“EXCELLENT RATING in every category!”

J Hon, Florence, IN –

“Can’t get no better than Lee! Always phoned back. Guided us through the steps of home purchase. Good communicator. Dressed better than most Realtors. Looked and acted professional. EXCELLENT RATING in every category!”

– J & R Lindner, Seminole, FL –

‘While Lee already came highly recommended by a common friend, he actually managed to exceed my expectations. The transaction he assisted with, was not a standard one. I was a Canadian on a budget, looking to buy real estate in Florida. The unit I ended up purchasing was an REO, with some strings attached. He had solutions when we got stuck in the process, due to seller’s unwillingness to cooperate. He was always responsive (email and phone), making the Canada/Florida distance look seamless.
He used technology (electronic signature) to complete the transaction, which made it very easy and convenient to get the paperwork done.

To summarize my experience with Lee in a few words, he was knowledgeable, responsive, honest, transparent, supportive, and perseverant.

I highly recommend him and will definitely use Lee again, if I decide to purchase another property in Florida.’

– L. Lazar, Montreal, Canada –

My experience with Lee Costache has been nothing but positive. He originally helped me find and purchase my condo in 2005. He made the home buying process smooth and easy. When the time came to sell my condo this year I called Lee and he quickly began the process. I could not be happier with Lee and the work he did for me. He is organized, efficient, prompt and the best at what he does. The process of selling my home went faster than I could have ever anticipated. It was truly stress free. I would recommend Lee Costache without reservation to anyone.

– S. Perez, Palm Harbor, FL –

I purchased two condos in St. Petersburg recently. Lee was my realtor, and I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and professional person to assist me with the process. Lee is amazing, and does a thorough and meticulous job. I would eagerly recommend him, and I am confident he will impress whoever he is working for.

– P Dimmig, St. Petersburg, FL –

My husband and I have always dreamt of becoming true snowbirds from Canada with a place in Florida of our own. Being from another country, Costache made it effortless for us to find and buy a place. He was incredibly personable, trustworthy and patient!! He made our dream a reality and we cannot thank him enough. We absolutely recommend his services to anyone needing a true real estate professional!

– Mr. & Mrs. Balice, ON, Canada –

Lee is the consummate professional. He keeps you informed of all the steps to be followed in both listing a property and selling. We have used his services twice, and in both instances found him to be extremely reliable and effective. We are Canadians who have been buying and selling real estate in Florida for a few years now. To have a trusted partner, is essential in these long-distance transactions. I cannot think anyone could have been a better Realtor for us than Lee.

– Mr & Mrs Cole, ON, Canada –

We wanted to buy a house in Florida but the major hurdle has been that we do not live in Florida. Without his help probably we would not have succeeded to acquire the house we wanted. Lee was always prompt in his feedback, he sent us photos, documents and videos, that helped a lot in making timely decisions for each property of interest. As we continued through this process we gained more confidence in his support and his ability to rapidly identify trouble spots or potential issues. We have appreciated a lot his patience and support during the whole search period. Lee has a thorough knowledge of the house buying/selling process as he is also teaching real estate courses. We have used during the whole period of searching his web site that has numerous and very effective search capabilities: The database is extremely well updated and in perfect sync with the official Realtor web site. We highly recommend his site.

Lee served as President of Winding Creek Cono Association for the 2010-2011. He guided us in managing the Association consisting of twenty one buildings with 194 Units plus common elements. He guided us in Budget process for the year and many contract negotiations plus all the elements associated in operation an association as large as this. Lee was and is an excellent leader and demonstrated his knowledge in real estate and condo operations. In my opinion he was one of the best Association Presidents we have ever had and we were well served by his business skills. Having been a Postal Supervisor and a Postmaster I feel I can recognize his skills and work ethics Lee has.I would not hesitate to recommend him in any capacity.

– Mr. Hayden – Clearwater, FL

Performance was overall exemplary. Our Realtor was a professional of the highest caliber. Out of all my experiences with other local Realtors, Lee was the best by far.

– Pat Coyne, Clearwater, FL –

I am confident our future business will be just as satisfactory as this experience. Lee showed me how an ideal professional Realtor can eliminate all the stress and pain of a real estate transaction. Lee’s calm and through manner guaranteed a smooth transaction.

– Ms. Heyen, Seminole, FL –

Thanks Lee. Both my wife and I are thoroughly pleased with the service we received from you. Being an out of state customer, I especially appreciated the level of communication that we maintained with you. There is really no way that I can see to improve the services Lee offers.

– Mr. & Mrs, Cole, ON, Canada –

We were surprised with the professional manner and the friendliness we received throughout our business with Lee.

I have purchased several homes in my lifetime. Since I began a relation with Lee, I have truly enjoyed purchasing my home. Lee was with me every step of the way. His professionalism is outstanding. he even located a beautiful short term rental until he can locate our dream home. Thank you, Lee!

– John J. Popowicz, Tarpon Springs FL –

Rated excellent by this seller in every REALTOR ranking category!

– Cheryl Carlin, Seminole FL –

Extremely professional, inspired confidence and made the whole transaction very pleasant.

– Colette Birnbaum, Tresure Island FL –

In a very depressed Florida housing market, Lee Costache was able to sell my condo to my complete satisfaction and to the best of my knowledge to the complete satisfaction of the buyer. Even after closing on the condo, Lee continued with his assistance providing necessary information to my accountant, which was certainly not within the scope of his responsibility to me after the completed sale. It has been a pleasure working with such a professional salesman and his staff.’

– Connie O’ Connor, Seminole FL –

Thank you so much for your help and friendship over the past year. You were great and I’ll be sure to recommend you to everyone I know!

– Josh & Hiromi Beckwith, Clearwater, FL –

Working with Lee was a very great experience. We feel we have known you forever.

– Anna & Gordon Render –

I just wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful assistance given to me by your Realtor, Lee Alexander Costache. Lee spent so much time helping me understand all the things that are involved in purchasing a home. I never had anyone spend so much time with me or explain things to me in a way that I truly understand. Lee was patient with me and he never pushed me.

-M. Rotolo-

I found Mr Costache to be extremely thorough and service oriented. Though he was not my agent, I never before met a person so helpful and honest. I will recommend him to people I know if they want to sell or buy a home.

– A. Brusini –

Mr. Costache is one of the few Realtors who understands the complexities of cooperative property sales. This knowledge enables him to handle the plethora of paper involved in these sales with ease.

– Norah Rockett –

Purchasing a new home, especially for the first time can be very scary, but you helped me thru the process and answered all my questions to help me make the right decision. I also liked the e-mails you send with new properties to keep me constantly aware of what was on the market, even if we weren’t on the road, so I could still shop @ home.

– Adissa Perez –

My first experience as a buyer with this company was very positive. Would recommend to anyone. I would always use this Realtor and staff again. Thank you!

-A. Rivera-

Everything was done perfect and in a professional manner. I felt so comfortable with Lee Costache as my agent. I trusted him to look out for my interests, which he did in an excellent manner. I had no worries to think about. Lee was knowledgeable regarding the contract and real estate laws of Florida. I now consider Lee as one of my close friends. Making this purchase long distance (from Chicago) Lee was able to explain each step in the buying process. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee to my family and close friends.

If you’re looking to purchase or sell property in Florida, you would be wise to use Lee Costachey. I currently reside in Chicago and in the last nine months I have purchased two condos in Clearwater thru Lee. Lee provided me with the best services anyone could ask for. He found, negotiated and closed both properties for me and my wife. I was very surprised when I was notified I would not have to fly down to Clearwater to attend the closing for either property that he would handle the process. Lee and his staff are the most knowledgeable, meticulously organized and professional real estate agents I’ve ever used. They truly are a one-stop shop for purchasing or selling in Florida. I trust Lee completely and would do business with him again without giving it a second thought. I have been purchasing and selling real estate since I was 18 years old and have never had an agent handle everything such as Lee has. Thank you to Lee for making my family’s dream of owning a vacation home in Florida a reality.’

– V Cesena, Chicago, IL –

I rated Lee’s service as excellent in all areas including: his ability to find information, his consulting approach, ability to locate my condo, the explanation of contract and terms, negotiating the contract, on time appointments, returned phone calls promptly. I would use Lee Costache to locate another condo for myself. Lee was very organized and helpful. I would recommend Lees services to all my friends.

– D Stien –

I have had three closings with Lee acting as my Realtor and plan on more. Each task and issue of buying and selling my real estate was acted upon by him in a professional, timely and efficient manner. I was never concerned or uninformed of what was going on and when it came time for the closing I knew that nothing was left to be done. With constant updates and reminders the closings were smooth and amenable. Proving that old fashion values of honesty and integrity combined with the latest computer skills makes him the Realtor I want on my side.
