Josh Wilson knows Wellen Park very well and was able to focus our search based on our specific criteria. Once we selected our home, he was key in the negotiation process. He knows all the builders and was able to save us a lot of money. He was with us every step of the way. He goes way above and beyond.
This is a house I bought for myself personally. It was a great deal and walked into some solid equity with this new construction.
We selected realtor, Josh Wilson, to represent us because of his vast knowledge of Venice and particularly Wellen Park. He and his wife are an excellent team. Josh had our best interests at heart and I would highly recommend him for his experience and calm demeanor.
From the start of our search Andrew's knowledge and communication made us comfortable making the purchase of our Florida home. Being out of state he communicated the process throughly and offered suggestions along the way. We highly recommend Andrew for his experience of the market which assisted us immensely in securing our dream home in Florida.
Kim is knowledgeable of the Venice Real Estate Market. She gave good recommendations that helped us sell the Condo. Her negotiation style meant that she remained on task, and relevant to the task at hand, rather than default to negotiating on the price. She was conscientious and always returned our calls, voice mails and text messages. She has a positive attitude which makes her a pleasure and joy to work with.
Josh often said "I'm here for you"--and he has been! We met him through a video he did about Wellen Park (WP). We called him as we wanted to tour the growing community. We had vacationed on the Gulf side of Florida and liked the area. He went the extra mile--starting with several long phone calls with us as we were in California. He agreed to spend a day with us touring WP and we fell in love with the Brightmore community. Within 2 days we decided to build a house--we were thrilled. We trusted Josh (very knowledgeable about WP) to guide us successfully through the process. He is an excellent communicator and stayed in touch through texts and phone calls. He offered to do the first walk through for us, and he accompanied us on the final walk-through and had a good relationship with the builder. He is warm, helpful and an absolute pleasure to work with. We liked his "can do attitude" and he referred us to local resources as needed. Nothing was too much trouble. We are so fortunate we chose him to be our realtor who became a friend. We give him our highest recommendation as an amazing realtor who exceeded our expectations. Our new home is beautiful and we are very happy.
Working with Jo Puster was an absolute blessing throughout the entire process of selling our home. Jo went above and beyond in every way possible to help get this deal together and across the finish line. Her passion, dedication, honesty, and integrity truly stood out from start to finish. Real estate transactions can be stressful, but Jo always made us feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, communicated exceptionally well, and genuinely cared about doing what was best for us not just making a sale. If you are looking for a realtor in Florida who is trustworthy, hardworking, professional, and truly invested in her clients, I would highly recommend Jo Puster. We are incredibly thankful for everything she did for our family. Ryan Yutzy
Maggie made the purchase of our new home seamless. She did all the work and we received all the benefits. She is extremely Knowledgeable on all things real estate.
Maggie began as our realtor- first in purchase and then in the sale but most importantly she became our trusted friend. Everything she said she did- very responsive to text and call. If we ever return to Florida, there will no questions asked- Maggie is our realtor!!
Uli was so persistent in making sure all the details were handled on our property. I highly recommend her—in fact we have used her five times already! That should speak volumes.
