We contacted Joe after searching 55places.com online for communities to visit in Venice, FL. We felt very lucky to have connected with such a knowlegable, kind and professional agent. Joe set aside three days for our visit. We went to Florida to search for a retirement home and looked in central Florida and the east coast before our last stop in Venice. Joe showed us new communities as well as Venice and the surrounding area. Never having been in the area before we appreciated seeing everything. Joe was fantastic. He took us back to the same communities several times as we made our decision on what to buy. Joe recommended options and also gave us a great list of resources to use after we moved in. When back in CA while our house was being built we called and emailed Joe a few times with questions. He kept an eye on our house while it was being built and offered to do the final walk through if we couldn't make it. It was wonderful to have such a dedicated and trustworthy "friend" to help us through the whole process and be here when we closed on our house. We can't speak highly enough about Joe and it would be our pleasure to strongly recommend him to any family and friends looking to relocate.
