We have bought 2 homes (ours and son's) and sold son's old house this year 2018. Both purchases were executed perfectly with our realtor Mitch staying on top of all details in a timely manner. In selling our son's house, we got more than I thought we would and had contracts within just a few days. Our previous realtor was not nearly as diligent. Communications were constant.

We were a bit nervous about selling our home of 30 years. Halley Matuszczak, from Aparo-Griffin Properties, eased our concerns by walking us through the process. After a series of questions and a professional photographers photos, Halley had such a listing that we got our first offer within 24 hours of the listing being posted from a person who had not even seen our home; They had only seen the listing and the photos. That person would not be in town for a week to see the house. But that was not soon enough because we had an accepted offer in only 4 days of listing the property. Now that's service!

That is why Aparo Griffin Properties since 2012 has received the Readers Choice Award for BEST Real Estate Company and Kathy has received the award for BEST Broker.

Kathy was very professional yet took the time to lay out the strategy to sell our house in such a way that a non real estate professional could understand. She has the experience to solve the inevitable unexpected issues that pop up and definitely had a good feel for the fast changing market value of our house. We would highly recommend her company.

Response from Aparo Griffin Properties
[Member Name Removed] Kathy has personally taught agents in the Central Florida area for 15+ years...that "teaching" approach is how she presents the strategy to sell to clients and for that reason it's EASY to understand. Solving problems is a given and comes naturally because of all the experience...Your correct in that the market is FAST changing...In face early 2018 prices were at a peak and values increasing .75% per month..now in October the market is slowing down with increases of about .25% per month. But staying on TOP of the market is what makes a GREAT AGENT...Leave that to us! Thank you again for your business and we look forward to seeing you at our Annual Holiday Customer Appreciation Party in December. Invites will be in the mail shorty it's to show our appreciation to all of our past clients!

Kathy is amazing! She's extremely knowledgeable because of her many years in the field, and she's unreservedly generous with her knowledge. As an agent for a buyer, she's genuinely interested in matching the customer with the best house for them, not just in making a sale. A few years ago she spent many hours showing me houses and I ended up not purchasing; she did not complain even once, and gave me genuine good wishes on the other housing solution I found. This time she represented me in the purchase of an as-is property and gave me great advice about what to look for, as well as stellar follow-up throughout the purchase process. Kathy's attitude is positive and upbeat and she listens to what her client needs and wants. I also value the diversity of the staff she hires and the team spirit she nurtures among them. I know Kathy's work well now, and she has become my go-to realtor!

[Member Name Removed] So happy that we finally found you the PERFECT home. So many clients come back year after year. Just this week a gentleman flew in that we spoke to 10 years ago...he never purchased 10 years ago but was "impressed" with our service and knowledge and he kept our number and returned to "buy" something now. It warms our heart to know we made an impression on someone that they would remember us 10 years later and believe it or not the contact 10 years ago was just a phone call. Our staff has a ton of diversity that is another thing we are very proud of. We have the following: German, Italian, Spanish, Hindu, Creole, Korean and French these languages are ALL FLUENT in our office from various agents and assistants. Best of all WE WORK AS A TEAM!!! No matter who walks thru our door they are "taken" care of...always offered a COLD drink and a Warm Smile...that is how we do business. Can't wait to see when your done with the rehab...the house you purchased is a perfect fit for what you wanted...a place to retire and enjoy life. That is what it's about!!

Excellent. Both dealings significantly exceeded expectations, which is often rare in real estate transactions. Found my home that met all my goals in the wekiva area at a cost under market value...later sold a rental property at a price above my initial goals. Great customer service and responsiveness throughout. Would hire again in a second.

Kathy and her team at Aparo Griffin Properties went above and beyond to facilitate the terms of our offer. Coordinated price estimates to make repairs, helped our process go so smooth. Kathy even called us while she was on vacation to ensure we were prepared to close and so our move was on time as scheduled. In addition she put us in the right hands to help us get our property ready for move-in condition and answered any questions we had even after closing. I know we can count on Kathy and Team at Aparo Griffin Properties with a special shout out to her Assistants ;-). I would definitely refer her to anyone seeking a home. Don't hesitate, this Broker is hands on and her team is so courteous and pleasant to work with. Know this, we were her priority and it showed! Thank you. Mr and Mrs G.

Kathy Aparo Griffin helped me with the purchase and after the purchase helped me find people to paint and remodel parts of the house. She has always been helpful over the years. She still invites me to her Christmas party and I go if I am in town. She is the busiest realtor I have ever seen. She is extremely knowledgeable about real estate. She is also very personable and always gets back to me. I have discussed selling a house in 2016 and am going to get with the Aparo Griffin realtors to look at thehouse to see what I can do to make it ready for the sale. Over the years, Kathy has kept me apprised of the value my property. I cannot imagine having a better realtor.

We were looking to purchase a residential rental property. Bee Powell, an agent with Aparo Griffin Properties, met us for lunch, found out our objectives. She is very personable, hard working, thorough. She found us a multi-unit residential property, in the location and price range we wanted. She identified this property early in the marketing cycle and helped us get an appropriate offer in. When the offer was accepted, she led us through the process of a contract, inspections, and on to closing. We have worked with Bee before and will definitely be asking her to help us identify and secure additional property.
Description of Work: Identified home, assisted in making offers, walked us through the process, helped us close the deal.

Kathy did a wonderful job assisting my family in locating a home. She was knowledgeable and willing to work with our difficult schedule as we were from out of town. The technology she used helped pinpoint homes that we were interested and saved us time from driving around needlessly in the car. Her support team was also wonderful working through the closing process and keeping us informed.
