Buyer of 20641 Northwest 166th Place, High Springs
We vetted a number of agents before we found Joan. None met our high expectations to act as our buyer agent; we wanted a proven track record and someone with deep knowledge of the local market. We were fortunate to finally locate her profile online, and when we met in person she was exactly who we needed. She understood our needs and wants, and helped us go through the process of refining our vision of what our next home should be, and ultimately buying it. Her personality and communication skills were perfect for moderating the highs and lows of house hunting. She remained grounded and was a positive influence throughout. When we got down to the negotiation stage, she helped us put together a deal that was a win-win for both buyer and seller. We would heartily recommend Joan to anyone needing assistance buying or selling a home in the Alachua region.

This experience can be difficult for a senior on their own. Joan handled it with care and professionalism! She was always positive and communicative about what was going on. She helped at all steps of the process from suggestions about staging to the cleaning at the end. I could not have picked anyone better as my agent. She was quick responding to any contact. She handled any issue that came up calmly and with experience. If I had to do this again, I would pick her without question.

Always available. She will find the answers if she doesn’t already know the answers. She is very knowledgeable and has the resources for pretty much everything, from helping you follow tedious instructions for a wiring process to the simplest of steps for transferring your utilities. Extensive market knowledge no matter what part of the county you are asking about. Extremely professional and at the same time super personable keeping you at ease at all times

Buyer of 3609 SW 97th Way, Gainesville
After our last home-buying experience, which was honestly a nightmare filled with poor guidance, lack of support, and constant stress, we swore we’d never go through it again. We were completely discouraged about ever buying another home… until we met Deena. From the very beginning, Deena was different. Because of what we had been through, we came into the process feeling hesitant and guarded and she embraced that in a way that surprised us. She met us with honesty, transparency, and a level of integrity that is incredibly rare. She never pushed, never pressured, only guided us with what was truly in our best interest. By the end, we trusted her wholeheartedly. We walked in thinking we knew exactly what we wanted and even had one specific area in mind, but her deep knowledge of the market completely changed our perspective. She gently steered us away from the only place we thought we wanted and into what became our dream neighborhood. She took the time to truly understand us..our lifestyle, priorities, and what would make us happy long-term. The homes she found weren’t even on our radar, yet they turned out to be exactly what we had been searching for. When we found the one, she negotiated a deal we didn’t think was possible. Her responsiveness was incredible. No matter the time or question, she was quick to respond and made us feel like a priority every step of the way. Most importantly, she made us feel safe and supported and knew she had our best interest at heart at all times. Where our previous experience was stressful and overwhelming, this one felt seamless, calm, and even exciting..it was the smoothest transaction we’ve ever had. Deena didn’t just help us buy a house, she restored our faith in the process. She’s exceptional at what she does, but what truly sets her apart is who she is as a person. Her honesty, integrity, and genuine care are unmatched. Nobody will stand on the front lines for you the way she will. We are endlessly grateful.

Deena is a complete sweetheart and very easy to work with. That being said she is an absolute workhorse who will stop at nothing to get done what you need of her. From beginning to end, she was thorough, forthcoming, and honest. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in the area.
Seller of 3498 Southwest 111th Drive, Gainesville
Deena helped my husband and myself with a corporate move. She worked with us to get our house on the market expeditiously and created a beautiful marketing photo album. Communication at times was difficult as she use voice texts often that were not comprehensible. She worked hard to get the sale over the finish line. We are very disappointed with the final price, but I don’t really believe that’s was in Deena‘s control.

I have so many positive things to say about my experience working with Faith and Aimee! My company was looking to start a new branch, and we knew wanted to start it in Newberry, FL. However, we had A LOT of questions about the area and the process. We were very fortunate to find Team Oelrich to help answers those questions. Throughout the entire process, these two were helpful, professional, and speedy. They worked hard to schedule everything within any time constraints we had and always brought a positive and thoughtful energy with them. As we look do more in the Alachua area, I hope to work with them again!

Claudia was with me every step of the process. She helped sell my previous home quickly. Her suggestions and advice is the best. This home purchase was made easier due to Claudia’s eye for detail and staying by my side through the whole purchase. I can’t recommend Claudia enough to folks who want to sell or buy a home.
Seller of 69/2960 Southwest 35th Place, Gainesville
Claudia Hardy was excellent all throughout the process of selling our condo in Gainesville. We live out of area and Claudia made sure the condo was ready for showing, marketed the condo effectively and got us through a very quick sale with ease. This whole process from realtor sales contract signing to closing was completed within a month and a half, which for us, was an amazing feat. I highly recommend Claudia Hardy for any and all real estate needs.
Buyer of 5022 Northwest 34th Terrace, Gainesville
We loved our first time home buying experience with Claudia! She really listened to what we were looking for and we never felt pressured into making a decision we were unsure of. Claudia answered our many questions about the whole process and made everything as easy as possible. Plus she was so flexible with our busy schedules when it came to both communication and showing us properties.
