Client Testimonials

John Mcintosh was a complete professional. He made a major life experience like buying a home into a pleasant experience. He had our best interests as a top priority at all times. I would recommend John to anyone interested in buying a home.

Mark & Alyssa Polney

The speed at which you obtain results is one thing, but the manner in which you work is truly exceptional. Our property had been listed previously with two other separate offices and agents over one year. You called regularly and kept us informed, you gave us sound and objective guidance, and you established a positive working relationship with our tenants. Over the 3 months, you continued to amaze us with your professionalism, enthusiasm and excellent customer service.

Dave & Connie Zackary

Gary Brammer

John Mcintosh did a fantastic job by finding a buyer, and ensuring a rapid sale under difficult circumstances. The home was part of an estate and involved the probate court and 21 heirs. I was located hundreds of miles away but he coordinated with me daily and allowed me to keep a step ahead of all the legal issues surrounding the sale. Should I ever need to work with real estate in the Clearwater area again, my first call would be to John.
