WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

The buyers

  • "Raffaele was the first agent I contacted when we were considering moving a very long distance. From our first call, he made me feel so comfortable that I knew we had found a good match. He wanted to make sure he had exact details to search for a home specific to our needs. He was very patient with us, as it had been a while since we’d purchased a home. Raffaele is a fountain of knowledge and I would highly recommend him as a real estate agent. Great job at negotiating for a lower price when the appraisal came in under sale price! We were communicating with a three hour time difference and he was always available for our calls. Very responsive! Overall amazing experience in finding our beautiful new home!"

  • "Raffaele was absolutely exceptional as our real estate agent. From meeting us at 7:30 am on a Saturday morning to start our search, to visiting multiple properties in several communities and cities, to being our “tour guide” through the county! We couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help us through our search. We have found, with Raffael’s assistance, the perfect home for us!! Thanks Raff!!"

  • "From our first meeting with Raf to 9 months later, I struggle to describe just how happy I am that we had the opportunity to meet Raffaele Villella. My story may be a little different, in that I and my wife felt rather confident in what we were looking for. Having spent the last 8 years visiting Venice we had determined exactly what neighborhood we wanted to be in and what our ideal home needed to consist of to be considered, basically we were looking for “a unicorn.” Even though we had convinced ourselves we were ready to buy, I am certain that in today’s market, had it not been for Raf’s “never wait for luck to happen, go make it happen” approach we would still be searching. Raf never showed signs of fatigue or frustration at all, it was always just a matter of time with him before we find our unicorn."

    Past Client

  • "I’m not sure how many realtors put out mailers on your behalf these days, nor do I know of any that are willing to go door to door dropping off marketing material on your behalf to homes that fit the bill. It is that drive, combined with his easy to talk to communication style and a never-ending desire to just engage people, that make Raf a great agent. Now even after the sale is complete and closed, we constantly communicate, and he continues to go above and beyond relative to helping us get landed in our new Florida home. If you’re looking for someone who is willing to go the extra mile over and over on your behalf, then Raf is the agent for you."

  • "Working with Raffaele was an absolute top of the line experience. His depth and knowledge of the various areas in Florida and the real estate market in each of them was amazing. He was able to guide us to the right area that met our requirements and help us find the perfect home. Raffaele's attention to detail led us through the entire process without so much as a hiccup from opening offer through closing day. In the process he has become more than our realtor, he is a lifelong friend. If you are looking for the best person to help you your new home or sell your current one, you couldn't be in better hands."
