John E Neal II

  • John listed and sold my home

      - John E. Neal's knowledge of real estate is immense. He understands the process from start to finish on both the selling/buying side and the financial side. John was easy to work with and respected our wishes when it came to viewing homes. He acted as an amazing buffer between other incompetent agents and incompetent financial institutions. John will be HIGHLY recommended to all my friends and family for real estate or brokerage needs. He is a true professional.

    • John helped me buy a home

        - Great from start to finish!

      • John helped me buy a home

          - From the beginning John was great. He was very knowledgeable and informative. Was always available to answer any and all questions. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

        • John was recommended to us by close friends. When I thought home buying was not an option for me, Johnmade it possible! He was patient, kind and professional. He helped me w/ the financial aspect and the realtoraspect of purchasing my first place. He is very attentive on texting/phoning back right away and was able toanswer all of my questions. I had used a previous realtor and financial service for several months prior, whichleft me frustrated and completely deflated, throughout the process. Any obstacle that came up, John wasquick to identify and fix it and/or offer me advice. The whole process moved rather quickly (right around 3weeks); however, he guided me throughout the process and was able to close before the end of the year. Iwould definitely recommend him to assist ANYONE in buying a property.

        • John helped us get through what Id call the worst home buying experience of our lives! And this was of NOfault of Johns. He worked tirelessly to make sure our dream home wasnt taken right out from under us. Hegave us options we we thought all was lost, but when we found hope again he was right there to help us dowhat WE wanted where other agents most likely would have dropped it all because is was such a hard deal!John gave us the information of the laws and how we could keep fighting for our dream home. And with hishelp (and some Christmas magic!) we were finally able to close on our home on December 11th 2019!If you want a fighter in your corner, Johns your guy!

          - Roger Robinson - Mortgage Professional
        • HE DID IT!!We were turned down by other lenders for a VA loan and lost hope. I saw John commenting on Facebook so on a whim I messaged him, and a few months later, we closed on our house! He was responsive, knowledgeable and always answered my questions/explained things to me.

          - Nicole Farone, Plant City, FL
        • John was amazing throughout the entire process! He was upfront about everything we needed to do in order to secure a home and truly had our best interest in mind. Regardless of the time of day, John was there to answer any questions we had. If we ever decide to purchase again, we will definitely use John!

          - Amanda Kulkin, Plant City, FL
        • John and his team really helped make this long-distance purchase happen. we would not hesitate to usethem again and refer him to friends and family.

          - Carol Kennedy, Venice, FL
        • John was great to work with. From start to finish the whole process was smooth and John communicated withus every step of the way.

          - Scott Kennedy, Venice Fl.
        • Our Broker made himself available as often as possible to accommodate our concerns. Everything wentexceptionally well. John set our expectations to what was needed to close on our house with minimal stress.

        • We had contacted Veteran's United and started their process of a 'minimum credit score' -- only to be runaround with no answers and no moving forward. As expecting parents, we were on a time crunch to find ahome. I happened to see John's comment on a Veterans United thread, and, fed up with going nowhere,contacted him with some questions. It just so happened he was located in our area!He got back to us same day, and had us preapproved-- something we had been waiting for Veterans Unitedto do for three weeks! John was definitely our broker from there!John was happy to answer any and all questions-- as first time home buyers, we had so many! John nevermade is feel like we were a bother, and walked us through every aspect with his extensive real estate andhome buying knowledge!As I stated previously, we can't say enough about how much John helped us through a process than can beso stressful--he explained things with ease and helped us feel comfortable about each step in the process-weare so thankful for his patience and understanding through the entire procedure.We really can't say how thankful we are to John for taking a situation that seemed hopeless for us to buy ahome and turning it around. He explained the VA process step by step, brought us to so many homes untilwe found 'the one' -- and then he did everything within his power and closed us in 17 days! No detail wasoverlooked and he was there for each and every question or situation.As I write this I am sitting in our beautiful new home, so grateful that John got us through the home buyingprocess! Thank you John!!

        • I trusted John to get it done and not only did he get it done but he got it done in less then 30 days with a 3.99 fixed rate with no down payment. After receiving a notice we had 60 days to get out, the company was selling all their properties, panic mode set in. How were we gonna find a place and how would we pack a family of 6 in 60 days?? We always said we wished we could buy the house we rented and actually inquired about doingso last year but were told they weren't interested in selling. This year was obviously a different situation andafter looking at several other properties, we inquired about buying this house. John E Neal II took a greatdeal of stress out of the process. From start to the very final minutes of the closing john was available at alltimes even for the most ridiculous questions like why can't my computer illiterate self get this docusign towork on a friday night at 9pm. From the beginning he said dont worry, I'll take care of you. I know yoursituation. I'll take care of you. We are like most people who aren't swimming in money and live on a tightbudget. John took care of us and I couldn't be happier that we can now call this house our home. If you oranyone you know are looking to purchase a home or are thrown into an unexpected situation are in need of amortgage, john is your guy!! Thanks again for everything.

        • John worked with my other agent and did an awesome job in negotiating my deal. The house had elevated radon levels and John got the seller to cover all the tests and repairs, so it didn't cost me any more money. His experience is definitely what someone wants when buying or selling a house!
