Comments from our valued customers!


Thank you from the very bottoms of our hearts...
"I just wanted to send a very special "Thank You" from Bob and me to Arlene Colecchia. We were talking about how wonderful she was and what a key element she was in getting us into our awesome home.  We can't believe it's been a year already; but, it seems like we've lived here all our lives. Arlene was the only agent we dealt with who didn't pressure us into anything and she was so patient and understanding.  If everyone could have the same experience we had in buying their home, no one would ever want to leave it for anything in the world, because it would be the most perfect home ever. She would make sure of that."

Bob's relaxed manner and great listening skills made us feel comfortable...
"My wife Sharon and I would like to thank Mr. Bob Lipply for services above and beyond duty.  It was our first home buying experience and he was calm and a great listener.  Prior to working with Bob, we had  another agent who showed us a few homes.  Though we never committed to her, the properties did not interest us  at all.  We felt she didn't understand our needs, but Bob listened to us. You could ask Bob any question and if he didn't know the answer, he would find out and get back to you in a timely fashion.  He also recommended a mortgage broker, an insurance agent and a home inspector who were all excellent.  Although we looked at about 35 homes, Bob was always professional and fun to be with.  We are very happy with the home we purchased and still feel comfortable enough to be able to call on him. We highly recommend Bob Lipply and Remax for all your realty needs."

We will be forever grateful...
"Buying a new house and relocating a family can be a challenge.  Buying a house that is 2000 miles away can make it even more challenging.  They say when you buy a house to keep in mind three important things, "location, location, location."   Well let us tell you, we would add "relationship, relationship, relationship."  We had the good fortune to work with Joe Gibbons. From the very beginning he made us feel at ease.  He was patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and above all wanted what was best for us. With Joe's help, we found our dream house.  We also found a new friend who we admire and trust.  Thanks to Joe, he made a potentially stressful situation, a fun and extremely positive experience."

He was sensitive and kind and made me feel confident we could get the job done...
"I wanted to take a little time to write to you regarding my experience selling my father's home through your team. I live in Maryland, and my father lived in Palm Harbor, Florida until his passing in November 2008. Amid the grief of a family member's death comes the responsibilities of dealing with their property, and tackling this task from nearly 1000 miles away was a daunting prospect.  I scoured the internet, reading as much as I could about the various real estate brokerages, and dialed the number for The Lipply Group. It was my good fortune that Michael Madson answered the phone. I was instantly impressed with Michael, who proved superb, start to finish. When I met him in person I was even more impressed, and decided right away he would be my listing agent. Throughout the entire process of listing, clearing the home, staging, showing and selling, Michael handled every detail quickly, with high energy and good humor. The home stager and photographer he brought took excellent photos, and the internet presence provided by The Lipply Group was top flight. Michael was always quick to answer my calls and emails and was instantly responsive to any concerns. As I was selling from such a distance, Michael had a lot of extra tasks to perform as he attended to all the details of the sale, and he was efficient, professional and detail-oriented. In a challenging market we sold the home quickly, and everyone involved was well served. In short, I feel very fortunate to have met and selected Michael to list and sell my father’s home. I would without hesitation recommend Michael to anyone, local or long distance, with a property to sell. I have to think that his knowledge and professionalism would be of benefit to buyers as well as sellers. Many thanks to Michael, and everyone at The Lipply Group who assisted us at this difficult time. We remain most appreciative."

Buying a house from 1100 miles away can be a tough process...
"Found Bob Lipply on the internet and contacted him first by email. Other real estate agents might have been reluctant to spend any time with somebody in New Jersey who just might buy a house… But Bob jumped right in and started helping us sight unseen. Bob knew that we could only go so far with the process before coming down and seeing houses in person. It took a lot of time and a lot of coordination, as well as eventually two trips into the area before we found the house we were looking for. Bob made the time for us to handle all the long distance communication and spent the best part of two days traveling with us to check out the homes we were interested. My wife Terri and I now own a home in Tarpon Springs and we couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you Bob!"

Bob did a good job of shooting straight with me, and never pushed me into anything...
"I'm a recent college graduate located in New York. I have not had enough time yet to develop a large portfolio, but I knew I wanted to acquire some property assets. Florida presented a better opportunity for me than New York, but it's so far away! So Bob made it all happen for me. He did the leg work to get me a pre-construction condo within my budget. He hustled to get me photo's since I did not have time to get to Florida personally. He set me up with a loan agent as well as a rental agency. In a competitive market, Bob Lipply really was able to add a personal touch that made the whole process as comfortable as possible. Thanks for the help Bob."

Working with Bob was so easy...
"He really simplified the process for me and explained everything I needed to know. My house sold for the asking price in the first week. It was so quick that we had to cut our honeymoon short to move out, but since we got the asking price, it was worth it."

Brian and Cindy Davignon, Tampa, FL

Bob Lipply is a person with integrity, who is patient and hard working...
"Buying a new home or investment property can be an overwhelming, frightening experience but even more so when looking to buy in a new state. Where do you begin? It helps to have a real estate agent you can trust, who really listens to your needs and who knows the area. Bob Lipply guided us through the process every step of the way. Bob helped us feel at ease, answered all our questions and negotiated a good deal for us. We could never thank him enough!"

Brad and Carol Belleville, Buffalo, New York

We have bought two houses now with Bob and have been very happy...
"Bob Lipply made buying a new home so easy for my husband and I. He was very patient in answering all of our questions, and taking us to look at many different houses. He let us choose what houses we wanted to look at, and never pushed us into looking at something we were not interested in. We have bought two houses now with Bob and have been very happy with both. We strongly recommend him to anyone looking at buying a home."
