TESTIMONIALS
We took the property assessment tour with Maria in early October 2011 and found the condo that we had been dreaming of for the past several years. The tour was very informative, and Maria listened to our needs and only showed us the condos that met our criteria’s. There was no rush, no pressure. Everyone at Reliable Realty was extremely helpful in getting the condo ready for vacation rental use. Claudine (the Office Administrator then) was very instrumental in getting the additional items we needed and being sure photos were taken and emailed to us so we could see the progress. In the end, we owned a beautiful condo at Arenas de Bavaro that suited us to a tee! Todd has kept it consistently rented since we purchased it, and we felt he and Gregory kept us well informed at every turn in the road! 6 years later, after semi-retiring in our El Cortecito (Punta Cana) condo by the beach, we sadly had to sell it due to other family needs back in in TN. We of course listed our property with Maria. She provided a CMA on its worth and she was spot on! Maria sold it for us in less than 45 days! Our property had appreciated in value since we originally purchased it, so we were well pleased. We understand the new owners absolutely love it too! A rewarding feeling. We still miss our condo, Punta Cana golf courses, and our semi-retired life there. But we will visit often. Maybe rent our old condo. We can’t thank the hard-working team of Reliable Realty for everything they did for us. We will always be appreciative. Thank you!

Hello Todd and Maria! We had such a blast the week we were in Punta Cana, and it was SOOOOO hard leaving when the time came. Renting a condo through your agency was so easy and we felt right at home the whole time we stayed there. We loved being able to explore the fun and safe beach-town areas of El Cortecito and Los Corales and found so much to do there! You know it’s been a successful vacation when you start planning to come back before you even leave, right? We are so glad we combined our vacation with our house-hunting endeavors. Thanks so much Maria for your detailed showing spreadsheet too. It will really help us evaluate where we want to buy when we are ready. Believe it or not, we loved all the properties you showed us so much that even now we find it hard to decide which one we like the most. That changes pretty much daily because all the properties have their positives and practically no negatives. You really did a great job picking properties for us. Now it’s up to us to pick one (or two!). We’ve both been incredibly busy since our return and working non-stop. That’s always the bad part of a vacation, the work that’s waiting for us when we get back. We will definitely be back though, and I know we will be in touch often. You are a great friend, and we want to make sure you know you are already an important partner in our future planning. We surely would not be able to do what we want to do without your valuable help and guidance. Thanks so much for all you do. We really do value your help and your friendship. Friends for life, right? See you in the spring and talk to you sooner than that!

A long overdue thank you Maria. Our assessment tour was very informative and extremely entertaining. As others have said, it was the best day of our holiday. As you know we must sell a property up here before we can purchase in Punta Cana. I will continue to do my Saturday morning updates on your website. When the day comes, you can be sure we will be using your services. Can't wait to be neighbors. If we must holiday again before we are able to purchase, we will indeed let you know!

Hi Maria, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the Real Estate Assessment Tour. It was like hanging out with a friend and very informative. I actually told a friend recently that "the tour” was the best part of my vacation! Thanks so much!

My wife and I along with 9 other family members / friends traveled from Newfoundland, Canada and stayed at the Punta Cana Princess Resort Mar.22-29/2012. Within the last few days of researching some things to do outside the resort, we fortunately came across your Resource Guide “Getting Around Punta Cana Insider Tips”. A big help in learning how to get around Bavaro and Punta Cana. First, I must say thank you for such a wonderful source of info. It was so valuable and helpful for our group during our stay in Punta Cana!!! It is hands down the most informative guide I have ever come across in my days of researching prior to vacationing abroad (8 cruises and 4 All Inclusive resorts over the last 7 years). My wife and I would like to know if we could also arrange for a Real Estate Assessment tour, as discussed in your guide, to view some of your vacation properties that you market to individuals that are also for sale. After reading your guide, we feel that this would help us so much should we decide to buy a vacation home in Punta Cana in the future.

My husband & I had been thinking very seriously of purchasing a vacation/retirement home in the Caribbean. Punta Cana came up in my internet searches, and looked very interesting, so we vacationed there in May 2010. We decided to take Maria's real estate assessment tour of the area, as we were totally unfamiliar with it, and we were very much pleased with our time spent with her. She picked us up at our resort, and really showed us not only great properties, but also the beach-town amenities, the beach accesses, shopping, etc., from food to furniture. We had lunch at a lovely beachside cafe, a favorite with the locals, and the food was better than at the resort. Thanks to Maria, who is just such a sweetheart, we now have a real feel and flavor of the area, and it is certainly at the top of our list. We're not ready to buy just yet, but when we are, Maria will be our agent of choice. This tour was more than worth the cost, and we would highly recommend it, if you want to see the real Bavaro, El Cortecito, Los Corales, and Punta Cana areas. Thanks again Maria for one of my favorite days of our vacation.
