My husband and I searched the internet from Boston seeking to buy a condo. We found a few properties that we liked. We contacted Marianne who set up a date and time to meet with us at our convenience. She kept in constant communication with us and responded to each and every email or phone call almost immediately. She took us to see every property we wanted to see. She gave us all the information about each one, taxes, condo fees, parking, safety in area and ease of finding banks, stores, etc. When we found the one we liked we simply told her and she put into action all the necessary paperwork guiding us through what we needed to do. We returned to Boston and finished all the legal paperwork and even the final signing and passing of papers over email. It was an unexpected surprise to be able to do this so smoothly but that is because Marianne did it all. But the best part of the whole thing was the communication factor. Immediate answers and guidance was the key to making it so effortless. We would highly recommend Marianne and in fact have already recommended her to many people who express interest in the Tampa Bay area. Aside from being so efficient and professional she has a wonderful personality and is so easy to talk to. Kevin and Fran McNeeley

He took care of the details, and kept us from feeling overwhelmed. James has become more than just a realtor, he is a family friend. You will not regret giving him a call!

Peter was proactive, responsive, efficient and effective throughout the whole sale process. He provided detailed, reasonable advice and follow-through for getting the property ready for sale, put together an optimized and extensive text, photo and video description of the property, diligently set up open houses and was there for every step in the negotiation, pre-closing and closing stages. I'd certainly recommend Peter and use him again in the future.

I want to take a moment to share our real estate experience working with Peter Ripa. We lost our home to Hurricane Helene in 2024. We had hoped to be able to rebuild our 1924 beautiful home but had to face the fact that there was just too much for us to take on with a 100 year old home. The thought of having to choose another house to live in was daunting. We rented and looked for over a year. Peter was understanding from the get go. He was so supportive, never pushy and always went the extra mile to help us with our search. He entertained us by looking at all kinds of homes and in different cities. We credit Peter with showing us a home that we may not have originally looked at. The home turned out to be impeccably move-in ready. The information he provided showed us how much he researched the area and answered questions we didn't even know we had. We haven't bought a house in over 20 years and dreaded the process. I still can't believe the level of communication Peter provided through texts and emails and how easy it is to use a Docusign program to complete paperwork online. We closed on our home Jan. 2, and couldn't be more grateful for everything Peter did to guide us through the process. His experience, professionalism and deep knowledge of Heritage Springs made every step feel clear and stress-free. Most importantly, we trusted him completely- his honesty, communication and community-first approach set him apart. If you're buying, selling, or doing both, Peter is the person you want in your corner. His expertise and genuine care made all the difference.

I have known Peter Ripa for many years but when it came time to buy a house, I was hesitant to go through him because I never really like to mix business dealings with friends because of the potential of something going wrong and I would hate spoil our friendship over something that goes south. Anyway, I know Peter well, and I know his commitment, (be it family or work), with everything he is involved with. He is quite possibly the most driven person I know so it made it easy to choose him as my agent. I simply trusted him and as expected, Peter did not disappoint. He informed me with every issue along the way and helped me understand in laymen terms anything that was difficult for me to process. Peter was very patient and never pressured me. He guided me through the process from beginning to end with my best interest in mind. If you are looking to sell or buy and want A+ customer service from beginning to end, I would recommend Peter Ripa. He is absolutely top notch.
