Al and Jen recommends Jan Bruzas

Just wanted to say how much we appreciated the help of Michael in finding and purchasing our new home. Throughout the process he was professional, responsive, and even better, very patient with us as we eliminated and sorted through the housing and location choices. He is a great communicator with extensive knowledge of the area. And in the end he did a great job representing us to the sellers. Even after the sale he has continued to stay in touch and support us through the move in process. A great realtor and now a great friend. !!!

I worked with Michael Bindman on the purchase of my first home. He helped me every step of the way, finding me my perfect forever home. He answered any question I had and was very quick to reply to my calls and emails. He turned what could be a scary time into a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to work with a realtor! A ton of experience and a great sense of humor to help with the stress. Thanks Michael!

Jan did a wonderful job of marketing our home. She wrote a great description for the listing and provided some helpful tips on staging it to highlight its features. Our home was under contract in 11 days. Helpful, responsive and professional - Jan knows her stuff and I would not hesitate to work with her again!

Sandra Seeger recommends Jan Bruzas

Jan was an incredible help in both selling our home and in finding our new home. She was friendly, down to earth and very compassionate about the stressful experience of buying and selling a home. I would highly recommend her in both capacities. She did an excellent job of keeping everything organized and her communication skills on both sides of the table were on point.

Gina Vivinetto recommends Jan Bruzas

Jan Bruzas is simply the best. I sold my 1920s St. Pete bungalow in August 2017 with Jan and she not only got me a fabulous price, she made me feel safe throughout every step of the process. Selling a home you've owned for two decades can be an emotional experience. Jan was wonderful about keeping things running smoothly and explaining each step to me. She had my back. On top of that, she was charming, witty, and just great fun to be around. I highly recommend her.

If you are considering buying or selling a home don't waste your valuable time looking for a realtor!
Jan Bruzas of Next Home can do it all and do it well. Not only is she very professional at her job, she is also a very caring and friendly woman that goes above and beyond her duties. My home sold in only nine weeks and any questions I had about the sale or any little issues that arose Jan took care of immediately and if for some reason she was unavailable her husband Michael Bindman a realtor as well would be there to help in any way possible. I hope my experience with Jan Bruzas from Next Home will help make your decision a little easier when buying or selling your NEXT HOME!
