PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Buyers Representative
As your Buyer's Representative, we can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help you get financing, guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones.
Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then assist you through the entire process.
Sellers Representative
Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of a seasoned professional. I have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.
First, we'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS® listings.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I have delt with realtors in Florida for the past 40 years.I have bought and sold at least 20 properties and Must say that Michelle and her team at Paradise properties are top notch. In my dealings with them they always put me first and you can tell they are not just trying to make a buck like others I have delt with. They are so honest that they are more than happy not to make a deal and will tell you up front if they have even the slightest feeling something is not right.( Not just after a payday), and Their local knowledge is amazing .I would recomend them to anyone who prefers no preasure profesional's willing to go way out of their way for you over some one that just see's you as a dollar sign..

Kendal was our realtor in the purchase of our new family home and I have nothing but praise. She made the process very easy and took care of everything! She works hard day and night to make everything right. She was very prompt to get back to us with any questions or concerns we had and is very knowledgeable of the homes in the area and how the process works. I couldn't have done this without her and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor and will definitely be using her in the future to sell our old home. Thank you Kendal!

Marlene was dignified, knowledgeable, professional and worked with her team to provide input for a strategy that made perfect sense that worked out Amazingly! Marlene kept me on track with my goals for an out-of-state move, was on top of the process from all aspects and was so appreciated by me!

Melissa was simultaneously professional and warm from our first meeting. We feared activity would slow down when the pandemic hit shortly after signing the listing agreement with Melissa. Instead, she was full speed ahead...staging our property, creating virtual tours, and truly working harder than ever to make the sale. She constantly kept us updated on showings and feedback. Her dedication paid off in a quick sale very near to our asking price. We would recommend very highly working with Melissa as a realtor!
