Many of you know I’ve been wanting to buy a house here in florida and after several months of searching we finally found one we loved and decided to call it home. I closed on this awesome place Friday and I’m excited to start all my little projects making this house into a home. Housewarming party coming soon. 🥳🎉 There is beach access, entertainment room, hot tub, massive screened in back patio, master suite, kitchen to die for and over 2600 sq ft with an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings that I’m so in love with.
Thank you Renae Cooper for being so patient and the best agent. You’ve definitely exceeded all of my expectations and made the experience so much easier and less stressful. I’ve never seen an agent as responsive and hard working as you were with me. We’ve also gained a new friend and couldn’t be happier. Thank you again for everything.

April is a top tier buying agent! She is attentive, prepared, and knowledgeable about the market. She communicated efficiently with the listing agent, builders, and various services to get our home ready to our standards. We’ve learned so much buying our first home and we couldn’t have done it without her.

Would just like to say that Debbie Franklin was wonderful to work with. She made us feel like we were her only client. She set up showings for about 10 condo units that we were interested in. We are from Ohio and made the trip down and she showed us multiple condos and then she followed up with us the next day. She answered all of our questions if she was able and if she was not able to answer she found out who could and got those answers for us.
Debbie is very nice, professional and willing to go the extra mile literally. She drove us to a repair place when we came out of one showing and found we had a flat tire!
We would and will recommend Debbie for any future real estate needs for us or anyone else.

Our home-buying journey was transformed when we met Mario. Initially drawn to one of his listings, we quickly realized he was the perfect realtor for us. Living six hours away, we were overwhelmed by the prospect of finding a home, but Mario turned it into a seamless process.
He expertly curated a list of properties matching our desires, efficiently scheduling viewings to maximize our time. In just one day, we saw an impressive thirteen homes thanks to Mario's meticulous planning and coordination.
Mario's dedication went above and beyond. He became our staunch advocate, securing a house we thought was out of reach. His negotiation skills were exceptional, saving us time and stress. Mario's deep knowledge of the area and his outstanding communication were invaluable throughout the process.
More than a realtor, Mario is a trusted advisor and a friend. We confidently turn to him for any real estate advice. His genuine care for his clients is evident in everything he does.
We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a realtor who truly cares about their clients' happiness.

Wonderful realtor. Very knowledgeable of the entire North Dallas region (which seems to stretch to Oklahoma these days). Very informative and patient as well. She had all the answers to the tough questions and makes sure her clients get the best possible deal in this volatile market. She made us feel like we were her only clients over a 4 month period while handling multiple other transactions. Thanks to her we have our dream home in a coveted neighborhood. Thank you for an awesome house buying experience Brenda!!!!

Renae was awesome. Always professional but what separated her from other realtors I have worked with in the past was her responsiveness. Even on weekends she replied to my questions with a few hours, always. I appreciated her honesty as well when my questions were outside of the norm. She was honest and said “I am not sure” but every time she called me with the answer BEFORE I had to call her to ask if she knew more”…. I would refer her to my friends and family. She was a pleasure to work with.

She took the time to understand my needs, answered every question with patience, and guided me through the home-buying process with ease. Her attention to detail and negotiation skills saved me both time and money. I felt supported and confident every step of the way. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares and delivers results, Renae is the one to choose! Highly recommend!

Debbie was extremely patient and pleasant to work with! She showed us multiple condos and offered great advice. I would gladly recommend her to anyone searching for property in the area.

In my 28 years as an active real estate agent, I have had multiple brokers. Ed and April Couturier are by far the most professional, giving, and easy to work for brokers that I have ever had. They will drop what they are doing to work with an agent when the agent has a question or an issue. They return calls and texts in a timely matter(which in real estate is an invaluable personality trait). A lot of real estate brokerages will offer you the world to get you through the door, and then once you join them you are just another number. Ed and April treat their realtors like family. I recommend RE/MAX Freedom highly to any and all agents. Whether you are experienced or new, you will be treated with respect, and definitely NOT pushed aside once you join the company. Come aboard…I promise you will not regret it!!!

Renae helped my husband and I buy our first home. She was so patient with us as we brought our tiny baby along on our home tours. We had to take many breaks to feed the baby and we wanted to look at so many homes and she was so patient. We also had a LOT of questions during the escrow process and she was so patient and understanding and explained everything to us. She made the home buying process fun, stress free , and seamless. I highly recommend her as your realtor!

Upon completion of my Florida Real Estate sales license, I visited RE/MAX Freedom to learn more about how to get started in real estate sales. Ed and April, the Broker/owners, invited me to their brokerage and I have to say the "stars aligned" for me that day! RE/MAX Freedom offers a low stress but exciting space to learn and grow for new agents, as well as a stable and confident brokerage for experienced agents to really direct and succeed in their own business. Without pressure to attend endless meetings, or to meet unrealistic expectations, new and experienced agents have direct and immediate access to not only two Broker/owners, but ample office space and supplies/technology. Marketing and lead generation tools, client tracking and other valuable technologies are offered as well. Leads generated through the office are equitably distributed. For new agents, training is provided at a pace that best fits the agent, and experienced agents at RE/MAX Freedom offer to mentor new agents. RE/MAX Freedom is a GREAT brokerage to grow your real estate business without limits, at your own pace and with confidence that you are not working alone!
