Robin that very day for over two hours as she answered the myriad of questions we asked. We scheduled a showing and prepared to drive the 1560 mile round trip from Lafayette, LA to Auburndale, FL. Upon arrival, as idyllic as 500 Lake Juliana Drive appeared, it became clear that the maintenance and upkeep had been vastly neglected due to a personal family tragedy suffered by the previous owner. We made an offer via a contract which was accepted by the Seller. In working with the Seller, Robin was exceedingly generous with her availability and 24/7 support as a friend in this transaction. For many days, she actively helped with packing AND cleaning; doing everything she could to support the Seller through this somewhat sensitive and challenging evolution. Our commitment to repair, renovate, and revive this lovely home is heartfelt, but, coming from out-of-state and not being familiar with reputable contractors or service technicians, our task at hand holds the potential of being daunting and unduly costly. Robin provided us with an inclusive list of several reliable, noteworthy contractors and technicians, all of whom responded affirmatively to being interviewed and giving written estimates. Cheryl and I attest that Robin went WELL above and beyond to assist both the Seller and the Buyers to bring this to fruition. Without Robin's 'true north compass' dedication to her profession, this transaction would not have been possible.
