Highly professional, knowledgeable, capable, prompt, ethical, courteous and willing to go the extra mile for their clients - Donna and Phil Gilles are all these things and more. We had the happy experience of working with them on both the purchase and sale of a home and were highly impressed. 

When we bought our Bokeelia home, Donna and Phil were a tremendous help during contract negotiations. When we reached an agreement, they followed-through on details and provided guidance on procuring insurance, utility connections, service providers and even where to eat, shop and play on Pine Island. 

When we became sellers, Phil and Donna's knowledge of local market conditions were key to arriving at an appropriate listing price and timing price adjustments in a difficult market. They provided comprehensive updates on buyer interest, promptly advised when offers were received and helped us maximize the price we obtained. After going under contract, they were there to assist with the set up of escrow, home inspections, and completion of pre-closing requirements. And, when the worst occurred and our home was damaged mere days before transfer, Phil and Donna pulled off nothing short of a miracle. With us out of town, they alerted contractors, got needed repairs underway, kept us apprised of progress, and followed through with everyone to save our deal and close on time. Donna and Phil have our highest recommendation. You won't find better real estate professionals anywhere!

Where do we start our thank you for everything you have both done for us during our home search and ultimate purchase? Being new to Pine Island and not having much, if any, "local knowledge” about the area, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation for everything you have done to help us. We really lucked out when we connected with you and worked with you during our recent home purchase. Not only were you both extremely professional and knowledgeable, you were good listeners who always put your clients first. You worked extremely hard to ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible from the first day that we began looking for our Florida dream home until the actual closing date and thereafter. You made sure that all the "i’s” were dotted and the "t’s” were crossed along the way. When things got a little rocky just before the closing, you jumped in and diligently worked toward resolution. Not only did you concentrate on the actual home purchase, you went above and beyond to assist us with all of our other needs throughout the process. You were right there to answer our questions about inspections, insurances, taxes, paperwork, locksmiths, boat docks, and handymen, just to mention a few. If you said you were going to do something, not only did you do it, you did it in the timeliest manner possible! You were truly on top of things from start to finish. Your upbeat and possible attitude throughout the entire process assisted us with the confidence to move forward. We are thoroughly enjoying our new Florida home and will never hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family should they require expert real estate professionals. We have purchased several homes throughout the last 40+ years and we can honestly say that this experience has been by far the most positive due to the expert assistance you have provided. Thanks again for everything!
