Becky and Amy did a great job selling my property!

(Becky also represented me when I bought the property seven years ago.) We faced several obstacles, including managing the Buyers' expectations and intricate scheduling requirements involving existing tenants. At every turn, they handled the issues with professionalism, deep knowledge of the real estate industry, and grace. These are the people you want representing you.

When it came to selling our first home many emotions and questions went through our minds.

Was it the right choice? Was it the best decision for our children? Were the children going to be comfortable? We contacted Kajal to help guide us in the right direction. With patience of having two kids under two and great knowledge of the market, Kajal had listed our home within a couple of months. Within the couple of months, she made sure our home was completely ready for the listing. She also made sure we found a good home for our family, in order to keep our boys comfortable. She knew our boys were our number one priority and saw it through. For an exceptional, family-oriented realtor I recommend Kajal Patel for your next sell and/or purchase of your home.

Sweta Parmar

Our family has enjoyed getting to know Dylan over the last few years.

He is very friendly and personable. Our teenagers love talking sports with him and playing basketball together. He is a kind and generous person. We highly recommend him.

Tyler and Shelbie Brown (Pastor of WestHills Church)

Dylan offered his services when I was at my wits end with trying to find a new rental after my previous apartment raised the rent for the new lease for $450.

He sent me several rental properties that he knew met my requirements and was more than willing to look at them with me and research any details. The place I ended up contracting, I knew the minute I walked in that this was the place I wanted to live for the next 2-3 years. Thank you Dylan for helping me find a nice, safe, affordable place for me and my mom.

Kazuko Neely

Amy is phenomenal, she deserves 10 stars!

Whether you are military or civilian, Amy and Becky, are ready for the challenge! There truly is no comparison in the level of dedication, professionalism, and service they provide. We received military orders to Tampa, FL and were shocked at how competitive the Tampa market is. Amy went above and beyond our expectations and found our perfect home fast. Amy and Becky were extremely responsive, thought of ingenious options to be competitive, conducted virtual tours, and even surveyed the neighborhood around the property. Their patience and knowledge of the local area is unmatched!

I’ve know my best friend, Jen, for 25 years and she’s the most reliable person I know.

She was in the customer service industry for almost as long as our friendship so she knows how to communicate well with people. She’s not only a rockstar friend but a wife, mother, & daughter. Oh and her organization skills put the rest of us to shame. Can’t ask for a better person to help you find your Next Home!

Working with Kajal to find a rental home this spring was an amazing experience!

Through the unusual circumstances of the booming housing market, shady business practices of others, and my illness, she never lost her cool. She was so knowledgeable about the area schools, which was a top priority for us. She really got to know us and our priorities and worked tirelessly to get us in the right home in the time we had to work with. We really appreciate her and look forward to working with her again!

Kyle Goyens

Amy and Becky were incredible advocates during our home buying and relocation process.

While we were 1000 miles away from our destination home, they were on top of viewing our home and arranging a facetime for us to see it, as well. The process of coordinating a relocation it bereft with stress, but Amy and Becky were consistently there to offer their professional insights and reassurance when we most needed them. We are grateful for their superior service and highly recommend them to anyone in the market.

She was able to sell our home quickly and everything went smoothly. She is available to answer any questions that may arise throughout the process. She helped guide us to make the best decision for our family. I loved seeing our home posted on social media and sharing with our friends. Her general posts are very informative too.

Kajal is a go-getter and we are happy with our decision have her help us with selling our home.

Lynn Lampley

Dylan did an amazing job in closing the home purchase!

In the midst of construction delays, last minute loan changes and needing to iron out communication between parties were all things he managed very well and brought it to the finish line. He is persistent, communicative, provides you updates throughout the whole process and gets the job done. Greatly appreciate your hard work!

German Brynza

From a very early age, Dylan has had a drive to succeed.

Trustworthy and honest with an entrepreneur sprit he continues to grow. He has managed his own summer business, been a successful coach, athletic director and teacher. I would list my property with him without reservation. He will work hard for his customers and clients.

Sheryl Weir

In our era of easy-to-access information coupled with our own self-produced beliefs–from bits of knowledge streamed via Google requests–we believe we have found a pair of voracious administrators of truth.

From the onset, Amy and Becky approached us with empathy, confidence, and deep knowledge of their industry. They clearly stated the sequence of events but empowered us with information and guidance. The following are a set of qualities that come to mind that may help readers of this review. GUIDANCE. We spoke. They listened. They understood our plight from the very beginning and made sound recommendations. EMPATHY. Relocating is considered to be one of the most highly emotional life events. At the end of our first meeting, their parting words were that they would treat our home with respect and treat us like family. They kept their promise. FULL SERVICE. Our transaction was not simple, however, with Amy and Becky at the helm, all complexities were removed. Their knowledge of the market area along with their bevy of service contacts allowed us the freedom to focus on the relocation itself. Need real estate representation? We recommend Amy and Becky.

Ralph and Joe P.

Having shopped for a home before, I was excited to do it again after selling my first home.

Little did I know that it was going to be tough this time around. After many attempts to even see a house in person before it went pending to unaccepted offers, Kajal made sure she was by my side regardless. She made time around my work and family schedule to see houses. Once she knew what I was looking for she even recommended some houses to look at. Kajal was also honest when she felt like a house wasn’t going to work for my family. With her impeccable knowledge in this high-demand market I knew I made the right choice choosing her as my realtor. When time comes again I will be calling her for my next sell and/or purchase.

Tanya S.

Kajal was very knowledgeable about the real estate buying process and offered great advice.

Kim Hardee

I've known Dylan for several years and can tell you that he's a hard working motivated guy.

If he says he'll do something, consider it done. When we first met he was working as a teacher, running a small business that consumed a lot of hours, and going to school for his Master's degree. I'm sure that he's happy to have those days behind him but I know he'll put that kind of effort and energy into helping you. When you meet, ask him about lobsters!

Richard Bloom (Retired)

Those who truly know Jen know they can always depend on her to follow through on her word. I would most definitely recommend Jennifer Lazzara, knowing she will be the best she can be for the betterment of her clients.

Jennifer Rogers (At Home Wife & Mom)

I have known and had the pleasure to have worked with Jennifer Lazzara for at least 20 years.

For the vast majority of that time she worked in a supervisory position. She's highly efficient and dedicated to whatever project is set before her, as well, she is a patient, honest and loyal person who can handle any situation with grace and aplomb. This, all while being probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. Jennifer is truly a rare gem, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for literally anything.

We spent many hours and road trips together and Jen was always willing to do anything needed to make the competitions fun for not only the kids but parents as well! She is always willing to help and go the extra mile to get things done. I’m excited for her new journey and know she will be highly successful!

Tanya Sommers

We met with Becky and Amy with the understanding that we needed a full service experience in a listing agent.

This meant house staging, cleaning, showing, final clearing/cleaning and closing. The house got multiple offers and Becky did a great job presenting them. Ultimately we were able to close within a month. If you are looking for a full service experience, a professional team as a seller or buyer, they are the team for you.

She was able to quickly find and recommend the properties that were most suitable and desireable for me. She gave me excellent advice on price negotiations and closed both the purchase and sales deals effectively, with truly effcient processing of all the needed documents.I can recommend Ms Blake, without the slightest reservation, for all real estate transactions."

"Becky is amazing. After months and months of searching for a home, my husband and I found one we were interested in, and from the day we viewed the home, all the way to the day we closed, she was there every step of the way. Anytime we had a question or concern, she responded back very quickly. She had lots of knowledge about the area, as well as lots of knowledge regarding the buying process which was extremely helpful being first time home buyers. It's a shame she can't sell homes all over the state, because I would literally recommend her to everyone I know. Honestly, it was like having a great friend helping us through the entire process. Very thankful for her."

"Becky Blake is the best agent I have ever had of any type. There is no doubt in my mind that I would never have been able to close on my new home if she had not been there with me every step of the way . She has an extensive knowledge of the real estate process and a terrific network of contacts. When I buy another property she is the first person I will call. Thanks Becky!"

"My wife and I were first time home buyers, and thus total novices at the home buying process. Becky was impressively knowledgable, attentive, and kind. She held our hands throughout every step of the home buying process, from searching for properties right up to closing. She helped us get our mortgage and really helped us feel secure and confident every step. I could not recommend Becky more strongly."
