TESTIMONIALS

"We are so lucky to have met Maria and Todd Williams of Reliable Realty DR. They come in once a month and check on our property. Maria and Todd have a cleaner who comes in, runs the taps, checks the air conditioning and humidity, and does a thorough clean; she makes sure everything is in good working order. Because of the tropical climate, the humidity alone can really do damage. These are important concerns. We dry-skinned Edmontonian’s sometimes don't realize the challenges of a tropical climate -- mold, mildew, bugs -- and so it's critical to either become informed, take lessons, or get help from people in the know. Todd and Maria are from the United States and understand that Canadians often have very different expectations. Our expectations are quite high, yet the Dominican is on island time, which is good in some respects. We realize the people there aren't ignoring us, they just have different timelines and priorities, yet Maria and Todd help with this concern when it comes to the seriousness needed when taking care of our second home in the Caribbean. Reliable Realty DR has many properties for sale, as well as short-, mid- and long-term rentals. But the best part is that they can properly manage the properties they sell too”. We too 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 usage. 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 own a beautiful condo at Arenas de Bavaro that suits us to a tee! Maria and Todd have kept it consistently rented since we purchased it and we felt they both kept us well informed at every turn in the road! We later decided to sell it, and Maria brought us a wonderful cash buyer in less than 6 weeks on the market! And everything went through just perfectly! ----> FEATURED BUYERS ON HGTV HOUSEHUNTERS INTERNATIONAL 2009 - FEATURED IN THE WINNIPEC FREE PRESS (Canada) and EDMONTON JOURNAL.

We met Maria and Todd at the peak of our frustration with Punta Cana real estate agents. We were searching for a rental management company and had one bad experience after another and decided it would be better to try it on our own. Todd was just starting out on his own which made us hesitant to work with him, but we decided to give it a try. Both Todd and Maria jumped right in, and we were able to get our rental up and running in no time. They gave us great suggestions and feedback which led to our unit being one of the best rentals in the area. They did such a great job that we had a hard time getting time at our own place if we did not block it out months in advance, and we could not even think about the peak seasons if we did not plan at least a year in advance. As the company grew, they were able to give us the same care and attention as day one. When we decided to sell, we listed our condo exclusively with Maria at Reliable Realty. We wanted to avoid the unethical deals that we have seen and heard of over the years, so we decided not to work with any other agents. We were in a hurry due to a business deal at home that we wanted to complete, but we knew it would be a smooth transition with Maria, so we took the risk of it not selling right away. Maria gave excellent feedback, and as soon as we followed up on her feedback, we had an offer, and the sale was completed. The buyers had purchased a unit from Maria before and had success with their rentals with Todd which ended up being a benefit to us. The key selling point was our great rental history so the package deal of working with both Todd and Maria was extremely valuable to us. The closing was quick, and we were at ease by using Reliable Realty’s referred attorney, Mario Vasquez. Reliable Realty provided us with more than just real estate and property management services. We were able to form a great friendship with Maria, Todd, and their Sales Support Assistant. We can't wait to get back for a visit and will only consider Reliable Realty for our vacation rental needs.

Long after the close of my home my insurance company cancelled my insurance because I forgot to send them photos. In just mentioning this to Marie, she took it upon herself to come out to my home to take these pictures and even sent them from her own computer to my insurance company so I could be reinstated. I consider Maria Williams not only my real estate agent, but my good friend.

Marie was extremely professional, helpful, detailed, and diligent in the sale of my home. I was out of state and Marie took care of every detail! She sold my home during a very slow market time. What I especially appreciated was Marie's honesty throughout the process. Everything from how long the sale would take to what the house should look like, to the best listing ad in the market. I feel so lucky to have stumbled across such an AWESOME AGENT! Highly recommended!

We were very satisfied with the time and attention that Maria spent with us, helping us to find just the right condo and impressed with her personalized attention and ability to answer the many questions we had. We have a new friend as well as an agent.

Maria maintained close contact during the entire sales process – we never felt alone. All aspects of the sale were handled by Maria, the communication, all the Open Houses, and even the closing was flawless. We would recommend her services to anyone needing a home purchase or sale.

Marie Williams did a really good job of making sure she understood what I was looking for. The great thing about Marie is that she was very patient with me and did not push me to purchase a home I was not interested in. She was also great about not just showing a couple of homes, but quite a few homes. Other agents I worked with in the past only showed me a couple of homes and if I didn't purchase, I felt like I was not important to them anymore. Thanks again Marie. I hope I can make more money to purchase another home with your help in the near future.

Maria, you definitely have what it takes to be successful at real estate. You’re smart, outgoing, have high energy, are a motivational leader; you’re ethical, honest, and a great problem solver... You’re PERFECT” for this career! When we decide to move, you will be the only realtor I call.

I always think about how great of a job Marie did as my realtor. I love my house! There haven't been any big surprises. There was a small leak under the sink that was covered by the home protection warranty (thanks Marie for talking me into getting that). It was fixed without any problem and only for the price of the co-pay. We should do dinner sometime! I hope you keep selling houses and making people happy. Take care and God bless.
