Testimonials
Working with Rachelle Kaplan was a very positive experience. Due to the fact that I am in California, the house had not been maintained well and my sister-in-law was not very cooperative, I have to say Rachelle handled all of this to my complete satisfaction. Any questions I had and I had several, she answered promptly and clearly and I always came away with a thorough understanding. It was a pleasure working with your firm and I appreciate all the help I received. I could not have asked for a better agent than Rachelle and would certainly recommend her to anyone who might inquire. – John M.
Rachelle Kaplan was the exclusive agent for the sale of our Coral Gables property. Rachelle immediately and correctly analyzed our situation and embarked on a campaign to attract prospective buyers. She effectively did the aforementioned as well as dealt with showing/scheduling of the properly considering it was leased at that time. Rachelle kept us informed every step of the way via c-mail, fax and telephone – until the sale was completed. I would – with complete confidence – highly recommend Rachelle’s services. – Larry P.
Rachelle was friendly, continually available to us, and very proactive. We were understandably anxious about renting a place sight unseen, but we quickly came to realize we could trust her good judgment and taste. She got a clear sense of what we needed and her familiarity with neighborhoods and buildings was invaluable. She personally went and checked out any number of places, sent us photos, and reported to us what we couldn’t see on a website. And when we finally found the right place, she was right there to make sure we were first in line. She handled the cumbersome process of getting us approved by the landlord and a conservative condo board. Without her, we would not have been able to negotiate all this long-distance. What’s more, Rachelle helped us find furniture and have it delivered, and then insisted on picking us up at the airport when we arrived and bringing us to our new home! I can’t express how grateful we were to arrive in a new city feeling like we already had a friend here. We love our home; it’s exactly what we had hoped for and more. – Debra. D
Words do not express accurately as to how nice it was to work with Rachelle on this deal. Rachelle is a true professional and honestly works hard to protect the client’s interest. It was a true pleasure to work with Rachelle and I hope we have the opportunity again in the near future. – Jill C.
Rachelle Kaplan is the best realtor that we have had the pleasure of working with. The sale of my mother’s home was the most difficult sale to take on and believe me when we say she didn’t blink. From the condition of my Mother’s home to taking on two lawyers, another realtor, the buyer, and a home that must go thru probate and all the individuals involved including myself, my brother and my other brother’s children she still treated us like family and kept us informed as best she could with everything that was happening. There were many questions at the beginning about how to sell this home but she stuck by her guns with how to sell the home and believe me when I say we were all flabbergasted with the price she got for this home. Needless to say she knows her stuff from top to bottom. She is the most pleasant person to work with. Anyone that hires her to be their realtor has hired the best around!! – S. Gail S.
We don’t know how Rachelle did it but she completed a successful sale of a unit that had lots of competition with very few buyers! We are happy we got to meet you while we were in Miami. Thanks to Rachelle for making the sale happen. – Jeanne & Richard
We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent to help us find our dream home in Coral Gables! Rachelle quickly understood what we were looking for (and what we weren’t. Despite the extremely tight market, she quickly zeroed in on a home that was the perfect match. Not only that, but she helped us every step of the way from offer to closing, appreciating as she did our relative inexperience as first-time buyers. We can’t recommend her enough! – Buddy B.
I just want to let Rachelle know how appreciative I am for all she has done her me. This was a huge transition in my life, and because of her, I am living in a place and area that totally suits me, which makes this new place I’m living in so much more comfortable. The Grove is very cool and I am taking some neat bike rides. – Kyle
It’s been just 2 years since we met Rachelle and already she has helped us move into 3 properties. Rachelle has gona far beyond the call of duty and showed us a level of commitment and generosity that leaves us forever in her debt. – Yeni & Yasia
Rachelle went above and beyond her job, and many would have lost patience with us confused New Englanders long before Rachelle. We love our apartment, especially the mango and coconut trees. – Paula & Michael
