Testimonial:

“We all know that many emotions go along with selling your home. Stress should not be in this equation. My experience with Jeremy Marsh and the Water Pointe Realty Group was nothing but stellar. Jeremy walked me through the entire process, advertised my property and brought qualified buyers. He professionally showed my property and followed up with potential buyers and their representatives. I would highly recommend Jeremy Marsh and his colleagues at Water Pointe with much gratitude!”
-Elizabeth U.

“My wife and I would like to express our sincere gratitude of Jeremy Marsh’s excellent support we received in buying our Florida house. We have purchased and sold several houses in the last decade: four within the last two years and have worked with many realtors & brokers. Jeremy stands out easily as the best of the best! With many factors new to us, he helped guide us through the process of buying in Florida. He focused in on our identified needs and did not waste our time. We were not sure if a condo or home fit our needs best. Jeremy helped us effectively navigate through this process. Jeremy is very well organized and always one step ahead of us, providing updates and action items. This helped put us at ease and reduce the buying process stress. We had a short time window to find a home in Florida and were able to secure a purchase agreement within the first week, enabling us to return to Wisconsin a week early.

Once we had the contract completed, Jeremy’s support did not end. He continued to help us through the remaining processes and provided a list of contractors, including a recommendation for a local chiropractor! We wholeheartedly recommend Jeremy for anyone looking for a Stuart area home and would not hesitate to call him again if the need arises.

We are enjoying the home and all that Stuart, Fl area has to offer.”

Testimonials

Debbie Sopko navigated the entire transaction from beginning to end, flawlessly. It wasn’t an ordinary “everyday sale transaction” in that the owner wasn’t able to participate. We are in North Carolina and had to manage all interactions/transactions 900 miles apart with Debbie by phone, email, etc. Not the simplest of sales, but Debbie made it work without a hitch. Our many thanks to both Water Pointe Realty Group and Debbie. Bravo.
