We had the great pleasure of working with Kevin several years ago to purchase our first home, and it was a no-brainer to give them a call again this time, and I was not disappointed! The entire team at Joe Manausa is 10000% FANTASTIC. On the selling side, Cate Saunders did an amazing job helping us list our previous home and guided us expertly through the sale of our home, making is seem almost easy! Cate helped us get more than we expected for our home and made sure to explain everything we needed and was available for questions at any time.Our expectations were blown out of the water by the service and professionalism of Ondrea Maldonado! From the start, Ondrea helped us look at I dont know how many homes and eventually showed us plans for a new construction home that we absolutely fell in love with! She expertly guided us through the entire process from start to finish, was ALWAYS there anytime we had a question or concern or need to address issues with the builder etc. I simply cannot say enough good things about how positive our experience with Ondrea as our realtor was! I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home. You will be getting a first-rate realtor who will do everything in her power to make your dream home become your reality.Thank you to the entire Joe Manausa Team, but especially, thank you to Kevin, Cate and Ondrea. You guys are fantastic!
As first time home buyers, my husband and I were not fully prepared for what we were walking in to with this current market. We rented from Nikky Manausa for years, and when we were finally ready to take the next steps, Nikky was ready to assist and guide us along our search. She used every home showing as an opportunity to help us solidify our likes/dislikes in a home, the state of the current housing market, what to expect, and future homeowner issues we might encounter. Nikky was available for questions when we needed her and always flexible for home showings.We were very conservative when we started our journey. We had an idea for what we wanted in a home, but after starting our search, we quickly realized our budget was not conducive for the part of town we originally wanted to be on. After multiple conversations with my husband and some serious consideration, we almost gave up. Nikky wanted us to consider a different side of town, but we were reluctant at first. She sent us a cute yellow home, and very politely insisted that we go check it out. We did, and it was perfect. The size was great, the location was good, and it was quiet with the privacy we wanted. Nikky submitted our offer and with a stroke of luck, it was accepted! She was involved, offered her expertise, and even helped with paint selection! We are so glad she nudged us out of our box. Nikky and everyone at Joe Manausa Real Estate are professional and knowledgeable. Nikky Manausa really does know what she is doing. Our Realtor for life!
Chris Poyner did an excellent job in helping us find a property with very specific characteristics and time constraints. As an out of state buyer, he accommodated our availability and provided invaluable insight into the local market. He listened to the requirements and found properties that met our needs. From the start of the search to the closing, he was always available to answer our questions. I would highly recommend him and Manausa Real Estate for anyone searching in the Tallahassee market.
Under contract in less time than I spent deciding to sell! Everything happened so fast that I really had no idea what happened. If efficiency and speed is your thing, you need to work with Michelle Manausa and Joe Manausa Real Estate.After living in and raising our children in my old house for 22 years, it wasn’t an easy decision to move. Back in 2019/2020, I spent a good year poking around different websites just to look around for fun. Suddenly, Joe’s website showed up and I really wanted to look at one particular property. I had to enter my name in order to see the property info. I’m glad I did because I got a message from Michelle whom I’ve known for many, many years. She just casually asked if there’s anything she can do for me. Before I know it, we were looking at building our new house with Tallahassee Homes. A good advice from Michelle. She was our advocate with the builder through the process. All this happened right when Covid19 just started. I almost canceled our contract and forget about the whole thing. Talking it through with Michele who assured me that based on her experience and the market analysis Joe did, the housing market is going to be okay. Boy, were they right!We listed our house sooner than we initially planned, another good thing because the house came on the market with already over 15 people on the list to view the house. No doubt because of the fantastic photographs taken by a super professional and the coming soon marketing tool that they use. The offer came the next day. The closing was smooth sailing and we were homeless sooner than expected.I would recommend anyone who ask me to go with Michelle and Joe Manausa Real Estate!
Best realtor in Tallahassee by far! Their team is very professional, responsive, hard working and pleasant to work with. Their customer service exceeded all of my expectations and made the buying/selling process really enjoyable. Five stars!
Nikky is a fantastic realtor! She is super knowledgeable about the local area and about the process of buying a house. Working with her was my first time buying a house and she helped me to understand all of the big and small details that this process includes. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor.
Cate Saunders at Joe Manausa Real Estate listened to our needs and requirements and found us the perfect home. Her advice and timely actions were critical in getting our offer accepted by the sellers. Everything after that was easy. We had no concerns with the quality and knowledge she provided. We are now living in this fabulous home and couldnt be happier. Many, many thanks to Cate and Joe Manausa Real Estate!
You will never find a real estate company that works harder to help you sell or buy a home in Tallahassee. These guys and gals are THE REAL DEAL. Joe and his team are MARKET EXPERTS. Check out Joe’s blog or his weekly newsletter — they’ll tell you all you need to know about the real estate market in Tallahassee. 5-star service, 5-star people. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
My husband and I can not recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate enough. We have used them to purchase and sell a home and most recently purchase our current home. Ondrea was a great asset to have navigating this crazy market. She was responsive and willing to show us house after house after house without pressuring us into putting an offer that we would not be happy with. Ultimately, we went with a new construction build which had challenge after challenge. Without Ondrea advocating for us, I do not believe we would have ever gotten our house built. She was someone we could depend on and vent our frustration to. She did everything in her power to make sure we were not taken advantage of in the process and make sure we ultimately were happy with the house. Even 3 months after we closed on our house, she was willing to go out of her way to pick up our mailbox keys from our HOA and deliver them to us this week. While we are in our forever house, if we ever do have to sell and buy a new house we will continue to use Joe Manausa.
Im new to the area. A friend referred me to the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. This is my first home buying experience. In the beginning, everything seemed so overwhelming. I spoke with Ondrea Maldonado during my visit. Ms. Maldonado answered all of my questions and addressed every concern. She has completely changed my outlook on being a first time home buyer. Im now ready to begin this new chapter in my life thanks to Ms. Maldonado and the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate!
Lyndsey Palmer is amazing. I came in from out of town to look at homes. We were in contact every day prior to my arrival in Tallahassee. Upon my arrival she mapped out numerous homes for me to tour . She is knowledgeable, professional and personable. I feel as if Ive made a new friend. I definitely recommend this Realtor and hope you are luck enough to work with her.
After working with two other agents my husband and I finally found Therese Gagliano at Joe Manausa Real estate. Working with Therese has made the buying process so much easier. She was able to help us find a home we loved in our price range and made the entire process a breeze. Being new to Florida she even helped my husband and I with choosing a good location based on our priorities, budget, and our work commute. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She has been amazing and made this transition seamless for us.
As a first time home buyer, I was very thankful for all the amazing people on this team! Scarlett and Halima made the process simple and made sure to answer any questions I had. Everyone was always very nice and courteous. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a home!
Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very accommodating and professional throughout our entire home-buying process. I would not hesitate to recommend him or Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Monday mornings would not be the same without Joes newsletter. Always informative and relevant. Wishing you continued success in all that you do.
Joe Manausa was the best choice we made! We used them to purchase our house and had a great experience. When it was time to sell and leave Tallahassee we of course called them back. Cate Saunders is the best agent around. We were confused and didn’t know what to list our house for and how to go about it. After chatting with Cate we had no more worries or questions. She explained the different options we had and listened to our needs/timeline and helped us figure out the best option for us. Well, we were very shocked at how quickly our house sold (1 day on the market) and we never expected to make such an amazing profit! The Joe Manausa team knows what they are doing! You would be crazy to go with anyone else. We had some friends selling their house at almost the same time as us and they were using another company. They were confused and didn’t know what they should do and asked us lots of questions since we going through it a few steps ahead of them. I felt bad that they didn’t have a realtor who took the worry and questions out of it. If you want a confident and knowledgeable realtor who is looking out for you, call Joe Manausa. You won’t regret it!
Tallahassee top level realtor - cannot recommend them highly enough. We used them to not only sell but also buy buying our dream home . The friendly staff provide 5 star customer service with prompt professional communication .
What a great experience. So knowledgeable in the real-estate market, whether youre buy or selling Joe and his team will guide you through the process seamlessly.
Always a great experience when working with Manausa. Their team is professional, responsive, hard working and very pleasant to work with. If youre looking to buy or sell a home..10/10 would recommend using Joe Manuasa!
I used this highly recommended Tallahassee realtor whilst looking at buying a summer house recently. Top quality service from the salesman (didt catch his namee, a friendly chap, Welsh with a bald head) who knew exactly what he was selling. Id say theyre the best Realtor in the region, five star customer service.
Lyndsey is amazing!! She understood exactly what I want and need and found numerous properties to tour. Having previously bought and sold several homes, Lyndsey is so easy to work with (and a lot of fun, too). She made the entire process incredible.
Just completed a meeting with Scarlett Carter. It was a presentation presenting the current state of the housing market and very helpful bits of information about the process of purchasing a home. Not your usual power point snooze fest that takes you to napville. It was well thought out and engages you along with the presentation.
My husband and I had the most amazing experience during this stressing process. We got sold since our first visit to Jose Manausa offices. My husband and I tried before with two other agencies but we were not sold at all, they gave us accurate information but they were very cold. What makes Joe Manausa experience so inviting is the way we were greeted they make us fill like humans, not like one more customer buying a home. Our first meeting was with our Sale Associate, Ondrea Maldonado, she provided us, first time home buyers with all the detailed information of buying a home, she was very patient with us, we had a lot of question that she professionally, answered for us. She guided to all our process, out first attempt to get pre approved didnt go to well, we find out that we still needed to work on some areas of our credit, but we were not demotivated, instead we work hard and wait for a couple of month and that is when we were pre approved and then approved for the Loan and we became Home owner. It was tense but Joe Manausa and Ondrea make it very easy for us. They were there for us throughout the process until the end. We ask so many questions and they always responded to us.Little things have a great impact, we were extremely grateful and pleasantly surprise that at the closing date we received from Ondrea and Joe Manausa a picture frame with the painting of our home, just awesome and then we got home, we were surprised again, we found a Welcome doormat and little plant and a card from Ondrea.We are so happy; we are living in our dream home, our little piece of heaven in earth. Thank you Joe Manausa and everyone else involved in this process but the especial Thanks you and 5 stars go to Ondrea Maldonado!
I had two great experiences with Eva A., an agent with the Manuasa Realty Firm. In 2016, She sold me my townhouse and then when I was ready to sell it this year, she sold it for me. I was not in the area and she went the extra mile to make both transactions as smooth as possible. I highly recommend her and the Manuasa Realty Firm.
I cant even give a proper review on here since 5 stars is not really enough. They have made everything in this process a breeze....Des is probably the most helpful person I could imagine for buying a home (this was my first time), and I literally always felt at ease with her helping me out throughout the process. She was very communicative, very hands-on, and answered all the questions we had every step of the way. If you are moving to Tally, or buying your first home there, or just simply buying another house - dont even bother going through anybody else other than the team at Manausa.
Ask for Ondrea Maldonado! My family is so in awe of her capability, drive and kindness to quickly find my perfect home. In this crazy sellers’ market, there was one day to both view and make an offer. First time buyer - I viewed at 2p and was a buyer by evening time among eight. other. offers. Ondrea went above and beyond to both draft the perfect (and not highest!) offer and communicate with the listing agent to pitch exactly why my offer should be the best the seller would receive. I could not be happier or more grateful. I’m sure I’m not the high $$$ client of Ondrea’s at the time, yet she has treated me throughout as if I’m her only “VIP”. I have no idea how or why Joe Manausa RE gifted me with the seemingly random selection of Ondrea as my realtor, but it’s the best blessing for my relocation and my family. Look no further. Guessing it will be tough to secure this brilliant ladyboss realtor in the near future!!
Chris Poyner was a joy to work with. Ambitious, thorough, responsive and a real professional. Very easy to work with and talk to and always had our best interests in mind. He went out of his way to show properties, research listings, historical data, surrounding areas, etc., . Well prepared, extensively familiar with the geographic areas, and targeted those properties that really met our criteria. Would gladly work with him again!
I really enjoyed working with Michelle and the Joe Manasa staff. It made selling my home very easy. Anytime an issue came about for instance, after the inspection, Michele was readily available and went over all concerns. Michelle and staff not only gave me the best advise, but also presented different avenues to tackle to obstacles in a very timely and costly manner. Truly professional and will be definitely using Joe Manasa for any purchase/selling of future homes. Thank you again!
Joe Manausa and his Tallahassee real estate team are a fun group of professionals that make the stresses of searching for a home easy. They completely understand the fears and anxieties of buying a home and they do everything possible to ease every worry! I highly recommend them for anyone that wants an easy experience of finding the perfect home.
I would like to start off by saying both, the Joe Manausa Real Estate and Bay Capital teams were amazing!! My wife and I are first time buyers and didn’t know much about the process, but Chris made it very easy and comprehensive. We came to Chris once before but weren’t ready yet, but even then he continued walking us through the process. A year later we came back to Chris and he made our dream of owning a home come true! My favorite part about Chris is that he made it very clear that his main priority is that we get a home that we love. From start to finish Chris was very attentive and understanding of our preferences. At one point, my wife and I were going to put in an offer with a home, Chris knew we weren’t 100% sold on. The home had been on the market for a long time, so he convinced us to take a couple days and think it over. The very next day, Chris sent us an email about a home that was soon to be on the market, and now we’re moving in!! I highly recommend Chris and the Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone interested in buying a home!
Every time that I had any questions for this Tallahassee realtor about buying property that someone was selling, they were always there with five star customer service. The best realtors around.
Why would you sell or buy a house with anyone but Cate Saunders or Joe Manausa in Tallahassee?!? Cate Saunders gets the job done, executed flawlessly. Cate delivers exactly what she says shes going to - how she never drops a ball and gives you her undivided attention with her phone constantly dinging is amazing. She feels like that friend you always turn to for advice when you want someone to tell you the hard truth youre trying not to face: never shying away form leveling with you and delivering it in the most comforting way possible. And, she does it all with impeccable grace and beauty - Ive never seen anyone else glide across a construction site in 3-inch heels commanding and earning the respect of every single person on that job in a no-nonsense way. And, I cannot leave out the rest of the Joe Manausa Team - the marketing team is incredible within a day of listing our property we were getting traffic from the target market and sold it in record time for a far from perfect listing. The Joe Manausa office team goes above and beyond whats required of them in too many ways to list. Dont waste your time with anyone else. Just call Joe Manausa.
Joe and his team are the best real estate company in Tallahassee! We were provided with excellent customer service and the highest level of professionalism. Every step of our real estate transaction was smooth and easy thanks to Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Great company! Deswin answered all the questions I had as a first time buyer, and was very patient with me through this process. Ill definitely be a returning customer in the future (if needed) 😉.
The Joe Manausa team is always super helpful and easy to work with. Ondrea Maldonado is well educated in her field and is especially friendly and always willing to help answer my questions no matter how small or insignificant they seem. Great people to work with during what can be a stressful transaction.
Cannot say enough about this group! They helped me buy my first home and when I moved out of state and needed to sell, they literally had it sold in less than week! Thank you Kevin Milligan and Cate Saunders for navigating me through the process! I’m very grateful to you both!
So far we are pleased with the service. We have a long way to go but the power point presentation was great. We hope to find our home and have confidence in the realtors at Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Ondrea Maldonado was very professional. She really did an amazing job. She answered all of my questions and was very patient with me. I would highly recommend using them. Go see Ondrea she is the best.
Ive had the pleasure of working with Kevin Milligan on three home purchases in the past two years. Kevin has yet again provided stellar service! I live out of state and honestly cannot imagine tackling such a challenging endeavor with any other realtor.Kevin is a true professional, unwavering, and remains calm when faced with adversity. Regardless of how busy he is, Kevin always takes the time to answer calls/texts/emails. Kevin delivers on his word which is a crucial character trait for me. Not to mention, he remembers small quirky details on how I like to handle transactions and paperwork, which in my opinion is significant. That proves he really is in tune with his clients.If I purchased thirty more homes, I would call Kevin each and every time. As far as Im concerned, Kevin is the only realtor in Tally.Whether you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned investor, Joe Manausas blogs and YouTube videos provide a wealth of information. Im able to keep up to date on all of the local market trends without even actually living in Florida. If you enjoy statistics, charts, graphics, & historical data (like I do) then the information that Joe provides is invaluable.
Best Tallahassee realtor for both buying and selling your home. I couldn’t say that they had anything less than a five star customer service.
Joe Manausa Real Estate was incredibly helpful with giving me accurate housing market information for the Tallahassee area. The agent I spoke to was also able to help me figure out the type of home I wanted as well. 5 Star Service!
Dawn Balzano first class realtor! Punctual, professional, attentive, and went the extra mile for us! Highly recommend her! Thanks Dawn! Nick and Manny from NY
After my husband & I lost 3 contracts on our house, we lost hope on ever selling our house, yet our new house was contingent upon the sell of our current house.Then we decided to contact Joe Manausa real estate because my husband heard from his co-worker that they were really good. Then we met Ron Rise who took his time and talked to us for over 3 hours just to assure us that we were gonna close on our house in time as he reviewed our house and advised us on what to do. Only 1week later right before our eyes, we saw the progress of our house and team of people making working here and there and we finally sold our house and managed to close on our new house on time. Thank you Ron Rise and Cate Saunders. Thank you Joe Manausa.I would recommend Ron Rise any day.!!! You made us believe in the American dream once again!!
My husband and I started looking for a new home through Joe Manausa Real Estate in 2018, with one of their wonderful real estate agents, Eva Armstrong. Eva was a good match for us, very experienced and knowledgeable, patient and a great guide through all things real estate..We started our journey in 2018 with a great home on some acreage, just what we were looking for. The home was beautiful, large, open...perfect! Unfortunately, Hurricane Michael hit and a big oak fell on the house, requiring major repairs which took quite a while. We moved on, viewing homes all around Tallahassee, as the housing market grew hotter, and more and more competitive.We persevered, with Eva showing us home after home. I learned a lot from Eva about neighborhoods, house styles, home inspections, WDO issues, etc. We had to pull out of 2 contracts due to issues revealed during inspections.Frustrated, we moved on, with Eva patiently leading us through more viewings until we found a wonderful home, large with a great layout, on acreage, fenced, in a beautiful established neighborhood! Third times a charm. Success!We have settled in, after a quick, stressless closing, and were happy after the eventful, but instructive journey, led by Eva and the wonderful professionals at Joe Manausa! Thank you all, especially Eva Armstrong.
The agents at Joe Manausa Real Estate are so welcoming and offer a great and very informative presentation. My friends are relocating from up north and they felt like someone really listened to their needs and tgey truly care about finding them exactly what they want. Extremely impressed!!
I recently completed my home search and purchase in Tallahassee with Lyndsey Palmer. I can only give high praise for Lyndsey, and the entire team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. Everyone is friendly and professional, and assists buyers with anything they need. Love them!
I found Joe Manausa on YouTube. He publishes incredibly informative videos about the housing market and Tallahassee in particular. So, when I was ready to buy a home and return to my home state of Florida from Las Vegas, his group was the only one I wanted to work with. I knew I made the right decision when I started working with agent Ondrea Maldonado. Since I am not on site to physically walk through the home, Ondrea FaceTimed with me and walked me through the house and the property- and answered all the questions I had. Shes kept me up to date on inspections and overall progress. She has held my hand through all of this with a level of professionalism and kindness that is out of this world. I appreciate her due diligence and follow through. I cant imagine anyone providing me a more personalized, generous and professional service. (Special shouout to Halima Ike - my Buyer Transaction Coordinator - THANK YOU for helping save me some money on services. You didnt need to do that, and I appreciate you so much.) Ondrea & Halima - thanks to you, Joe Manausa Real Estate will have my business and loyalty for LIFE.
Joe Manausa realty was great to work with! Ondrea Maldonado worked with us to find just the right place. She was helpful, responsive, patient, and fun! Others we spoke to on the team were always professional and helpful as well.
Thank you to Jason Madsen for such a wonderful experience in selling our house. Great professional approach and personable touch that made our journey less stressful! Thank you to the while team and thank you Jason, it was a pleasure doing business with you!
Great experience! Ondrea Maldonado’s teamwork and professionalism was just what we needed. Thank you for your patience and care!
I was mind blown by how Joe Manausa Real Estate sold my house in a flash. After going through a hard time with my previous agent, Ron Rice rose to the occasion. He was calm, composed, and knew what he was talking about. He kept my wife and I informed on the progress of the listing. Our house went into contract before hitting the market. Him and Cate Saunders are the real deal. We found hope in them. I’ve already recommended 2 of my neighbors and I will still do it over and over. Give them a call and see how the best real estate team will make everything painless. Thank you Ron Rice and Cate Saunders of Joe Manausa! Y’all Rock!!!!
We are relocating to Tallahassee from out-of-town, and really appreciate all the help from our realtor, Marcus Edenfield! He was so knowledgeable about Tallahassee, in general, as well as the specific neighborhoods and school districts, and very accommodating to our schedules as we traveled into town to look at houses. He helped us find a house that will be a great fit for our family!
Manausa Real Estate brings energy and personal attention to a hot housing market in Tallahassee. Their customer service sets them apart. Highly recommend.
When we were ready to sell I wasn’t sure where to start. My mom recommended Joe Manausa. Let me just say I am glad I listened!! Caitlin Saunders was our main contact after Ron Rice onboarded us. They are a great team, and made the whole process almost fun;) I can say with confidence that Caitlin is the #1 reason our house sold for a great price and super fast!! She helped us understand the process and was not afraid of the tough conversations. She took care of everything. I can not imagine going thru this process with anyone else. Thank you Caitlin for everything you do!!
I had a great experience working with Nikky Manausa and Joe Manausa Real Estate. I first met Nikky when I reached out to her through Zillow about a rental property she owned. I was on the fence about buying at that point because I was scared of the commitment. When I found out Nikky was a realtor, I shared this with her and she helped put my fears at ease. It worked out great as I was able to rent from Nikky for 9 months while I familiarized myself with Tallahassee and decided what my priorities in a home were.Throughout the process, I felt that Nikky was invested in helping me find a home that I loved. She was patient with all of my questions as a first-time homebuyer and really worked to ensure that I understood the process. She also connected me with other great people including my lender and home inspector who also made the process easier. She was also easy to reach and willing to go above and beyond.I purchased my home during a very competitive seller’s market. Nikky helped me put together a competitive and fair offer that I was comfortable with. I don’t think I would have ended up getting the house if it was not for her advice as we were putting together the offer. She made sure that I choose a number that I was comfortable with and that I did not overpay. I really value Nikky’s negotiation skills, which were not only important during the offer stage but also post inspection when it was discovered the house needed a new roof. She was able to negotiate a new roof paid for by the seller.I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nikky and would definitely recommend her to other first-time buyers! I have been in my home for just over 3 months and could not be happier!
The team here is incredibly professional and helpful. Therese was very knowledgeable about the home buying process and market and was able to answer all of my questions.
We had a great experience selling our home with Ron Rice! We got a good price, a quick sale, and absolutely no hassle-- everything we wanted from the sale of our home. Bonus: the buyer was happy, too!
Joe Manausa is a proven real estate professional, with a comprehensive knowledge of Leon County.
The team at Joe Manausa Real Estate is nothing short of first class. While I am not currently in the market to buy or sell my home, if I were, this is the the only real estate company I would contact in Tallahassee! Best staff and team in the business!
I have confidence in recommending Nikky Manausa to handle any of your real estate needs. She was referred to me by a friend. She responds fast, is friendly, and not to mention an animal lover. When I was working and unable to be there to get the house together, she got in and put her magic “fairy dust” to make the house ready to shine for showings. If needed she would come by and put my dog in her crate. She will help stage your home so you get top dollar. The team behind her included advertising and making 350 view videos to get the most views on the web. There is a major difference between someone who went to school for a certificate and Nikky who cares about you and enjoys her job. With multiple offers she help filter the offers and present to me quality buyers. She continued to check in with me through each process. There is no doubt that you have to pay a fee to your real estate agent when you sell your home, but this girl will get the price and value to pay for her commission. Offer was put in over asking before it came to coming soon, held over weekend for best and final overs and had 3 really good options. Ask for Nikky!
If you are selling or purchasing a home and looking for a realtor company that has patience, understanding, intelligence, did I say patience!!!! 😉Joe Manausa Real Estate is who you want on your side!!!!My husband and I sold and purchased our homes with this company. We started out with Ron Rice who helped us sale our home. It was not even a week that Ron sat down with us at the dinner table and in a few days our home was SOLD. Ron is amazing and 1st class! Ron introduced us to Chris Poyner who then went many days showing us new homes and would stop at nothing to make sure my husband and I found a home that we would both love. The Manausa team was there with us through the entire process. We can say so much more about Ron & Chris and the appreciation that we have for them both but, we would just like for everyone to know buying and selling a home comes with a lot of uncertainties but, we never ever doubted the Joe Manausa Process!!!The entire team at Manausa is absolutely amazing. James and I wish you all much continued success and blessings at Manausa Real Estate!!!The Leonard Family
Kevin took his time to show us multiple homes and walk us through the process of buying a new home and selling our existing home. He provided great advice on getting our home ready to sell. Kevin and his staff were very caring and professional to our needs. We would recommend his team to anyone.
Joe Manausa and his staff helped me purchase my retirement home remotely from out of state. I was able to view homes virtually and safely during COVID, too. Even though I was all the way in Illinois, I received 5-star service from start to finish. The folks at Joe Manausa Real Estate were attentive, considerate, and provided A+ real estate market guidance for me. The company approach to helping me buy real estate was a great experience!
Joe’s process was a life saver in the buying process. As first time home owners in Tallahassee we learned so much regarding the market and buying process here in Tallahassee. Joe manausa real estate was a blessing, extremely professional and caring.
I highly recommend Joe Manausa real estate. Michelle Manausa is who I have worked with in the past and recently. She really listens to your needs and has great advice. She is very attentive and always has solutions. She is just a pleasure to work with
Chris Poyner and colleagues went all out to help us find a home, even from a distance. We virtually toured several homes and were able to find one that met almost all of our wish list items and was in a great neighborhood.
My wife and I had a great experience buying our first home. We had a meeting with Joe Manausa Real Estate 4 years ago and decided we would definitely go to them when we were ready. Chris Poyner was outstanding! He surpassed our expectations with the whole process! I highly recommend Chris Poyner at Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking to buy a home!
I cant say enough about the help I got from Kevin Milligan, Ron Rice, and Cate Saunders. It took 2 months to finalize the sale on a complicated situation where their advice helped. Every team member at Joe Manausa was so courteous & Professional. You wont find a better Realtor.
My wife and I recently sold our multi-unit, multi acre property in Tallahassee. I choose Manausa because of the radio ads and their reputation. I worked directly with Michelle who performed her duties flawlessly! She took the time to listen to our concerns, walked us through the process step-by-step and so much more. The result: Manausa sold my home in hours! Thats right, the day it hit the market, we got an offer over our asking price. Needless to say we accepted the offer! I cannot say enough good things about Michelle and the Manausa team. I expected our specialty property to take a while to sell, but what a pleasant surprise to have our house under contract within hours...literally.If you are thinking about using Manausa for your home sale or purchase, stop thinking and start dialing the Manausa team now! This is THE real estate company to partner with.Thank you for everything, Michelle!
My wife and I have been working with Joe Manausa Real Estate to purchase my first home for a few months now. I was inspired to write this review because I want other prospective home shoppers to know that the initial buyer consultation in their office was SO HELPFUL. Kevin and Deswin walked me through the home buying process, and helped me understand the current market conditions inside and out. I learned how important being properly prepared is to being a happy buyer. Whatever you do, dont just go meet an agent at the house -- get your ducks in a row first! Now we are armed with a good lender and our affairs are in order to pounce on the right house when it hits the market. Thank you Joe and team!
Ondrea did a great job showing us homes that really fit our requirements. She was also careful not to allow us to get separated while driving so we avoided getting lost.Gerard
Working with the Kevin from the Joe Manausa team was amazing! From day one he explained everything to us and what we should expect moving forward. Everything was smooth sailing. Kevin was present at our home inspection and was always a phone call away. Our closing was great! All of our paperwork was in order and closed within an hour. We are so happy to have chosen Joe Manausa to help us with our first home purchase.
Michelle Manausa at Joe Manausa Real Estate was an absolute pleasure to work with. She exceeded every possible expectation and went above and beyond to help us. She answered texts and emails immediately and was readily accessible. We were looking for a home to buy in the counties around Tallahassee, while living in central Florida 4 hours away. She made the long-distance process smooth and seamless. When we were ready to drive up to see houses during a weekend, she secured well-organized showings so we could have an efficient experience. Her knowledge and expertise was apparent as we looked at pros and cons for each property. When we found the right fit, she worked closely with us in the negotiations. Her advice was spot on! And then she attended the inspection and was willing to be our eyes and ears since we could not drive up for it. She took measurements and sent pictures during the inspection! We recommend her highly and will certainly choose her again for any future real estate needs!
When you are looking to buy a forever home or sell a house...Joe Manausa Real Estate is who you need to contact. I just recently purchased my forever home and without the help of Joe’s team I could not have achieved this dream. My first experience with Kevin was awesome. He spent time with me reviewing the home buying process through an excellent presentation and took time to listen to me about what I wanted and answered all of my questions. Additionally, Kevin was just a phone call or text away no matter what I needed. While on the hunt for my home, I also had the opportunity to work with Jordan, Chris, and Tim. All of them made me feel like more than a customer. They treated me as if I was family. Kevin was also an excellent resource when it came to the process of getting a home loan as he referred me to Loan Depot! Ron Byrom and the team at Loan Depot made the process of getting a home loan very easy and seamless. Last but not least, Sydney was amazing in making sure all of the pieces were in place and set for closing. When I first started this journey, I have to admit it was scary but with Joe’s team, my fears quickly subsided due to their collective knowledge and teamwork. Giving Joe Manausa Real Estate a 5-Star rating is more than well-deserved. I am truly grateful for their dedication to providing the best customer experience in buying my forever home!!!
I highly recommend Eva Armstrong, who is professional, organized and an excellent communicator. Eva used phone calls, text messages, and emails, freely as needed. Evas final walk through with me was clear on what needed attention for my home sale. My home was under contract within a few weeks, and sold within a month. Contract modifications were explained and finalized in a few days. The closing went smoothly, and details were communicated freely. Lastly, I was able to move into a mother-in-law suite with my daughter and son-in-law.
Kevin Milligan and the rest of the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate are truly phenomenal. My husband and I have bought and sold 7 homes over the past 12 years and we have dealt with many people in the real estate industry. I’ve never been more impressed than I have with the team at Joe Manausa. They do real estate differently. Kevin is tremendously knowledgable about the industry, easy to talk to, and very responsive. He makes you feel like a priority. In today’s market you need someone who is going to pick up the phone and go the extra mile. Kevin is absolutely that guy.
I worked with Marcus Edenfield and had a great experience purchasing a home in the school zone I needed on a tight budget. He was responsive when I had questions or wanted to see a home and went above and beyond to secure a home that met my needs.
Ron Rice literally led me by the hand in selling my family home, as that is what I asked for. He informed me every step of the way as things were about to happen. He checked in on me regularly, like a dear friend. He and his team were phenomenal. I could not have picked a better team to sell my home. I would not hesitate to ask for his help again. They took great pictures and posted them. Thank you Ron, Ean, Georgiana, Shelly, Cate, and amyone else behind the scenes I may have forgotten. I appreciate all your time, advice and help in selling my home to the first buyer.
My husband and I currently under contract for a home that is set to close Sept 3rd. A week ago (after paying for inspections, deposits, packing our entire home etc,) we learned that the seller had a lien on her home. Typically the seller uses proceeds from the deal to pay the lien. We have learned that there are more than enough proceeds to do this but our seller has decided she doesn’t wish to pay the lien and is refusing to pay her lien therefore refusing to sell the property. She is in breech of contract because we are prepared to close, ready to close and have not terminated the contract.What is completely shocking to me is that the sellers realtor is a very well known realtor in town and has gained the business of so many local residents. (Joe Manausa) The realtor and the company has went completely silent refusing to answer any of our calls, emails or even a letter from our attorney threatening to sue. We now have to pay MORE and put in more time so that the seller is forced to close. Thank goodness we are in a position that allows us to do so!I want the public to know how we are being treated. I want them to be aware of how careful you should be when buying a home but more importantly DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!
As a first-time homebuyer I was extremely nervous about purchasing a home. I reached out to Joe Manausa Real Estate and got the best agent I could have had in Chris Poyner. He was completely professional and patient with us. He took his time explaining the entire process of homebuying and was there for us every step of the way. I really enjoyed working with Chris he was very proficient, very helpful and handled my requests and concerns with excellence. If I should have to use Joe Manausa Real Estate again, I hope to have someone as beneficial as Chris.
We LOVED working with Michelle Manausa at Joe Manusa Real Estate! Selling a house can be stressful, especially when you are not local. Michelle was a so professional, personable and calm during the whole process. She went above and beyond her realtor duties to help us sell our house and we couldnt be more appreciative!! If you need a superior real estate agent call her!!
I found our agent Eva very professional and very helpful it made the transition down south even easier.
My husband and I recently purchased a home from out of state. Our rep is Chris Poyner and he is awesome. From beginning to end, he was responsive and made everything easy for us. He knew the market and what we were looking for and found us a great home! Kevin also showed us some homes and was very knowledgeable and accomodating. Many thanks to the Joe Manausa team!
My husband and I moved from out of state and decided to search for and buy our first home through Joe Manausa. We couldnt have had a better experience! Our agent, Kevin Milligan, was highly responsive and helped us find a great home in our price range. He was very attentive during our house hunting trip and went above and beyond, showing us a range of homes, driving us around Tallahassee, not to mention he gave us so much of his time! If any last minute homes appeared on the market, Kevin went out of his way to show it to us while we were in town, making sure we saw some great options. Kevin was authentic and genuine, and we had a GREAT experience working with him. He generously walked us through the home buying process. I am also impressed with how smoothly the closing process went: everyone at the agency responded promptly to any questions we had, and they made sure to maintain great communication with us as we purchased the home while out of state. I could tell they wanted us to be happy with our home, and they did an amazing job arranging inspections and paperwork. I will definitely work with them in the future for our housing needs. GREAT and smooth experience.
Kevin has been amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful through an exciting but stressful journey of buying a house. He really listens to what you want and helps you find it!
Very professional service provided by Ondrea Maldonado! Highly recommend JMRE for all your real estate needs in Tallahassee.
As a first time home buyer I have been very pleased with the service Ive received from Kevin, Sydney, and the rest of the team that has helped me through my home buying experience.Kevin is very knowledgeable and is easy to approach. He did not hesitate to answer any of my late night questions. Kevin even went out of his way to meet me during my closing to offer me my first home owner gift :)I also want to thank Sydney. She has been a great help. Sydney is a great asset to the team she was pleasant to work with and maintained a very high level of professionalism.
Eva Armstrong went above and beyond in helping me sell my brothers house. I live out of state, and because of Covid-19, could not travel to Tallahassee. She made the experience stress-free. You can depend on these folks to do the best job possible. We had the house sold and closed within a month, for more than we listed it for. She is a terrific realtor!
My #1 go-to for Tallahassee real estate news and information.
I am a local lender here in Tallahassee and I work with the Joe Manausa Real Estate Team on a regular basis. The JMRE Team is a genuine, hard working group of professional realtors who are very informed, responsive and organized. They create individual plans for each customer to help best fit their home buying/selling needs. As a lender, it is important to know that the realtor on any given deal is fully involved every step of the way, and that describes the JMRE team to a T. If you are looking for someone to help with your buying and/or selling needs, look no further - youve struck gold with this dedicated crew.
As a first time home seller, the Joe Manausa team did a great job working with us each step of the way and keep us updated as we progressed towards closing day. Caitlin Saunders was very responsive and helped us make the best decision for our home sale.
Great group to work with.
I purchased a home with Joe Manausa Real Estate in Tallahassee. I was so impressed with the company and agents that I contacted them during the sale of my home three years later due to a work transfer. Kevin and Caitlin were so awesome to work with. They were very knowledgeable, professional, and very responsive at all times. It was a very meaningful experience. I’m definitely recommending my friends/colleagues to this agency and real estate agents.
Great customer service.
Caitlin Saunders is awesome! She worked with us for over 3 months to finally get us in our new home. She was available around the clock to assist us. She made us feel like we were not just customers, but friends during the process. She knew our children, our likes and dislikes, and wanted us to be completely satisfied with our purchase. Sydney Chick was also extremely helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend the Joe Manausa Real Estate team when looking for your new home.
Great company, took real good care of my family! Highly recommended!
We couldn’t have been any luckier to work with Kevin Milligan when purchasing our first home. Kevin and Sydney Chick communicated with us throughout the whole process (no matter what time or day it was!). We felt like they really had our best interests in mind. The house that Kevin recommended for us is the one we chose & now love. If we had to buy 10 more houses, we would go through Kevin at Joe Manausa real estate every time. You guys are wonderful & we appreciate you making this so easy!
I am very pleased with Joe and his entire team. They were friendly, and very knowledgeable. Id definitely choose to work them again and would certainly recommend them as well. Thanks, Joe!
I worked with Jason Madsen as my realtor as a first time home-buyer here in Tallahassee. Jason time and time again would over-promise and under deliver. I had really hoped that a real estate company with almost 5 stars would only hire the best and brightest, that kept their promises to customers.As a first time home buyer, I had to settle on a lot of things with this home purchase. He didnt try very hard to negotiate or push for the non-negotiable items I listed to be fixed and provided documentation for. And after his inability to get sod included in our contract he gave me his word that regardless of the sellers cooperation he would fulfill this promise to me, and provide me a full yard of grass. I asked to have it in writing and he told me over text message not to worry and he would handle it.Its now been 5 months since closing and hes been nothing but rude over text with me, stating that there is nothing more to be done on his end, leaving me with a bare backyard and dirt patches throughout my front yard. Ive talked to people in the manausa office trying to see if theres anything that they could do but they cant do much besides ask him to make this right. Its been two months since I talked to the office manager and still no word from Jason.
My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Joe Manausa Real Estate to purchase our first home. Cate was an absolute joy to work with and was always eager to answer our first-time home buyer questions! She was so communicative about market trends and home availability and ensured that we were looking at homes that fit our goals and budget. Sydney kept us organized and on track for closing, which was so appreciated! Our closing was less than orthodox due to COVID--19, but Cate made sure that it still felt like a celebration. Thank you Cate, Sydney, and thank you Joe Manausa Real Estate!
