Jennifer, our realtor, was a delight to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and guided us as if we were family on finding our perfect forever home in Waterford.  Her expertise made our adventure a fun and memorable experience.  We can’t say enough positive things about Jennifer. We are very grateful for having her as our realtor.

My wife Lynn and I recently purchased a property in Punta Gorda.  We worked with Jennifer Calenda and her team (Makala and Brian) and we have nothing but praise for them.  We are from Illinois and chose to work with Jennifer because of all the positive experiences we read about when we were doing our research on realtors.  We felt Jennifer's experience and results would make her an excellent choice for us and we were correct.  Correspondence was very helpful before we came to Florida, including some personal video of a property Makala did for us to convince us an immediate trip to Florida would be beneficial.  During our initial meeting, Jennifer did not concentrate on selling us a property but instead informed us of the layout, background and history of the communities.  To her credit, Jennifer was selling the community vs just concentrating on selling the property.  Jennifer understood our tastes and the types of homes we were interested in seeing which helped us make the most of our time during the two-day process. Both Makala and Jennifer spent a lot of time with us on two different days to help us look at a lot of properties.  They were very prepared with printed materials and were informative of the areas and properties we chose to see.  Jennifer was very helpful through each step of the offer, acceptance, inspection and closing periods.  We had a lot of questions/concerns she helped us get through until we were comfortable and stayed in contact throughout.  Even though we were purchasing from afar, we felt very informed and Jennifer and her team were there for us.  Brian was always there for questions during the inspection and closing process and eased our minds on many occasions going above and beyond what would be expected. Most important to us is the fact that Jennifer and her team are still there for us.  They are still as helpful and welcome any questions we may have about the house, area or local support.  We were not sold a property and then quickly forgotten.  We know Jennifer, Makala and Brian will continue to be supportive.  We are happy customers who look forward to enjoying a glass of wine or drink with our new friends when we complete our move in the very near future!

Yes, You must choose Jennifer if you want to sell your home. From the first day we set down with her she was honest and straightforward dealing with us. She knows the local market very well. Jennifer gave us excellent suggestions in the preparations needed and how to stage our home for a  successful sale. She was available for questions whenever needed. Jennifer has a fantastic team of professionals working with her, Caroll, Makala and Brian. There were small items that the inspection indicated needed to be repaired. Brian was invaluable in helping to find repairmen to get all completed in a timely manner. Jennifer and her Team made selling our home a seamless process. We highly recommend Jennifer Calenda

Excellent knowledge of the values of homes in this area. Shares ideas of preparing home for inspection by prospective buyers. Her staff does a great behind the scenes working to make sure everything goes smooth. We were at the settlement about 2 months or so after listing our home for sale.

This is the eighth time over the years I’ve worked with a realtor, and I must say that working with Jennifer was the most enjoyable of all. She provided valuable advice and made my interests a priority. Her team took over after the Purchase Agreement was signed and coordinated all aspects of going to settlement. Brian Lutz, the closing coordinator, arranged for inspections, contacted contractors for quotes and did the final walkthrough before closing. At first, I took their advice with a grain of salt expecting the usual sales hype, but I found that they were the real deal actually looking out for my best interests. I ended up using their recommendations for home insurance, flood insurance, roof repairs, and AC service. I’d recommend Jennifer and her team wholeheartedly!

My fiancée, James, and I cannot say enough about the experience we had working with our realtor, Jennifer Calenda. It was positive from beginning to end. A wonderful property that fits perfectly with what Jim and I wanted. We flew in for just three days to see a different house within the Burnt Store Marina development. That particular house was not going to be our forever home. As we drove around, we found the house we had seen online and with very short notice, half an hour from placing the call to Jennifer to her showing us the property, we called on her to show us the house we wound up purchasing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the house, the neighborhood, HOA’s, and any particular questions we had. Her knowledge of real estate and how it works really impressed us. Her confidence and expertise appealed to us as we knew we were dealing with an expert and not a fly by night realtor. Her communication with us was constant and extremely clear. Jennifer’s team including Brian Lutz were definitely the wheel that kept everything going on time and on track. Brian made this whole tedious buying experience a positive and seamless process that made us go from a buyer to a very happy and satisfied homeowner in the state of Florida. We highly recommend Jennifer Calenda and her team to anyone considering purchasing in Florida. 

 Jennifer is the most knowledgeable and the most professional realtor I have ever worked with. With her advice, our condo was sold for full price cash offer within 12 hours. She has always been available for advice. I would never use any other realtor in Southwest Florida.

She was exceptional. She provided accurate information designed to assist us in making an optimal decision. She did not push - but she was very prompt in answering inquiries and in helping us. She was an excellent realtor who provided us with a tremendous amount of help. I'd refer her to my family & friends.

Jennifer was great. We were in a different state and she made it easy to sell our property long distance. She also kept us informed about everything that was going on. Highly recommend Jennifer.
