" To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter to express our appreciation of the service exhibited by Jessica DesPlaines. Buying a condo in SE FL was a new experience for us and Jessica guided us with an expert hand throughout. From the start, where we just happened by luck to meet her at an open house, to the selection, negotiating, and closing on our property, Jessica showed enthusiasm and great knowledge every step of the way. She went beyond what we could have expected. She made the actual purchasing of our property so easy and we didn’t even have to make another trip to FL to finalize the deal. She continued to show her commitment to us as clients and new found friends even after our purchase was finalized. Her local knowledge of the area has been instrumental to us as new residents of Juno Beach. She is so down to earth, a true professional, and always has the client’s interest at heart. "

"Our purchase was completed and we were moved in before we had planned to begin searching for a new property. Doreen Vardalis knew what we were looking for and alerted us quickly. She then helped with suggestions to prepare our residence for sale, made copies, phone calls.... Doreen Vardalis was great to work with and was willing to help in anyway to help the buy/ sell experience “stress less”"

Bobby was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is an incredible resource, very easy to get ahold of, and so very pleasant to talk to. He always has an answer to all of your questions, and if he doesn't, he goes out of his way to find out and always gets back to you with everything you need to know in no time. He's got a wonderful cheery and go-getting personality and is genuinely enthusiastic about helping make your dreams of being a homeowner come true. No amount of praise will do justice--I highly recommend!

Kathy Petrillo helped us find the property we were looking to buy in Jupiter. We had very limited time & she made magic happen in closing the deal. This was about 8 year ago, ever since then she helped find us best tenants for rentals, always available for any maintenance, repair help/ advice. She is our super capable, professional realtor and friend in Florida.

Stewart represented my wife and I to purchase a townhome in Jupiter. Stewart quickly secured us a magnificent townhome in a beautiful community with his great negotiation skills. His attention to detail is impeccable. As you know, purchasing a home has many tasks to complete. Stewart was always available for consultation. He ensured all milestones were met on a timely basis and followed the deal right to closing. I have bought and sold many properties and I can tell you Stewart is truly a consummate professional. He was easy to work with and a great guy. I would utilize him as my agent for future properties. Great job Stewart and thank you for everything!”

Brad is the only realtor that I've worked with that shows that he genuinely cares about what's best for you as a client rather than earning a commission. He will do everything possible to ensure you get the best possible deal selling your home as well as the perfect fit when you purchase a new home. I highly recommend using Brad and refer him to others regularly.

Linda is an excellent real estate agent: knowledgeable, hardworking, and a pleasure to work with. Linda worked with my family to sell our dad's second home in Florida. She went above and beyond to help us prepare the house for sale as we live 1,000 miles away. Linda staged the house, met with contractors, and really did more than anyone should be expected to do to help us get ready to list the house. With Linda's marketing and advertising expertise, the house was listed and sold in a weekend, for more than the asking price. In addition to being a top-notch real estate agent, Linda is a warm and caring person; she became our friend. I would highly recommend Linda Pilnick as a real estate agent.

" There was never a concern about any aspect of the purchase. Chris assisted us in every way he could and made sure that the others and we were on top of the timeline for closing. He helped negotiate price and was diligent in finding a condo even after a previous offer on another condo was not accepted, and when we decided to back out of another. He stuck with us until we were totally satisfied. And, the difficult process to get a loan and the paperwork completed was made easier with his diligence and detail to finding a way to help us get to closing. I can't say enough about Chris and his attention to detail and assistance. The difficult process was made as smooth as possible with the help of our agent, Chris. Again, thanks to him we are completely satisfied with the result. He could not have handled out purchase any better. I am truly thankful to him. "

We had the wonderful opportunity of working with Margot Matot, the sweetest type of MM there is. After interviewing a number of agents we choose Margot to sell our town home and find us a house to make our new home. We had previously attempted the same feat with another agent and had a nightmarish experience. Therefore we were leery about attempting the process again. Based on the previous experience we sat down with a number of agents and truly grilled them until we found someone we were comfortable with efficiently getting the job done. We did not want to do all of the leg work and we wanted someone with expertise and professional grace. We did no realize that upon signing on with Margot, that we were getting everything we wanted PLUS. These errors could and probably would have been overlooked by any other agent. Within less than 1 week Margot had sold out home. ABOVE asking price. Margot Matot quickly became our hero. She proof read all of the documents and made sure we knew exactly what we were getting into. And trust me, the buyers agent made a number of errors in the paperwork. Margot made a point of being there every time the new owners wanted to see our house. She had the unruly task of managing our dogs when the new family came to measure and dream about their new life in our beloved town home. She did not miss an inspection or an appraisal. Now, the hard work was beginning. We had to find a home to live in, and we did not want to pay above asking price. We were on a budget. Good luck with that in northern Palm Beach County. Margot kept her head high, a smile on her face and hit the ground running. Margot's disposition through my stress and anxiety was untouchable. She was able to find us the PERFECT home in our dream neighborhood. She befriended the agent and was able to secure us the home that the American dream is made of for my 2 dogs, 2 toddlers husband and I to build our future together in. She accomplished the impossible and we closed on both houses.

“We were in the market for a vacation home in the Jupiter area. We were introduced to Dean Carter by a family member who lives in the Palm Beach Gardens area. Once we met Dean, we knew we were on the path to finding the perfect home. Dean listened and understood exactly what we were looking for. With the market as tough as it is, and inventory at an all-time low, Dean managed to find us a gem. We're out-of-state so Dean was kind enough to visit listings on our behalf, and provide photos, videos and a very detailed inspection of the space. There were no surprises! We purchased a beautiful town home in Jupiter and I think the only reason we were selected by the sellers, was because of Dean's negotiating skills and experience. Even after we closed, Dean has been so helpful with all of the post-purchase to-do's. We couldn't ask for a better agent. We are so thankful and appreciative. Any locals and out-of-towners looking to purchase property in the PBG/Jupiter area, we highly recommend you call Platinum Properties and ask for Dean Carter - you will not be disappointed!!!”

I recently sold my mother’s home in the Bluffs, in Jupiter. Carol Bartels was our selling agent. She exemplifies professionalism, thoroughness and full transparency. Throughout the sales process, there were several issues to deal with, but because of her complete and prompt attention to the problems, the issues were always resolved and she held the deal together. This was paramount in completing the sale as I live far from the property. She has great relationships with all the workers and contractors who were needed to keep the process moving. There was never a problem that she pushed onto my lap. She took responsibility to handle each situation but always kept me informed and got my approval for any decisions to be made. Her attitude and warm personality always made me welcome her updates and calls. She put her heart and soul into every phase of the listing. I never felt as though she was doing the minimum, just to get the sale closed and the money in the bank. She is very good at her job and is an extremely hard worker who makes it easy for the customer. I have bought and sold many houses throughout the years and I have never been as impressed with an agent as I was with Carol. She was, without a doubt, the best agent I have ever worked with. You are extremely fortunate to have her represent your company as a model for the gold standard of your industry and I was fortunate to have her represent me in the sale.

Christina is incredibly detail oriented. After a long period of not having sold our home, Christina gave us honest feedback on what changes needed to be made. We were concerned about the investment we would have to make to see a return so Christina went out and found a company that would do our repairs and construction with also being paid at closing. She was wonderful and walked us through the entire process while maximizing our profits. Her responsiveness, professionalism, communication, and expertise in the marketplace all deserve five stars!!! We would highly recommend Christina for buying or selling your next home! Thank you Christina!!!

Jon Leighton's use of electronic selection and tracking of possible homes to view and consider was masterful. He quickly understood what we wanted and honed in on those possibilities. We found a home very short order thanks to Jon’s efforts. But, finding the home was only the start. He kept us informed of information that was needed and dates of importance throughout the purchase transaction. This follow-up service was instrumental in keeping the transaction on schedule

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MATT ABBOTT. There are 3 important things we were looking for and found with Matt. 1) Deep knowledge of the area 2) Effective & timely communication 3) The ability to get a deal done within our parameters as a buyer. The 3rd requirement is something you can’t easily pre-screen your realtor to determine but he delivered! Matt is the utmost professional and you should have a conversation with him before hiring your next realtor. One very important note is this is Matt’s full-time job. He is not a part-time realtor who is just starting out.

I had my waterfront home listed with 4 different brokers including some of the biggest brokers in town and for 1300 days with no success. I then listed my home with Jim Kirvin and Chris Small. They provided me a detailed marketing plan and developed marketing materials that far surpassed the other brokerages. They brought me 3 offers in the same day and I finally sold my home. They additionally helped me locate my new home.

Absolutely the quintessential professional! Bill took us through a normally complex transaction and made out of it a simple, trustworthy and incredibly fast closing. It was a joy to work together and a privilege for us to consider him a new friend. Please reach out to him when looking for a world class service and the nicest person you’ll meet.

We recently sold my parents home and could not have had a better experience than Lori. She understood the situation our family was in, she provided guidance and assistance with all that was needed to be completed. We received multiple offers within the first week that our house was on the market and we we're able to close shortly there after. My family and I would highly recommend Lori.

Tom represented my daughter on her first home purchase. Since my daughter was working, I was the primary contact on the transaction. Tom always worked around our schedules, responded promptly and ALWAYS had a resolution for all of the dilemmas that presented. He was very flexible and I felt he was an excellent negotiator. I will definitely call on him when I make my next move.

“Nancy is a South Florida native with an excellent feel for the area. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. This was my first home purchase and I did not know what to expect going in, but Nancy was there all the way, even at the closing. She was always available and responsive to me. I really appreciated her showing me all the houses before we found the one I am in now. ”

Heidi was absolutely amazing. She handled everything for me as I was trying to buy this house while also trying to work. She went above and beyond what I was expecting a realtor to do. What issue arose she handled them for me. Awesome Job Heidi, Thank you so much. I don't think I would have bought this place with out her help.

Sue Dephouse is an excellent realtor she goes about her business straight forward, she doesn't waste your time if the property is not for you she will mention it and let you make the decision. That's her personality, she try's to see her business through the customers eyes but also adds her knowledge to help. Platinum gives her the tools to work with. Sue uses here tools well but also adds the personal touch that's what makes it work. Done
