Jody Riback

★★★★★
"This past September, we made the very abrupt decision to move from New York to Florida. I called Jody Riback, a broker at Compass, I knew of who lived there. Our initial discussion lasted an hour covering everything from homes to my 10th grade daughter starting a new school mid year. By the end of the conversation, I had an email with 11 homes that fit what we were looking for. I instantly fell in love with number 11, a brand new listing. Jody worked her magic and got us the first appointment available to see the house, we did a safe, (very) socially distant, virtual walk through and within 72 hours of my first conversation with her, we had placed an offer on our actual dream home without even seeing it in person. We could never have made this move without Jody’s knowledge, guidance and assistance. Her pleasant and positive outlook made the entire process so easy! She helped us in every way shape and form, from discussions about drivers licenses, power washers, painters and cleaning services all the way to actually being at my new house when my boxes were delivered. Simply stated, Jody Riback is the complete package when it comes to brokers! " Stephanie and Michael

"My husband and I decided “maybe we should explore the option of buying a home in Florida” a couple of months into COVID. Within a few days, we had many conversations with Jody regarding what we were looking for both in a community and in a house. Jody abided by our budget, sent us many listings that fit our needs, took us on FaceTime appointments, met my parents who she then took in person to homes while FaceTiming us, and within two weeks we made an offer on what turned out to be our home. Jody listened to us, pushed for us when the offer was made and negotiations began, and we always felt we had an amazing ally on our side. We cannot say enough about how Jody made a very stressful and strange home buying experience a fairly simple one!" Janice and Allan Katz

"My family moved to FL in the middle of the pandemic. We connected with Jody while we were still living out of state, showing us homes virtually at first. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and worked with us to prioritize our needs. Although we were looking for a home during a high-stress time, in a very competitive market, Jody made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She was continuously putting us at ease. Jody was always available - whether to show us a house or talk on the phone to hash out the pros and cons of particular houses. Jody is amazing at what she does. She was never pushy and I felt my best interests were always at the forefront of her mind. She went above and beyond the basics of her job and also worked very closely with our closing attorney making suggestions to modify terms and agreements in our favor. Using Jody as a broker allowed us to find a home we love and we felt as though we were in good hands every step of the way through the process." Amy and Michael Tier

"If you’re looking to buy a home in South Florida there’s only one person to call, and that’s Jody Riback at Compass. When the Coronavirus pandemic was really bad in NYC, we reached out to Jody. Having the foresight and the knowledge to see that the South Florida market would be moving quickly, she wasted no time to secure appointments to see homes. Wearing gloves and a mask, Jody took us on many virtual tours. She was accommodating to our schedule, going out early and staying late. She’s also incredibly patient and made repeat visits to help us feel like we were there, standing right beside her, inside the home. We ended up buying an amazing new home without having ever set foot inside! Jody made this process easy and we’re so thankful to her for this. It’s amazing to think that we had such a comforting and pleasurable experience during a pandemic, but that was only possible thanks to Jody Riback. She is the best real estate agent that we’ve ever worked with and we really can’t say enough good things about her." Sincerely, Cari and David
