In 2000, we investigated purchasing a Florida vacation/rental home. We met with James Aguliar three separate times, asking numerous questions. Mr. Aguilar patiently answered our questions, gave us brochures, lent us a short-term rental tenant’s book, gave us maps and encouraged us to explore area subdivisions and properties. During this time we never felt any pressure to purchase a home, nor did we ever feel belittled for asking so many questions. These are a few of the attributes and services offered by James that earned our respect and gratitude:
• pictures were sent via the internet of the building progression, even though this service was the contractor’s responsibility.
• emails and phone calls were responded to promptly. Emails were often responded to by personal phone calls, which were always respectful of the time difference (four hours).
• questions were willingly answered, restated, referenced and researched.
• references were given upon request for local furniture, insurance and home inspection companies.
• the status of the building site, contractor’s timelines, title company readiness and much more were regularly reported to us. We feel we made an excellent choice in using James Aguilar as our agent. He has been friendly, respectful, caring, knowledgeable, courteous, patient, accommodating and very enthusiastic! During the following twelve months we dealt with two other real estate agents and neither came close to comparing with the professionalism and sincerity of James Aguilar. We still correspond with James and look forward to visiting with him when we vacation in Florida. Plus he gives us great tips on finding the best golf courses!

"I found James' details from the internet and within a matter of hours of emailing him with my request he had responded to me - what service! Normally you wait for a few days before anyone gets back to you! James was extremely helpful and immediately put me at ease. I am British and live in Holland as was making preliminary enquiries about purchasing a buy to let property near to Disney. James suggested we come to his office the following week when we arrived in Florida. We arrived at his office and he had already found a selection of properties that matched our criteria, we initially chose three to have a look at, and James' lovely wife took us to view them. We immediately fell in love with a property at Windsor Palms, James had taken our criteria and chosen the perfect house for us! We took that evening to think things through, and the next morning arrived (without an appointment!) at James office. James saw us at once and when we told him we wanted to purchase the property he sorted everything out, even helping with the mortgage etc. We enjoyed a few more days in Florida then went home. All the paperwork was couriered to us, we got is signed and notarised and sent back, and hey presto, within 8 weeks of seeing the property, we owned it!! James has also been an invaluable source of information about the happenings in Florida and sends us regular emails about everything that's going on - it makes us feel involved, even though we don't get many opportunities to visit! James is defiantly the person to help you buy and sell your house!" Laura Dyer laura.dyer@serendipity-net.com

Our first experience as Florida Property Investors was an excellent one. From the time we first made contact with James nothing was to too much trouble to make our inspection visit a smooth one. The deals were done and the customer care and support with everything from contracts, to the furniture package introduction and the mortgage assistance etc was spot on. It is the after sales service which is impressive. James has kept in touch constantly to ensure he cares about our business and our new Florida home purchase. A very professional but caring service from James Rob Norman robnorman@wytchwoods.freeserve.co.uk

We saw James near the end of our property shopping trip back in October 2003. We had already been shown some properties by two other realtors. The first one was a bit patronizing to women in my opinion and kept showing us properties that he obviously wanted to get rid of rather than we wanted. The second was very nice but just did not show us what we really wanted. When we gave James a brief of what we wanted he went straight to work to show us only places he knew we were interested in. He was very professional and easy to talk to. He did not waste our valuable time showing us a project he wanted to sell but he knew we did not want. James' follow up service was excellent and he sent us pictures of our villa during the building phase. He always replied promptly to emails and eventually did a walk through when the villa was built with the builders because we could not get out there to do this ourselves. We would recommend James to anyone looking to buy a property in Orlando. Sue and Andy Evans From Essex in UK SUZANNEEVANS10@aol.com

In the short period of time we met James Aguilar he proved to be a vital link in our investment opportunity in Florida. Upon meeting James on the first day he instantly came across as a friend who just lived around the corner. He listened to my needs, advised with out pressure and guided me to my target with out taking me through barriers. He is professional, dedicated, and 100% caring, I felt comfortable and secure in the knowledge that James would offer a service that is so hard to find in the modern world of business. I wish him every success in his new venture knowing that his new clientele will benefit from his skills. Alistair and Jocelyn McIntyre.

We wish you every success in your new venture and thank you and Fiona for the help given the purchase of our property at Southern Dunes. Your professional manner was an asset not only in the dealings with Park Square Homes but the overall information relative to finance .In particular the assistance with Wachovia Bank. Your knowledge of the requirements for people who live outside the United States is of great value. When people like Jane and myself live so far away it is important to have a contact that can be trusted and is completely honest . You have certainly proved these qualities. We look forward to seeing you on our next visit in your new premises and we are sure you will develop an excellent business. Regards Geoff and Jane Bond Porthcawl Britain jane.bond2@virgin.net

We flew out from the UK specifically to purchase a new home near Disney. James was helpful in providing us with information via the web before we arrived. When we met James, we were impressed with the way he drove us to visit several sites and helped us narrow down our search to one gated area (including stopping and giving us lunch and refreshments on the way!). He was very patient with us as we rejected house after house - often for the most trivial of reasons - until we made our final choice. James helped us negotiate with the builder, and assisted us with opening a bank account - not the simplest of tasks in the US!. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone wishing to purchase property in the Disney area, and will certainly be using him and his new company when the time comes for us to trade up to a new home.

"Chad Hatton was our Realtor for our recent house purchase in Florida. We had not bought property in the US before, and so we were not sure what to expect from the US system. Chad was very professional, helpful and friendly. We had a concern at one point during the process, but Chad used his initiative, went the extra mile and ensured our concern was satisfactorily addressed. We quickly realized we were building a relationship - not just buying a house. We found Chad very well-informed about relevant aspects of the local market and very perceptive - he quickly understood our requirements (even before we did!). We actually enjoyed the process of buying our house in Florida and happily recommend Chad's services to others. Mr and Mrs Nicolson, United Kingdom"

All went fantastically well from our end and although there was a slight delay at the end this was no problem to us. Communication, either by phone or e-mail, kept us up to speed all through the process and all our questions were answered promptly in language that a layman could understand. Both our Management Company and the Title Company were brought together and acted like a real team and from 3000 miles away this was very helpful! Well done to all at Refined Realty Cheers Allan

Once I had found an interested buyer, both Fiona and James answered their many questions promptly and helpfully. This reassured the interested buyers and ensured their continuing enthusiasm for my home. Once a date was set to visit the home, Fiona was able to meet the buyers ,show them round the home and answer many questions. This communication and attention secured the sale of my home, which then continued to a smooth and quick closing. Thank you, Lynn Holcroft
