Dear Colliers, there is no way we can ever express our gratitude for ALL you did, far over and above ANY closing (amongst many) that we have experienced. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We love you all!
Our home sale with the Collier Group was the most pleasant and successful real estate experience we've ever had. Our home sold within 36 hours of listing, even before the "For Sale" sign went up. The entire process was superb, including the pre-listing conference, the professional photography, use of the internet, the property showings, interactions with buyers agents, and closing arrangements. The decades of Janis and Ron Collier's experience put us in good stead. Communication was excellent throughout the whole period. We couldn't have been more pleased.
Janis & Ron Collier sold my house at 7523 Ascot Court, University Park In May 2020. She advised me about changes I should make in my home to enhance its marketability. I signed the sale Listing agreement with her on Dec. 13, 2019, and my house was under contract on January 12, 2020- pretty remarkable and much faster than I had expected! In addition, I had Janis' guidance when I decided to build a new home at The Isles in Lakewood Ranch. She provided her invaluable opinion which among other things included helping me pick out the perfect lot. If I'm ever in need of a real estate broker again, The Collier Group will be my first phone call. I will also happily recommend them to any of my friends.Ann Hirsch
