Buyers Testimonials
Knew their market exceptionally well. Great advice on house presentation and marketing. Great pair or real estate agents. Friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. Kept us update throughout the selling and sale process.
She has good communication skills, keeps up with current markets in local areas and has good connections with people who made the process of closing on house prompt and easy for us.
Teresa was amazing. She was there for us until the very end, and made sure we were happy with everything. She was patient and always in great spirits. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone in the market for a home.
Michele is the best! I felt supported and guided during the whole process of selling my home. Whenever I felt a momentary discouragement (selling a house can be demanding), she helped me to stay positive. I always felt she was in my corner giving me the best advice and giving me every opportunity to showcase my home for a timely sale.
Malcolm was incredibly helpful through the entire process. He is professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. I hope that I have a chance to work again with him in the future.
He handled the mess caused by the incompetent roofer well.
Thank you so much. I didn't have to do anything but show up for my closing!
As we have said before, Fonda was a life saver for us in our move from South Carolina. We had a very narrow window to find a house in Florida, close on the house in South Carolina and then move out of the house in South Carolina. We closed on the House in Florida the day after we moved from South Carolina. Without Fonda's help and expertise, we'd have never gotten it all done. She was a true blessing to us. We'd recommend Fonda and Bosshardt to anyone. Thank you again Fonda for everything.
Fonda was on top of her game from the start. She provided excellent information and responded almost immediately to questions or concerns. Having an experienced professional who has seen it all really makes the difference when selling or purchasing real estate.
Teresa was great to work with. She was always willing to answer my questions whenever I called. She made sure we looked at thing in the houses we were looking at and gave us suggestions on how to proceed. Kept us updated every step of the way.
Teresa was the most helpful realtor. This is our third time buying/selling with her and would continue to recommend her to others and use her personally. She knows the market and is extremely easy to work with. Her communication skills are excellent and really cares about her clients. It’s apparent that she wants to make things effortless for her clients as she assists with a sale. We are so thankful for her.
Lysa is the most attentive realtor I’ve ever met. She’s detail oriented yet puts her personal attention directly on her clients. Even the people who bought my house ( with a realtor from a different agency ) asked Lysa for her card during the final walk through. And would like to have Lysa help their daughter find a home in Ocala instead of the realtor that they were using.That tells you a lot right there. She covered every detail in the entire process leaving me only to worry about boxing up my things and moving.I would highly recommend Lysa as a realtor. You get no surprises…
Heather & Autumn always gave great advice and let me decide what was best. They never pressured me to decide what was the next step to take.
Perry was wonderful to work with! He was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the process. He made everything feel smooth and stress-free, and we really appreciated his guidance and attention to detail.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin Banes! From the very beginning, Kevin took on what we knew would be a complex and challenging real estate transaction with transparency, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Throughout the entire process, Kevin went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions being made. His knowledge, dedication, and ability to navigate difficult circumstances were invaluable, but what truly set him apart was his understanding of the emotional side of selling a home. He approached every challenge with patience, honesty, and empathy, never making us feel like just another transaction. Kevin consistently demonstrated that he genuinely cared about our family and the outcome, even when circumstances became particularly difficult. His persistence, integrity, and unwavering support made an incredibly challenging situation much easier to navigate. We are beyond grateful for everything Kevin did for our family. If you're looking for a realtor who combines exceptional expertise with genuine compassion and integrity, we cannot recommend Kevin Banes highly enough!
We trust Perry to evaluate our needs and to keep us informed about the market. He is always our first choice

Selling a house from a distance can be stressful, and it was, but it could have been waaaay more so if Angela wasn’t there to help. She coordinated contractors, estimates, work scope changes, and made sound recommendations on what to do to prepare for a sale. She is also a good human being who remains calm during the storm and trays everyone with respect. 100% recommend you work with Angela to buy or sell your property.
Perry is a go getter, listens, and provides superior service. Once I had decided to purchase a home and gave him my "requirements", he sent me home listings in communities that met my requirements. He offered excellent advice and great suggestions. I would highly recommend Perry.
Michele best realtor that I have ever used. She is the best.
Successfully drove to completion of selling and relocation. Lysa's persistence pays off in approach and experience.
Very accessible and responsive. The process was well explained and went very smoothly.
We wanted to thank you for helping us sell our property, it was a pleasure. You made the experience absolutely wonderful, we would choose you over and over again. Stay blessed.
Having Michele as my agent was a joy! She is patient, thorough, knowledgable, always in touch and responsive to every request. I felt total confidence that everything was done correctly and on time. Lovely person too!
Amy was kind and professional throughout our time working with her. She considered our personal preferences and needs when finding properties for us to tour. When we found our perfect home she guided us through the process. Amy was helpful, honest, and knowledgeable. Her expertise was greatly appreciated as first time home buyers.
It was the best experience I have had purchasing a house, highly recommend!!!!
Teresa Hoffman and Bosshardt realty helped me navigate a few challenging situations that came with new home buys. She was very knowledgeable and informative during the entire process. Thank you for your patience and prompt attention during my first home buy purchase.
My wife and I recently bought our second home to move closer to grandparents, and we had a fantastic experience working with Perry McDonald. From start to finish, Perry was incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process seamless. He was extremely communicative, quick to respond to every question, and always made sure we were kept updated at every step. We truly would not have been able to secure our home without him. We are so grateful to have had Perry as our agent and highly recommend his services!
Teresa kept me well informed in all aspects of our selling experience from pricing, activity from potential buyers, and negotiation. She made the entire process from listing to closing stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering selling or purchasing real estate.
Laurie is an outstanding realtor. She patiently walked us through the process. She is details oriented and very honest. We will recommend her to everyone.
Heather and Autumn were wonderful to work with from the first meeting to the last. They provided excellent advice about getting our home ready for the listing, setting the right price and accepting an offer. Our home sold quickly at the price we wanted with no unexpected surprises—all thanks to Heather and Autumn.
Making the choice for Teresa to be our selling agent was a blessing. She is not only extremely knowledgable of all aspects of selling a home but a true professional as well. Beyond those qualities, we found Teresa to be kind, patient and accessible as she said, 24/7, even on vacation. She made the process less stressful and smoothed out a few bumps that occured toward the end. We highly recommend Teresa to represent a buy or sell transaction and feel she must be the best agent at Bosshardt Realty Services.
Lysa is an incredible agent, she goes above and beyond for her customers. We are so blessed to have met her and she makes everything so easy for us. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.
We were absentee owners of a house we bought in Gainesville while our daughter was working on her Ph.D. at the University of Forida. We have leased the house through Bosshard Property Management since her graduation. We have owned the house for 20 years while living in Portland, OR. On deciding to sell, we did extensive online research and interviewing of agents to help us sell our property. Ciara rose to the top, and turned out better than we could have imagined. She took care of all of the issues we faced, including needed repairs. She was our eyes and ears for this transaction. We did not have to leave Portland as she covered all issues we faced. She was so friendly and responded to each challenge immediatly. We would give her more than 5 stars if that were an option. Sincerely, Jim and Nancy Biedenweeg after extensiv
Michele is a wonderful realtor, always cheerful and supportive and helpful when situations arise that are difficult and she is always available when you need her plus, she becomes your good friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to buy or sell a home. James Dupre
Lysa was amazing both whem buying my house and when we decided to sell. Lysa had all the right answer and was able to get us in touch with an agent in the state we where moving. Lysa was on top of the sale and house sold very quickly. Lysa also was involved with the out state making sure we were being taking care of. I would recommend Lysa to any one who need a help selling/buying a house she is amazing
Perry stands out as an honest & knowledgeable agent. Our house sold in 2 days for the asking price. He always acts in our best interest. Always helps us make solid decisions. Perry has sold multiple houses for us & our son. He is the best. He is our GOAT real estate agent.
An easy and pleasant experience handled with great communication and professionalism.
Fonda was a good listener and she provided efficient and effective service as a result. We are experienced home shoppers and pretty much knew what we wanted in a neighborhood and home. Fonda showed us the properties we were interested in and we submitted an offer that was accepted the very first day. She provided her insight before, during and after the home purchase and we heartily recommend her for your real estate needs.
Trey did an excellent job listing, negotiating and selling our Gainesville home. We have nothing but good things to say about Bosshardt and would recommend to our friends anytime.
Laurie was Awesome! She is knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. She made the home-buying process feel easy and low-stress. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend her to help sell your home.
Working with Teresa has been an absolute dream—twice! She helped me buy my home in Gainesville, and four years later, I knew without hesitation she’d be the one to help me sell it. Teresa is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful in every detail. Selling from out of state could have been stressful, but with Teresa, I had complete peace of mind. She handled everything with care and precision, kept me informed, and made sure the entire process was smooth and worry-free. Her organization, communication, and calm confidence made all the difference. Teresa goes above and beyond—anticipating needs, solving problems before they arise. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Genile was fantastic. Her expertise came in handy so many times. She truly looked out for me and my partners best interest for each and every step of this whole process. The house we bought has exceeded all our expectations- and it’s one that Genile recommended to us. She really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel supported. We love her!
I had a wonderful experience working with Amy for both selling and buying my homes! She made the entire selling process incredibly smooth and stress-free, helped me find a great buyer, and handled everything professionally and efficiently. I was extremely happy with the outcome! When it came to buying my new home, Amy was just as amazing. She helped me find a fantastic house at a great price, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Amy is knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I’m so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for how smoothly our recent transaction went. Working with you demonstrated professionalism and attention throughout the entire process. From initial communications to coordinating inspections and closing, everything was handled with efficiency and clarity. It's clear that you prioritize your clients' needs and maintain a high standard of service. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.
Very accessible and responsive. The process was well explained and went very smoothly.
Overall a great experience! I’m glad Denee was able to help me as much as she was! 10/10 service!
Being a real estate broker, I know a good one and she’s the best one I’ve ever dealt with.
Through the years, I have bought and sold several pieces of real estate. I have worked with different types of agents, but Fonda was the first who really listened to how I wanted to work. She is very knowledgeable, attentive to details, committed, a straight communicator and creative. She goes the extra mile. For the first time in a real estate relationship, I actually experienced my business being as important to someone else as it is to me. We had a very successful business partnership.
Lysa is the ultimate real estate pro! I have used her services for four transactions so far and would never use another real estate agent in North Florida. Her attention to every detail us unparalleled and her knowledge of the industry can't be beat. But the thing that impresses me most is Lysa's kindness, compassion, and genuine heartfelt care for her customers. I would highly recommend her services to any and all!
Teresa has been so helpful with my family. She has helped me find a house for my in-law twice and helped us sell the one. Then she has helped me with finding commercial property for our business and then helped me find land that we can divide to gift 1/2 the property to our youngest son and his family. Teresa is excellent at what she does, and our family just loves her.
After 6 months with a different realtor he simply portrayed confidence in the ability to market and sell my property. Something the previous realtor just wasn’t able to do. He was able to suggest updates to the overall property and pricing that in the span of just over a month, produced interest and an offer.
We had sold our home of 45 years and were unsure of what we were looking for. Rainbow listen and spent whatever time was needed to find our new home. Thank you Rainbow.
Taylor did an incredible job of finding us property to build on. She was very helpful in leading us through negotiations on the property. Not only that she was very knowledgable with any questions we had during this process and very easy to reach even after normal work hours. She made this the easiest, stress free transaction we could've asked for.
I am extremely satisfied with the amazing service we received from Teresa, Kim and everyone at Bosshardt. Knowledgeable, professional, patient, responsive, everything you could ask for from a business partner. I give them my highest recommendation, they are fantastic!!
Teresa was so kind & caring for the whole time it took to find the right buyer. I so appreciated her knowledge of the local market & her patience with helping me after my husband passed. She persevered & kept me updated very frequently. I can’t imagine the process going any smoother. She is the best. I will be forever grateful to her.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Lysa Rodgers. She has been my realtor for over 10 years, and throughout that time, her dedication, professionalism, and integrity have been absolutely incredible. Lysa consistently goes above and beyond. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and strong negotiation skills have always made me feel confident and supported in every transaction. She makes what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable, always keeping me informed and advocating for my best interests. Ten years in business together is a true testament to the trust she builds with her clients. Her commitment, responsiveness, and genuine care set her apart. I am beyond grateful to have had her by my side for so many years and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional realtor.
In a tricky market, Amy was able to help us find our dream home. She was excellent at communicating and showing us as many properties as quickly as possible. She was also the seller’s agent for the house we ended up purchasing and made sure everything worked out smoothly. Couldn’t ask for a better realtor!
What a great experience we have had with Teresa Hoffman. Teresa's communication, honestly, integrity and willingness to listen allowed us to purchase our property with ease. Teresa really made our buying experience so wonderful and we highly recommend her.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Fonda and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, she made the entire home buying/selling process seamless and stress-free. Fonda is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market, always available to answer questions, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure their clients are well taken care of. What impressed me most was her attention to detail and dedication to finding the perfect home for my family. She listened to my needs and preferences and worked tirelessly to find options that fit exactly what I was looking for. The communication throughout the process was excellent, and I always felt like a priority.If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, caring, and truly invested in your success, look no further than Fonda. I couldn't be happier with my experience and will definitely be recommending her to anyone in need of a top-notch realtor!
Robert excels as a Realtor. He truly listens, handles every detail, and does not have to be asked twice about anything. He was attentive from showing to closing, plus highly responsive to calls, texts, and/or emails.
Ciara was always quick to respond to my questions. She took the time to understand what I was looking at in a home functionally and stylistically. She was able to meld my needs into a great list of homes to visit. One of the homes in the second day of showings was what I decided to go with since it met all my requirements and many of my nice-to-haves. She patiently stepped me through the process of buying the home to make sure closing went off without a hitch. We closed about a week earlier than planned. Amazing!
I’ve experienced multiple real estate transactions with Genile and the results have always been exceptional. I felt she had my best interests at heart and she advised me accordingly. I can wholeheartedly refer Genile to my friends and associates.
Jarrett helped us immensely with repairs, cleaning and anything else that came up. Our house sold fast due to his help. Easy to work with and very knowledgeable
Teresa was so helpful & kept me up to date on any offers or calls that she received. I was so impressed with her professionalism. She was so supportive when my husband passed away & helped me understand exactly what was going on. I don’t know what I would have done without her support.
This was the best and smoothest real estate transaction I have ever had. I’m 78 and have had lots of them. Trey Goff was suburb especially in keeping us informed. Carolina made closing easy. I would recommend Bosshart realty any time. God bless you. Tom Steffens
Excellent communication , very pleasant personality, very knowledgeable and extremely quick in responding to all the questions and problems. Recommends all the local people’s contact information. Very professional . Missie takes care of scheduling all the necessary appointments and follows through very closely. Very easy to reach out if we need anything even on weekends. Excellent person to work with .
Denee Hurst is the best. She was proactive and promptly responsive to our demanding needs. Excellent realtor to work with
Matt and team found one potential buyer just as we were preparing to put the house on the market. They made a beautiful video highlighting the creek-side location. They did several open houses. He was helpful and creative during the negotiations we had. The third offer was the charm; the house sold about 5 months after first listing.
Perry McDonald is the best better than all the rest. From depths of the ocean to the Swamps of Gainesville Perry will hunt you the best deal. His professionalism and local knowledge is unparalleled. He has a keen eye and sharp senses to identify things a home inspector may overlook. Thank you!!!
He has great knowledge of the area. He and his wife both grew up in the Ocala area, which was a huge plus they worked hard, presented the house in a wonderful light and worked very hard to make this happen. Greatly appreciate both of them.
Laurie is an outstanding realtor. She patiently walked us through the process. She is details oriented and very honest. We will recommend her to everyone.
