Welcome to Grande Realty of Central Florida. Grande Realty is a different type of real estate company. We provide many value-added benefits that most companies don't or won't offer...like free home staging advice from an accredited home stager, access to a Realtor 24 hours a day, and free legal advice from a real estate attorney, should the need arise.
We have won the prestigeous FIVE STAR Customer Service Award from Orlando Homebuyer Magazine three years in a row, and we plan to win again next year. We provide honest and ethical treatment to each client, and we are trained and experienced in real estate negotiations, which can help put money in your pocket.

"The purchase of my new home was smooth from beginning to end. Radelle was always there for me, answering my calls at all hours, and calming me down when I got hyper. This is one heck of a good Realtor. She was honest with me, even when I didn't like the answers she gave me, and she helped negotiate a great deal on my new place. Thanks, Radelle and Ron. You were both great!"
Response: "Thank you, Diane. It was a pleasure working with you, and we're glad your home sold so quickly. We hope you enjoy many years in your new home."
Excellent experience with Radelle - Renee (Oct 14, 2009)
Renee sold a home and would recommend using Radelle for your home purchase. Comments:

"After several attempts with other Realtors to sell our house, I finally found Radelle and Ron. What a difference! I actually called Radelle (shame on me) at 10:15 p.m. one night and she answered her cell. With the other Realtors, I got no response at 2:00 p.m. and leaving messages did no good.
Radelle and Ron come very highly recommended. BTW, we got an incredible "thank you" gift from them at the end of the deal. Great Realtors!!!
"
Response: "Thanks, Renee. I know how important it was for you to sell quickly, and I'm glad it was a positive experience. "
A perfect experience. - Warren Crush (Aug 22, 2009)
Warren Crush bought a home and would recommend using Radelle for your home purchase. Comments:

"The sale of our home and purchase of our new one couldn't have been easier. Radelle and Ron priced our home very well. We wanted a quick sale, and we sold in two weeks. I interviewed several Realtors and Radelle and Ron provided the most accurate and professional information to us. They were honest from the start, and they provided service beyond anything we ever experienced. We have moved twelve times, and this was the best and most attentive service we ever received. Great job!"
Response: "Ron and I are thrilled that our house sold so quickly. We enjoyed working with you and Ruth, and we hope you'll keep in touch." This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.
Great agents! - VB (Aug 22, 2009)
VB sold a home and would recommend using Radelle for your home purchase. Comments:

"This is more of a custom real estate agency than the standard "run-of-the-mill" operation. Radelle and husband Ron were absolutely wonderful and extremely professional. I would recommend them to everyone. Radelle is also an accredited home stager, which is very helpful in preparing a home to sell quickly and at a higher cost. I would use Grande Realty again in a heart beat!"
Response: "Staging your home was quite easy because you did all the clean-out work ahead of time! Thanks for the nice comments, and we truly enjoyed working with you."

Response: "Thanks for the nice comments! We know you worried about calling us too much, but it was never a bother, and we always enjoyed our lengthy real estate conversations!" This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.

What year did you become a real estate agent?
2001
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
6
What is the average home price in your market?
$240,000
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
Home appraisals are coming in much lower than anyone is expecting. Many appraisals are coming in lower than the list price, leaving the listing and the selling agents very confused.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
The standard answer to that question is usually, “Because I like helping people.” While that is certainly one aspect of the job that I enjoy, I also enjoy multi tasking and dealing with the many challenging, fast-paced and demanding segments of the real estate business. Providing outstanding customer service and receiving the Five Star Customer Service Award from Orlando Homebuyer Magazine three years in a row is, by far, a confirmation that this business has great rewards.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
Explaining to buyers that they need to be pre-approved before we show them properties.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
The most interesting moment has been the three years (2007, 2008, 2009) my husband and I received the Five Star Customer Service Award from Orlando Homebuyer Magazine. With so many Realtors in Orlando, getting this award is at the top of my list of interesting moments.
What is your best characteristic?
I take my cell phone to bed with me! I have answered real-estate related calls at all hours because I feel I should be there for my buyers and sellers.
Who or what inspires you the most?
Having dedicated people around me. It is inspiring to work with dedicated and motivated people, especially in a job that provides so many rewards.
What is the best advice you ever received?
The best advice I ever received is the phrase, "The customer comes first." I have tried to remember that phrase when a particular client may be stressing me out, and if I put that client's needs before mine, there is always a positive outcome.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
