Ajay - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just wanted to call out that Jesse not only helped us buy are starter home in Orlando (see below), but then he also helped us sell that home at a winning deal AND purchase a new forever home! I wouldn't trust anyone else. Jesse is invested in his clients, he gives you 1000% every time. He knows how to navigate the entire buying and selling process. Also, when things get tough, he knows how to close the deal to get you what you want. It's not a fluke that he has such incredible reviews - it's just who he is! You'll be lucky to have Jesse on your side!
My wife and I had a quick schedule to find a place in the Orlando metro area. Jesse was referred to us by our local realtor in Washington, DC - and it was the right choice! Jesse is hardworking and really wants to help you find exactly what you're looking for. He is caring and compassionate and understands the stresses of house hunting. Furthermore, Jesse is organized, before the viewings begin, he provides all the information needed to find the perfect home in one clean and easy to read portal. Even in a chaotic market, Jesse made sure we got what we wanted, at the right price. To those who are looking for the right realtor, Jesse is the man! Thanks to Jesse and Team!!

Jesse was the perfect realtor to help me and Melissa sell my parents' home at Colton Drive in Orlando when they were no longer living there. Jesse was the ideal realtor from the beginning, when he met with us at Colton Drive and looked over everything. Jesse was very careful and thorough in his handling of reviewing my parents' home then gladly accepted the task of helping us sell it in a timely manner. I look back at this experience and truly feel that Jesse was the one meant to help us sell my parents' home! Melissa and I most heartily recommend Jesse to sell anyone's home because he's the best realtor you can trust! Thank you so much, Jesse. We will always remember what you did for my family!

We were moving back to the Orlando area in a very competitive market. Jesse and his team knew exactly how to approach getting us the home of our dreams. After losing several deals, a friend recommended we work with Jesse. We made the move to work with Jesse and we got the first house we made an offer on. It was a very complex deal for various reasons and he made sure we completed this deal. He guided us through every step of the way and was available to us at any time. Also, he is very connected and has relationships which helped in us not only get the deal, but we paid well under asking. I highly recommend him not only because he is a great person, he cares, but he will work harder than anyone else to make sure his clients get their home. Thank you Jesse!
Lauren Paul ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Moving from one state to another with two young kids and a busy schedule can be a daunting undertaking. Jesse and his team did a fantastic job for us and are true professionals as we were searching for a home in the Orlando area. Jesse was there to help with each step, including touring homes for us, providing insight and comparison between properties and sending us videos that made it feel like we were there with him!
He also recommended a mortgage broker to us that was communicative and incredibly easy to work with!
Prior to closing, our flights were delayed which meant we were not able to complete a walk through on the property. Jesse stepped in and toured the home, which was in incredible condition to give us peace of mind in closing.
If you are looking to purchase home in the Orlando area, look no further. I give Jesse and his team my highest recommendation. And when we get the itch to move again, we know who we will be calling!
