When it comes to going above and beyond as a realtor, the words "above and beyond" do not do justice to Brent Conaway. Brent was literally with us throughout this entire process on a level that we've never experienced. As a growing family, we have outgrown 2 homes and have moved from one side of Florida to another. We've had wonderful realtors who have been great to work with. But none have gone the extra mile that Brent Conaway has. From showing us a myriad of amazing homes on Christmas Eve, on his own time, and doing the deep research it takes to find us what we were looking for, to navigating complex, last-minute hurdles with not only the buyer of our current home, but the sellers of the home we were hoping to make our own; Brent went above and beyond. And we closed in rapid fire for 2 weeks! Oh, and when we had a week's delay before moving into our new home because the owners needed …

And we closed in rapid fire for 2 weeks! Oh, and when we had a week's delay before moving into our new home because the owners needed additional time, he made sure we had the perfect place to stay with our 2 young boys until we could make the move. A hundred thumbs up to Brent for being down there in the trenches with us but also for making sure we got exactly what we were looking for quickly.
I bought my townhouse from another state. After talking to Brent, he set up Zillow searches for something that meets my requirements. As it happened, I ended up buying a townhouse that had been on the market a couple of months earlier when I was visiting the area but was then withdrawn. When I saw that it was going back on the market, Brent arranged to tour it (with my sister, who lives in the area) on the first day. I made an offer the next day and it was accepted. Brent referred me to an insurance broker, title company, and inspector. That all went well. Brent worked extensively with the seller's agent and the seller about various issues found by the inspection. The settlement was delayed a couple of months at the seller's request, and I wasn't able to actually go to the townhouse for a couple of weeks later, to see it in person for the first time.

The settlement was delayed a couple of months at the seller's request, and I wasn't able to actually go to the townhouse for a couple of weeks later, to see it in person for the first time. But everything went smoothly, and I do not regret my purchase. I was a little doubtful about the whole online settlement process, but it was pretty easy. Brent was very responsive to my concerns and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
When we decided to sell our place, we decided to go with Brent because he was local to our community and knew of several people who were looking to buy in our community. Because of this, we were willing to let Brent discuss our residence with these folks before we listed it publicly. We signed a contract with Brent to this effect, giving him time to negotiate an offer before we listed the house. He came through in a big way, securing an offer that was above what we discussed listing the house for in a very short period of time. He was professional in all of our dealings with him and we concluded the sale of our home without a hitch. We were very pleased with how things went.
Couldn't be more impressed and happy! Brent helped me close a complicated land deal that had a very intricate due diligence period. His experience as a general contractor allows for a deep understanding of the financial side of real estate that you won't find with 90% of the Realtors out there. Anyone can show a house but understanding the long-term financial impacts of owning vs renovating vs building new construction is where Brent can really leverage his experience. With a focus on green building, Brent is an expert in the future of the Florida housing market. Ask him about steel and foam construction and grab a notepad. Thanks Brent!
