T. ROSENBERG

They listen to the client, they deliver, they fight for your money all the way, they respond to every question you have, they are all the way with you and working for you through the entire process, not only as realtors, but with everything that comes afterwards. They don't leave you alone and when you close you think you lost them, NOPE, instead you gain new friends!!!!! my highest respects to Realty Plus.

J. CORRALES

I'm writing to give Marie from Ampersand my highest recommendation; she possesses all of the attributes necessary to be an excellent broker. She knows her market extremely well, she is diligent, responsive and yet very patient with her clients. Marie is both very professional and personable, she clearly takes pride in doing a good job. Marie was a great help. I was very happy in choosing to work with her.

B. PERERA

I had the privilege of working with Marie from Ampersand as my realtor when looking to purchase a home in Miami. Marie’s knowledge about real estate is multifaceted and she is most certainly able to do more than the average agent. I appreciated her ability to advise me post home inspection, and when a situation took place with financing, she was there to help and support me in every way possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marie Buendia to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home, I will as well seek her service in any of my future real estate transactions.
