I could use recommendations of "amazing" realtors that you have all worked with.
We wanted to rent one more year, and then buy the house of our dreams. But our lease is ending quickly, and the homeowners are pressuring us to buy their home or double the rent. We definitely need four bedrooms and a pool, but more importantly, good school districts. So now our plan is to rent another home, buy the rental if possible, or buy outright within the next 6 weeks. Right now we are in the informational gathering state.
I have been out with a few realtors prior to renting this home. I have no patience for realtors who don't know the area, or who are trying to make a quick sale. I know exactly what I want & have bought/sold three homes in crazy markets. Our only confusion is whether to rent/buy in Winter Park or Oviedo (husband works in W.P.). If you know of anyone, I would appreciate a company & name of the individual -- number if you have it. I really do appreciate this website -- thanks!

WOW! I am overwhelmed by all of your helpfulness! I have to sort through all the names & where they are located. A few companies were repeated (also through private emails) -- so that's a good sign too. My husband is dead set against buying right now & wants to lease with an option to buy. I disagree, but that's another mamasource question for another time. I'm a compromiser. However, I must give you all a SINCERE THANK YOU for giving me some direction to go in. It is pretty overwhelming to be in a state where you don't have family or close friends --but at least I have a community of moms who are willing to offer their opinions & suggestions. THANK YOU!
Hi Tara,
Long time no talk....I have a great realtor and would recommend him to anyone. His name is Chuck Valence and he can be reached at ###-###-#### chuckvalence.com. If you do call him, please let him know that I referred you.

I have a FSBO in Altamonte springs, 3/2 with a pool and 2 car detached garage workshop - large fenced yard, big enough to store camper/trailer and swingset. A-rated Seminole County schools - Teague middle/Lake Brantley High. Family owned, need to sell due to death in family. All offers are welcomed! Please call ###-###-#### ask for C. if you'd like to see it.
I HIGHLY recommend Kler Miller from Olde Town Brokers, her number is ###-###-####. I was pregnant on bedrest with my daughter in NC and had to send my husband down alone to Orlando look for houses over a period of months. She is amazing in her knowledge of the area,input on schools (has 4 kids of her own from1 1/2 to 6ish) and really listens to your needs. She is great at communication and sent me school ratings, MLS listings and was very available, even for our crazy schedule. At the same time, she is NOT pushy crazy realtor so you can have real conversation with her and not feel as if she is just pushing for commission. I would recommend her to anyone. Give her a call, I know you'll be happy. Happy house hunting!!

Sue White of Remax Realtors in Oviedo! I moved to Florida from Delaware two years ago and was pregnant during house hunting. So I needed a realtor who was willing to go house shopping for me, take pictures, be my eyes, because I couldn't fly down to find a home! She basically picked my house for me and did a fantastic job! She is always helpful, friendly and easy to get a hold of. She listens to your needs and wants and does anything she can to get you what you want! I highly reccommend her! If I ever move again, she's definitely who I will go to!
Here's her email address as at the moment I can't find her business card: ____@____.com
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

She’s a fabulous real estate gal – very passionate about what she does and about helping people. She found us our home. It was just a vacant area with not a house on it and she picked out our lot for us. Turns out it was the most desired lot in the community and after we signed on it, they had a waiting list for it just in case. So, she knows what she’s doing!! She grew up here too so she knows the land. Here's her info:

Hi Tara,
I'm new to this website, but I have already got some great tips and help! My boyfriend is a realtor in the Maitland area. We live in Maitland and have a 1 year old boy. I know you probably think I'm partial as to his abilities, but he's been working in this area for a little over 10 years and he is very knowledgable. His name is Ty Bowie and his cell phone number is ###-###-#### if you want to give him a call to see if he can help. It couldn't hurt to try right? Hope this helps!

Hi Tara,
I am new to this Mamasource. Just sort of brousing through and found your request. Did you find a realtor yet? If not, sounds like we have a lot in common like the love for husband , family, dog, and coffee.
Call me ,
