about our Agents!
Althea Innis
"Ms. Althea is not only my realtor, but a good friend that talks and listens to any problem. She made me feel like she truly cared." -Cynthia
Barbara Alonso
“Barbara was terrific, she was always available I would recommend her to anyone buying in the area. Jeff went out of his way to be helpful and close on time.” –Tore and Susan
Beth Barnett
“I really enjoyed working with Beth. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her customer service skills are exceptional. She is intelligent, friendly and professional. She was always available to help answer any questions I had. She either answered her phone when I called or returned my call promptly. I purchased my home from her and then sold it through her. Both experiences working with her were great!” -Mary
“This is the 1st home I've bought and not built. Having your Co. & more so "BETH" in my corner, she was "GREAT"!!!! As far as personal, if they are 1/2 as good as Beth you are in great shape. Already did refer BETH" to several of my family & friends. I regret not meeting Beth & your Co. last year when I spent "3" months looking & taking my families advice on homes in the Coco, Melbourne, Palm Bay Area” -Mario
“Beth was fantastic. She goes way above and beyond. I thought this experience was going to be painful and she made it the happiest time of my life.
I would recommend Beth to everyone. My mom will be moving to Florida in the next few years and I will have her contact Beth.” -Jacqueline
“Beth was very helpful and was always available to answer all of our questions and look out for our best interest during the buying process. We are very pleased with her and would use her again in the future!” -Laura and Amalia
Carolyn Mullican
“Carolyn looked out for us and was nothing but professional. She knew the business and was very efficient. We had full confidence in her opinions and directions.” – Robert and Jan
“Our Journey to buy a home was a long one - 1 1/2 years and 11 contracts in the making with many disappointments along the way. Through all that I can honestly say that Carolyn is a wonderful real estate agent and one of the nicest people that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Many realtors would have abandoned us after several contracts had fallen apart, but she never gave up and always encouraged us with a "Can Do" attitude even when the Mortgage Market fell to pieces and our prospects of buying a home had become thin. It was her creative thinking and ideas that helped to changed our approach and finally allowed us to purchase our little piece of paradise in Merritt Island. If this all sounds a little too perfect as feedback you will have to forgive me, as I am biased. Carolyn exhibits sales skills which I find to be very comfortable - and after all this time I consider her not only my realtor but also my friend. Being from New York I do not like "Pushy" sales people... in fact being pushy is the best way to get me out of the door quickly. I like honest, friendly, straight forward speaking people who genuinely care about what they are doing. That is Carolyn in a nut shell. My mother will be retiring to Florida in the next couple of years, and it is a safe bet that I will be connecting her with Carolyn to find her a new home. Thanks so much for all the patience and hard work.” –Brett
Charlie Kendall
“Charlie was extremely helpful with every aspect of this transaction. He was very professional and polite at all times. Charlie accommodated me with each and every detail during this process...a very patient guy!! Completing this transaction without Charlie's knowledgeable assistance would have been impossible as most of our conversations were by phone or email and with very little direct personal contact. You should be proud of the work done by Charlie as I know that I would recommend him very highly to anyone I knew who was looking to relocate to Florida. Please make this information available to him as he excelled in his commitment in helping me to acquire this property.” -David
Debbie Sanders
"Ours was a complicated transaction because Tracy is in Afghanistan and Sharon is in Panama (the country). So everything had to be done by phone, scan, email, and there were powers of attorney, etc. Debbie did her best to keep everyone informed and coordinated." -Tracy and Sharon
“Debbie handled the purchase of our present house, as well as the sale of our old one. She's a credit to your firm and your profession!” - Mike and Erika
Heather Lingley
"The entire experience was perfect. We cannot say enough good things about Heather. My wife and I have always heard horror stories about purchasing a home, the aggravation and difficulties of the process, and negative things about real estate agents. Our experience couldn't be more opposite. Everything, from the first meeting with the agent all the way to closing was absolutely perfect. We couldn't be happier with the service we received as well as the home we purchased. It was an absolutely wonderful experience." –Robert
“I was very happy with Heather. My other realtor quit, and Heather just stepped up and continued with my sale flawlessly. Definitely I will call upon her to help me with a rental home for my daughter in April.” –Maria
“I could not have found anyone else who would have helped me through this 3 month ordeal of purchasing a Short Sale - Dream Home. :)
Heather was not only a WONDERFUL & professional Real Estate Agent, but she was a genuine, caring individual. This was my dream home in 2006, but I could not afford it then. Much to my surprise, it came up on a Short Sale and yes, Heather made it all possible for me. She worked so hard and all hours of the day and night to make sure everyone had all the information to make it to closing. She is a remarkable young lady with a spirit to match her hard work. Words could never repay her for helping me to reach this goal of owning my very own little home that the "Wolf" could not blow down. I lost one mobile home to Hurricane, Frances and another to the Fay flood........This one will be with me for a long, long time and my little house will shine one day after I give her lots of TLC. I know she was waiting for me all this time! And Heather made it all come true! -Mae
“Heather exceeded our expectations in all areas. Suffice to say, our experience with Mitch Realty and Heather Lingley was a blessing in every aspect of the word. Not only did we find a house that suited our every need, we found a house that we can finally call home.............thanks to Heather. Our circumstances were extremely unique to say the very least and the stress was taking its toll upon us.........but Heather guided us through the process in a truly professional manner. Her patience and concern will never be forgotten. For this alone, we thank you with all our heart.” –George
“Very knowledgeable of the areas. Heather was responsive rather than pushy. Very good and supportive.” –Chuck
Jo Ann Haven
"Jo Ann was amazing. I would refer Jo Ann to a friend and anyone else for that matter. Jo Ann was so helpful and made this process very easy for both my and my husband. Not only did she answer all of our questions but she was there whenever we needed her. We called her early mornings and sometimes late in the evening and she always answered our calls and made us feel very comfortable. She treated us like family. I will call her again for any of our home purchasing/selling needs in the future." –Stephanie
“Jo Ann did a phenomenal job keep up the great work. Thanks for everything she did to make our first home purchase easy and fun!” -Christian and Stephanie
“Jo Ann is a great person to work with. She finds out what you are looking for and doesn't waste your time, showing you property that is of no interest to the buyer. I have worked with realtors over the years and find Jo Ann to be the best one I have had the pleasure of doing business with” - Beverly and Lisa
“JoAnn is the best. She was always there and always willing to go that extra mile to make the RE processes a pleasant experience. I have bought and sold over 50 properties and JoAnn is at the top of the heap. Mitch, you should thank your lucky stars for having a person such as JoAnn on your staff.” - P. DeAngelo
“In the last 32 years we purchased 6 homes, and Jo Ann was indeed the BEST Real Estate agent we had. A Job Well Done! Jo Ann knows a tremendous about short sales. Her timely response to my first email signing up with your agency for free MLS service for my criteria in home buying is what linked us together. Through the whole process of looking at property, Jo Ann had a very positive attitude toward every property we viewed. Her expert advice in answering our questions is what helped us most in securing the purchase of our home.” –Joseph
Julie Cambe
“Realistically, I have been dealing with people for 1/2 a decade, and Julie was simply amazing in her efforts. Buisness is buisness, however, there is no reason to forfeit the human qualities that make us comfortable. If I did not believe in Julie and her assessments, I would not have purchased the property.” - Volodimir
“Julie did a great job, she was there when she said, was available always, and the paper work went very well, especially considering we were from out of town.” – Chris
“Julie was extremely patient. It took me two years to find just the right home and she was always helpful and accommodating.” – Bridgette
“Julie provided every service in a professional and timely manner. She was also very understanding of the situation and gave the account attention needed.
If we needed a realtor in the future, we would seek Julie's assistance. A customer can trust in the services that she provides. She has my vote.” – Shermann
“I'm out of state and Julie made the entire process extremely easy.” –Marian
Julie Sestito
“Julie was exceptionally pleasant and helpful during the buying and closing process.” - Carol & Brian
“There is nothing that Julie could improve on. We have purchased 15 homes during our marriage and have never dealt with anyone as professional, helpful, patient and caring as Julie. There are not enough adjectives to describe her. Julie is a keeper. We feel as though we built a relationship with Julie that goes beyond work. Count yourself lucky to have her working for Tropical.” - Phil and June
“I believe Tropical did an excellent Job, and enjoyed the fact that I had very little responsibilities to do when it came time to close. I as others were impressed as to the number of potential buyers which came through the house and the frank and realistic selling strategies we as a team came up with and how fast it sold in a down market, Great Job!” –Mark
“Exceptional Broker. She consistently pursued our focus on obtaining near beachfront property and succeeded in getting us the right fit. Julie is a credit to the excellence of your program, Mitch and you should be congratulated for hiring this exceptional Broker. Thank you for the exceptional customer service that we received at every point along the way. Mrs. Sestito deserves an A+." -Jack

"Thank you so much for helping us through such a long process. Everything worked out perfectly!" - Joel and Laura
Lucy Bunch
“Lucy is an asset to your company. She is personable, honest and very knowledgeable in her field. It was a pleasure working with Lucy and we are very happy with our new home. Thank you.” –Neil and Beth
Mary Chadman
“I can't say enough good things about the services provided to me, and my sister's family, by our realtor Mary Chadman. She has been a strong support throughout the long process of selling our house. Mary Chadman kept us informed as the housing market sank so that we could make some realistic decisions. Since all of us live in other cities and states, Mary's help was critical as on-going maintenance had to be monitored and small contractors had to be hired to complete necessary repairs. Tropical Realty is really lucky to have Mary.” - Marcia
Melissa Goldman
“Melissa was very helpful and pleasant, we will be listing our townhouse with Melissa.” – Waltz
“I've had the occasion to work with a few agents over the years. Melissa is the most professional and trustworthy I've ever worked with. She's also a great person.” - Joseph and Marie
“Melissa went out of her way to make our dream come true. Just when we thought all was lost, she pulled through for us.” –Frank
“Melissa was wonderful and a pleasure to work with.” -Sherri
Mitch Ribak
“Excellent customer service, not only Mitch but the complete agency.” –Louis
"You were determined to find us our retirement home. After many homes, we finally found our perfect home. You were always honest and lovable! We don't just adopt anyone! Thank You!" - Joe and Dian (Mom and Dad)
"Mitch, you had an excellent knowledge of the area and knew exactly what I was looking for. You were always in a good mood and were willing to help me whenever I needed anything. Thank you for all your help!" - Ann B.
"Mitch, you helped us through every step and went beyond your duties to make sure the experience was painless. Thanks for Everything!" - Brian and Meg
"Mitch, we could not have found anyone that we feel could have done a better job. You were always there to talk to us. You were successful in finding us a home and we could not be happier. We would love you to come by (you know the way)! You made a wonderful difference in our lives. Thank you so much!" - Lisa and Dave
Ned Meloni
"Ned is the best Realtor I have dealt with, his knowledge and professionalism is the tops and I have purchased and sold over 15 homes, I plan to use him in the future for some more investment." -Bruce
“Ned went so far above and beyond the call of duty! He was flexible with my schedules and dealt with our water disaster in a prompt, competent way. I recently purchased a home in Philadelphia and the service I got from Ned for my small unit in Florida was so much more professional and attentive that I wished he could be the agent for all my transactions!” – Linda
“Great Job & Quite persistent to find what we wanted.” -Louis
“Ned was great. I contacted him for the first time on a Wednesday, he sent me probably 75 listings to choose from per my specifications, showed me about 4 houses that next Monday, I fell in love with the last one, made an offer the next day, needed to close quick, by April 30th. Ned made it happen! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a realtor. Great guy and very knowledgeable about the whole process. Thank you. He as referred to me by someone else and I would definitely refer a friend to him.” -Linda
Patrice Cano
“She was outstanding and very attentive to our needs. Patrice went far beyond my expectations. Extremely professional and patient. Especially with the home I purchased which was a short sale.” -Tania
“Patrice did a great job for Greta & I. She spent a lot of her time showing us houses.” - Jim & Greta
“Patrice is great, we would recommend her without hesitation to our friends and family.” –Don
“Patrice was absolutely fabulous throughout. From showing us appropriate properties to arranging for the closing and keeping us up to date each step of the way.” –Jane
“Patrice was very patient while we were looking for and finally purchasing our dream home over the last year. She is knowledgeable, friendly and made the house hunting process easy! Wouldn't have been able to complete everything long distance, from the offer to the closing without her....and who wouldn't? She's wonderful and definitely in the right business!” -Nancy and Barry
Roger Daveluy
“I must say out of the home buying process, Roger was able to make his end as painless as possible. He was extremely helpful in finding a home that met and exceeded all of my needs.” - David
“Roger made himself available anytime and on short notice. In my opinion he went above and beyond what I would have expected. After closing he followed us to the condo and even helped unload all our boxes. He is an asset to your company. He definitely made us feel like he was looking out for us and he had our best interest at hand.” -Vicky
“Roger did a very good job, we wouldn't have been able to without him. I have referred him to some friends of ours, whom may be coming to Florida also. Roger went well above and beyond for us.” –Larry and Sandra
“No one worked harder on my home. I would not hesitate to recommend Roger to any of my friends or associates.” -Joan
Rose Leone
"We attempted working with several agents before working with Rose. Many did not want to put any time or effort into a purchase of this small size. We were very serious about buying a home, yet nobody took us seriously. From our first phone call, Rose was ultra-professional and immediately had a list of homes that fit our criteria. She helped us narrow them down by truly understanding our needs and as a result we purchased the perfect home! Anytime I needed anything Rose was never more than a quick phone call or email away. She anticipated everything we would need to close, made good recommendations, and really went out of her way to make sure the process went smoothly. Rosemary truly personifies the guarantee that is on your website and for this you should be very proud of her!" -Aaron
Sammi Shapiro
“Just over two years ago I began looking to purchase a condominium in Brevard County. I found Tropical Realty on the Internet and made a phone call to the Melbourne office. As fate would have it I ending up speaking with Sammi. She enrolled me in the 'listing cart' for the properties that matched the criteria I was looking for in a beach home. Through the months and years as I kept my pulse on the market and continuously emailed and called on Sammi to answer any and all of the questions I had. No matter how big or how small the question Sammi was always available to research the information I was seeking. And as I stated, this business relationship went on for over two years. Throughout this process Sammi's input was invaluable.
Last fall I finally had the opportunity to fly down and meet Sammi in person. We looked at over a dozen properties in Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach, the two area's I decided I wanted to buy in. Even working with a limited budget, Sammi was able to show me around and I had an offer in on a property and all seemed to be going well. Then at the last minute I was informed by the mortgage broker the bank would not lend to me despite being pre-approved before hand and my willingness to put down 30%.
I left Florida a little disappointed but had several things reaffirmed to me. One, I knew the exact area I was going to buy in (thanks to Sammi) and two, I knew that with Sammi Shapiro as my real estate agent, I was in good hands.
So fast forward from mid-October to Thanksgiving day. I opened my email and saw a new listing on Cape Canaveral in an area Sammi familiarized me to. I called her on Thanksgiving day to wish her a Happy Thanksgiving and asked if she could get out to the property as soon as possible. The next day, on a Holiday weekend, Sammi drove out to Cape Canaveral and called me as she walked thru the condo, essentially being my eyes and ears as I was over a thousand miles away.
Because of the relationship I developed with my realtor, I was confident in her assesment and without even looking at the property myself and going soley on Sammi's input, I put in an offer that was excepted by the seller within the next 48 hours.
On the day of the closing, December 16, 2009, I flew down from my home in Connecticut and met Sammi at my new condo on the beach...and was I surprised! Not only was the condo just as she had explained, but in my eyes it was even better. Let me put it this way, out of all the condo's I had looked at with Sammi in October, this was by far the nicest, and $30,000 cheaper than the one I had originally had a deal in the works for.
I hope my story has shed a bright light on what an outstanding colleague you have in Miss Shapiro. Had it not been for her hard work, patience, honesty and determination, I truly believe I would have never seen my dream of owning a Florida beach house come true. Words just will never be able to describe how fond I am of Sammi. I always knew she was working for me and will be forever grateful to her for her efforts.
I have had many friends and colleagues express their interest in working with Sammi after talking about my experience working with her. That combined with the pictures of my beautiful beach getaway, I assure you, I will be sending more buyer's Sammi's way.” –Steve
“Sammi went out of her way to help in Any and All ways, day and night until the deal was done. You could not have a better person in your company. Thanks again for all your help.” -James
“Sammi was excellent in every aspect of her services to/for us. We really enjoyed working with Sammi she is very professional and a very nice, enjoyable person, we will miss her....” –Susan and Doug
“I have bought many homes in my days, Sami ranks very high for making this experience smooth and conclusive.” –Joe
“Sammi was a joy to work with. Professional, accomodating at every step and in the end, a new found friend. I couldn't recommend anyone higher.” –Kirk
“Sammi was very helpful, caring, and made things so less stressful in the purchase of our first home. I would definitively recommend her to my friends and family. She is one of the nicest relators I've ever met. Please commend her for a job well done. She stayed on top of the contract negotiations and dealing with the seller agent and sellers. Great job Sammi” –Rachanee
