After more than ten years of real estate transaction together and through the sell and/or purchase of several homes, I would feel less confident of the outcomes if anyone other than Coleen was guiding me through the processes. Knowledgeable, 'real world' support and her great sense of patience helped me navigate the challenges of out-of-state ownership of property in Florida. Having an ally who successfully markets properties based on my goals and market circumstances is invaluable. Coleen Garner managed a complex purchase for me just two months before I decided to sell this house. Imagine you have a very good friend helping you sell your property. That's how I felt without hesitation when the decision was made to sell this house with Coleen as my agent. Coleen Garner handled everything required to advertise and sell the house. She took the pictures, met with various vendors, accompanied prospective buyers, oversaw all repairs, everything. It was reassuring to know that Coleen, the "Professional", was guiding and helping me through the process, again. ~ Ron Bagley, Los Angeles, CA

Coleen as an agent took the sale of my home not only professional but personal. I live 150 miles from the home and am unable to drive that distance therefore she had to oversee all improvements to the home, appliance installs and even some clean up that was required after a particular incident. Coleen kept me informed throughout the listing of progress of work being done to the home and each step of the sale. I asked her at one time if she ever took a day off she would call me after hours and even on Saturday or Sunday to keep me informed. I would highly recommend and refer Coleen She is a very delightful person to deal with ~ Deby Walker, Tampa

Her coordination with the title and mortgage companies and the condo association throughout the whole process was outstanding. Thank you, Coleen, for doing an awesome job of helping us and for treating our son like one of your own! We would highly recommend you to anyone who would be in the market for a new place in Tampa. We wish you much continued success! ~ Mark and Patricia Domyan, Wescosville, PA

We picked Coleen pretty randomly, just from the flier she sent out. But we are out of town and had just decided to sell, so I called her. It did not take much phone time to realize I was going to comfortable with her. What I did NOT realize is what a gem she is! A couple of things happened between the decision to list and the sale closure -- just bad luck -- and we were EXTRAORDINARILY fortunate to have her handling things for us. I unequivocally recommend Colleen to anyone considering a realtor. On at least two occasions, she went above and beyond what I would expect from even the most professional of realtors, and we are very lucky and grateful to have found her. ~ Jack Brawner, Naples FL (condo sold was in Tampa)

Fantastic to work with! I knew when I asked Coleen to help me sell this property that I would have a professional interaction. She ensured that all aspects of the process were understood.

I wholeheartedly recommend Coleen to any person or entity interested in pursing, any type real estate transaction in the Tampa, FL area. She knows the area well and has always produced results in a timely manner.

The result was a sell and a virtually seamless closing. ~ Ron Bagley, Los Alamitos, CA

Over that past 7 months we have grown in our knowledge both as a buyer and seller of local real estate. Coleen Garner has lead us through this process and we are so thankful having her as our real estate professional. Even after our purchase of a new home here in Tampa we both felt that Coleen's knowledge and market awareness would result in a sale of our condominium. Her market survey and estimated period for showing our property was right in line with her projections. We were very pleased with her handling of all the contracts and nuances that delay or cause delays but none of this occurred during our Tampa purchase or sale of our Pinellas condominium. She is a consummate professional. We know that if we decide to purchase another property, we will call Coleen first! ~ Frank Sullivan, Tampa, FL
