Coldwell Banker M. M. Parrish Realtors: Reviews
Fantastic experience: had a contract on our house within a week with a full-price offer. Sandra did an excellent job keeping everything on track and communicated clearly with all parties throughout the entire selling process. As a home-grown girl with over 25 years of experience selling real estate in North Florida, she truly knows the market inside and out. She made what could have been a stressful situation feel smooth and straightforward. We truly appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the nice feedback. We'll be sure to share your comments with Sandra.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I owned a house in Black Acres, which we needed to sell. I’ve known Patrick Hare for a number of years and he’s helped me out in the past, so he was the first person I called As always, he was very responsive, came out, took photos of the house, gave me suggestions of things to prepare, actually talked me into raising the price, which I wasn’t sure was a good idea. He then quickly got the property listed, and even at the higher price we started getting calls immediately. In less than a week, we had a contract for close to a full offer Patrick worked with me and the buyers agent and made the transaction as smooth as possible Having been in the military for 30 Years, I have moved around quite a bit and have sold over 20 homes This was the quickest and smoothest sale I’ve ever done We are very grateful to Patrick and Coldwell Banker and would recommend your services to anyone Well done.
Thanks for the great feedback. We will be sure to share it with Patrick.
Fantastic experience: Michelle and Tony Tell where so patient with us and never made us feel pressured in to buying. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. They answered every single question and made our buying experience super easy. We are a Team Tell fans forever.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Cathy Tyrrell took my property, priced it, put it on the market, and kept it fresh thru about four months. Vacant undeveloped land on a dirt road takes patience and expertise. Cathy never doubted. Thank you, Cathy, for a job well done.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Working with Cindy the last few years has been the bright spot of my life. She’s treated us with respect and protected our interest like an older sister. Nothing but good things to say on her behalf. We’ve worked with other Realtors who seemed to always be looking at the clock or self dealing and I feel like Cindy genuinely likes the challenge of making the deal work out. She helped us with pricing where my gut Instinct would’ve taking the transaction down a bad path. Cindy was the voice of Reason and just the right town as well. Would recommend 10 out of 10.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: We moved from another state and had not purchased a home in 40 years, so we needed a realtor who would help us through the entire process of buying one. Annette Armstrong came to us highly recommended – and for good reason. In a word, she was fantastic. Annette guided and advised us without pressure in purchasing our new home, and she patiently stayed with us as we navigated two bogus buyers in the sale of our previous home. Annette’s knowledge of the market and negotiation skills enabled us to get the home we wanted despite a competing bidder. After the purchase, Annette has continued to stay in contact providing advice on various services and amenities in the area. We made the right choice for a realtor – and now have a new friend!
Thanks for the super review. We'll be sure to share with Annette.
Fantastic experience: I both bought and sold my condo in a difficult market and still, Jeff Quigley was fantastic. He has been working and living in the Gainesville area for many years and knows it very well. I cannot recommend him more highly.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish Realtors and especially with our Realtor, Jacqui Knowles. Jacqui guided us through every step of the process and helped us get our family home of nearly two decades ready to sell. We were under contract in less than a week, got nearly our asking price and closed in one month. We are tremendously grateful for Jacqui's expertise.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Most professional and Phenomenal company to work with. Exceeded my expectations and sold our house quickly!
Thanks for the great review. Rana Schafer will be happy to know you had a great experience working with her.
Fantastic experience: My farm was under contract in less than 3 days of being on the market and the next thing I knew I was closing at my asking price in 30 days. No hiccups! I think that says it all. I have had the great pleasure of selling several properties with MM Parrish Coldwell Banker working with both Michael Kitchens and Martha Cornelius over the years. The experience has always been excellent in every way no matter the market. Martha has always gone above and beyond to help me prepare my property for sale from a historic house in High Springs, vacant land and most recently my beautiful 60 acre farm in Gilchrist County. She has helped me in the most meaningful way to find cost effective ways to make my property ready for the market. Michael’s laid back confidence and support of his team are evident at every turn. He even put me in touch with an outstanding team of Coldwell Banker Realtors in the area where I relocated. I truly appreciate the honest and professional service I have received from this firm. They stand the test of time!
Thanks for the kind words and the 5-stars.
Fantastic experience: Both Lauretta and Rana walked me through the selling process with no hitches, even though it was rather complex. I couldn't be happier with how they handled my sale.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Annette Armstrong is an outstanding realtor—professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated. She listened to my needs, guided me every step of the way, and made the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the Gainesville area My family and I, will always appreciate all your help
Thanks for the 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: I have used Realtor Joanne Lawlor for years who works for Coldwell Banker MM Parrish in Gainesville, Florida. She is the best when I am either selling my home or buying a home. Her patience in finding me exactly what I am looking for unbelievable.. Joanne is the BEST and I can’t say enough great things about her.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Selling our beloved home and finding a short term rental was a very smooth process. Jeff is highly professional, knows the Gainesville housing market inside-out and very attentive to details. His communications were accurate and timely, and he made the process as easy as possible for us. Now that the sale is closed, he continues to be available and responsive. We highly recommend this company!
Thanks for the great feedback. We'll be sure to share your nice comments with Jeff Quigley.
Fantastic experience: As first-time homebuyers going through this process while over 30 weeks pregnant, Cindy Birk was the MVP. I expected to be overwhelming stressed out throughout the process of searching, putting in an offer, and everything up to closing, and I was not stressed at all because of how professional, responsive, and competent Cindy is and the way she is able to break down and explain everything in ways that are easy to understand. Cindy went above and beyond every day, is an absolutely light, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! We love our new home and are so thankful for Cindy, the superstar!
Thanks for sharing the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Mark Stern doesn't just list your property he's available to answer question and walk you through the whole process.He is always just a text or phone call away..It was a pleasure to have him as our realtor.
Thanks for the nice feedback about your experience working with Mark.
Negative experience: This company has been a disaster since day one of working with them. They nickel and dime you for everything that goes down and when you start disputing things when they are not properly doing there jobs or make requests to get things done they will shut you down and drop you from property management services. Don't forget these people work for you and you pay them for services. They should be in consistent contact with you of your business that this is where they lack. I have countless messages of being left on read that will posted online regarding this company. Please avoid as much as you can as an investor
Hi, Michael. We're sorry you're frustrated. We're also confused because our company does not offer residential or commercial property management services of any sort. If you'd like to speak with our company leadership, you may reach J. Parrish, the owner, at 352-317-1635 anytime. We're also happy to recommend good property managers in this area who can help you. Because we don't provide management services, we often refer owners to other local companies who do.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Everything was handled well and efficiently. Cathy Tyrrell was an exceptional agent and we were pleased with her service every step of the way.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Kris Kelly with Coldwell is awesome. Her professionalism and desire to make the home buying process as easy as possible on the client is unmatched. Simply put...she is the best!
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Andrew helped us through the whole process, he visited every single home with us until we found the house of our dreams. He is very communicative and always makes sure everything moves efficiently and smooth within all the parties included. He is very familiar with the areas he works with and will answer pretty much any questions you have. He made this experience very easy.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Andrew Beneze was excellent. He is very knowledgeable of the region where we were shopping. Our purchase and sale process had many issues caused by the lender and Andrew got them all smoothed out for us. We closed in the end and we are very satisfied.
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: Annette went above and beyond in helping my family sell my mother’s home. She wasn’t just a realtor—she was like family to us during this time. Her guidance, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire process so much easier. I trusted her advice completely, and she exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t have asked for more from a realtor. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Martha was great she helped us find a house and also helped me find a buyer for my home. She kept me up to date on the process and gave us reviews from potential buyers.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Annette Armstrong, our realtor is a no-nonsense lady. She’s very focused, professional, reliable and very responsive. One step ahead of everything (as my husband says, she does things above and beyond). All inquiries and needs in selling and buying a home are answered, met and promptly delivered. She was ready to help us until the end of the process. Our experiences with her made us feel we were definitely in good hands. With our repeat businesses with Annette, we can definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a very reliable, honest and professional realtor.
Thanks for your review! We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Annette.
Fantastic experience: Andrew Beneze is one of the best buyers agents you can have. He's quick with replies to any questions you ask in person or through text. Very knowledgeable, patient and was dedicated to finding me a perfect home according to the needs i told him i had. He will guide you through every step of the process and has good negotiation skills when dealing with the other agents. Thanks to Andrew i am now settling into a home i am proud to have. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a reliable buyers agent.
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: Jacqui Knowles is a phenomenal realtor. We trusted her with our home buying and selling process in Gainesville. She was knowledgeable and honest throughout both the initial purchase and the later sale of our home. I'd highly recommend her services.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Sandra Moorehouse went above and beyond showing many homes to my fiancé and me. She listened to us and helped find what we were looking for. We highly recommend Sandra and your company.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience with Shawn Spence-Thomas. He really listened to what we wanted in a house. He did a great job of negotiating for us. He always had our best interest at heart.
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience with Andrew Beneze. He first reached out to get the areas we had considered and what we were looking for in size, price and conditions. He graciously worked with us considering work schedules and even agreed to view homes multiple time when only one of us could view at a time. He was always reachable or would quickly follow up when he was otherwise busy. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, had extraordinary knowledge and experience, and the patience he showed us as first time buyers was superb. And the thoughtful housewarming gifts we had delivered was a cherry on top. 10/10 on all fronts and I can and will recommend Andrew repeatedly.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Our realtor, Andrew, is amazing! He got to know us right away so we could talk about what type of property we were interested in for our first home purchase. He went out of his way to even arrange a showing of a house that wasn't even listed yet. He arranged showings extremely quickly so we can see multiple houses before ultimately deciding to buy our dream home! He was extremely knowledgeable and communicated with us every step of the way, even with us looking at homes during the holiday season. We are so appreciative of Andrew and highly recommend him!
Thanks for the nice review of your experience working with Andrew Beneze.
Fantastic experience: Cindy Birk is a great realtor - efficient, thorough, and fun to work with. The photos taken of our house show it off to great effect, and will surely help get a quick sale!
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! Our agent, Cindy Birk, knew the market well and handled the sale of our home perfectly. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: I don’t think a better agent than Patti Alvarado exists. She was a pleasure to work with and took me from the initial offer I made on a property to closing in 18 days. Patti worked tirelessly to make sure a new roof was installed on time and arranged for the home inspection, appraisal, and termite/pest inspection. Plus, she quickly responded to any questions or requests I had (and there were a bunch). Patti also coordinated to have the house deep cleaned the day before my household goods were delivered. My move from out-of-state was as stress-free as possible thanks to Patti. She’s at the top of her game!
Thanks for the nice feedback about your experience working with Patti.
Fantastic experience: Our agent, Jacqui Knowles, made finding our dream home a breeze. She was with us every step of the way…guiding us through the offer, being there for every inspection, assisting with closing as we were out of town, to welcoming us on our first arrival. She went above and beyond…what could have been a very stressful experience trying to buy a house from out of town, was a great experience. We’re just so thankful she was in our corner.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Rana was exceptional! Her communication skills and deep knowledge of the Gainesville area made our home-buying experience smooth and enjoyable. She helped us find the perfect home for our family. We highly recommend Rana and M.M. Parrish Realtors to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Our realtor with Coldwell was Shawn Spence-Thomas. He was awesome!! We had a several hiccups, with one of them, me relocating overseas with a huge time difference.. Despite time difference, Shawn was always available to assist. He cared greatly that we got the home we wanted and went beyond to make sure we were happy. Shawn... you are awesome. Thank you for putting up with me!
Thanks for the great review of your experience working with Shawn.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Jeff Quigley. He is without a doubt the most knowledgeable and hard working real estate agent i have ever encountered. He goes above and beyond in all matters and his advice is always rock solid. He is realistic in his pricing and shares the historical status of the market telling you the facts not just what you want to hear. My house sold in 3 days. Thanks Jeff and Coldwell Banker. Sandra Lehrer
Thanks for the fantastic 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: As a broker myself I'm not the easiest customer to work with so when I hired Jeff Quigley he had his work cut out for him. Despite a difficult market with higher interest rates, he got the job done and we're thrilled to be moving on to the next chapter in our lives. Thanks Jeff and CBMMP!
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with M.M. Parrish! They helped my partner and I find the perfect home so quickly, and we got a great deal! Claire Jacobson was so professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Would absolutely recommend!
Thanks for the nice feedback on your experience working with Claire Jacobson.
Fantastic experience: Joann Whitworth is SIMPLY THE BEST!!! This was our second time in 11 years trusting in her to help us first with our purchase in 2013 and then with the sale in 2024. She is the GOLD STANDARD for realtors in Gainesville!
Fantastic experience: From throughout the past seven months+, working with Jeff Quigley has been an amazing experience! Jeff has been phenomenally responsive, insightful, knowledgeable, and helpful on every aspect of our home-buying journey. My husband and I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking to buy a home in Gainesville. If we could give him 10 stars we would. Thanks so much, Jeff!!!

Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Jim was in our corner from the first day we spoke to him up to the day of our closing. We couldn't have had a more engaged realtor, who kept us informed every step of the process of buying our new home. We would recommend him to anyone seeking a home in the area. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Our agent, Rana Schafer, was absolutely the best realtor we’ve ever had. She was professional, knowledgeable, and understood our family needs perfectly. She was incredibly responsive to all of our endless queries and was just a joy to work with. Highly recommend her.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Tony Mele went above and beyond in finding my wife and I a new home. He kept us updated on every step of the new-build process. We have used four different realtors for buying and selling previous homes (in other areas) and Tony is the only one I could confidently recommend to anyone!
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Marion Mark is professional, experienced, honest and absolutely brilliant. With all of these qualities, I will never consider a different Realtor for my real estate wants and needs. Thank you for asking I am Mollie j. Adams
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Fantastic experience: Thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable are only a few of the attributes I would use to describe Andrew Beneze. He was beyond helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had the optimal home-buying experience. Andrew cared about us as clients and as people. He made sure we were satisfied and supported every step of the way. We will call absolutely call him for all of our real estate needs.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: I cannot begin to say enough positive things about the home-buying experience with Andrew Beneze. In addition to being extremely attentive and responsive, Andrew is a true expert in his field and extremely knowledgeable about both the market and the area. He helped us navigate several unforeseen hurdles and continued to support us even after the closing. We felt like he genuinely cared about us and our journey.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Toba Smith was very helpful with the sale of our home. She kept my husband and I very informed as the process proceeded, gave guidance and support throughout. We have bought and sold other properties with Toba and have always admired her professionalism and assistance.
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: Andrew worked his tail off for me even on Sundays. Couldn't ask for anybody more helpful and professional attitude. He also was able to find out more information on a particular property that I was looking at in a matter of one day more info than my previous two Realtors could find out in months
Thanks for the nice feedback about working with Andrew Beneze.
Fantastic experience: Claire Jacobson is a very knowledgeable and helpful realtor. Ensured all paperwork and communications with seller went smoothly. Best home buying experience I've ever had. Highly recommended!
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Jacqui! She knows her stuff and was able to help us in so many areas of the home buying process. She is very knowledgeable and a great resource. We would definitely use her again!
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Negative experience: RE. my house for sale; My realtor didn't even post signs, saying the traffic was so light out here! He was discouraging, saying that people don't care to live in my area, which is not true. The contract he sent me to sign had the wrong address, which I had to correct! The washer and dryer would not come with the house I told him, yet he forgot and the buyer got more money out of me. I tried to drop him but couldn't. He certainly wasn't worth his commission!
Ms. Sims, we’re very sorry to learn you are unhappy with the recent sale of your property. We want every customer to feel they’ve received excellent service and each transaction to be a positive experience for everyone involved. We welcome your feedback about how we can improve our services, so please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at 352-317-1635. I will be glad to speak with you.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I found a home on Zillow and contacted the local relator Cindy Birk and scheduled a showing. Cindy was busy that weekend. She had Tony show us the house. The house was nice but we kept looking. Cindy then showed us a second house in Newberry, we liked it as well but it was a little small. We scheduled a third showing and really liked it. We then made an offer that was excepted. Cindy and Tony are wonderful to work with. They assisted all the way through the process. I would recommend Parrish Realtors to everyone. Thanks to all of you. Bob and Cindy Bucco
Thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: Andrew B was the BEST! I dealt with 4 realtors in the area and he was the most knowledgeable, courteous, experienced and helpful. He called me on the phone to build that relationship and went out of his way to help us get our perfect new home while we lived 3 hours away. I feel like we will be friends for life going forward.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: We looked at google reviews before choosing a realtor in Gainesville and looked closely at this realty group because of their high ratings. We dug into the realtor bios and found Jen Fancher. She was the absolute BEST to work with on our recent home purchase in Gainesville! Pros: -she knows this area extremely well -she met us at our first house showing with all of permit details and organized it in a folder for us- she did the research on these homes before we even met her -she followed up with the title company, various vendors, and lender before and after each step. we were able to close early because she followed up so well with everyone -she had excellent recommendations for inspectors- we really felt like we were able to choose the best inspectors in the area -she has great recommendations for things to see and do in Gainesville, especially for kids -personality-wise, she was up front with us and didn't sugar-coat anything. we knew she was honest with us every step of the way. she's not afraid to ask questions and to advocate for her clients Cons: nothing- no really, there were no cons Thank you again, Jen!
Thanks for the great 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Daurine Wehbe at Coldwell MM Parrish as our buyer's agent for our Gainesville house purchase. She was always available, patient, friendly and never rushing us into making a purchase - which were all very important as we were buying from across the country with only a couple of trips to Gainesville, and rest being remote walkthroughs by Daurine. Definitely recommend!
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Lauretta Fogg is a very experienced, knowledgeable, conscientious and kind person. She does her homework and knows the market, so her advice is excellent. She was our realtor when we purchased our home 20 years ago and there was no question that she was the only one to call when it time came to sell. She is incredibly responsive and a joy to work. We are grateful to her for making the sale process a smooth one and very pleased with the result.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Coordination and support offered by Neha Sharma which helped us further House closing go very smooth. I liked the involvement to the every minute detail and right directions provided during the purchase process. Overall we are very happy with the service and thank you very much for the kind cooperation and support.
Thanks for your nice review and kind feedback.
Fantastic experience: Working with Annette Armstrong has been a wonderful experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and an expert in her field. I have trusted her as a seller’s agent and buyer’s agent. I highly recommend her and Coldwell Banker.
Thanks for the 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: It was great, maybe even necessary, to have Patti on my team when I sold my house. I was far away and needed a local partner to make it all happen. Not only did she take good care of the regular contractual work, advertising, pictures, etc, but she also went above and beyond in helping with contractors to really make my house shine and mitigate the inevitable issues coming up. Patti is not just another salesperson, but the well-rounded and knowledgeable real estate professional you want on your side. I would sell (or buy) with Patti again.
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Selling my home had issues at closing through no fault of my realtor. Michelle Tell, my realtor, was the absolute best and was constantly following up to make sure issues were resolved. I have many friends that are realtors but chose to go with someone I did not know. I couldn’t have picked a better person to have my back. She was the best!
Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Cindy Birk really knows her business. From valuing to staging to photography and promoting, her work was top notch. Cindy brought us two full price offers within a week of listing. She made the inspection and closing process clean and easy. She organized the process start to finish and it on track. We highly recommend Cindy.
Fantastic experience: Cindy Birk is an extraordinary professional. She helped us through every stage of the process to sell our home, she moved quickly, communicated thoroughly, advocated on our behalf, and ensured that we felt confident in the sale.
Fantastic experience: My recent experience with Coldwell Banker M. M. Parrish Realtors was PHENOMENAL. We were so very fortunate to have Howard Gordon as our Realtor. He made the process very easy on us by providing a wonderful selection of potential homes, he assisted us every step of the way, from finding, selecting, preparing us with what to expect next , pre-approval, paperwork, walk throughs, more paperwork and our closing. He is a people person who offers the full service experience, we highly recommend to have him as your realtor.
Thanks so much for the great review and feedback about your experience working with Howard.
Fantastic experience: Rana Schafer at Coldwell Banker helped us through every step of our house buying process. She was a joy to work with and willing to help with anything we needed. We knew her through renting first and loved working that we decided to go with her as a realtor to buy our first home. Whether you are renting or buying Coldwell Banker and Rana Schafer are wonderful!
Thanks for the 5-star rating and review of your experience working with Rana. She will be thrilled to hear your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Lauretta Fogg of MM Parrish was very patient with us as we changed our goals during our selling process. She stayed available, flexible and listened to us. She made sure we were informed throughout the process and that we knew what to expect next. Her experience in the market was an important part of our decision making.
Thank you for the 5-star review of your experience working with Lauretta Fogg!
Negative experience: Unfortunately. This review given is appropriate for the services rendered. I used a individual from this realtors agency, and it turned out to be one of the most stressful times in my life. You could have got better service from a Walmart associate than from the realtor I chose from this agency. Marion was untimely, she could not get legal documents back without forcing her to send them some of which I still haven't received. Very unprofessional. She wouldn't respond to phone calls, instead she would respond with text hours later, with none of the information you requested. I would absolutely recommend staying away from using Marion for any buying/selling transactions.
Mr. Bova,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely regret that your homebuying experience was stressful. We want everyone who works with us to feel good about the service we provide, and we are disappointed when our efforts fall short. If you would like to further discuss any aspect of your experience working with us, please know J. Parrish (owner) and/ or Michael Kitchens (president) are available to talk. You may reach both of them by calling 352-335-4999. Either way, we wish you the best as you get settled in your new home, and we hope it brings you much joy in the years ahead.
Fantastic experience: Shawn Spence-Thomas did an outstanding job of presenting our property to potential buyers and other Realtors who might have an interested customer. Shawn also insured that the closing went smoothly and at the earliest possible time. Great job!
Thank you, Mr. Tarbox, for the five star review!
Fantastic experience: Meghan was delightful to work with. She didn’t waste our time looking at properties that were unacceptable or wouldn’t meet our needs. She gave honest assessments of the properties and their values as well as what we could do to improve or make repairs. She put us in contact with all the right people to get to closing in a very short time (during the holidays) and was with us every step of the way. She made it easy. And fun.
Thanks for the great review about working with Meghan McGriff!
Fantastic experience: Tony did a fantastic job! He helped us find any answers to things we had questions about, met us several times at the property, and also had some difficult conversations that allowed us to get the best result possible. We will definitely be using him again!!!
Thanks for the 5-star review of your experience working with Tony Mele.
Fantastic experience: I have had the opportunity to deal with Coldwell Banker and Cindy Birk for multiple transactions. Cindy is always professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. She knows the market better than anyone I know. If you need a realtor do yourself a favor and give Cindy a call!
Fantastic experience: Michele Tell was an excellent realtor to deal with. She kept us informed daily of houses available in our price range and areas we were interested in. She did not waste time showing us houses just to show houses. We appreciate her time and effort in weeding out perfect selections for us. After deciding on a house, she took us through the process painlessly with no surprises. I highly recommend Michelle and commend Caldwell Banker for having such qualified professionals on staff!
Hi Herman,
Thanks for the awesome review! We appreciate you sharing your experience working with Michelle Tell. Buying a home during a seller's market can add a whole new level of stress to the process and we are so happy to hear Michelle made it such a positive experience for you. Thank you also for your kind words about our company. That really means a lot to us. We will be sure to pass along your comments to Michelle - we know she will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated working with her!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing to work with these people. But the biggest pleasure is to work with Cindy Birks. She is outstanding. I never did work with somebody so friendly, so competent, and so determined to make things happen. She was always there for us, and she tookj care everything. Thank you so much Cindy!
Fantastic experience: Want a realtor that treats you like Family? Then you want to contact the best realtors Lynne Saunders, her husband Bill and daughter Bethany are the best people. Lynne helped my family 6 years ago find and purchase our first home. It should without saying, but I will say it. When we were looking to sell Lynne was the only option! She is amazing! Throughout the years, she became our friend and now she is family! She is with you every step of the way and is always available! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new one house came on the market. She is honest and forthright- no games. We just sold our first home. It was such a pleasure working with Lynne. Still working on purchasing the forever home and Lynne is in contact with us and will help in any and every way that she can! She is a miraculous woman! She truly is the best and one of a kind. If you want to purchase or sell your home, please reach out to her!
Thank you for the awesome review. Team Saunders will really appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Sandra was fantastic in all of our dealings with her. She quickly responded to our questions/calls/texts/emails and provided information before we even knew we needed it. She proposed the property that we did close upon - and the entire process went very smoothly even though we live 4 hours away. We are very pleased with the entire experience and definitely recommend these realtors.
Positive experience: My realtor was Alex and she communicated very well as she did have quick response even when she went out on vacation. She stated on top of the sellers and sellers agent for responses. The down side of my experience was that I did not feel like she was truely my agent. She tended to always want to be a mediator even though I would tell her what "I want" as I am purchasing the property. I missed out on the true property that I wanted due to this. I asked her to submit my purchase price at a higher amount because of how much I loved that property. She did not accept my choice and I miss out on the property because someone out bid us. There were many more complications with the purchasing of my property and I will say it was not an enjoyable process. She always tired to side with the seller and the sellers wishes. I am just happy it is over and I have a decent property.
Hi, Ms. Simmons. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience of working with us. Unprecedented buyer demand and housing inventory shortages have certainly made the process more difficult and challenging for everyone, and especially for first-time homebuyers competing with cash buyers. While we’re glad you were able to find a suitable property, we regret the process was not enjoyable. We try hard to make it as smooth as possible for everyone, and we are disappointed when our efforts fall short. Please do not hesitate to call our office to speak with the president or owner of our company if you’d like to discuss anything further. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous future in your new home.
Fantastic experience: Our Realtor was Cindy Birk and we couldn't have been more impressed with her knowledgeability and professionalism. Cindy really went above and beyond to find just the right home for us. She was patient and gave us peace of mind during this crazy real estate market time. She's truly the best hands down! Would also like to give kudos to Michelle Tell for assisting us as well. She was very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for a better team!
Fantastic experience: Had the privilege to have Mariela Varela in the process to sell our house. Words cannot describe her professionalism, empathy and knowledge at the time to sell our house. She was always available and guide us throughout the whole process. Thanks to her our house was in the market for less than a month. I will highly recommend her to any costumer looking for the experience to have the best Realtor. More than a Realtor she is a going friend.
Hi Rey,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience working with Mariella Varela to sell your home. When you have a knowledgeable and professional Realtor in your corner to guide you through the process it definitely helps to lessen the stress of the experience and makes for a much smoother transaction. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Mariella!
Fantastic experience: Lynne Saunders and her team were such a pleasure to work with. She is professional, communicative and friendly. She went above and beyond with the home search sending videos/photos if I couldn’t make it to a showing, always keeping me up to date on the status of offers/closing and looking for ways to expedite the process when we ran into roadblocks. She was knowledgeable on the market and provided great guidance to be able to buy our house in a seller’s market. I would definitely work with Lynne again and 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: It was such a delight to work with Joanne Lawlor. I was going to interview three realtors but, after meeting her, and listening to her very professional presentation, my mind was made up. She knows her "stuff" inside and out and is certainly an expert in lakeside properties. She kept a lot of balls in the air and was extremely patient with me and kept me apprised of all the moving parts. Joanne adeptly shepherded the negotiating part with grace and smarts. She is a lovely person. I will certainly work with her and your brokerage if I decide to buy property in the Gainesville area in the future. I also want to give a shout-out to Anita Smith. I know her socially and of course I wanted her best recommendation, which she gave me. Anita is a great example of the high level of professionalism that seems to be the hallmark of M.M. Parrish Coldwell Banker. She surely is an amazing team member. Thank you all for a superior experience in selling my house.
Hi Sally,
Thanks for the review! We're so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience working with Joanne Lawlor to sell your lakeside property. It certainly makes a positive difference working with a professional Realtor with specialized knowledge who can guide you expertly through all the steps in a real estate transaction. We really appreciate all your kind words and will be sure to pass them along to both Joanne Lawlor and Anita Smith. Please reach out if we can ever be of further assistance!
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience listing our house with Sandra Moorhouse at Coldwell Banker. Sandra was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. She made selling our house so easy. She guided us through every step of the process and went above and beyond helping us out with resources and stepping in to handle things when we couldn't be there ourselves. We would highly recommend her without reservation to anyone selling a house in the Gainesville area.
Fantastic experience: Brent Riley has worked with me on more than one transaction. One word sums up his professionalism: Exemplar. A life-long resident of Gainesville, his knowledge of the city, in addition to real estate, is broad and deep. Best of all, he’s personable. I am grateful for the guidance Brent has provided through the years and will continue to work with him for time to come.
Thanks for the nice review! We enjoyed hearing about your experience working with Brent Riley. Having a knowledgeable Realtor that you can count on to guide you through real estate transactions is a true gift indeed. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Brent!
Fantastic experience: My realtor, Jacqui Knowles, has been excellent! She has great ability to act proactively and has expertly guided me through every step of the transaction. I could not be happier with her assitance!
Hi Scott,

We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience and will be sure to share your kind words with Jacqui!
Fantastic experience: Jacqui Knowles was amazing from the first time I met her as she listened to what type of house I wanted and my financial limits when I purchased my home. Then she continued to answer any questions for the four years I owned it. Finally she sold it with the up most integrity.
Hi Donna,
Thanks for the review! We love hearing about what an awesome job Jacqui Knowles did for you in helping you buy and sell your home. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we will be sure to pass along your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Worked with Jacqui Knowles (selling and buying), who has to be the greatest realtor in town. Jacqui is responsive, available, keeps you informed, and is an excellent partner when it comes to selling or buying a home.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Cindy Birk to purchase our first home. While house hunting itself was extremely stressful, Cindy made the process much smoother by providing her experience and expertise. She always made herself available for anything we needed, be it answering a quick question via email or dropping everything to go look at a house right away. She supported us in every way possible and gave us the honest guidance we needed, especially being first time buyers. We never felt pressured; she listened to us and valued our opinion. We are so grateful to have had Cindy as our realtor throughout the process of finding and getting our dream home.
Fantastic experience: I did not deal personally with Coldwell Banker but through my RE agent Mrs., Annette Armstrong. This was the second RE property deal she completed for me, both to satisfaction. I observed Mrs. Armstrong is professional, knowledgeable, sharp and friendly. She kept me informed of all the details during the process by e mail, text and/or telephone calls. I will definitely hire her to work for me on my next Real State purchase or sale
Hi Max,
Thanks for the review! We're happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience working with Annette Armstrong on your two real estate transactions. It's always a great thing when you have a professional and knowledgeable Realtor you can count on to help you through the real estate process. We appreciate the kind words and will be sure to pass them along to Annette!
Fantastic experience: Jamie Vascotto is the best realtor ever! I wouldn't trust my home with anyone else. She got us many offers above asking price and guided us through the process. It was very reassuring to have her on our side. We highly recommend Jamie and Coldwell Banker M. M. Parrish Realtors!
Hi Connie,
Thanks for the nice review! We love hearing about what a wonderful experience you had working with Jamie Vascotto to sell your home. Having a true real estate professional by your side to walk you through the home selling process definitely makes things easier. We will be sure to share your kind words with Jamie!
Fantastic experience: Team Saunders is the absolute best! My home was on the market for a fleeting few days and we had a contract above asking in no time. Lynne and her team provided consistent, high-level attention to detail; they worked efficiently, utilizing technology and superior organizational skills. Kindness, patience, knowledge and experience; they have it all and more. Need I say more?!
Hi Lila,
Thanks for sharing your home selling experience working with Lynne Saunders and her team. Even though it's a seller's market, selling your home can still be incredibly stressful. Working with real estate professionals who provide consistent, high-level attention to detail certainly makes the process a lot easier! We will be sure to pass along your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Jeff Quigley is our wonderful realtor. He helped us find a beautiful home when demand was greater than supply. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable not only of the Gainesville housing market, but of the city itself. He loves where he lives and it shows!
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for your nice note about Jeff Quigley! Buying a home is stressful even in the best of times - and even moreso now in Gainesville's hot seller's market! So happy to hear that Jeff provided you with such a positive home buying experience. We will be sure to pass along your kind words!
Fantastic experience: There's just no words to describe how wonderful my experience with my realtor was. They went above and beyond to work with the selling agent and put together a deal that went better than I could ever have imagined. Thanks to Michelle Tell, we were able to obtain a house in this ridiculous and frantic market.
Hi Samuel,
Thanks for the great review! We love hearing how wonderful your home buying experience was working with Michelle Tell. In this frenzied Gainesville real estate market it's a gift to have an experienced professional to guide you through. Thank you for sharing with us! We will be sure to pass along your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Jamie Viscotto rocks the house ! Ms. Viscotto puts forth %110 to her clients. She personifies EVERYTHING a great Realtor should be. She is professional, knowledgeable, kind-hearted and provided us with the absolute best service imaginable. Her valuable insight into an ever-changing market directly resulted in helping us get a Condo for our college student. Without Miss Viscotto's understanding of the Gainesville market, we would still be looking. We feel as though we have acquired a "friend" for life, in Jaime Viscotto. THANK YOU JAIME !!!
Hi James,
Thank you for the awesome review! We're so happy to hear Jamie Vascotto was able to power through Gainesville's challenging real estate market and help you get a condo for your college student. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience working with Jamie and will be sure to pass along your kind words!
Fantastic experience: As a first time home buyer, Claire could not have made the home buying process any easier. She was patient, knowledgeable, attentive and very well connected within the community which made finding a lender, engineer and inspector all the more easy. I cannot say enough good things about Claire!
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the great review for Claire Jacobson! Being a first time home buyer can be very stressful. We're happy but not surprised to hear that Claire smoothed the process for you and made it a good experience. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. We will be sure to pass along your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Mark Stern was the perfect realtor you could ask for. Not only was he always in communication with us every step of the way in purchasing our first rental home, he was also very knowledgeable about all the moving pieces and who to contact. His recommendations for inspectors, survey companies, lenders, insurance agents and closing attorneys were all top notch! He knows the market, has the contacts, is an Alachua County native, and has the skills to get you into your first home or your first investment property. I would highly recommend him as a realtor, and will for sure do business with him in the future. Thank you for all your help Mark, we appreciate all your hard work and constant communication in getting our deal done.
Hi Nicolle,
Thanks for the nice review! We are so happy to hear about your experience working with Mark Stern. Thank you for sharing it with us! We will be sure to pass along your kind words.
Fantastic experience: We have had the pleasure to work with Sandra Moorhouse for several transactions. She has always provided us with great service by keeping us informed and always following up with additional information. The last sale, she marketed the house to achieve the best sale price. Thanks for all the help and we would highly recommend her as well as Coldwell Banker.
Positive experience: We were basically happy with Jill's initial enthusiasm and effort. She did put in a lot of time. However, in the end, she was a bit short with us and argued against me offering a lower price. I believe that I ended up paying too much for the property as a result.
We're sorry you feel like you may have paid too much. However, we do not have anyone named Jill associated with our company, and a search of our recent transaction records does not show any customers matching your name. Is it possible your real estate agent works for a different company?
Fantastic experience: Donovaun Horne was absolutely delightful to work with. I had a home in northwest Gainesville I have owned for 29 years. Some personal and professional changes in my life made me decide that all good things must come to and end. I met with Donovaun this summer and we had a great conversation. I needed some time to make improvements in the home before it went to market. However I am definitely not good with design. Donovaun was very patient and willing to take 3 months getting the house prepared for market. He helped me find painters. Pick out colors. Find carpet people. Pick out colors. We talked awhile about granite countertops and backsplash. After some deliberation we decided to go for it. The end product was amazing. He even went to Lowe’s with me and helped pick out ceiling fans and found a handyman to take care of much needed repairs. After the home went on the market he was amazing helping navigate the sale. There were a few unexpected twists from some unreasonable buyers, however it all ended well with a bid and contract over listing price I cannot begin to say enough about Donovaun. His professional work is the best I have ever encountered. Time and time again he went the extra mile for me. Much of the work was done while I was out of state and he acted as my eyes. If I ever come back to Florida I would make my first call to him. He’s amazing!!!
Thanks for the great review.
