Sergio Contreras - HomeTerra Real Estate

Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Companies, Home inspection

About us

Real Estate is probably the biggest investment we make in our lifetime. Yet, the ugly truth is that it's not that difficult to obtain this license. With the drastic decline in home values, now more then ever, it's important to have a reputable company behind you. If you view the purchase & sale of real estate as a casual shopping experience, then by all means, select someone you know that has "their license." If on the other hand, you recognize a real estate transaction has a lot of money at stake, and may be the most important complex transaction in your financial lifetime. You WILL value the expertise of HomeTerra Real Estate Services. We are not going to brag about the millions of dollars in real estate we have sold, or on the achievements we have received. We are not going bore you with the typical marketing clichés or list all the reasons why we are so great. Why? Because all that matters is what HomeTerra can do for YOU today, not what we did for somebody else yesterday. Our reputation is sustained by referrals from clients who have benefited from our service & are excited to share their experience with family & friends. We will not list pseudo testimonials because unlike many, we refuse to deceive or impress to draw in clients. Our track record speaks for itself. Should you be looking for actual legitimate references, feel free to contact some of our past clients. Fax: (954) 888-1356

Sergio was fantastic from the start of the process to the end. He really went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and informed about the entire process and all of our options. He even provided his own expert advice to keep things moving forward and transparent.

Sergio Contreras is a knowledgeable and skilled realtor that supported us during the entire process, provided guidance, and constantly followed up with all parties involved to ensure that the deadlines were successfully achieved. Throughout the process, Sergio was like a close friend with our best interest in mind. He helped us find the perfect home. Because of Sergio’s skills, the final negotiated price was much lower than we expected. We highly recommend Sergio to anyone seeking a professional and friendly realtor.

It was amazing! Sergio from HomeTerra made the process so easy and incredibly pleasant. I hadn't moved houses in over 20 years so I felt as if I was learning the process all over again. I had many questions and concerns, Sergio got me the answers right away and we signed our lease right away. I would definitely recommend his services and I will call him when my lease expires and I'm ready to buy a new house.

My parents and I saw a house we liked for sale and Sergio Contreras was the listing Agent.. We have had the experience of contacting a listing Agent or Realtor to ask to see a house since we didn't have a Realtor at the time and Sergio was the first to happily agree and didn't hesitate to show us the house. In less than an hour he met us at the house and not only was Sergio very kind and patient, he was very knowledgeable about the whole aspects of purchasing a home. He gave us great advice and helped us in making decisions and offering several options. We felt very comfortable working with him and admired his calm, no pressure no stress but assertive manners. His recommendations for example for Mortgage Lenders, Inspectors etc were just as impressive and we particularly appreciated him always affording us choices. We were very comfortable with Sergio to the point where we sometimes may have invaded his space after hours but he was always accommodating and gracious. Thank you Sergio Contreras, we hope to work with you again in the very near future; meanwhile continue being the excellent professional that you are. You definitely should be elevated into the echelons of the celebrity world so you could be well and fairly compensated for your time and efforts. Blessings!!!

Sergio did a magnificent job selling our house. He guided us in the whole process. He was always available when we need him. The sale of a house that you had live in it for 18 years could be very difficult. Sergio made the process so easy and smooth. We are grateful to had the opportunity to work with him to the end. He hold our hands and we felt like he was family.

Serendipity. I came across Sergio on accident as he was a listing agent on a property I was inquiring about. After a lengthy and personable conversation, I grew respecting of his honesty and could tell that he genuinely cared, which is not a quality I have ever come across in a realtor - I knew I needed to hold on to his contact. Sure enough, I was right. 40 homes later, Sergio patiently helped my family find our dream home and has become a part of the family in the process. I can't imagine having gone through the process without him. If you're looking for someone to guide you through your home buying process, your search is over.

When it came to choosing a house Sergio was calm and patient. When we were ready to give up and settle, Sergio insisted that we keep our heads up and keep looking, assuring us that our dream home was out there. He quickly adapted to our taste and expectations-- between this and his calm and collected approach, Sergio made us feel like we were shopping with another family member, rather than a relator. Thanks to Sergio, closing on our new home couldn't have been quicker or simpler. From negotiation to gathering documents to sense of urgency and responsiveness, Sergio surpassed our expectations across the board. I can't imagine having anyone else by our side throughout such a stressful, yet exciting time.

I was so happy with Sergio Contreras of HomeTerra Real Estate that I knew to call him up right away when I decided to sell again. He told me he understood my situation and was going to do his best to find a buyer that would pay above asking price. He simply asked me to be patient. He began by helping me stage my home to make sure the photographs looked gorgeous, and they most definitely did! Due to Covid-19 he told me he wanted to avoid having prospective buyers constantly going in and out of my house every day and suggested it may be best to get it over with in one day. His plan was to have the showings at an Open House and boy did it work! Over 60 people showed up. Everyone was required to have a mask on and only 3 people at a time were allowed to enter the house. It felt safe and went very smoothly. We had almost 20 offers and he negotiated terms that really made my life easier! Sergio was able to find a buyer that paid $21,000 over asking price and allowed me to stay in my home until I found a home of my own as well. I can not tell you enough how much peace of mind it gave me. Thank you so much Sergio! He has become like another son to me and is always there whenever I need him. He is ALWAYS available and can easily be reached by phone. If you are looking to sell your home, I strongly suggest you give him a call. I can almost guarantee he will answer.

Sergio is THE ONLY broker/realtor I will ever use. He spent months helping my family and I find our perfect dream home. Sergio helped us view over 40 homes and never once gave up! He knew the right house was out there and was relentless is making sure we found it. He was sharp shooter during closing and got us an excellent deal! I would urge anyone in the home buying process to get in touch with Sergio if they are looking for a genuinely amazing experience!

Over the lifetime of my home Sergio was the one I counted on to handle the purchase of it, years later helped me transition it to a rental property while vetting the potential renters and eventually sold it for a higher price than I had hoped for. In the end he very literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars and I would happily use his services again in the future.

Excellent. It was great to work with him again. He I toalla helped us finding a place to rent. Now he helped us finding a home to buy. Sergio is very patient and helped us to resolve all our questions. In addition, he did a extensive search that helped us out tremendously to find a home we would like to buy. In addition, he has helped us out with paperwork and has helped us to understand details of the contract while buying. Excellent overall service.

I am ecstatic to provide a review of my realtor Sergio Contreras with “Home Terra Real Estate Services” regarding the purchase of our town-home in Boca Raton, FL. Sergio, was very helpful throughout the entire process! He was very quick to show me town-homes/ houses that interested me. He was not at pushy or trying to rush me into a purchase. Being that I am a first time buyer and just a couple of months living in FL, Sergio took the time to show me the different neighborhoods, and to help educate me on the process so that I really understood what is all entailed with ownership of a property. He always answered my many calls or texts, and was very knowledgeable about South Florida! Besides that, despite I was going through a rough moment in my life, he had the patience to understand me and go along with me the whole purchase process. I would highly recommend Sergio for any of your real estate needs!! He is amazing!!

Sergio was outstanding. He assisted me with the purchase of my house in Delray and he assisted me in selling my home in Lauderhill. Sergio made things very easy for me. He was very transparent and great at communicating. Sergio always followed up with me to keep updated on how things progressed. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends, family or co-workers.

We spoke to and dealt with a couple of realtors, but we were very fortunate to have met Sergio while were out just looking at houses. He was such a pleasure working with and was not overbearing like some realtors get to push you into a sale. He was extremely patient working with me us, my wife gets to be very particular and I think we found a great home for us. Thanks to Sergio we are closing in a couple of days and we are looking forward to this next stage in our life. Thank goodness we found Sergio, what great person to work with.

Prior to our meeting with Sergio we thought selling our investment property would not be an easy task. But finding Sergio was like a miracle and blessing for us as he is the most detail oriented Real Estate Agent that anyone can find. He is incredibly professional and a very hard-working man. Sergio met with us and explained the Real Estate process in detail. He prepped us on what to expect and some of the common obstacles that could arise in a typical Real Estate transaction. He went over his game plan, took some wonderful photos, and put the property for sale. Within 10 days we received multiple offers on the home. Sergio did an unbelievable and amazing job negotiating the sale of our house by finalizing a Full Price offer for us! He truly showed us he has all the experience and knowledge in how to buy and sell properties. As it turns out, two of the possible obstacles Sergio previously explained to us (Appraisal & Inspection) popped up; but we were prepared. Unfortunately for us, the Appraisal and Home Inspection became items that were not in our favor. However, he always helped us put things into perspective and said he would continue to work on getting us the very best deal possible. We told Sergio the number we still had in mind while thinking to ourselves that it may not be realistic. To our surprise, Sergio negotiated an unbelievable deal for us which not only was MORE than what we told him we would accept, but also MORE than the Appraised Value of the property! He truly made the impossible possible!!! Throughout the transaction he was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had no matter how small they were. He has very high integrity and we will always be very grateful for everything he did for us. You can’t find a better and true professional in the real estate business than Sergio. I am a veteran, I know what it takes to be part of a great team. Sergio can be a member and part of my team any day. Max P.

I was in the process of looking for a new home and selling mine and I had a realtor at that time that was not very helpful and I felt like I had to do my one legwork. Pure luck I called to see a house in Plantation Florida and the realtor to show me the house was Sergio Contreras. From the beginning I know he was the realtor I wanted to work with. After working and talking to many other realtors I really appreciated everything about him. Patient, honesty, professional,respectful helpful and caring!! I definitely was not an easy case, because I was looking for something special, and he went above and beyond. He never made me feel like a bother no matter how many times I called or how many questions I had. He took his time to fully and clearly explain everything I wanted to know. Answered his phone 99% of the time or called me back within minutes. He showed me houses far away without hesitation unlike other realtors that did not want to go out of ther way. I am closing on my house tomorrow because he worked tirelessly to find me the perfect house. I can not say enough nice things about him and highly recommend him. Do yourself a favor and pick the best realtor in South Florida Sergio Contreras

I am normally the type of person that takes their time in making a decision. I have actually been accused of having "analysis paralysis"...LOL. However after meeting with a few agents, I decided to hire Sergio right on the spot at our meeting. I was very impressed with his responsiveness and his sincere honesty. He arrived punctual and with a lot of excitement and genuinely seemed interested where I was coming from. We talked for a while even before getting to business. I told Sergio my goals in selling my home and he listened attentively. He meticulously explain the home valuation process and we came up with a strategy. He listed the property with amazing photos and also prepared for an Open House he was planning to have. As it turns out, there was no need to have the Open House because we accepted a great offer. (offer more than I was willing to take) He was very attentive and in constant communication throughout the whole process. He made sure everything went smoooooth. Thanks Sergio! BTW...he always answers is his phone which was very convenient for me.

Sergio was incredibly professional, hardworking, patient and detail oriented throughout the entire process of selling our home. He kept everyone at the table and negotiated an excellent price in spite of numerous obstacles such as hurricane damage, an uncooperative HOA and an appraisal that was lower than the contracted sale price. Sergio also listened carefully to what we had to say and worked diligently on our behalf throughout the entire process. Sergio's response time was always prompt and he meticulously attended to every step in the process with care and forethought. He was also an absolute pleasure to work with. He often helped us to put things into perspective and he guided us to see the way the process works. He had a strategy from the beginning that he shared with us, but he was also flexible and able to adjust that strategy when required. We highly recommend Sergio Contreras without reservation. He has high integrity, is a true professional and a pleasure to work with! Thank you Sergio!

EXCELLENT I don't have words for Sergio my experience with him is an awesome experience He sold my property in less than 7 weeks just because he had a plan how and where to market and top of that he answer his phone no matter how busy he is . He is very organize and he knows what he doing he has all legal knowledge and experience in selling and buying property to protect his client, He will fight for your last dollar I will say just trust his judgment he will guide you in a right direction . He has fire in his belly just not to his job but do it right. Sergio is a full time realtor not a part time realtor. from my experience with him is not too many like him out there. so think before you hire a realtor Sergio is the five star professional realtor.
