Client Testimonials

Marchand has successfully represented my wife and I for a purchase and a sale of a home in the Avondale section of Jacksonville. She is an absolute expert in this market. She knows every nook and cranny about Avondale and has complete mastery of this wonderful real estate marketplace! Always professional, responsive and helpful above and beyond the call of duty! I happily give her the highest rating available and would work with her again in a second! Thank you Marchand!

Christy was such a joy to work with to find our first home. She was very knowledgeable and super helpful every step of the way. She has my highest recommendation!

Joi is amazing! She really listened to us and understood what we were looking for - we had been going to open houses for over a year and hadn't seen anything that fit, but we fell in love with and ultimately purchased the very first house Joi showed us. She definitely knows the local market inside out - we would probably not have ever even looked at our house based on the listing photos, but Joi had seen it in person and knew it was worth a look. Once we made the offer, she guided us through the negotiation process like an expert and was always available to answer any and all questions. Just as importantly, she is truly a joy to work with. She was there for us every step of the way and went above and beyond what we ever expected a real estate agent to do (taking us out for drinks to celebrate the offer being accepted, meeting with contractors and coming with us to the design meeting for the remodeling we wanted to do, the list goes on!). I cannot overstate how fantastic Joi is on both a professional and personal level. We are so glad we worked with her and recommend her enthusiastically! 

Christina was an awesome Realtor®. From the moment I met her to closing day she was so very helpful and knowledgeable. She took the time to find homes I would be interested in and she made herself available. I highly recommend Christina as your Realtor®. You will not be disappointed.

As a first time buyer I didn't know much about the process of purchasing a home. Brenda was there to consult with and provided valuable insight throughout the entire process. She's great!

I could not have asked for a better Realtor® than Joi. She treated me as if we were family. She knows the market, she is smart, prompt, aggressive when needed and got me everything I wanted. I was able to sell my house at a great price and buy a new house at an even better price! I am confident she is the best Realtor® in Jacksonville!

The Abercrombie’s are extraordinary. Their years of experience in Jax make them amazing realtors you can trust! They see so much success that results in all of these 5 star reviews because they always work in their clients best interests. They were there to provide well-intentioned concerns and advice during the search for our first home. We relied heavily on their expertise and guidance during the buying process and I believe it was in great part because of them that everything worked out so seamlessly. We are so SO grateful for Ann & Lin!

Taft helped me navigate a tricky situation when selling my house. He did a fantastic job and is a joy to work with. I hired him again to sell another house. Once again, he was spectacular. Went above and beyond to help me quickly sell the house.

- Pam

Leslie helped my wife and I purchase our 1st home and she was amazing from start to finish. Knowledgeable about neighborhoods and inventory and market trends, Leslie put us at ease, gave us great advice, and skillfully advocated for us every step of the way. I could not recommend her more highly.

- Seth Langner

Christy is great to work with! She's easy to get in touch with and always answers questions right away. She was helpful and cheerful throughout the home search, inspections, and negotiation process. Nothing but good things to say about her! Highly recommend working with her.

I was not an easy client. As a first time home buyer, I had just about every question and hesitation in the book. To say that Taft was patient is understatement. He listened to every hesitation, every “I really love this”, every “I don’t know” and every “don’t these people believe in natural light and found me my absolute dream home. When another offer went on the table, all my hope was gone, Taft was there. He went the extra mile, gave me great advice and told me to be optimistic. He was right. Because of him, I moved into the perfect first home (with all the natural light in the world). I would highly recommend Taft to any person looking for a new home.

Erin was a dream to work with on my recent home purchase. He is extremely knowledgeable and offers thoughtful advice from start to finish. He is always available and corresponds very quickly via phone, text, or email. He is patient and takes the time to get to know his clients in order to find the perfect fit. He actually can make the usually arduous process of home buying fun! Between his work and the work of those he referred me to for various closing tasks (inspector, mortgage lender, etc.), the process was incredibly easy and efficient. I was able to find and close on my new home in under 30 days. I plan to use Erin as my real estate agent as long as we are both in Jacksonville and have already referred him to several friends. His expertise, attention, and service exceeded my expectations, and I trust and recommend him highly. Thanks again, Erin!

I began talking with Marchand about 3 months before we were actually ready to buy a home. She was very helpful and gave me plenty of options to consider even with our extended timeline, and even though we had no commitment to her. When the time finally came for us to buy a home, she was extremely vigilant in ensuring that we were ale to see every home that we wanted to. We ended up putting an offer in on a home that was highly competitive, but she fought for us and our offer was accepted! She is still taking care to walk us through every step of this process.

Taft was such a wonderful agent to work with! My husband and I listed our condo with Taft and we were thrilled with the hard work and determination he showed us during the selling process. It sold relatively quickly and for more than we imagined it would! Since we had moved out of town before the condo sold, Taft kept us up to date on showings and offers by touching base every few days. He made our move less stressful because we knew our place was in good hands and felt confident that he would sell it for us in a reasonable amount of time. We just closed this week and I am happy to recommend Taft to all of my friends when they are in need of a Realtor®. He truly did a fantastic job!

There is no one I would trust more in any real estate transaction. Leslie was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and eager to help in any way necessary to facilitate success for her client. From personally staging my home tastefully to always being at the ready to answer my calls, she goes above and beyond and exceeds all expectations. If you are looking for a Realtor®, she is your gal! I promise you wont be disappointed.

My wife and I have known Joi since she worked with us in 2003 to find and purchase our home in Riverside/Avondale. We were relocating from NYC and didn't know much at all about Jacksonville, but Joi gave us great advice and we ended up on an amazing block in a perfect neighborhood in a dream house. We had such a fantastic experience with Joi that we remained friends throughout our many years living in Jacksonville (in that same home). When it came time to put our house on the market earlier this year, we turned to Joi and she could not have been more amazing. She was proactive and visionary! She knew the every aspect of the market and helped us sell our home fairly quickly (all the time skillfully and pleasantly coordinating scheduling with our tenant who had been renting our home for the previous year). My wife and I enthusiastically recommend Joi Perkins for selling your home or helping you find a home to purchase, because she did both a fantastic job doing both for us!

Alan has been with us on this journey to find a home from the beginning. We originally took him all over Jacksonville until we figured out "what area" we wanted. Alan never discouraged us while we were learned what was best for us. Whne we hit road blocks, he was diligent in helping us find ways around them. We found our home as well as a friend in Alan. I highly recommend him!

- Lindsey Rowland

Ann was friendly professional and prompt during the entire process of showing me multiple homes. I would highly recommend her to anybody looking to purchase a home anywhere in Jacksonville, especially historic Riverside/Avondale. She always had the most up to date information on all the houses. The entire experience with Ann was a joy. 

Matthew listed our home and had it sold in one day! His good natured and friendly personality made the process very pleasant and smooth for all involved. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Brenda provided me and my family with great service, support, and a pleasurable experience throughout our search and relocation to Florida. Brenda was very attentive to my needs and made me feel as though finding the right home for us was her top priority. I highly recommend Brenda to help you find your home in Florida. Brenda, I thank you again for your excellent service.

I found Erin after researching top producers in the Avondale/Riverside/Ortega. We also wanted someone who lived in the community, knew it well, and understood the in's and out's of homes in the area. Erin was knowledgeable, attentive, understanding, and on top of his game. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home...especially in this area. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Matthew was great! He helped us dodge a bad deal by doing his research, then strongly advocated on our behalf to get our deposit returned. Matthew then found an even more perfect home for our family, and was once again able to negotiate a fair price for us. Matthew has excellent negotiation skills and great energy, along with a cool and calm demeanor. I highly recommend him for any real estate transaction.

Leslie is the best! Super easy to deal with, prompt with responses, and knowledgeable of all facets of home buying/selling process. She helped me get top dollar for my house, and even assisted in getting me the necessary tradesman for the minor renovations needed to get the house on the market.

I would highly recommend Brenda Perkins, she is patient, honest and really goes out of her way to understand you and your families needs. We emigrated from Scotland and liaised with Brenda for over a year before moving, where she scoured every possibility of where would be best for us to move to which included what schools would suit our children. We flew over to Florida twice within that year to look at the various recommendations she had made and decided on a perfect area with great schools. We got to know Brenda so well, we entrusted her to go and look at a house which we bought and had never seen as we knew we could trust her judgement implicitly. We bought the house and when we arrived we were delighted with it and so are our children. She is a delight to work with and a very caring woman who I can now call on if I need any advice.

- Martin King

Abercrombie Realtors are simply wonderful. Such a pleasure to have them show us homes in the new area we were moving to. Their knowledge of the area, the streets and the houses, as well as their unique perspective on each house and what it had to offer helped make the buying process really enjoyable. Ann, who we dealt with most, was especially pleasant and patient and always made us feel welcome and at ease. Her husband Lin was also lovely and personable. Just a great couple with really knowledgeable insights. I highly recommend them!

Erin and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. From the beautiful staging and photography, to the exceptional communication and personal attention he provided, I highly recommend Erin as a listing agent. He is an expert on the historic nature of the Riverside area and was able to smooth out a couple of would-be rough patches in the process through his knowledge of real estate law and professionals to get the job done. From listing day to closing day, the process was smooth, quick, and pleasant.

- Kasey Cosley

It was a pleasure to work with Alan. Alan advised us through the process of selling and buying. He went above and beyond to market and sell our home. Our home sold very quickly. Alan was always available to answer any questions via phone or text at all times. If or when I need a Realtor® in the future, I will definitely use Alan. I highly recommend Alan and Bloom Realty.

- Jennifer Kimmel

Highly recommend Alan! We feel very fortunate to have been paired with him through Zillow. During our search and home buying process he was fast with responses/answers to questions, flexible with times, very knowledgeable, patient, and personable. He made the home search/buying process enjoyable and really made us feel like he was on our team. Especially when it came to the necessary repairs needed after the home inspection. He was also kind enough to provide us with trusted and professional vendors he has worked with for some additional work we wanted to be completed.
