Bobbi-Jean helped us secure our dream property, which was not easy! She went above and beyond to answer our questions; when she couldn't, she found the answers. Bobbi-Jean has a strong work ethic, is knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home!

Doug Larson recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Working with Bobbi-Jean Cardona was a fantastic experience. She did a wonderful job helping with the relocation of our mutual client moving back to California. Bobbi-Jean sold my client's home in North Carolina while I assisted with the purchase of their home in California. Having a trusted agent like Bobbi-Jean in a complex move like this is invaluable. Her professionalism, dedication, and expertise ensured a smooth and successful transaction. I will definitely be doing business with her again for future clients leaving California or looking to buy/sell in North Carolina. Highly recommend!

Jacqueline Geer recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Thank you Bobbi-Jean! You went above and beyond to help me in my circumstance. As someone moving to NC from California, I had no idea what I was up against and not being able to see properties. I have signed a lease (which wouldn't have been possible without your help). I look forward to working with you again when we are ready to purchase. Thank you does not seem like enough! But... THANK YOU!

Christopher Paul Talmadge Brady recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

First I want to say that this is my first time trying to turn my home into a rental property. So I honestly didn’t know what to expect, from rates, contacts, requirements, tough questions, marketing to even just knowing how to get started. I believed that the whole process was about to be a huge headache, and a stressor that I was not looking forward to. I called a friend who I had served with in the Marine Corps who was more savy with real estate and he immediately gave me the contact to “NextHome Built by Referral Realty”. I was on the phone for no more than ten minutes explaining my situation when they gave me a contact to Bobbi-Jean Cardona, they said that she is perfect and the one that I must speak with.

I called Bobbi-Jean directly following that call and my concerns completely dissipated. From the time she picked up my phone call and listened to my story, she then politely inserted herself and controlled the conversation. I didn’t even have to ask another question before she had put my mind at ease, set up an appointment to see the house, send me material to read and research, and then asked me if I had any questions. I was speechless, she had single-handedly answered every question an concern in record time that all I could say way no, I’m excited to see you at our appointment.

When I got to meet Bobbi-Jean my ideas and perspective of her from our first interaction I can say didn’t change, I was impressed. If anything she continued to impress me from her professionalism, humility, kindness, intelligence and passion for the work she does. She did the inspection and was incredibly knowledgeable, my wife of course had way more questions than I did and Bobbi-Jean answered everyone with out hesitation. Her preparation showed with the amount of blueprints, lot info she researched, and comparisons of what other properties were going for. We were both left without any worries or stress but all we were left with was peace of mind.

Every call, text, email and meeting Bobbi-Jean has been nothing but 5 star, spectacular, perfect, incredible, and the Go-To person that you MUST work with and get to assist you with renting your property. Thanks Bobbi-Jean.

Amanda Moy recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

You might hear that the real estate buying process is a complicated and often frustrating time. However, Bobbi-Jean made the whole experience seamless.

My first interaction with her was fantastic, she answered my message at 9:00 p.m.! Within minutes we had a showing scheduled for a house that was difficult to get into before.

She listened to our needs with outreach, she really made our buying process a completely customized and tailored to our preferences experience.

What could have been a typically stressful purchasing process was an extremely seamless endeavor. This was a purchase for a second home used as an investment property which has different requirements for funding. She helped us find a great mortgage lender who communicated seamlessly with all of us through the process, thank you, and shout out to Sally Herman from Movement!

I can't write enough to describe how happy I was working with her, Bobbi-Jean will continue to be our realtor of choice into the future.

Do yourself a favor and work with her, she really puts her clients first and has the knowledge and tenacity to make your real estate goals a reality.

Anette Houle recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

BobbiJean is tenacious in everything she does. She always puts her clients first. She’s professional, honest, caring and always positive. She listens and works hard to find you what you need. You won’t find a better person to sell your house or to find the right house for you to purchase or rent.

Shelly Cummins recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

When I first came to Jacksonville, Bobbi-Jean helped me find a rental. She is very knowledgable and helped us find services we were needing for the family as well as a talanted seller. She helped us find and buy a home in this crazy market where everything is going quickly. She told the family our story and that acording to the sellers, that is what got us the house. Thank you Bobbi-Jean for your knowledge and services.

Michelle R Knorr recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Bobbi-Jean is not only an awesome and talented realtor, she is an amazing woman! We moved from Indiana and she helped us find a rental when we were desperate and nothing seemed available! Bobbi worked very hard to help us find our new home. We had gotten scammed and lost a lot of money in our search for a house to buy. Bobbi is not only knowledgeable about her job, but she knows the right people to refer your family to during the home buying process! She is a miracle worker! Without her help we would not have been able to purchase the beautiful new home we now own! Bobbi-Jean revealed a bit of our family’s past and present to the owners of the house we wanted and she touched their hearts so much that they told us they decided no matter what, they wanted our family to purchase their home! Bobbi literally cemented this home for us and we will be eternally grateful to her for that! I highly recommend Bobbi-Jean Cardona for all your housing needs!!!

Lee Armstrong recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Bobbi-Jean was so helpful in finding housing in the Jacksonville area. She is personable, gets to know her clients and seems to sincerely try to help meet their needs. She is a go-getter, full of energy and is extremely organized. I was impressed by her supporting team from those at her agency to contractors she relies on to those companies she recommends in the buying process. She has a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to work with. She is focused on selling, but is not pushy; so it gave confidence that she was trying hard to meet her client's requirements.

Abbey Tanner recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Bobbi Jean and Joelle are astounding not only at their job but as people too! I have nothing but good things to say about them. They took on what other had made me feel like was impossible. I moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. I gave them a price range, a time frame (2 weeks might I add), and told them what I needed to have in my home. I will be the first to say I can be a little difficult when I have my heart set on something. They bent over backwards and got me in a home that I couldn’t be happier with!

Jake Turner recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Bobbi-Jean Cordona has been fantastic to work for. She stays on top of the projects assigned to her. She has made sure to acquire if I'm equipped to handle any specific job.
I've worked for her and the company for about 6 weeks, and everything has been excellent. She's a hard worker herself, and makes it her duty to make sure her clients, are well taken care of.
I've thoroughly enjoyed working for her thus far, and look forward to working on more up coming jobs for her.
I will recommend her to anyone.

Bobbi-Jean Cardona really knows her stuff! She helped my family find a home in one day when we were desperate to get moved in ASAP! Bobbi-Jean is a very kind and sweet lady who really listens and cares about your family. We had a few issues with things not working properly in our rental and she addressed them immediately! I would very highly recommend Bobbie-Jean Cardona if you want fast, pleasant and courteous service!

Christopher G recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

Bobbi-Jean has been hands down the best property manager I have ever worked with. I had several negative experiences with other management companies who were late getting repairs done, did not keep me informed of major home repairs post-hurricane, and ignored my tenants. Karen and her team took my house over, and ever since things have gone incredibly smoothly. Bobbi-Jean is timely with notification of repairs, keeps me updated with concerns, and treats my home like its hers. If you are military and trying to rent your house out, or for any other real estate related needs, I could not recommend Karen Stewart/Bobbi-Jean and the NextHome Built by Referral team enough.

Madison Stucks recommends Bobbi-Jean Cardona

As a newly military couple, my husband and I had bought a home to remodel. After two unexpected deployments and a bad hurricane season, our plans for the home did not go as we had hoped. Our time with the house had passed and we picked up orders to move very soon. We had both been so stressed and afraid of how we would manage owning an unfinished home, and living in a different state- financing both. Thanks to Barbara Jean and her company she has lifted the weight right of our shoulders. With in days she brought in people to finish our repairs, professionally clean the home, and soon be well on our way to the market! (All within our budget, I might add!) Buying and selling can be so scary! But this experience has absolutely been great for us so far, and made as simple as possible. I would GREATLY recommend using Barbara Jean and her team in any home buying or selling experience. You will be WELL taken care of.

The staff is very friendly and professional. They made the task of relocating to North Carolina from Fairbanks, Alaska very easy. They were so helpful in telling me about the area - even giving me suggestions on where to buy a reasonable washer and dryer.

I would definitely use this property management firm again, and recommend it to friends.
