DeLieto Team Testimonials
she was great
I have known Lee DeLieto for approximately 17 years and have worked with him in a number of circumstances on real estate transactions. He is a consummate professional and a gentleman at all times in his business dealings.
Efficient pleasant and effective
5 STAR, SUPER BROKER, LEE DELIETO. Lee is a consummate professional. He worked tirelessly on my behalf. Lee puts in the hard work with pragmatism, great communication, and skill. I would never go to any other broker on the West Coast of Florida. Lee is my guy for any and all real estate transactions.
There is one thing you should know before starting your own real life version of "House Hunters", and that is: If you haven't spent time with Valarie Wadsworth - you're not spending time with the right Realtor. From day 1 Valarie was dedicated, thoughtful, and focused on finding us the right house. She understood when to share her thoughts on a property, and when to just let you guide your own way through a home. And although she is a realtor by day, you can tell that it means more to her than that. She builds relationships, develops an understanding for who you are, and then delivers quality opportunities and options to consider. We spent 6 months with Valarie while looking for our first home, and she never once made us feel like we were wasting her time. It has been a year since we [...]
As a non-local property owner, I knew that finding a great tenant for our commercial office building would be challenging in a soft market. I needed to partner with a real estate professional with strong commercial experience who I could trust to best represent my interests. Lee DeLieto Jr. and the DeLieto team were highly recommended to me and I am so pleased to say that Lee went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. Unflagging in his representation and support, Lee coordinated showings, facilitated the exit of the outgoing tenant who had occupied the space for 12 years, met with contractors and reviewed property improvement plans. He used his experience to find the best price and positioning for the building in the market, and we had just begun negotiating with an excellent [...]
Our home buying experience with Valerie could not have been better. Valerie guided us through the bidding process, the home inspection process and the closing with total professionalism. She provided us with our options and always respected and represented our decisions with 100% support. I would recommend Valerie as a buyer's or seller's broker without reservation.
Hello- I just want to say that working with Valerie & finally purchasing a home in Sarasota downtown was absolutely wonderful. Above all what I admired about her was her honesty and her true interest in my concerns and expectations. My purchase is very small when you look at the big picture, but she was very attentive even so. Valerie made all the difference in the world as far as me moving ahead to purchase the property.
We wanted to buy into Gillespie Park 7 years ago. We picked a home across the street from Valerie that was not for sale at the time. She hunted down the owner and persuaded him to sell. We have been her happy neighbors ever since. She is the best.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had Valarie Wadsworth – Lee DeLieto as our agent. Val's experience and professionalism has served us very well, especially when we were beginning to get anxious about our first home not being sold and settlement was fast approaching on the new home. Val reassured us and told us to relax, that it would all work out. It worked out exactly as Val said it would.
Valarie Wadsworth went above and beyond our expectations. Valarie is a consummate professional.
Valerie provided the Best Selling Skills in Real Estate EVER!!! Challenges at every turn, Valerie handled it all with expertise and professional enthusiasm. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Love the technology that alerts you to showings and reviews. I recommend Valerie and know she will handle any property she represents with protectionism and a determination second to none!
