What People Are Saying About Joe Manausa Real Estate


From the moment I reached out, Nikky's knowledge, expertise, background, research, organization, project-management, counseling, negotiation and her upmost dedication for getting the job done and (let me add) Done Well...I'm blown away!
The house looked amazing! We kept on schedule! Multiple offers and sold OVER asking price...Cash! I could not ask for more from a real estate agent.
What makes Nikky above and beyond other agents....she navigated our very unique family dynamics with patience and grace! All that while my brother and I both live out of state! Through it all, I had absolute confidence that Nikky had everything under control...whether I was in town or not! Communication was fantastic and information shared in a timely manner!! Nikky was there every step of the way...I'm beyond thankful for Nikky Manausa and everyone with Joe Manausa Real Estate!

Stacie keeps you posted on everything you need to know about buying or selling a property. Stacie has handled three home purchases for us in this area and we couldn't be happier. She works tirelessly even in the late hours to make sure you have all the detailed information you need for successful transactions. We love Stacie Boone also for the kind and gentle person that she is !!







































Luckily, I found Ondrea Maldonado.
When we found our dream home, there were already more offers on it. Ondrea helped convince them to wait to decide so we could submit our offer.
She was with us working on our offer every step of the way. She helped us determine the best way to position our offer and what price to go in to give us the absolute best chance that the sellers would accept our offer over the others.
We felt like we were working with our best friend rather than a real estate agent.
When you choose to work with Ondrea (and I HIGHLY recommend you do) they will make contact with you quickly and invite you to meet anywhere that’s convenient for you to discuss what you want, deal breakers, price ranges, neighborhoods, etc.. after you finish, she will give you her honest opinion/feedback and would ask follow up questions and suggest you check out things you might not have considered; this just speaks to her commitment to making sure we were well taken care of.
Another huge perk about Ondrea is that she knows the field extremely well. She was able to support us during the stressful mortgage process, was an indispensable line of communication with the bank, and the vendor, and helped us immensely, considering we are first-time buyers.
Her advocacy moved mountains! We consider ourselves extremely lucky and blessed to have had Ondrea as our Realtor! I would rate her higher than 5 stars if I could! We will eternally be grateful that they helped us find our beautiful home.
Thank you so much.


















From looking at homes she was very flexible with my work schedule and gave honest feedback about what she thought of the properties and the location. She was very thorough and good at breaking down things I didn't initially understand about the home purchasing process.
Also was helpful with any questions I had about home insurance, home warranty, the underwriting process, etc.
If you are a first time homebuyer looking to buy your starter home I highly recommend Paige as a realtor! It makes a big difference when the realtor agent actually cares about the buyer's choices, decisions, and well being during the process of buying a home. It made the process actually enjoyable and pleasant and not stressful.
If you have Paige as a realtor you will be in great hands and looked out for!







I gave Jason a very difficult task of finding a home that could accommodate a wheelchair and offer safety for an autistic grandson. The home we were looking for had to be in a safe neighborhood, wheelchair accessible and within our budget. The truth is we gave him an almost impossible task in today’s market. He took us to home after home after home until we finally found the perfect one with everything we asked for and more. He worked tirelessly day and night for our family, and we will never be able to thank him enough.
What really makes Jason stand out is the network of people he surrounds himself with. He offers a network of honest people he can put you in touch with for any renovation project that sometimes come with the purchase of a home. If you do not live in the Tallahassee area it is priceless to have a contact with that type of knowledge. He is not just a realtor he makes you part of a team that he has put together to get the job done no matter what it takes. Jason from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU and Joe Manausa Real Estate of Tallahassee for all of your hard work






























Above all else, these are GOOD HUMAN BEINGS whose expertise is blended with attentiveness and compassion. They're great folks to do business with and even BETTER people to know. They will always tell you what you NEED to know (all you have to do is take their advice and do what they suggest)...service and results that EXCEED every expectation. You might call other agents or agencies, but you will NOT do better
































































































































































































































Not only that, seeing Joe Manausa all around town on CARS, on the radio, and even on HULU before my employment made me think the worst.... I mean the worst but Guys JOE MANAUSA IS THE MOST HUMBLE & RESPECTFUL MAN I’VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING OMG. His demeanor is welcoming and even his home is just as humble as he is!
Joe’s team based structure is so strong that if you’ve never seen his face before, you’d never know who the boss is! He stands by his employees and protects you like a rare gem. Everyone’s the manager. Everyone has the same vision. There are no two headed monsters. No hidden motives here.
This place is more of the Jackson 5 than they are a Real Estate Company. Every family [team] member has their strong suits that they put into overdrive daily. They have the same dream whether it be to get your home sold or to get you into the dream one! No competing for commission! He spends more on advertising the sale of your home in a month than he pays in my annual salary. ??
There’s no “i” in JOE MANAUSA REAL ESTATE ?? everybody eats ?? ?? & when you’re here YOU’RE family.



























Cheers!
Rodney and Robin Jordan









They were both very receptive via text and emails. The Manausa team was able to set up all inspections, provide lender resources, and answer all of my questions.
If you’re in need of a realtor, make sure you get in contact with Cate!


















































best customer service out there. they genuinely care about you, and do their very best to find your dream house! can’t say enough good things about them! 10/10 recommend








We received multiple offers above asking
Everything went smoothly and the closing attorney and her staff did an excellent job.




Follow through on details or questions promptly responded to. Eastiest home purchase of my life. Thanks Michelle!




























Thank You!





Maggie is the most wonderful encourager with the most fantastic tell-it-like-it-is sayings. Every time I called Maggie frustrated, stressed or upset, she had me laughing and smiling in minutes. If I could give Maddie 42 stars I’d give her 43! She is relentless in her pursuit of keeping her clients happy, well informed and encouraged! She is literally there day or night! She was my “therapist” through this whole process. She told me multiple times, “If you need anything, anytime, call me!”. She meant it. I can not imagine going through this process without her! She is truly your best ally!
John B. Is also fantastic! Only once in the 842 times (a slight exaggeration, lol) I called did he not answer, but he sent a text immediately that said he was on the other line and to text him what I needed. He is serious but he gets stuff done. He has all of the answers and if he doesn’t, he gets it in a couple of minutes. He cares about your needs and gives you a the shoves of reality you need to stay on target. I felt truly supported by John. His motto was ask me anything anytime! His advice and expertise are invaluable! He answered emails at 7:00 am on a Saturday and 11:30 pm on a Wednesday. He is 100% there for you. You will feel as though you are his only client.
To be sure I am propbably a rather demanding client but it never once phased them. They never left me waiting or wanting. I never felt alone or that my concerns were trivial. I cannot imagine for one second that there is a better team to sell your house with in all the world. As far as results? I was assured they’d sell my house in two weeks. It hit the market and sold within 13 days. If you like customer service, results, honesty, kept promises and unflinching support use Manausa!
As for the new house, I worked with Alex who is also a wonderful, knowledgeable guy. His laid back deamonor is calming and reassuring. He works tirelessly to help you get what you need. He makes everything seem as if it will all work out. He is strategic in getting you where you want to be and ensuring you get the home you really want. He is supportive but never pushy. He also has the contacts you need to help you get the financing and inspections you need. His advice is spot-on!
All in all, I would recommend Joe Manausa 1000%. I had high expectations and this team surpassed them all! You don’t need to shop around or think about it. If you want to buy or sell a house in the Tallahassee area, use Manausa. You won’t be disappointed!






















































































































I wanted to post an update for my review as we closed on our house! Jordan Scott is fantastic through the whole process. I remember walking up to the house with him for the first time and he said "Here it is! This is THE house!" I chuckled and said "Yeah okay sure let's look." And let me tell you. He was 100% correct. To have an agent be so in sync with you and what you want and need has been just so incredible (I'm almost sad it's over, almost). It isn't a house I would have looked at on my own, but he knew what I wanted and made sure I got exactly that. He stuck by my side through the negotiation process and we got my sweet little house all done quickly and without much struggle. Some is always expected, but it was mostly kept out of my hair. Who wouldn't love that! Jordan Scott is a man I am proud to know and I think everyone who meets him would feel the same way. I could honestly go on for pages and pages telling every story and every odd thing we've seen looking at houses together, but I'll settle on the facts that he is amazing at what he does and he is so so passionate about his work. Let him find your perfect home. He'll definitely over deliver in every capacity.

























-Signed a happy home owner







































Andy, James, Penny and the rest of the team really took care of us! Fantastic group!!
































Due to her attentiveness, knowledge, professionalism AND dependability; this was by far the most stress free purchase and closing that we have ever experienced. You'll be in fantastic hands with Manausa.
Thank you so much guys!
John and Yasmina Benoit






Andy Elliot came out to our home and reviewed their marketing strategy and potential timeline. Later that day, Andy had provided us with a list price that was actually higher than we had hoped for. Within days, their amazing photographer was on site to take photos of the property.
Our home was listed on their Coming Soon website, as well as social media. It didn't take long (hours) before we saw people driving by taking pictures of our home. For the next week we observed dozens of folks stopping and looking at the house. We knew that we were going into listing our house with a lot of momentum. By the time the house actually went on the market, we had a line of appointments for showings. We received multiple offers the day of listing and were under contract that same evening.
Right up to the day of closing Andy and Penny communicated proactively to make sure that everything was moving with alacrity. We closed on time without so much as a hiccup along the way.
This should have been a stressful process to some extent, but Andy and team made it enjoyable - to the extent that I will almost say that it was fun.
This is one well-oiled machine that has earned it's reputation. I would not hesitate to work with Andy and the Joe Manausa team again!



















Her skills and knowledge in finding the right financial institution, housing inspector and my home owner insurance was invaluable to saving me money overall.
I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to purchase a home to use her services as professional real estate agent.




















Girl Jordan has been the shining light at the end of the dark real estate tunnel for us. She has been a tremendous help from everything to talking to us about how to initiate the process to dealing with the bank and to where we are now, on our way to closing day. From the start, she figured out our individual personalities and was able to approach topics and issues in ways that really helped us understand what we were doing and needed to do.
One thing at Joe Manausa Realty they try to make sure you understand is that they are not doing this to get rich, they are truly there to help even seasoned home buyers along the way. If there was ever a time that our schedules didn't match up, Girl Jordan made sure one of her co-workers was there to help us. From Alex to boy Kevin and boy Jordan, there has been someone there, day and night, weekday and weekend...hell, even holidays...what I am getting at is, anything that you need they will provide.
Though our process isn't over I am fully confident that every bit of the quality of service that we have received thus far will still be provided. The fact that it feels like we are working with friends says it all. I am so glad that we decided to choose Joe Manausa and girl Jordan, enough that whenever the time comes that we are ready to move on we will for sure be seeking them out to help us sell our home.






























































She should be recognized
Thank you Eva!!!











The team worked together to sell our home and because of the communication and energy of Kim and Alex, our house was under contract in 15 days!
Our family was able to move into our new house with the whole Manausa team without a single snag or issue.
Thanks Manausa team for making our dream come true!


Thanks again
John Kreiensieck

She was a pleasure to work with!

I am looking forward to recommending them in the future!

John handled this important transaction with a professional demeanor. As an attorney in Elgin, IL I often times work with Joe Manausa Real Estate because it, like your office, does things right.
























































The first time I met with Alex we sat down and he walked me through every step of what would be the process (including a helpful powerpoint) so I had an understanding of exactly what would be involved. SO HELPFUL!
Once we started looking, he took into account everything I was looking for while giving recommendations on where to proceed. The house I ended up buying was one he let me know of via e-mail at 10:30pm on a Friday night because it had just come on the market and he wanted me to see it. 10:30pm on a Friday night is dedication.
Once the process started moving forward he let me know step by step what was happening and answered every question I had while guiding me through the fun processes of negotiating with the seller, inspections, repairs, and every other little thing that needed to happen. He was always honest with me, never telling me just what I wanted to hear so he could make the sell (and he did it all while working around my work schedule). I never had to take off work except the day of the signing (I work 9-6 on weekdays).
Alex, and Manausa Realty also had a plethora of resources for everything I needed including setting me up with an awesome lender (and great loan) and inspection services (I even got discounts because they work with Manausa so much).
So if you are looking for an honest, resourceful, and all around great realtor, Alex Nunez is your guy! :)




We had quite a few road bumps during the process due to our lender/insurance/inspection process that the team managed to pull us through, even after we had long thought we had lost the deal. If it wasn't for Kevin, we'd have long ago given up and would not have our new home!
Thanks so much guys!


Buying a home can be daunting, but having Michelle with us every step of the way was a great comfort. We knew we were getting an expert in the field who not only understood the market and the process, but who was also able to quickly identify the key priorities we were looking for in a home. She took the time to get to know us and always responded promptly and enthusiastically (even when we would send endless emails!).
We are so grateful for all of Manausa's help and could not be happier with the process and the end result. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants personalized service from professionals who care not just that you find a house, but that you find the perfect house for your family.

Our agent, Kevin Milligan, was a friggin' rockstar. He was always there when we needed to contact him and he was always actively looking for us. He knew right after our first meeting what we were looking for and was on point from day one. At some point we looked at 3-4 houses a day and Kevin took our no's to houses and moved on to the next one. Funny story, the house we bought was the very first house we looked at (which we were unsure because we loved it but it was the first house we saw). 2 months later it came back on the market after falling through in a deal. Kevin showed us the house again, he had a feeling it was meant to be and guess what? We bought it! Even after we bought it he helped with small things around the house and waited around to help me light the pilot light! From beginning to end, he was there. If you are looking for a hard worker and somebody who will find that forever home, he is your guy.




Because our home sold quickly, we were able to purchase our dream home. We felt comfortable with the negotiation process and every detail was taken care of. A few questionable items popped up on the inspection and Joe made sure to investigate our concerns. Our home buying process was about as non-stressful as it could have been. We LOVE our new home!
I highly recommend working with Joe if you need to buy OR sell a home! His market knowledge allowed us to feel confident about our decisions to buy and sell.
