Relocating from New Jersey to Sarasota, FL, was a huge move for our family, and Derek made the entire process feel effortless. Since we were out of state, he truly became our eyes and ears here in Florida, sending photos, taking detailed videos of the new build, advocating for us when anything popped up, and checking in with the builder every step of the way. His communication, follow-through, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind.

As a former real estate agent in New Jersey, I really appreciate strong professionalism and true expertise, and Derek exceeded every expectation. And speaking as a buyer, this was our fourth personal real estate transaction, yet it was by far the smoothest one we've ever experienced. No hiccups, no stress...just a seamless, well-managed journey from start to finish.

He listened closely to what we wanted for our family and guided us to the perfect community that checked every single box. Moving states is overwhelming enough, but Derek handled everything on the Florida side so we could focus on packing up the kids (and all the animals!) and getting ready for our new chapter.

We highly recommend him for any and all real estate needs, his expertise and heart are unmatched!

Definitely recommend Socha on the purchase of your home she explains everything so well step by step , so she makes sure you understand everything. She will reach out to you every step of the way to make sure your both on the same page.

I could not have found a better agent. She answered every question I had. She always returned my calls and texts asap. She was a great laison between me and the buyer. Would certainly recommend her to anyone buying or selling.

Derek is an excellent choice as your realtor. He will always keep you informed. He knows his stuff for sure but what I like most is his attention to the little details. Derek handled every aspect of the sale with timeliness and professionalism. You can count on Derek to do a great job for you too!

I’ve known Shana for about 5 years and I finally had the pleasure to work with her while looking for a property in Sarasota.
Shana grew up in Sarasota and knows the city extremely well. She uses that knowledge to better assist you in picking a neighborhood,
or area.
She was organized, detailed, and had several contacts for ideas on choosing an inspector, exterminator, as well as a great closing agent. I would definitely recommend Shana to a friend.

If you want a realtor who will go above and beyond, be creative, proactive, and considerate, Desiree needs to be at the top of your list. To say my transaction had a few bumps in the road would be an enormous understatement, but through it all, she remained calm and provided solutions and plans on how to address and solve each issue. I am using her currently for my next purchase and I look forward to a long partnership.

It is a pleasure to write a recommendation for Raena Everett who served as our agent during the sale of our property. The Florida housing market was at a low point with regard to sale prices and sales in general. Raena worked enthusiastically to promote the sale of our home. I was impressed by her professionalism, her knowledge of the housing market in our area, and her willingness to listen to our suggestions. Her efforts were instrumental in producing a successful outcome on our behalf. I would recommend Raena's services to anyone looking for hard-working, competent real estate agent who has the client's interest at heart.

Jim Ahearn is a great sales person and will go the extra mile to get your home solded. Thanks Jim

Desiree is amazing! She works quickly, gets things done efficiently, and makes every home feel like it could be your own during a walkthrough. 🤩 Everyone should work with her — she’s truly the best! 🥰”

I met Raena years ago as a neighbor. She was a busy, organized realtor in our neighborhood.
We had decided to put our home up for sale early 2025. Easy decision, ask Raena! This is when we learned the scope of her commitment to her profession as well as her clients. She knows the market, the client needs and more. As sellers we learned and listened to advice and trends from Raena.
Dedication, knowledge and personalization are 3 key assests Raena brings to her clients.

Derrick was a very good communicator, responded back quickly to emails. It was a pleasure working with Derrick.

I've bought and sold several homes and condos and it's always a daunting experience! Derek Patti is a different kind of real estate agent. You have to meet him to understand why.

His professional ethics shine through his systematic approach presenting a thorough comparative market analysis, guidance in home staging, clear and consistent communication, and I always felt he was advocating for my best interests in the process of selling my home in Sarasota.

His knowledge of the everchanging real estate market, use of his networking alliances in the marketplace and persistent optimism set him apart from other realtors I've worked with. it was a pleasure to work with him.

Good

I would highly recommend Socha for your Real Estate needs. I found her to be very knowledgeable in the Real Estate Sales and her patience in dealing with our Corporation's inexperience was very professional. She kept us up to date during a long 6 month process which ended with a very favorable conclusion for our Properties. Our Board was extremely satisfied in dealing with Socha.

Raena went above and beyond for our house purchase! She was in constant communication with the selling agent and lender to ensure we would meet our desired closing date. She truly cares about her clients!

Thank you for everything, and you did awesome job. She the best realtor agent !
I recommend her.

I recommend you to Linh Pham. She works so hard to find the that you . She’s great personality. I so happy that I got the house I want. Thank you for everything.

We were nervous buying home because we just move in Florida, but Linh Pham made everything easy to understand.and never rushed us. We truly felt cared for and supported. Highly recommend, especially if you're moving to Florida

Derek did an awesome job. It was a difficult sale, and Derek went above and beyond to make it as smooth as possible. Will definitely do business with him again, and highly recommended anyone looking to buy or sell to contact him

Very good Realtor ! thank you chi

Jim was recommended to us by a good friend. We honestly did not think it would be possible for us to purchase our home, but Jim made it easy. He found exactly what we were looking for and helped us through every step of making the purchase. I recommend him very highly. He's helped make my dream of owning a beautiful home come true.

An all around five star review is cutting Socha short of what she deserves. Long story short my family and I relocated to Florida from Michigan. Truly by the grace of God we were connected with Socha. She was patient and helped us find a home that checked both our wants and needs boxes. She visually inspected the homes we were interested in so we weren’t wasting any time or money states away. She took it upon herself and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and ensured we had the knowledge of everything that we should have before moving forward.
Once we found the home that we fell in love with, we put an offer in on it (VA loan). Socha recommended and guided us with very clear, knowledgeable and precise information for us to get the most out of what we were looking for in our offer.
Upon the sellers acceptance of our offer, Socha still went above and beyond to ensure the inspections all cleared okay and there were no red flags with our home. We are beyond blessed and excited to call Socha our realtor!

Thank you again Socha!

Shana was so helpful with our home buying process. We learned so much from Shana as to what to look for in a home since she understood our needs. Very patient and didn't push us to make a decision.

5 star

Barry did a fantastic job throughout the entire process. He provided many options and was always available for a showing. Great communicator and always helped me with details I inquired about.

Linh Pham didn’t just help me buy a house—she made it fun, stress-free, and almost suspiciously easy. I thought home buying would break me, but instead I got keys and a great story. 10/10, would house hunt again (but hopefully not soon). Thanks

To start right off, words don't do justice to convey just how amazing it was to have Toby be our realtor.

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were very overwhelmed by the shear amount of information and work that went into buying our first home in today's market. Toby made sure that we understood exactly what we were doing and helped educate us on how the whole process worked from the beginning all the way upto closing. Throughout the whole process he was always kind, caring, compassionate, and understanding of our families needs and desires; and he helped us find the perfect home that balanced all of our wants with our needs. Not only that, but he genuinely cared about our family and took the time to get to know each of us and our kids, and by the end of our journey he basically felt like family.

We can't recommend Toby enough if you're considering him to be your realtor!

Thank you Toby for our amazing first home!

She is an excellent ạgent. I am happy with the customer service she provided me. I’m a first time home buyer and she fulfilled all of my questions / concerns about the process. I highly recommend Mrs.Linh for my friends and family !

Excellent job. Thank you, Linh Pham

We are Michiganders and this is our second real estate transaction with Socha. We highly recommend her for your real estate needs. Very professional, honest and highly motivated to get you the property that you desire. She makes you feel that you are her only client and walks you through every step of the process. Answers any questions day or night and most importantly negotiates on your behalf to achieve the property of your dreams!

Susie is the absolute best! She is very knowledgeable and courteous. She wears her heart on her sleeve. In the world of where many people forget to be kind to everyone Susie never forgets! When faced with difficult situations, Susie beds over backward and does her best! Also, she is very easy to reach! She always answers her phone, or texts and responds in a timely fashion! She is very prompt. The two best words to describe Susie are Trustworthy, and Integrity! I would highly recommend her when looking for an agent. Whether you are looking to sell our purchase a property, Susie should be your top choice! Thank you so much it was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to working with you again in the near future.

Linh is the most professional real estate agent I have ever worked with. Very responsive and knowledgeable about the housing market. Shrewd negotiator who got me the best deal possible. Highly recommend Linh to anyone looking for or selling a home!

Jim’s efficiency was awesome! He expedited the paperwork for the sale of my condo. He had a proactive approach getting the condo ready to sell and organizing open houses for a quick sale. His dedication, communication and efficiency made the whole process stress free for me. If you’re looking for a realtor who delivers outstanding service this is the one! Thanks Jim!

She is very good sales. Anh so kindly, always help customer very dedicated .

Barry dod a great job of getting our house on the market and sold quickly for a price we wanted.

Barry was a great realtor. He was available whenever needed, answered all of our questions, and efficiently sold our house! Overall great experience!

Jim Ahearn was absolutely phenomenal throughout our entire home buying process! His deep knowledge of the local market, combined with his excellent communication and unwavering dedication to finding us our forever home, made the experience seamless and stress-free. Jim was always available to answer questions, readily addressed concerns, and expertly navigated negotiations to secure us the best possible deal. We highly recommend Jin Ahearn to anyone seeking a truly dedicated and professional real estate agent.". Jim is the man with the plan for sure.

Jim Ahearn is very thorough with ever aspect of his job. He is very knowledgeable and took out adequate time with our family to ensure that we got the home that we wanted and deserve! We found that even after Jim helped us to find a home that was just the beginning of his JOB! He negotiated hard for our concessions so that our needs were met. Even after our closing he was still working to make sure we were satisfied. Jim treated us like family it was great to have someone that cared and attended our needs with care and punctuality!

Nick is very thorough in his job helping me find the perfect house. Lots of time and energy went into this big move. He guided me every step of the way with what should be inspected he helped me set up with the agencies that I would need for each inspection. Along with help referring insurance company and people to contact. I appreciate the time, patience, and expertise Nick put into this important move for me.

Our realtor Socha GOYETTE at NextHome Excellence was amazing! We recently purchased a second home in Florida. Socha was knowledgeable about the market and she was extremely patient, helpful and responsive. And while we were not purchasing a multi million dollar home, she treated us as though we were, making us feel just as important as any of her clients. We would highly recommend Socha to anyone purchasing/selling a home in Florida or anyone living in another state looking to purchase a second home.

I cannot thank Nick Paape and NextHome enough for handling the sale of my home. He met or exceeded all of my expectations and it was a pleasure working thru this with him.
the home was marketed very well and even had a showing the very first day that it went on the market.as well as many other showings
Highly recommend Nick and NextHome if you are thinking of selling or buying a home. They are very familiar with the Sarasota area and the communities therein. Great job Nick and team!

I am grateful to have been assigned Linh Pham as my agent. She was very knowledgeable and professional with all of our questions. I will recommend Linh Pham for others.

Kayla Lamb is amazing. She was attentive, responsive, and fulfilled all of my requests. This was my best, most flawless experience selling a property, thanks to Kayla Lamb. I highly recommend her and will use her again for my next home purchase or sale!

Alyssa is simply an outstanding realtor in all aspects of my experience with her. From her vast knowledge of the market to her expert handling of negotiations, she was amazing. She guided me thru a challenging sale with all the support I needed. Her calm and patient manner put me at ease with every worry I had. She went above and beyond thru out the entire process. She is professional, so efficient and very personable. I am so grateful to Alyssa for all she did for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who has all the qualities you could ever ask for.

I’ve had the good fortune and wise judgment to engage Derek on three different occasions to buy & sell Sarasota residential properties in the past 8 years. Each deal had some intricacies and special considerations; all of which Derek navigated with exacting precision.

In one situation Derek was center stage handling all the closing details on behalf of both buyer & seller as a neutral 3rd party. In another Derek successfully managed a deal involving a senior citizen buyer, her trust, and her power of attorney; complicated by the buyer & seller being immediate family member of one another.

While listing a 3rd property for an absentee seller during the seasonal market downturn, Derek made weekly visits to leaf blow the entry courtyard to make the first impression welcoming and presentable to prospective buyers.

Without a doubt Derek goes the extra mile and well beyond normal expectations for both buyer & seller. Without hesitation I would recommend Derek to handle the real estate sales needs of my closest friends.

Hubby and I had to move into assisted living and sell our condo. Susie was tremendous all through the process. She was very caring and supportive throughout this stressful process. From listing to closing, she was on top of everything!!!!!! Nothing fell through the cracks as can sometimes happen. We highly recommend her.

Susie did an amazing job for us. She fought to make sure we got everything we wanted and was always so responsive and attentive to our questions and concerns. Truly a wonderful experience!

Derek is outstanding. He helped me and my family buy and sell multiple homes and makes the process as easy as it can be. Derek is highly communicative and always ready to talk if you have questions. We’ll be working with him again soon.

Ann Vo was an outstanding partner in our home-buying journey. From day one, she was responsive, attentive, and always there to answer our questions. She took the time to truly understand our needs and provided expert guidance at every step, ensuring we felt confident and well-informed throughout the process.

Ann’s deep knowledge of the local market and her sharp negotiation skills helped us secure our dream home at a fair price. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and enjoyable one. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent, and we highly recommend Ann Vo to anyone looking to buy a home!

Craig was wonderful working with me and my mother to sell a home for us. This was a difficult sale of a home we received ownership of through probate. Craig guided us through the process step by step and was always available to answer questions and find out information for us. I felt very supported throughout the process of the sale. There are not enough words to express how professional and kind Craig was to me and my mother during the time he worked with us.

great agent.

Nick did an amazing job! we found our house and were closed within two months, and he was there to help and give advice every step of the way. I highly recommend him as he made the home buying process the most simple I've ever had it.

Barry did a great job organizing our purchase of a commercial unit. We would highly recommend.

Susie was such an amazing person to work with! She helped me and my wife get into our dream home! My wife and I couldn’t have had a better experience or realtor!

Ann is outstanding, she loves her job, she is knowledgeable and patient. I am from out of town and Ann availed herself dedicated two days to me. I am pleased to report that I found my home in two days! Thank you Ann for your time!

Susie has went above and beyond to get me and my husband into our home. She is kind, smart, knowledgeable about the process, and just an overall amazing person. She is responsive, I never had a text or email go longer than an hour without a reply. She was always there to answer questions. Susie was quick to talk to the seller for us and all the service people during the inspection to make sure we had all the updates. Really and truly I can’t say enough good things about her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home. She was absolutely stellar at her job.

Desiree has done a fantastic job taking care of our rental properties over the several years that she has been our property manager. She is professional, knowledgeable and over the years has often provided us with very helpful advice.
She excels at finding new tenants for us and always takes great care in ensuring that they are the “right fit” for our properties. She is always very prompt in returning our calls or emails and has a wide ranging portfolio of contractors should we require any maintenance work carried out at our properties. I highly recommend Desiree and really appreciate the first class service she provides for us.

Nick did a great job. In a short time, he sold our house and found us another. The closing on both came within an hour of each.He works hard and is fun to be with..

Nick is the best, He is smart, patient and very knowledgeable. He was a giant help selling our house and finding a new one for us. I have complete confidence in Nick Paape and would always recommend him.

She did the great job with the buyer agent.

Brandon was a great agent. Prompt on returning calls, responsive to holding open houses and getting us on the agent trolly tours to add exposure to our home. Followed up with showings to see what potential buyers felt about the home. It was on the market for several months, but our home was unique and required a specific buyer which he found. Would highly recommend Brandon.

We have worked with Socha for a few real estate transactions and she is wonderful! She listens to what we want and need and is always available for answering questions and helping us through everything. She even helped us negotiate and buy our new home while vacationing IN ALASKA! Socha is outstanding and her clients come first!

We are very thankful for her help in buying our house and really satisfied with her services. We would highly recommend Linh to anyone who is looking for a true professional realtor.

Amazing working with Brenda Haenel. She made it important to understand what I needed and wanted in a property. She was patient with me and a delight to work with. She found the Perfect property ! And she made me feel so welcome to Florida. Thank you!

What can I say. Nick has your back.
It can be quite taxing on you when you sell a house and Nick was always there for me. He really knows his stuff.
I highly recommend him for both selling or buying a home. He is an expert and will help your experience to be positive.
Thank you so much Nick!!

We worked with Toby while purchasing a home in South Venice and could not be happier. He provided guidance with proper pricing and location and made sure that our final choice was the right now. His goal was to make sure that we found the right home for us, no matter how long the process. He toured close to 20 homes for us, with no expectations or pressure. He recommended a lender, insurance, and coordinated all of the steps along the way. Please give him a call if you are looking to buy or sell, you will not regret it.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to highly recommend Linh Pham as an exceptional realtor. Linh recently assisted me in purchasing my dream vacation home on Siesta Key Beach, the number one beach in the USA, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.

Her expertise in the Siesta Key area was evident as she provided valuable insights and guided me through the process with ease.

What truly sets Linh apart is her personal touch and commitment to client satisfaction. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and confident in my decision, making the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.

I am now the proud owner of a beautiful vacation home on Siesta Key Beach, and I owe this achievement to Linh's hard work and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Linh Pham to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and personable realtor. She is an invaluable asset to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area.

Sincerely,
Phuong Nguyen

I always recommend you guys if you want to buy a house in Florida. Linh is awesome realtor! She helped me deal with all situations with seller, builder and gave me the best suggestion for closing house and leasing as well.

Tobias was amazing in helping us find the perfect vacation house in Venice, FL. We live in Massachusetts, and Tobias found homes that fit our budget and visited each place while facetiming us so we could walk through the home with him. When we finally found the perfect property Tobias arranged everything from home inspection to final closing documents. We truly could not have done it without his assistance, he is a real pro and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Sarasota County.

We were very pleased with the professional service we received from Mrs. Linh Pham. She responded promptly to our many texts, phone, and email questions. She is a skillful negotiator and helped us walk through the entire process of searching, identifying, and closing on our Sarasota home.

We have been in our new home for one week, and now that our moving dust (figuratively speaking) has settled, we finally have a moment to look back on the process. Thank you, Mrs. Linh. You did an amazing job for us, and we highly recommend you to others.

My friend recommended Socha when I decided to sell my home and relocate up north. It was the best decision ever. The moment I met her she took the lead and relieved my anxiety. My home sold in less than a week. From start to finish she handled all the details. There is a reason she is known as the extra— she definitely goes the extra mile.

Socha was exceptional to work with throughout the whole home purchasing process. Handled all situations professionally and offered alternative approaches to assure the desired outcome. Would highly recommend for your real estate transactions.

Socha Goyette – NextHome Excellence – Sparkling Review!
Shopping for a new home is fun and exciting especially when you find “the one” and are ready to make the purchase.

There are many implications before, during and after the sale/move.
Even if you’ve bought and sold homes, each time is a unique experience.
Socha has the experience to guide you at every turn. She listens, advises, and keeps you on track with a gentle, comforting, and humorous appeal.
Socha earns every cent of her commission and more! She is responsive, keeps things running smoothly and has a great network of professionals in all areas.
Socha is extremely vested in her profession, her clients, and her community.
She will be with you from the beginning, throughout and after the purchase/sale.
Live your best life and go with Socha!

I had another agent list my grandmother’s property for 180 days… nothing. No contact, no showings, just frustrating. Nick had the house listed for THREE DAYS and it sold! He was extremely communicative and made everything easy for me to understand. Selling a house can be stressful. It’s even more stressful when you are a single mom. Nick made the whole process easy and I never felt alone.

As an investor in multiple states, I have used many realtors, but Linh is different than any of them. She is very patient, communicative, always happy, and very knowledgable of the current market. She is the best in negotiate I ever had. I highly recommend Linh to anyone who wishes to have a great time in real estate investing and in negotiating.

What a tremendous resource during the buying process! Derek knows his stuff and was on top of even the little things throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him you are looking a realtor.

Linh is such a knowledgeable person who has been in the industry for a very long time. She’s also very patient with the whole buying process (negotiation, walkthrough , closing,…). My mother was very stressed and anxious about buying her first time, but Linh did a very good job of sharing her experience and was able to reassure her. She finally closed the house at a good price and was very happy at the end of the process.

I had a wonderful experience working with Ms. Linh Pham as my buyer's agent. Her expertise and dedication made the entire home-buying process seamless and stress-free. From the initial search to closing, Linh was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure that I found the perfect home. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail were truly impressive. I highly recommend Ms. Linh Pham to anyone in need of a reliable and professional agent. Thank you for your exceptional service!

We are very pleased with the way Ed Dwyer helped us navigate the sale of our home AND the purchase of our new one. His knowledge about the various aspects of real estate was instrumental in understanding our options. He was with us every step of the way and communicated openly and honestly and kept us informed in a timely manner. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ed Dwyer for all your realtor needs.

Nick ,
Did an excellent job finding us the right condominium that fit our needs as well as our price point.
He was always available to answer any questions. And made the whole experience enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Nick if you are shopping for your Next Home.
Tom Bird

Linh is really friendly and professional agent!!! Highly recommended realtor with a really good negotiation, and always work for your best interest….

Nick Paape did an excellent job working with us long distance to find our Condo in Sarasota Florida, he was very professional and became a good friend. We would recommend him to anyone.

I would rate Ed Dwyer seven stars if they would allow! It's rare to have a seasoned professional on your side. One who is not in it only to make a buck but to do their absolute best for their client. Ed gave a hundred percent all the time. He was honest and exceptionally thorough during all phases of my search for a condo. I am extremely happy with the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Ed to my children. I trust him that much. Do yourself a favor and seek out Ed Dwyer when you need a real estate agent.

I want to take a second and tell Nick thank you so much for all you did helping us require this out! Nick showed a high-level of professionalism and follow through unique to the industry. Thank you Nick for helping us get into our last house.

Derek has been working with me for a number of years and I highly recommend him if you are considering buying or selling a home. He is highly knowledgeable and will give 110% to accomplish your goals.

He goes well beyond the scope of his job to make certain his clients are satisfied.

She has put me first with all the energy and passion I could ask for in a realtor! I appreciate her being sensitive to my needs; responding to my call or texts (even with the 3 hour time difference) and truly caring about me and getting my home built and sold. I would highly recommend her to any one who wants to buy or sell a property and be confident that they will get what they need.

Alyssa recently helped us to close on a home in a great area for the right price. When we started this process, it was very important to me that my wife's opinion was taken into account more than my own in finding properties. Alyssa did an outstanding job of downloading everything from my wife to aid in our search. Every property she showed us was aligned with those requirements. Alyssa is also excellent at following up with both us and the sellers when important milestones were approaching. She intelligently answered all the questions that I had along the way, and boy did I have a lot of questions. I highly recommend Alyssa for your real estate needs.

Derek made purchasing our condo stressless, enjoyable and exciting. He sent us all the forms, certificates and details we’d need to make an informed purchase within 24 hours of our expressing our interest in the property he represented.

When we buy or sell again we will trust Derek to make our experience stressless and a pleasure. Derek is a professional.

It is with pleasure to give Socha a recommendation. I wish I could give her10 stars. Socha was our realtor through 2 transactions, both selling and buying and we couldn't have asked for anyone more professional and easy to work with. She is an A+ realtor. Once you make up your mind to purchase, Socha is off and running taking care of all the details on your behalf. If you think of something that should be taken care of, no worries, Socha has already taken care of it. She has earned our utmost confidence. As a client, she gives you all her attention always with a smile and a cheerful personality. We give Sochette Goyette our very highest rating.

Linh Ph?m is the great realtor.
She helps us to find a house that we love.
She is so passionate and knowledgeable.

Derek was a pleasure to work with! I meant him at an open house , Derek was so easy to talk to. When it was time for me to sell , I reached out to Derek. in the future if I had to do business with Derek again I would not hesitate , Derek is very prompt and calling you back and made you feel very comfortable in answering any questions you had !

My wife and I are not new to real-estate transactions, having bought and sold five properties over the years. Based on recommendations from my wife’s brother, and her nephew, we signed with Socha to help us find our new home, after we decided to relocate to Florida. She carefully listened to what we were looking for, and did a great job finding us the perfect home. It was a pleasure working with her and would do it again.

We want to thank Kayla for all her help, and give her our highest recommendation! Every detail…large or small she took care of for us. If you are looking for a real estate agent to help you either buy or sell, I promise you that you won’t go wrong by hiring Kayla. THANK YOU!!

I don't even know where to start. Kayla is a phenomenal agent and I would absolutely recommend her to represent anyone buying or selling their home. We had a home to sell in Indiana while working with her to purchase a Florida home.
She kept us on track and was one step ahead of our every question. With her exceptional organizational skills, Kayla did all the work for us on this end while we were dealing with our sale in Indiana. Six out of five stars for Kayla!

Very knowledgable about the market

An amazing realtor. Linh helped us from start to finish in purchasing our property without having to look at the house in person. She's truly professional and keeping us in loop throughout the purchasing process. Highly recommended.

Derek was great! He was there every step of the way and thought of everything. He made the process easy and was a great advocate for us through the process. I would definitely recommend him.

Derek Patti is outstanding! Not only is he extremely knowledgable of the Florida real estate market, he was a wealth of resources for just about everything related to the buying process: from insurance and inspections to rental management and restaurant recommendations. An extremely hard worker, always positive, never pushy, and very calm. We were so grateful to have worked with him on purchasing our dream property!

There are not enough adjectives to describe Nick Paape’s ability as a professional realtor. Being the seller, we couldn’t have asked for better representation.
He was attentive to our needs, and demonstrated the same level of motivation we had to sell our house.
He clearly understood the housing market and paid close attention to detail throughout the process of the sale.
All in all, it was a great experience because of his superior service and excellent work ethic.

Brenda is the most wonderful caring realtor I have ever met. She goes above and beyond to get your house sold. To anyone selling a house, this is the realtor to go with. She will get the job done. Just love her.

Socha Goyette helped my brother and I sell my father's home. Since we both live in Midwest states, we needed a lot of help to get the house on the market & prepare the home for occupation. With Cheer!, Socha made herself available to guide us through the process. She is every bit the professional she is purported to be. If my brother or I were ever buy a home in the area, she will be our 1st call or a realtor.

Nick did an amazing job selling our house, from getting the listing, help with staging to ensuring an efficient closing. He is very responsive and always got us information quickly. It was a pleasure to work with him and look forward to doing our future real estate transactions with Nick!

Brenda was amazing in helping us sell our home.
Professional,friendly,understanding and always there for us with advise and encouragement.
Recommend her to anyone .
Not only was she our real estate agent but we became good friends.
Excellent work

Nick was extremely knowledgeable on local issues and sales data. He was very responsive and timely across multiple issues. He was very open to client questions and encouraged client input and/or opinions. He didn’t just tell you what to set the sales price at , what to do, what to accept from the buyer. He really wanted the seller input. Finally, he was very timely in follow through and updates.
A true Real estate Professional .

Susie was amazing!

In this challenging market she was able to get us a great offer and was a smooth transaction!

The skill's she has from years of experience really help us sell our home!

Alyssa came highly recommended by Alex Krumm, the Brooker at NextHome Excellence, to assist us with our home purchase. She is an excellent communicator, she understands the importance of speed and turn around when negotiating contracts and she was available to help us make some very tough decisions and get us the best possible terms when the sellers realtor employed tactics that really held-up negotiations. She is warm, a great listener and understands when to collaborate with her team for expertise. I would recommend her 10 out of 10 to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

Socha was the best. We used her when we bought out home. And never considered using anyone else when we sold. She did a great job. Very responsive. Got us a great price. And was a pleasure to work with. I recommend her most highly.

Socha was our realtor both to buy, and then four years later, to sell, our condo in Bradenton FL. She was a delight to work with. Very responsive to every detail and inquiry and very professional in every respect. She negotiated very well for us on both ends of the transaction for excellent results. She has a cheerful and helpful personality and we were thrilled that we found her to help us with our real estate needs.

After 53 years of marriage and as a widow, I faced the daunting job of selling a home for the first time by myself. Fortunately, I found Socha Goyette. Not only was she a knowledgeable realtor and guided me through the process, she recognized my need for support as I downsized to half the square footage in independent living and had to find a way to dispose of treasures of a lifetime. When I needed a contractor to upgrade or fix a problem, she had suggestions that made it easy to complete. She was always a phone call away for clarification, or text for a quick answer or a drop in when I needed visual advice. As busy as she was, she always had time for me. To add to that she was responsible for my getting the price I wanted for my home. I could have asked for no more than the excellent service she gave me.

Socha was my agent for selling a relative's home. The home was in a trust and she helped me navigate the intricacies of all the paperwork! She is professional, knowledgable and very personable! I recommend her highly, without reservation.

I highly recommend Socha Goyette! Socha helped me secure a rental when moving from the Carolina's to Florida and also helped me find my new dream townhome in the perfect area. Socha is very professional and knowledgeable with great attention to detail! We have become really good friends! Socha is a ray of sunshine and such a great pleasure to work with!

Socha did a great job when we bought our condo. She is very knowledgeable in her field. Spent time with us going through the whole process, from the offer to the closing. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great realtor.

Brenda is the Best! Brenda not only helped in the sale of my house but followed thru the purchase of my new home. She never gave up and was persistent in finding that "perfect place" in this tough market. She makes her self available whether it a question or showing. We now consider as part of our family.

WE RECENTLY SOLD OUR CONDO IN VENICE FL. SOCHA HANDLED THE WHOLE PROCESS OF LISTING, MARKETING, SALE, AND CLOSING OF OUR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION. SOCHA IS A TRUE REAL ESTATE PROFESSINAL WITH A KEEN KNOWLEDGE OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, SHE IS PROMPT IN FOLLOWING UP AND ANSWERING ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. SOCHA STANDS ABOVE OTHERS AS SHE TRULY OFFERS TOP RATE CUSTOMER SERVICE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

Socha was our listing agent for our home in Florida. She is extremely hard working, dedicated and very knowledgeable in the real estate business. We found her to be very genuine, friendly, a true pleasure to work with and a great asset. Her timelines were always met with efficiency. She is top notch!

Susie helped our dream come true, as a first time home buyers we needed someone to trust and to help us understanding everything. Susie was great from day one till the closing day, she was on top of everything and made our lives much easier during the entire process. We highly recommend Susie.
Silva family.

We were truly blessed when we were referred to Socha for assistance finding a home to purchase! We had a tight timeframe for both looking and securing a property and she made it happen!! She has been with us every step of the way and will be there for any support we need even after. She is someone you can trust your "forever home" purchase to and you will also have a "forever friend" in the process. You cannot find a better realtor to work with for either buying or selling a home.

Derek was such a help in finding a home for my family and me. Very professional. He found answers to all our questions. Thanks to him we were able to purchase the property we wanted at a big savings. I would recommend Derek to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

I cannot BEGIN to explain how AMAZING working with Socha Goyette has been. She made our dreams come true. We were moving to the Bradenton area after retirement and Socha came HIGHLY recommended thru friends who had just moved to the area the previous year. Not only was her knowledge of the market, area, financial arena, housing options, and neighborhoods beyond par; she truly knew what would make us happy. After discussing all the options out there, she located the perfect house for us. She was always ready and concise and complete in her preparations, and prompt in working to get us information or appointments to see a home. She did all this from over 1000 miles away. We trusted her completely, to the point we spent a lot of money on a house without stepping inside! All done remotely and painlessly...lol And, we are so completely satisfied with our new home. We feel it seriously is perfect for us in every way. We are so grateful to Socha and her role in helping finally achieve our dreams. There are only 5 stars to give, but I'd like to give her 1000!

Best agent ever. Wished we hired Tobias when we sold 3 other rentals He sold our last rental for 20k over asking.

Excellent experience dealing with Alyssa

Socha is a very professional, friendly easy to talk to. She helped us get a beautiful home she was there and care that everything went good true the whole process. Yes we recommend Socha Goyette she’s great!!

Socha has been an absolute pleasure to work with on purchasing our new home. She has been there for us from beginning to the end providing counseling and easing our frustrations during the whole process. She has gone from being our real estate agent to a true friend. It is hard to find people like her, we are so happy we did.

Nick was very professional and kept in touch on a weekly basis.

Kayla was a pleasure to work with, she helped us find out forever home! Was always very responsive and went above and beyond during the home buying process! I highly recommend her for your for your home buying experience ??

Kayla is very knowledgeable and trustworthy! She made my life much easier which is hard thing to do. She’s a great realtor and most of all a great person. She made me feel like I was a human being not a payday!

Alyssa went above and beyond for us on the purchase of our home! She was responsive, detail oriented, and knew what kind of home would be best for our family. We felt so comfortable knowing our interests were protected. I highly recommend Alyssa if you are buying or selling.

Professional, reliable, responsive, and supportive. We can't say enough about Alyssa who helped us sell one home and move into our forever home. This process can be stressful but with Alyssa's support things went incredibly well. I am so glad we had her in our corner.

A&N

Thank you Kayla for all your assistance with the sale of our property @ 1160 Great Falls Ave, Port Charlotte, Florida! Kayla managed every aspect of the preparation & sale with the utmost professionalism! From the property management, to lease agreements and finally the sale of our house, Kayla was always quick to resolve any issues that may have developed along the way. We were so happy to have all our needs taken care of whilst remaining at our home in British Columbia Canada.

Everyone from Next Home Excellence are more than just friends they are family! Tobias has looked out for me like a brother since high school. He called me when we knew we were ready to buy our first home. We told him what we wanted, gave him our budget & time frame and he made it all come together. We are all so greatful for how timely it was too!!! We love you Toby & NextHome Excellence!!!

Derek made the process incredibly easy and went above and beyond to ensure that the house in selling condition while I was living out of state. Very thankful to have had Derek on our team during this process.

Socha is an extremely personable and professional individual. She is knowledgeable and fabulous with attention to detail. She is a very hard worker and will do what it takes to prepare your home for sale. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone and everyone that I know.

Derek was exceptionally patient in our home buying process. Always professional and on time.

Derek did a great job selling our home.

We previously contacted some realtors who never returned our calls.

Derek worked through some unexpected issues and handled them professionally. He answered our questions and made the closing as smooth as possible.

Word of mouth referrals are a compliment and he deserves them.

Brenda Rocks!

It's not easy navigating the housing market in a new state! Especially if you haven't been to different towns and cities outside of your usual spots. Oh, and then there's everyone else wanting what you want... challenging market for buyers, to say the least.

We had our list of must-haves like any young couple looking to move to the sunshine state and start a family. Brenda managed our expectations and tailored our house hunt to find us our new home. While luck or timing was on our side, Brenda didn't let an incredible opportunity pass us by, even if we were skeptical. After a quick walk-through, we could see all our new home's possibilities. A house in South Venice was not on our list at first, but a day with Brenda checking all of the neat things Venice offers put us at ease in calling it home.

Brenda shined even brighter after we found our home. She represented us well and navigated the contracting process to get us a fair deal. At each step of the process, she kept us well informed. This was my first time navigating the home buying process, and Brenda made it easy along the way. After we closed, she continued to check in with us to see how things were progressing with our move.

We are excited to move in and very thankful to have Brenda on our side!

Brenda went above and beyond to help us find a house. In today’s crazy market, it only took about a week of looking at properties before we had an offer accepted. The whole process went smoothly and she even kept contact with us while she was away on vacation. Highly recommend!

Nick was super helpful throughout the entire process and made it a breeze! Very attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had, will definitely be using him as our realtor in the future!

Nick helped navigate a difficult estate sale, helping clean out, repair, and then sell the house at aa premium price.

Nick is a realtor that will cover every base for you and then help you knock it out of the park.

Thanks Nick. We really appreciate your help in getting this project done.

Great Realtor and gets you the best deals and takes care of your needs. He will respond in his own time but always ensures the client is taken care of.

Derek is always optimistic, timely, and professional. I just bought my second house using his services and he had the patience and foresight to advise me to offer a lower amount than I would have and he was right in doing so! Highly recommend.

In a contractual relationship, I value communication, accessibility and professionalism above all else. Kayla delivers on all points. She was always there with the answers I was seeking and made the selling of my home stress free. Happy to recommend Kayla to anyone seeing to buy or sell in her market area.

is a great realtor, he is always polite, curtious, and knows his business . He’s good at getting back to you in a timely manner. He really cares about his clients and their needs when it comes to helping them find a home. I highly recommend him to go to for anyone looking for a home.

The best real estate company in Sarasota.

This was the 4th home that I have used Derek as either my buying or selling agent. Since it's been 4 times, it's should be very apparent that he is a remarkable agent in all aspects and anyone would benefit greatly from his expertise, timeliness and great communications. You can't go wrong with Derek.

Brandon is great to work with. Things were smooth once we had the realtors heavily involved and active in the whole process. Listen to the professionals, I strongly recommend not to do things on your own. His affiliate was easy to work with as well and made the documents that needed follow-up more stream-lined and straightforward.

Nick got our house sold right away. We were very happy with him and the team at NextHome. We highly recommend.

My family and I started this journey in the early months of 2021, of home buying. Before we knew it we were submersed in the process and not having much luck I should add. Little bites here and there but no one that would go to battle for us… Until we called a Tobias! I believe it’s his smarts, drive, and willingness to succeed at anything and everything he does , is what got us our home! Thank you, from my family to yours. Your expertise and knowledge placed us into a new chapter and I will forever be grateful. Thank you, Tobias.

When we decided to sell our house we were undecided as to which real estate agent to hire. Someone recommended Socha Goyette and we couldnt be happier. From the time of the initial meeting through to the closing, Socha was the consummate professional. We never had to do a thing, we were very comfortable that Socha was taking care of it. Socha sold our house in record time and got over the asking price. She is also one of the nicest people you would want to meet. We highly recommend Socha Goyette and would give her 10 stars if we could. Thank you so much, Socha!

Socha Goyette PLLC was wonderful to work with! She is very professional & knowledgeable and was always very warm & friendly. She was also always available by phone, text and email to answer any questions and concerns I had. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home.

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Nick! He answered any questions we had and kept us updated in the process of selling our home. He was always quick to respond to any texts, emails, or phone calls. Selling our home couldn't have been easier! Nick did a great job listing it and advertising it, and we were under contract just a few days after the listing! We have already closed, and the whole process was seamless. We will be working with Nick again as we purchase our new home! I highly, highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a great, easy to work with, and knowledgeable realtor!

Brenda was great and helped us find the perfect home!
We moved from out of state to Florida. Brenda is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the process, and the current challenges with housing market. She made the entire process seamless. Her experience is evident in her ability to navigate each step of the process with honesty and integrity knowing she always had our best interest in mind. Brenda made it her priority to find us exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend Brenda!

Derek is one of the best, better than all the rest,
Professional and kind and very aware of the current market and up to date on all the processes
Of buying and selling properties, Derek takes care of business.

Socha is very helpful and answers emails and text in a timely manner. She gives a hands on experience from beginning to the end of your buying or selling experience.

Derek was a great help in maximizing our home sale, he guided us along the way. Lines of communication were open and easy to maintain. So glad Next Home was our realtors, we couldn’t have done this alone. Thank You to Alex and Derek,

Kayla managed our home search, selection, purchase and post purchase like a champion. Her willingness to listen and carefully process our preference was remarkable. She has a rare professionalism that make the stressful process of buying a home enjoyable. I highly recommend Kayla; she is gem!

We undertook an adventure when deciding to purchase a new build home and move completely across the country, but Derek helped make the process as easy and smooth as it could have been. He has expertise and experience in the area to give insight on the value of your purchase, but was not pushy trying to oversell us or tell us what we wanted. His responses to any of our questions or issues were timely and professional. When the builder was slow to provide updates or answer questions Derek got on them, sometimes pinging them for a status update without us asking. Since we were starting the process remotely he also provided photos of updates and went above and beyond taking photos of the open interior walls for future electrical use when the builder wouldn't add low voltage/ethernet wiring as part of the build. He helped answer any questions we had on part of the process or items that were specific to Florida we weren't familiar with. He was also meticulous and spotted some fees on our closing disclosure that were different from the contract, saving us money at closing.

Derek Patti is easily the best realtor we have worked with and we would highly recommend him!

I highly recommend working with Socha! She made the selling process extremely easy, even while selling from out of state. She handled all the communication with the buyers agent so the process was super simple and efficient and she was very professional at every step. She is super fast to reply and went out of her way to make the process as easy and fast as possible. Socha is super accommodating and overall the best realtor I have ever worked with!

Picking Socha to sell my property was one of the best real estate decisions I have made! I have many realtors to compare her to and she seemed to be more knowledgeable especially when it came to determining the current market sale price and what I should list for. I was confident using her for my listing because she gave me the best impression, and glad I made the right decision, she won't disappoint!

This was one of the easiest smooth transiting when trying to sell this house ! I sold I. 1 1/2 months !
Kayla lamb was a great help with it all I had no worries when Kayla told me anything ! She is a awesome and professional, and made us feel tight at home so to speak :) Next Home Excellence Reality did a wonderful job all the way around !

Socha Goyette made my home selling process both an easy and pleasant one. Right from the start, Socha had done her research to ensure our marketing strategy was on point for this unique Florida market. She flexed her approach as needed and ensured I was kept fully apprised throughout the process. Ultimately, my home sold in a week and the transaction met all of my expectations. I highly recommend Socha as a realtor and will certainly use her again for my next real estate transaction.

This is our second home we buy with the help of Derek. He’s very professional, answers all the questions we have right away and guides you through the entire process. You really do feel that he’s part of your team and wants the best. We can recommend him to all our friends and family and if there’s a third home, he’ll be there for us as well.

Our first conversation with Socha was on Sunday( a day of rest)...but not for Socha. She immediately got to work by answering all of our questions, and putting together an offer by end of day- impressive! Always available for answering question, quick to text back, and most importantly, a pleasant and upbeat personality!. There was some divine intervention in connecting with Socha . She made our real estate experience very pleasurable. Thank you!

Derek was very knowledgeable about the whole home buying experience. Told him what we wanted and found the perfect fit quickly. We are so happy and recommend him to everyone we talk to looking to purchase a home.

Derek did a fantastic job for us...listed our condominium and sold it in one hour, full price, furnished and buyers even bought our "Florida Mercedes".....when we hit an unexpected water leak one hour before closing he held it together, navigated the repair process with the Buyers and Buyers Agent. Great Job Derek! He is also very "techie"....us, not so much, but he was able to work through our "non-techie" ways. A good guy, good family man....we highly recommend him!

Socha was great to work with during the selling of our home. She kept us informed every step of the wa and stayed in contact with the buyer's agent to make sure everything went smoothly. She is very knowledgeable regarding current market trends. We followed her recommendations for setting the listing price, which was well above what we anticipated, and received full asking price. The marketing was fantastic. She uses a professional photographer and the pictures were so much better than most listings, she advertised on a wide variety of sites to maximize exposure to as wide of market as possible. We will definitely use her again if we need a real estate agent in the future.

Socha Goyette was able to sell our Moms house during a very difficult time for our family. We couldnt believe how pleasant Socha made the experience for us. Not only that, she was able to get top dollar in a highly competitive market. Socha was clearly invested in us and ensured we as her clients were fully taken care of. Ive worked in commercial real estate for over ten years and have never met anyone in the industry who takes care of their listings like Socha. She also has her finger on the market. Because of this, she was able to find the correct price point. Ive never come across an agent so capable and caring. She was a dream come true for our family.

Nick and Alex were outstanding with the recent sale of our mother's home. They were professional and efficient! Their customer service and helpful attitudes are second to none! They made the entire process seamless and easy. Thank you!!

I almost never write reviews, but this time I had to make an exception for our realtor, Socha Goyette. We were selling the house from out of state, totally dependent on the Florida realtor, and Socha was amazing. From the very beginning she was honest and clear with us about what to expect. She kept in close contact with us all the way through so we knew what was happening in every step of the process. When the inevitable surprises came up, she listened to what we wanted, and worked with us to achieve it. She was always prepared with valuable solutions, sometimes ones that we never would have thought of on our own, giving us choices instead of problems. Her friendly manner, combined with her professional expertise, made this one of the smoothest, most pleasant major transactions that weve ever participated in. We even sold the house for more than we asked for! I would absolutely use Socha again, and I only wish she was available up here in my state.

There are no words to adequately describe what a credit Derek is to his profession.
He is extremely responsive, knowledgeable of the Venice area, patient and very honest. We were not able to visit the area due to Covid so we had to do everything remotely. After many months of on-line searching, emails, phone calls and zoom chats, Derek found us exactly the home we were looking for in a very desirable area. The first time we saw our home in person was the day of closing. We were not the least bit concerned because that's how much we trusted Derek and his expert opinion that this was the right home for us. He is a genuinely wonderful person and we were so thrilled to finally meet him in person and thank him for his monumental efforts on our behalf. One thousand stars for this exceptional gentleman!!

Buying or selling a home can be one of the most stressful experiences one ever lives through. Finding the right person to help you through those times is all important. Happy to say we found that person in Nick Paape. Nick is great to work with. He's no-nonsense, low key, thorough, never pushes, just gets the job done. And he is one heck of a nice guy! That's quite a combination. In addition, he is greatly respected by the other realtors with whom he works. We witnessed that at the closing of the sale of our home when the buyers' realtor went out of her way to thank Nick for facilitating the transaction in such an amiable way for all parties, and that she looked forward to the time when she could work with him again. Thank you, Nick! We appreciate everything you did for us, from guiding us in selling our home and in finding just the right place for us to spend many happy years.

Brandon did an amazing job of helping my fiancé and I get into our dream home! He went out of his way (literally) to show us a house that we were in love with, and persisted even when we realized the street address on the listing was incorrect. His diligence and alacrity were essential to our success, and we are so grateful for all of his help and expertise! :)

Brandon was very professional and did a wonderful job with this transaction. He kept me focused on the ability of making an offer based upon an Escalation clause that afforded me the Opportunity to raise my bid to obtain the property. I would recommend him on any transaction, large or small.

Socha was very knowledgeable about every property we looked at. She was personable, and such a kind person. She always got back with me in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor and I would definitely use her again.

Socha Goyette sold our home in one day! She helped us price the house correctly and she brought qualified buyers. She handled all the details and kept us informed every step of the way. Socha is a very professional and successful realtor. She is knowledgeable about the area and current market. Personally, Socha is extremely pleasant and easy to work with. We would recommend Socha enthusiastically.

Derek is a true professional and I was absolutely thrilled with working with him. I would recommend him to anyone and already have. You will not be disappointed!

Alex and his team did an amazing job with the sale of our home. He offered great advice on what changes we needed to make and what changes were not important. He was there every step of the process and always responded quickly to questions. This is our 3rd time using him in the last 10 years as a realtor and every time he is both personable and professional.

Alex was very professional as our realtor. His marketing skills was outstanding as our home sold very quickly. Then he guided as through our closing process and made it very easy on us as we were out of the country sellers.

It has been a pleasure working with Alex on my current sale and my sale of three years ago. The distance did cause a disadvantage to me and I was not able to be in Florida during this last sale. Alex is a respectful and attentive agent, who kept me posted on ever stage of development of my sale. He went beyond his duty to accommodate our needs to ensure that I had a smooth sale. I encountered some issues that needed to have the house treated and my furniture disposed of. But Alex saw that the problems were resolved in a timely manner. Thank you Alex for all your support.

Alex is always professional and an open communicator. He knows the industry and listens to your needs and concerns. His strength is his open line of communication and attention to detail. He has his finger on the pulse of real estate and truly enjoys working with people and homes!

Great job. Told Derek what I was looking for, couldn’t find a new community 55+, & Derek sent me info on Cresswind. My husband & I took a ride to see it & were we pleasantly surprised. Exactly what we wanted. Derek was available for any questions I had, gave great advice. I was very pleased to have Derek as my agent. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a professional, qualified RE agent to guide them on any RE needs. Thanks Derek. Ray & Lynn Lake.

Brigette was fantastic in helping us find and close on our dream home in Sarasota. She was available at all hours to answer any questions we had and she was there to go to bat for us throughout the entire process. Thank you Brigette!!!

Bandon did a great job helping us find a fantastic little condo. It was our first condo purchase and was fraught with a variety of challenges along the way but Brandon was always there - right up to the final hour keeping pressure on the lender to get things wrapped up so we could close on time, Thanks Brandon.

Alex Krumm is the BEST of the BEST! This fantastic human is knowledgeable, communicative, genuine, honest, and kind! Have a question? Alex either immediately responds with a factual answer or utilizes his immense resources to retrieve the answer. Alex knows the market, your needs, and the realistic goals to attain your dream home. Alex truly cares about people and it is felt throughout the entire professional process. Thank you Alex!!

Socha worked with us through renting the property and eventually the sale. She did her homework on pricing the property accurately and suggested some minor things to assure we but our best foot forward. Our neighborhood went through a change in builders after we originally purchased and we were most impressed with Sochas knowledge of the area and her ability to sell the value of the construction of our home. Socha is professional, knowledgeable, honest and goes above and beyond for her clients. She is an exceptional realtor and we highly recommend her!

Derek is wonderful. I met Derek seven years ago. I live in New England and would come down for two weeks out of the year, he would show me houses every time.
I finally decided on a property in Venice, just this year. Derek helped me every step of the way. He is kind professional and honest. I highly recommend Derek, It’s refreshing to do business with someone who really cares.

This is my second time using Socha's services. She is so great to work with! The most important thing to me was that I never felt pushed to sell or buy and that is huge to me when dealing with Real Estate. She listens to what you want and need and simply tries to make that happen. She is super thorough on what the market is doing and ending up selling my house super fast at a great price. During the entire process she was right there to answer my questions and work through any doubts and decisions. I really felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and my sale. I will definitely use her again in the future and recommended her to all of my family and friends.

Brandon did a great job selling my land. When I told him what I was looking to get for my property, he went above and beyond to list it. Even when the first sale fell threw he reassured me it was listed correctly and had another buyer within the week. Closing process went very smoothly.

Kayla Lamb has shown to be an amazing realtor and am so happy that my husband and I were able to work with her. She handled the sale of our villa in Sarasota with ease, humor and raw grit!
At one point, she was staging the inside master with new curtains, and the next creating an outside oasis for any potential buyer by installing a sod and pea rock patio.
She was able to create a bidding war for us and we settled on a price that all parties were pleased!
I highly recommend her to anyone. She is currently in search for a larger villa for us in Sarasota. I am confident that she will find us the perfect one.

Kayla went above and beyond in order to get this sale completed. Always kept us informed on updates and concerns if any with the property. My wife and I plan on using Kayla to help us look for our new property.

I have known Derek for several years now. He has helped and a good friend with 4 real estate transactions. Both my friends and I feel Derek is an honest, hard working agent with his clients best interest first and foremost.
I am comfortable recommending Derek if you are buying or selling.

Being from the Midwest, we were in search of a seasonal condo in Sarasota. Derek was recommended to us by friends who had worked with him before. We were immediately impressed by his responsiveness and knowledge of the market. His follow up and follow through made the buying process very smooth. We would highly recommend Derek for any opportunity to buy or sell.

Im so glad Socha was referred to me. As an out-of-state buyer she went above and beyond to help us in anyway she could. She answered every text and email no matter what time or day it was she was basically at our beck and call. I am happy to know her and five stars does not do her justice!

Socha is extremely responsive while maintaining a sense of humor about all the large and small details. Would recommend her to family members and public alike. Low pressure, high guidance, great personal insight for areas and Florida overall. Follow up and detail oriented, always with a sense of urgency from start to finish. We have had two property transaction experiences with her (buying and selling) and both have been handled professionally and perfectly.

We were selling our investment property from a long distance and Socha took care of everything every step of the way. She kept us informed, managed the moveout of our tenants, and provided feedback to make sure our investment showed its best. We can't thank her enough for her help and professionalism. Did I mention she listed and sold our other investment property as well and sold our home when we relocated northeast? Three transactions, all great experiences. We highly recommend her.

Socha sold our last home with expertise and professionalism that I have not experienced before. She possesses the experience, knowledge, negotiating skill and an unmatched level of integrity you will not find elsewhere. Throughout the purchase of sale of 14 homes around the country, I cannot say I have ever been provided with this level of experience.

Kayak is hard working and goes over and beyond to ensure all aspects of the transaction were completed. She offered a variety of services and she personally stepped up to meet with Sarasota County Officials in a successful effort to close open building permits on behalf of the elderly seller. Kayla is a delight to be around and she was focused on finding the right home for us. Her professionalism is unmatched and we’re pleased that she is now listing our current home for sale. I highly recommend Kayla as there is no obstacle she can’t successfully overcome.

Alex Krumm was extremely professional and helpful throughout our entire process of selling our home. Quickly answered any calls or texts. He provided many recommendations for our move, our address change and various other hoops one needs to jump through when one moves. We highly recommend Alex.

We moved here from Michigan and was on, what we felt, a tight timeline to find a home. Nick was with us all the way. From locating homes, to answering questions (anytime of day or night). He is a very friendly down to earth kind of professional, which is hard to find. His concern was for us to find the home that we wanted. Our home adventure took us from Sarasota/Venice to North Port. After, visiting many homes (we where being very picky), we found our home in North Port. Thank you Nick for answering all the "sane and insane" questions, and for your patience. You truly made the "house adventure" feasible and enjoyable.

Great job loos of ups and down but in the end 5stars

Nick was great! Buying a new home is complicated, but Nick thoroughly answered all our questions and guided us through the process. He was punctual and attentive during all our meetings, and offered a wealth of knowledge. We're extremely happy with our new home, and we highly recommend Nick.

We really enjoyed having Derek guide us through our search,negotiations and purchase of our home. Derek patiently allowed us to come to our decision, while offering his input from others experiences. This was the second home Derek has helped us purchase, both were handled with professionalism and care.

Brigette was a wonderful realtor.She helped right from the start long before we left New York and navigated us through the whole move. She helped us with so many things and quickly answered all our calls and texts. She went above and beyond her duties and she found us the house of our dreams.

I am from the Southern Tier area of NY. I first met Derek three years ago after he was recommended to me by the person we rented an AMI condo from for a week. Derek sold her the condo earlier in the year. We had come down looking to buy a single family home as a secondary residence. He showed us several properties I had found on various platforms and a few that he had found as well. I did not expect to fall in love with a condo at Palma Sola Bay Club but I did! Derek suspected that it may be a good fit for us as an initial investment and added it to the list of showings. We bought there that same week! Fast forward to now, we were ready to move to a single family home after getting our feet wet in the Bradenton Real Estate market! I called Derek, he listed the condo immediately, with the best professional photos and video! He featured it on his internet presence and it sold in a matter of days! The search for our new home was then on in earnest. We again looked at several homes, in the span of a few days, before finding this beautiful fit. This man has a wide network of professional resources, does his homework and gives you his full attention. He is an excellent communicator, admittedly, I am high-strung and require a lot of attention. Derek never faltered, providing guidance and support through every step of the process. If he didn't know the answer, he knew who to ask and responded promptly after learning it. To date, that is three transactions he has handled for us and everyone went smoothly with no surprises. I know being a Real Estate Professional is not an easy job but this man makes it seem as though he was born to it. We will recommend him to any and all we meet. I can't imagine that there is any better in Sarasota or Manatee County!

Derek has been one the most professional, experienced and one of the most thorough Realtors we have ever worked with. The whole process was absolutely one of the smoothest transactions we have ever had. He has sold us two condos on Siesta Key and currently has one listed for us. We would not hesitate to recommend him for all of your real estate needs!

Recommended through a friend Derek became our Real Estate agent after a disappointing experience with another neighborhood agent. Derek proved to be the best choice for a hardworking, driven, personable and reliable real estate agent in SWFlorida! He brought in a professional photographer to take photos of our property and boy did they make for a great listing! Even during the covid-19 pandemic Derek continued to reach out to buyers and show my home vertically. Because of this we received a “sweet” offer above our listed price and Sold! My wife whose a teacher commented that “Derek really does his homework “ when it comes to marketing. If you want to sell your home and to feel as if you are the only client that Derek has then choose Derek Patti to sell your home and property.

Socha is a very friendly and competent real estate agent. She listens to the buyer and tries to locate appropriate places. Socha has a vast knowledge of the local areas and the details and regulations of different neighborhoods. I now consider Socha as a friend and confidante. If I have questions or concerns in the future, I feel that I can contact her and she will respond quickly.

Working with Brigitte to help us find our forever dream home has been a real pleasure.
Throughout the past year Brigitte helped us find our home in Florida by sending us listings-homes. We hadn’t moved or sold our
home in the northeast yet, but we had a plan.
When we arrived in Florida thanks to Brigitte we already had a short list of potential homes in our desired area. Brigitte was truly instrumental in expediting the entire purchasing process from start to finish.
Brigitte is kind, consciences, and really goes the extra mile for her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Derek Patti is an extremely competent Real Estate Professional. Derek responded to all of our questions and concerns with easy to comprehend explanations. Derek is a master at making first time, out of state buyers feel comfortable and aware of the buying process. Derek professionally responded to all of our concerns on a timely basis. He was always on time and kept us well informed.

Derek is a ten out of ten super Real Estate Professional whom we'd highly recommend to anyone.

Peter DePaola

Brenda was absolutely amazing! She answered all 500 questions we had when buying our home. She was so dependable, every time we called, she answered. She worked around our schedule 100% which was important for us. She was truly the best! I highly recommend using her :)

Thank you Derek for your excellence in finding me a home and being there throughout the process.

Derek went above and beyond during and even after the purchase of my home.

His attention to detail was awesome and any questions were answered in a timely matter as well.

He continues to help out After the closing.

I highly recommend Derek Patti as a real estate professional to buy or list your home.

Thank for the great job Derek.


John Blackmer

Socha has once again provided me with an awesome home purchase experience. Socha's professionalism allowed us to feel comfortable with every major decision. I enjoyed the personal space she provides to allow one to review all of the options. She always payed attention to the small details and always followed up on any concerns we had along the way. I chose my lender because of Socha but I strongly believe Socha surrounds herself with a GREAT TEAM. THANK YOU SOCHA!

Derek was absolutely amazing throughout our entire home buying process. He is patient and knowledgeable. He will work extremely hard for you and your family to find the perfect. We could not have had a better experience and will definitely be using him for any of our real estate needs.

Most efficient, covered all the details, made the home buying process painless. Brenda is the best, most patient, sweetest Realtor/ Person I have met!

Brenda is a very personable young lady, easy to work with. After my daughter and I found a home we decided to purchase, she initiated a contract, was able to recommend a lending mortgage Co. , Home inspector and Attorney for closing. We thank you Brenda for all your help!

Brenda was able to find my dream home on the first day. Her knowledge of the area and ability to get you YOUR dream home is a phone call away. I would recommend anyone reading this to call her
She is amazing!

Nick helped make the purchase and closing of my condo in Siesta Key seamless. He kept up with all the dates for the exceptions and guided me along. I highly recommend him.

Derek did an amazing job helping us buy our house from out of state. He helped educate us about the area, schools & neighborhoods, assisting us to find that perfect fit. We were confident that he understood what we were looking for and purchased our home after only his video tour. Derek was generous with his time, always willing to go above and beyond to help.

Kayla did an amazing job helping us with our home! She is easily available, answers all your questions and makes the process so easy. Furthermore she is incredibly thorough and does in-depth research so that you know everything there is to know about your potential home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a quality real estate agent. We have moved a lot and I have to say she is by far the best!

I recommend Socha to anyone looking to buy a new home. She is the best ! She got me into a house in 30 days just like she promised . I can't say enough good things about the professionalism , the work ethic , and the knowledge that she brings to the table. Every step of the way she was there to help me. She also has an amazing team that will help you in all facets of getting into your home . You will not be disappointed.

Derek exceeded our expectations. He asked detailed questions so that he was sure he understood what we were looking for, he is a great communicator, he provided information about the areas we were looking in, and he continues to support us as we go through the process.
He has been a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him.

Kayla made everything a breeze! From providing a list of comps to showing and being available to be at the house every step of the way. Also provides excellent service as questions arise during the process!

Socha was absolutely fantastic! Not only is she highly knowledgeable and seasoned in real estate, she is also extremely honest, genuine, and kind. She made it feel more like having a good friend guide us throughout the home buying process. My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves her! Socha also has the best connections that were able to help it all come together. I really dont think we could have gotten the home of our dreams without Socha and her A team :)

We met Alex about two years ago after we decided Sarasota was our next home. In the intervening months Alex sent listings that were within the parameters we wanted. We had a home in Minnesota to sell before we came to Sarasota to find the right house. Based on the existing home market we decided to build new. On 2 or 3 trips to the area Alex showed us homes in at least 6 communities and helped through the entire buying process, all the while tirelessly and professionally responding to our unending questions. We have the house of our dreams, are delighted with the support Alex provided and very importantly, we consider Alex a friend. We thoroughly enjoy every minute we have with him and unequivocally recommend Alex and his team. Caring, understanding, responsive, professional and exceedingly pleasant are some of the traits we have enjoyed.

Even though we were a lot to deal with, Derek was always very patient and professional with us. We would highly recommend Derek to be your Realtor of choice. He can be counted on to do a great job. James & Tina

Derek provided excellent service as he guided us through the purchase process of an investment property. He listened to our requirements and found several properties for us to consider quickly, which allowed us to complete the transaction before the year’s end. Derek was infinitely patient and worked tirelessly to make sure everything went smoothly with the seller’s agent, the lender and especially the condo association. His attention to detail and responsiveness to our questions was greatly appreciated -- Derek is a true real estate expert!

From our first meeting through referral to the closing table, Socha made buying our first home in a new state extremely painless. She knew the areas, had many recommendations and planned out days worth of properties for us to see based off of our preferences. Thankfully her knowledge helped us ask the right questions and put our concerns to rest. At the end of the day, she was crucial in negotiating a final number with us that everyone could agree upon. I would definitely recommend Socha as I know she will provide them the same experience that my wife and I received.

Brilliant worked very hard and efficiently.

Derek was AWESOME! He is professional, courteous, attentive and worked hard to get critical info needed to close our real estate purchase on schedule. He was always focused on our interests and followed up with us during each phase of the buying process and was extremely responsive when we had questions or comments. I would recommend Derek to help with ANY real estate transaction.

Derek proved to be a consummate professional throughout our home search in Florida. Thorough and informative, he provided extensive insight into both the markets and Florida specific issues and opportunities. As out of state clients, Derek went above and beyond throughout the entire process, from our initial visits and home search through the entire purchase and closing. Personable and responsive to our questions and needs, we would strongly recommend Derek to anyone seeking assistance in the Florida real estate market.

Socha was extremely helpful through our entire hone purchase. She went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and had a very warm and welcome attitude!

I would highly recommend Derek as your real estate professional. He always went above and beyond his responsibility to us. He was always available to talk, whether it was a phone call, text or e-mail. He is very knowledgeable and we always felt like he represented us.

Brenda Haenel is awesome!

Work with Brenda!

I would whole heartedly recommend Kayla Lamb. We had several issues surrounding our property purchase and with each one Kayla jumped in, making contacts on our behalf and ensuring each problem was overcome. Without Kayla’s tireless efforts we would have been unable to make our Siesta Key dream a reality. Kayla was truly phenomenal- exceeded our expectations.

Angela Jones

Nick did a wonderful job. Without a doubt I would recommend him to anyone.

I spent several months working remotely with Socha on finding just the right home in Florida. She not only spent a considerable amount of time understanding my likes/dislikes but she went out of her way to make sure I was heard, paying careful attention to all of my feedback. I watched her work day, nights, and weekends in helping me find the right home. During my house shopping trips to Florida Socha would create a detailed booklet of all the homes we were scheduled to view during each day. This was incredibly helpful to capture notes during showings but allowed me to refer back at the end of the day to regurgitate. During my home search, I was also selling my home in Ohio - which sold quickly but it was a horrible experience because I was dealing with a hands-off realtor along and difficult buyers. I often found myself asking Socha for advice and explanation of the process - she really supported me and helped keep my sanity. Her experience and fact based approach made me feel at ease - even during our own negotiations with prospective properties. When she was unsure of certain questions, she would not hesitate to follow up immediately with real estate attorneys or her peers. She is an excellent negotiator! There were times I had to be in Ohio while also staying on top of the Florida house market. Socha went out of her way to arrange FaceTime showings with me - a virtual home tour! That was awesome! Once I found the right home, she offered to be my onsite hands and feet on the ground while I was up north - whether that be for home inspection or meeting the carpet/hardwood floor companies for estimates and installation. In fact, she also helped me chase down utilities, insurance, and home maintenance providers. This is over the top service and trust me, you dont get this with regular real estate agents!! Socha cares deeply about her clients and doing the right thing for each and everyone of them - including me, which was evidenced during every interaction with her. I highly recommend Socha to anyone - she is one of the most tenacious, honest and professional agents in the business today and I am proud to now consider her a friend!

Brandon was very professional. Brandon is knowledgeable he walks/talks you through the whole process with (results) SUCCESS! I would refer him ?? to my friends and family to buy or sell a home. ?

It is my pleasure to say I am a Floridian! Thanks to Brandon my wife and I closed on a property in about 30 days. I would recommend him to do a complete and professional job on anyone’s behalf! Thanks Brandon!

Alex was very helpful in dealing with the builder, particularly when it came to pushing back on deadlines which were too tight. He also offered guidance on issues with which we were unfamiliar. He was also helpful with recommendations for local resources.

Kayla was fantastic through the whole process! super easy to communicate with, and always available for questions. She recommended great people, and helped make the whole process as easy as could be. I would highly recommend buying any future properties through her!

went above and beyond i also Brandon is a very paitent agent very honest and reliable

Buying your first home can be an overwhelming experience, and frustrating when difficult situations arise. Nick made it so much easier for us, and kept us in the loop. Viewing houses with him is relaxing, and easy going. He thinks outside the box, is helpful with ideas on space usage, and hardworking toward helping you find that dream home. Anytime, anyone needs a realtor. We will be recommending Nick. We can't even begin to thank him enough for what he has helped us accomplish.

Brandon was an AWESOME agent! He is very professional, knowledgeable and a good negotiator.
Brandon worked so hard for us to get this beautiful house.
Highly recommended!
Thank you Brandon.

She is amazing. She was there every step of the way and made us feel like we were her only clients. Highly recommend her.

Nick was very responsive and keep us updated form day 1 to the closing. I had complete faith in his services and Next Home. I would highly recommend Nick on selling your home.

Socha was a pleasure to work with and very competent. She assisted me with a complex, challenging sale responding to many difficult issues effectively and with a calm, cheerful demeanor. In fact, I would consider Socha to be the best broker I've worked with in my thirty-year experience buying and selling homes. I would recommend Socha without reservation!

Alex is a dedicated professional and very easy to work with. He kept me informed throughout the process and pursued all avenues to the end. We are still working together on other properties.I have recommended Alex and "Next Home Excellence" in the past and will continue to do so.

My family moved from Cincinnati Ohio to Bradenton Fla. I contacted Coldwell Banker based on the great service ratings and was luckily introduced to Socha Taylor. She truly made the out of town buying process a pleasure. She listened to our house requirements and carefully mapped out our in person showings to ensure the visit maximized our time. Socha spent extra time while we were in town to ensure the remote buying process was seamless. Although we know she was supporting other clients she always responded quickly to any requests, showed attention to detail and provided knowledgeable insight and support throughout the purchase process. A lot of agents will support you through the process but few will work like Socha to ensure the process is smooth, fun and enjoyable.

Theres no better Ive had the honor to meet and know. Shes a friend now and always. She got us both through a difficult time of home hunting and buying. When someone on the seller's side was not so kind when the going got difficult, she helped us along the way with her kindness and good counsel of words and heartfelt advice. A wonderful person! A potential bad outcome turned around with the help of a new great friend. Thankful.

Because of Alex’s exceptional knowledge level of the market we sold our home in just 15 days and over asking. Alex kept our best interest at heart while ensuring he was always upfront And honest every step of the way. Alex is a true professional. Without Alex I am sure I would have had a very different result. Thank you Alex!

Nick managed to keep me focused though the arduous process.

Alex took the time to understand our goals in selling our house. He helped us understand the market and the current real estate trends happening in our area. After speaking with us, he developed a marketing plan that resulted in multiple views, multiple offers, and selling above listing price within 14 days. I will certainly use Alex and his team for any future real estate needs.

Socha was an excellent agent for me and my family to work with, and she made our house searching experience much better than we could have imagined. She was very informed and seemed experienced with what she was doing, while personally going out of her way to make the experience as stress free as possible for us. She truly helped us understand what was happening every step of the process, while being very passionate about her Job. I would Recommend Socha for a searcher/ buyer.

We moved from Melbourne Fl to Parris Fl. Socha was our agent in Parrish. She did an outstanding job for us. She was very responsive and either answered our questions immediately or for the answers very quickly. I would highly recommend Socha.

Brandon Haenel handled himself in an extremely professional manner when assisting us in finding our retirement home in Florida. I highly recommend him as a great real estate agent who will work diligently to assist you in finding your perfect future home.

Alex advised, directed and accomplished a smooth sale. Thank you Alex and staff

Alex and his company were great! Will give more details when I get settled in new home.

Socha was a delight to work with, from start to finish. Responsive to every request, and always friendly and professional. She was proactive to deal with any potential issues, and our purchase/closing was totally smooth and easy. We would DEFINITELY recommend her!!

Our experience with Socha was superb. She is kind, knowledgeable, detail oriented, available and eager to find the right home for her clients. Look no further! Work with Socha!

Socha is amazing. She listens to everything you have to say and takes it all into consideration. She is very understanding and does an amazing job! Highly recommend her!!

My wife and I had the pleasure of accidentally getting Socha as our realtor thanks to Zillow. Its rare to find someone in any industry who is as passionate and dedicated as Socha. She was adaptable to our situation and met with us on our schedule without any hesitation. Her communication and knowledge are fantastic. Shell be able to answer any questions you have and if she doesnt know, she will take time to find out as much as she can. She took a lot of time out of her day to talk to me and make sure that I was comfortable with everything regarding our sale. She surrounds herself with a good team of people who are as epic as she is. I felt confident going into purchasing our first home with Socha as she helped every step of the way to make the experience smooth and fun. And pretty hilarious too. :) She's the best. Trust me.

Socha was so helpful and cheerful along the way, and as a first time home buyer, that made such a difference. She knows the market well, made extra efforts, and had great recommendations for closing folks and partners to use. Highly recommend!

We had a tremendous experience with Alex and his team when we decided to sell our Condo. Alex made the process as smooth and painless as possible - his team was very professional. Our listing generated immediate results and we had a buyer within 3 days of the listing date and closed in less than 3 weeks. If you are looking to Buy or Sell a home in the Sarasota area, Alex's team would be a great choice!

Alex went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me search for and buy the perfect property for my family. I have never encountered a more professional, personable and thorough agent than Alex. His knowledge of the area, the market and how it works was invaluable to me. Thank you thank you thank you Alex, from the bottom of my heart.

Dondi

Craig I would recommend to anyone of my friends or associates. He is very attentive and open and honest with his discussions and councile when it comes to guiding you through the selling process.
I greatly appreciated his drive and dedication.

Nick was extremely professional,efficient, and knowledgeable. He always return my phone calls and emails within 24 hours. He almost always had answers for me from the builder/realtor within 24 hours. I could not have been any happier with a service that I received. I would recommend Nick to everyone I know. He will definitely receive my repeat business.

Alex Krumm was extremely professional, supportive, understanding and patient with us from start to closing and after. Alex has a plan and marketed our home according to plan. Our results may not be the normal but Alex sold the house in two weeks. Alex was very diligent in keeping everything on time for a successful closing. We would highly recommend Alex Krumm and Nextgen realty to all who need anything done when it comes to Realty. Thank you Alex Krumm and Staff for a pleasurable experience.

Sochas skills as a real estate agent belie her years of experience. We first met Socha when looking for our daughters first home. None of us were familiar with the Sarasota area. Though a new real estate agent at the time, Socha was well acquainted with the real estate market in Sarasota. Socha assisted us greatly in locating and acquiring the home. We knew that Socha would be our real estate agent in Sarasota forever. Socha has an abundance of personality, a great attention to detail, and is on top of every aspect of her clients needs and their transactions. She is also very tech savvy, and, you will most certainly be at the recipient of one of her boom texts. You will receive this if you ever ask her if she has accomplished something that she was to accomplish. It means that not only did she accomplish it, but she accomplished it before you even thought of it. A few months ago we contacted her to sell our daughters home that she helped her purchase. Within two days we had a signed listing agreement, she had obtained all the necessary information from the condominium association, and had prepared professional brochures for potential buyers to view and take with them after a showing. Within two months, the home was sold and closed. I am any business and real estate attorney in Orlando. I work with real estate brokers on a regular basis. I can attest that Socia is as good or better than the best of them. I look forward to using her services again when we someday retire in the Sarasota area. Do not hesitate to retain Socha as your agent!

Socha was the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. Whether you are selling our buying, I would highly recommend her to everyone as well as all my friends and family!

Brenda rocks! She helped us every step of the way, so nice, I highly recommend her!

Alex did a tremendous job.

His professionalism and knowledge is priceless and I'll definitely recommend his services to anyone.

Nick Killed it! Was there for the whole process and very helpful along the way! Couldnt have asked for more

SOCHA, WAS WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH IN PURCHASING OUR HOME. SHE WAS TUNED IN, TAPPED IN AND PRESENT. SOCHA NOT ONLY HAS A GREAT ATTITUDE, SHE IS SMART, PROMPT, TIMELY AND VERY PLEASANT. WE ENCOUNTERED A COUPLE OF CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY AND SHE WAS COMPLETELY SOLUTION FOCUSED AND RESOLVED ALL OF THE CHALLENGES PROMPTLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SOCHA!! SHE IS DRIVEN!!!

Socha did a wonderful job marketing and selling my house. She went above and beyond what other realtors have done prior to her taking in our contract. We really appreciate her use if technology to keep us posted on all events. She was patient extremely hard working and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Crag did great job selling my house. It was 4th closing I did with him. It is a reason why I go back over and over again. Easy communication, fast respond , can reach him at any time, great advice given

Crag did great job selling my house. It was 4th closing I did with him. It is a reason why I go back over and over again. Easy communication, fast respond , can reach him at any time, great advice given

Nick Paape did an excellent job selling our home. He went above and beyond his role as realtor, to help us through some unexpected circumstances. We greatly appreciate the hard work put in by Nick and NextHome excellence

Being an out-of-state buyer and looking for a winter home in Florida, I took a chance on Socha Taylor. From the first phone call to her, I found Socha to be friendly, professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable of the Sarasota/Bradenton/Parrish region. Socha Taylor is with you through the process of finding the right home, recommending the right offer, and being by your side through closing and beyond! I would definitely call on Socha Taylor to be my real estate agent in a heartbeat, whether it was for a future purchase or to sell. Over the years I have had several agents and Socha is by far, the best real estate agent I have EVER dealt with!

Brandon followed through from our initial contact to the closing of our new home! He “truly” listens to your wants and requirements for your new home. He is not pushy and has a very friendly patient personality. He is very knowledgeable and will find out an answer for you if he doesn’t know it.

We ended up putting a contract on our home after a quick 4 day search in Florida, which surprised us, since we were flying in to just check out the area.

He is very organized and efficient and made our home search and purchase a super pleasant experience. Brandon was always an advocate for our needs and went above and beyond for us by representing us at our inspection and closing.

I would recommend him highly! You won’t be disappointed in having him represent you!!

Socha Taylor has demonstrated being a highly trained, outstanding professional. She was a positive influence be it with local knowledge and understanding process aside from experience as it relates to many existing laws. She is a people person,........ making one having a feel of being at ease and comfortable in communication. Knowing her for a period of time demonstrated her professionaism..... there is no question as to her integrity. Yes, I would recommend her highly to anyone.

I cant say enough positive things about Socha!!! We were purchasing our first ever boat slip and had no clue how the process worked. Socha stepped up and took the lead on everything (including a not so responsive selling agent) to get us through a successful purchase. Even more impressive is she did this while dealing with the death of her father in law...she was always available, proactive and has such a positive fun personality!!! Socha is AWESOME!!!!!

Socha was a great help in the search of my first home. She was there for me all the time and helped me made my desicion more easy. I will definitely work with her again.

Brenda was fantastic. From soup to nuts, she took care of the mind numbing details and is an excellent cheerleader and hand holder. And, she got the deal done. A true professional and an amazing woman.

Alex did a tremendous job for me.He always kept me updated, and was realistic with the many showings we had with the home.His upbeat personality was a great lift, as he always had a positive attitude. He was also very attentive to good communication, and I was got back to me quickly when I had a question. If you’re looking for someone to sell your home,be sure to talk with AlexHe will do a tremendous job for you, and he is very realistic. Thanks again, Alex

Buying a town home from out of state seemed impossible, but it was really a doable, painless process with Socha's help. I visited only one time from New York and saw very few places. When any came on the market afterwards that seemed like an option, Socha made sure to visit the property in person and send detailed information about it to help distinguish which was the perfect fit. After some searching, we were able to find the perfect property and she really ensured we got it at an amazing price by guiding us through the process that we were close to clueless about. She was super accessible for phone calls and text messages anytime, day or night. For anybody looking to buy a property from a distance, or even from down the block, I couldn't recommend reaching out to Socha more!

Socha Taylor, all we can say is WOW!! After several (maybe 100's) of emails and phone conversations, We finally made the trip up here to find our perfect home. Meeting Socha was the highlight of it all,her personality and attitude is something to behold, she is very professional and dedicated to finding the perfect fit for her clients. We knew what we wanted and she worked hard and to find it for us. Within 1 month we had found, purchased and moved in our new home!! It was a painless process for us as she took care of everything from beginning to end. Not only would we highly recommend her as a realtor, we have a a friend for life.

Alex is such a pleasure to work with! He took the time to listen to the things I wished to find in a home, and was very diligent about searching listings, and taking me on countless showings until I found the one that was perfect for me. As a first time home buyer there is a lot of information I am not familiar with, and he really helped to simplify the process for me, and was very honest about what I should and should not be looking for. I am so happy with the home that I have purchased and I can honestly say it would not have happened without Alex. Wether your a first time home buyer or not, Alex is definitely the person you want to place your trust in to help you find the best fit for you.

Brenda did a great job in finding us our forever home. She worked hard and was patient and supportive. We would recommend her anytime to anyone.

Brandon Haenel is an amazing realtor and someone my family and i now call a friend. This man went above and beyond his call of duty to make sure that my somewhat complicated purchase happened. I live in California and my parents had an emergency and needed a place right away. The distance and 3 hour time difference can be a nightmare, but Brandon made sure everything ran smoothly and that I was aware and part of every step even if not in person. His patience and professionalism are like no other he is kind and knowledgeable and has amazing resources that ensure a stress free and happy home purchase. I can honestly say that i would not be in such a great place emotionally or financially if it weren’t for Brandons’ incredible service, attention to details and prodfessionalism. Looking to buy an investmenet property next and I would not think of using anyone else but Brandon. Thank you!!!!

Brandon made the home buying process so easy! He listened to what I was looking for and came up with great recommendations! I never thought the buying process could be so quick! He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and tried hard to get me the best deal! Brandon worked very hard tostreamline the process. I always felt like he had my best interest in mind and wasn't just trying to make money. I definitely recommend him to others looking to buy or sell a home.

Alex spent time with us and helped us with things we as buyers would not have thought of. Upbeat and encouraging.

Socha was the perfect realtor for us. Quick to respond, laid back and didnt try to push us to make an offer. After a few months she found the perfect house and we couldnt be happier.

Brenda is wonderfully pleasant, energetic and knowledgeable about the real estate market on the FL West Coast. She has been very responsive to all our questions and requests. Brenda provided us with written profiles of each property we were interested in, which made it so much easier to keep track of our likes/dislikes and helped us focus our search. She saw us through from our initial "just looking" stage through the selection, purchase and closing of our new property and continues to be a great resource. We expect our relationship with Brenda and her company, Next Home Excellence to continue for years to come.

Brenda is very nice person. She is knowledgeable in Florida real estate. She always checked out questions, situations and inquiries with knowledgeable sources. Brenda is a reliable person. She is prompt for appointments as well as having necessary paper work with information regarding the property. She makes herself available and helps you navigate the different issues that go along with each property.
As a buyer or a seller, having Brenda working with you, will be a major asset to your endeavor.

Mr. Alex Krumm has worked with me on buying and selling properties. At all times he was knowledgeable, competent and professional. He is a visionary oh how to present property for the optimal price point.His negotiation skills are based on experience and facts. He never failed to get me a “better”price. He goes out of his way to make sure I as a client felt secure and comfortable with the purchase and sale of the properties he handled for me. I would in a heartbeat work with him again and again.

Great help with all parts of our home purchase

We just bought our first home in Sarasota FL, and Brenda was amazing from the very beginning to the last. Our home search began about 3 months ago with Brenda at Next Home . Since then, our experience with Brenda and her team have been simply amazing. She has been very patient and helpful, and we felt that she really cares about us getting the right home rather than making her sale. Brenda has been exceptionally professional in every direction yet very personable that we felt like we were hanging out with our good friend whenever we had meetings with her. We never knew we could have this much enjoyable experience with a realtor. She is just very sincere and honest person who would go miles to make things happen for her clients. Thanks Brenda!!

As a first time buyer I really had no clue of where to start and what the important questions i needed answered before putting in a offer or deciding if a home was a good fit for me or not. But I found Brenda Haenel after calling into her office to ask for a home. I met her The same day . I was interested in and not only did she explain the home buying process crystal clear but she also pointed out things in the home that were good and bad. Brenda really knows what she’s doing and she is not PUSHY in anyway on buying the first home right away. When buying a home you want the realtor to be persistent and reachable. She would let me know if she was going to be unreachable for a couple of hours but she always found a way to communicate with me. I did see about 5 homes with Brenda and with every single one she gave me her honest opinion on my chances of getting the home in this high demand market and although it wasn’t always the best news to hear at least I wouldn’t get my hopes up on a house that was going to go past my price range. I actually had to write only 2 offers and the second offer was accepted because of Brenda's excellent work. She knows how to make your offer competitive and that’s something that is key in the home buying process. She helped me though the whole process from beginning to end and even after the home closed. Brenda is a excellent real estate agent in short words. I recommend her to EVERYONE!!

Brandon Haenel did a great job and worked hard finding us the right home during our move to Sarasota. He was very helpful and answered any questions we had right up to our closing. I highly recommend him to find your next home.

We built our retirement home in Sarasota, while living out of state. Socha monitored the entire process for us from beginning to end. As we only visited two times during the build process, we had complete confidence in her ability to oversee it, as if it were her own. She really understands her clients and can make them think about things, they may not have even thought of. She listens and helps in decision making, which is so important when people are making monumental purchases, such as a home. If you are planning on purchasing a home in the Sarasota area (whether it be in person or long distance) you will feel secure and comfortable and have a very enjoyable time working with Socha.

Socha Taylor is an outstanding Realtor. She helped us with the sale of our Sarasota condo. We are from Michigan and were able to conduct the sale entirely from Michigan, thanks to Socha. Due to her exquisite attention to detail, this transaction was a wonderful experience. She also advised the use of an attorney who she works with frequently, rather than a title company, to ensure all legal aspects of the transaction were handled appropriately, which really gave us a high level of comfort and security. Socha was very accessible throughout the entire process and was always just a call, text or email away.

I dont write reviews unless negative.. But in this instance all I can say is you need her on your side.. She still answers fast 2 months after her job was done.. how many people do that anymore... really...

Alex has represented our family, as both buyers and sellers, on three separate real estate transactions. He has consistently offered a high level of professionalism, responsiveness and communication. He moves through challenges with an optimistic and success-oriented attitude and his "can-do" approach makes for smooth transitions whether buying or selling property. Alex Crumb's service as a real estate broker is hard to beat!

I can't say enough about my realtor, Socha Taylor. I am a first time home buyer and went into this with no clue on how the entire process works. With that being said, Socha was there for me every step of the way. Her service went above and beyond a typical realtor. She was always available for any question I had day or night. She was very knowledge about the area and was a great negotiator on my behalf. She also guided me through the entire loan process which was was difficult process from the start. She never gave up and was never pushy. She genuinely worked to get me the best deal for my situation. I highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat!

Alex is the "go-to" guy for tough closings, large properties, land, probate properties and everything in-between. In my opinion, he is so successful because he never stops working. This guy outworks the competition and uses the smartest, most-savvy techniques to list and sell properties. I have seen him do this at least a dozen times, both for my clients and my personal properties. Never a disappointed customer.

My Name is Anthony Aguilar with Elite Woodwork in Sarasota Fl. Socha Taylor was my realtor for my home purchase. I still feel I could not have accomplished this without her. Socha surrounds herself with a very good team to make sure she can offer the knowledge needed to accomplish her goals. She was very patient and went over all the pros and cons of all my potential choices. She was punctual and catered to my hectic schedule. She knows how to treat an inexperienced or very knowledgeable home buyer. If you want to hire a good person and great team give her a call. -Anthony
