Why Do Homes Have Recent Price Reductions
When a home hits the market for the first time, often times the sellers are mis-informed of its value or they choose to ignore the pricing guidance from their listing agent. Either way, the only solution is to either wait for the market to catch up or to reduce the price within the range of its fair market value. This can be especially true when unscrupulous agents mislead homeowners who have high end homes and the agent wants to "land the listing" without regard for the best interests of the home sellers.
As somebody looking to buy a home in Tallahassee, you should monitor price reductions every day (assuming you are ready to "pull the trigger" and buy a home today). Why?
Home seller price reductions are often a sign of changing motivations, when sellers move from the realm of "Fantasy Land" to the actual market place of "Reality." Unfortunately for these home sellers, this price-reduction strategy will likely lead them to a sale at a price lower than had they hit the market with the correct initial asking price.
And this means opportunity for you.
Not All Price Changes Are Reductions
Now before we go on, you have to understand that not all seller asking-price changes are downward moves. Sometimes, home sellers raise their asking price. Ninety five times out of a hundred, the reason is due to the supreme ignorance of their listing agent who is merely trying to maintain a relationship with the seller long enough to hopefully get paid.
- There are some reasons that a price increase makes sense, but it should always be based upon "added value" or in the VERY RARE instance of a rapid move in the market. For example, the seller might raise the price after
- Putting in a new HVAC system
- Adding a brand new roof
- Finishing a basement
- Adding a room
Any of these adjustments have the potential to add value.
For the remaining 95 sellers in a 100 who are convinced to raise their price, they are not ready to sell, just leave them alone. Think about it like this ... nobody fancied their home at $300,000, so they raise their price to $315,000??? How well do you think that works out? Do you think the home compares more favorably to the competition at a higher price or a lower price?
Not All Price Reductions Reveal Value
Just because a homeowner lowers his asking price does not now make the home a good value. It merely shows the potential for a more-motivated home seller. Regardless of market conditions, only motivated home sellers get their homes sold.
Lowering a home's asking price might not change its market-ability at all. If a $300,000 home is on the market for $360,000 and the seller reduces it to $350,000, NOTHING has happened. It's still an over-priced listing with an unmotivated seller.
Unfortunately for home sellers, buyers are not stupid. They look at all the homes in their price range, and select among the best values to see offline. Pricing correctly is the key to attracting enough buyers to create value.

Work With A Top Real Estate Company
Understanding value and pricing are just part of the equation in how your real estate company is going to save you money (yes, I said company, not agent). If you are selling, you need a team that works exclusively to market and sell homes for top dollar. If you are buying, you need a team that works around the clock to ensure you get the right home, at the right price, without paying a bunch of outrageous third-party fees.
Whether buying or selling, we would like the opportunity to interview for the job of being your real estate company. I promise you will be better informed and more likely to be successful after we talk, even if you choose to hire another company.
To get the ball rolling, you can CONTACT US HERE to let us know when you would like to meet.
Why Should You Give Us A Try?
My family worked with Manausa Real Estate for our first home. We chose them because of the team-based approach and overall enthusiasm during the initial meeting with Kevin. He showed us data on the housing market, and walked us through what to expect in our search. Kevin showed us around homes and was very forthcoming with advice in continuing our search. After showing a few houses, Kevin was out of town and Lindsey showed us some homes, one of which we are now moved in to. Lindsey took the lead for the remainder of the process and was fantastic to work with. She was very responsive, and going that extra bit to help us feel secure in our decision. The whole process went really smoothly, and closing only took 45 minutes! It was truly a great experience.
I highly recommend Joe Manausa real estate to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Tallahassee area. Alex and Jordan were both extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and were always willing and able to work around my busy work schedule to show me places. Alex, was extremely knowledgeable about the process and the market. He made sure all my questions were answered, and made my first home buying experience as smooth, and comfortable as possible. Jordan was also great, her energy and personality, helped make me excited about the homes I was seeing and there potential. The both always kept in contact, about new listings and scheduling showings. The website was also, a valuable tool in the buying process, as I could easily search for and favorite homes that I like, and they could setup the showings for me from there. Really couldn't have asked for anything more from my first home buying experience.
We listed our house and within a month it sold and we were quickly on the hunt for a new house. Our team of realtors helping us have been so patient and have worked almost around the clock to help us sell and buy all at the same time. Marcus, Kevin, and Kim thank you SO much for all your hard work, patience, kindness, and understanding! Couldn't have done this whole process without you guys. (I don't want to do it again though) 
We recently purchased a home and we are truly happy. Jordan Scott was our agent and he did a great job in helping us through this process.
I would highly recommend going with Joe Manausa Real Estate for buying your next home. They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process and worked hard to ensure a smooth, trouble free home buying experience. Thanks to James, Kevin, and the Manausa team, my wife and I found our dream home and couldn't be happier!
We worked with Shannon Day on our recent purchase of a home. Shannon was very professional from moment one and worked hard throughout the process to ensure that the process went as smooth as possible. He worked well with all partners involved in the process which was very helpful from the buyers perspective. Things were handled before we even knew they needed to be handled.
I highly recommend JMRE! Andy on the sellers side was extremely helpful, very quick to respond, and most importantly, got my house under contract in less than 90 days. Then, on the buyers side, Cait was awesome to work with. Both agents worked tirelessly (sometimes until close to midnight) to help my wife and I sell our home and then buy the house of our dreams. Thanks again Andy and Cait and the entire team at Joe Manausa Real Estate!
My husband and I just closed on a house and we worked with Shannon Day. Shannon was very professional and thorough throughout the entire process. He took a real hands on approach and worked well with all partners involved in making this happen. Before we even knew something needed to be handled, it was! Thank you for outstanding customer service and for making something that could easily have been overwhelming, a breeze 
First rate experience. My agent Shannon Day worked with me ever step of the process and was very responsive with any questions I had.
This real estate firm is a one stop shop as I like to call it! They have everything from mortgage lenders, to contractors after you close. Everything you could possibly need to guide you through the whole process! The first time my husband and I entered their office they wanted to first let us know the "why" Joe Manausa firm... we were so impressed with their knowledge of the whole process, especially about the market! They are not just about the quick sale. Our realtor was fabulous and really kept us grounded when shopping for our home. He really wanted us to be happy with our purchase! When it's time to sell and look for our retirement home we will definitely call upon them again! We are so thankful for Alex and for Joe Manausa's firm! We will send our friends and family too! ??
Kevin Milligan at Joe Manausa Real Estate was such a big help in our home buying experience. This was our first home purchase; Kevin spent 2.5 hours with us explaining the in's and out's of the home buying process. He gave us lots of advice and answered tons of questions before knowing whether we were going to go with them as our realtor or not. It was an easy decision to pick Joe Manausa Real Estate. Literally 24 hours and 7 days a week Kevin was available and more than happy to hold our hands through the entire process. He was very down to earth, which we were thankful for because a lot of realtors we've met seemed very pushy and only have a sale on their mind. We would recommend Kevin with Joe Manausa Real Estate to all our friends and family.
The service we have received from the entire Joe Manausa team has been nothing short of spectacular! In particular, Ashley, who is our agent has gone above and beyond her duties to make sure we had every question answered and every single step covered, she has been terrific! When they say they are available 25 hours a day and 8 days a week, they really do mean it. Would highly recommend Ashley as well as the entire team for your next real estate endeavor.
The whole team at JMRE is fantastic! They have such vast knowledge on the market in Tallahassee. Need a lender? They have you covered with reputable people who will react as needed throughout the process. You couldn't ask for a better agency to use to buy or sell your home!
As first time home buyers, starting the process of looking for a home was incredibly overwhelming and seemed like something we would end up dreading throughout the process...until we met girl Jordan from Joe Manausa. 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.
What a great experience! Kevin as well as all the others are on top of their game. They educated us on various topics as well as cleared up some misconceptions. They made every step easy and stress free including the inspection, survey, appraisal. and everything else. A+++++++++. We love our new home!
Caitlin Saunders is a great agent who listened to my wants and needs and found the perfect house for me. I met a number of team members who were all very professional and pleasant to work with. The whole transaction from start to finish went very smoothly. Thanks Cate!
These guys are truly Tallahassee Real estate market experts!!
I don't where to begin! I had the BEST experience with my house search and Kevin helped to make sure that I had a smooth process! I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends! Thank you again!
Ashley was our agent during the purchase of our home. We couldn't be happier! She's very knowledgeable and listens to your concerns. It's a great purchase experience!
Caitlin Saunders and her team were absolutely amazing! Caitlin helped us buy the home of our dreams and was available to me 24/7. Being a first time home buyer, it was important to me that I had someone who I trusted by my side through this process. She advocated for myself and my fiancé every step of the way and always had our best interest at heart. Thanks again Joe Manausa Real Estate! We are forever grateful
I highly recommend this office. I have personally used them for both a sale and a purchase transaction and they are truly top notch. They take care of everything, every step of the way!
Joe, Kevin, Ashley, and the rest of the team are phenomenal. They are educated on the market and always available. Id recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Tallahassee.
Joe Manausa realty was very helpful and professional. Lindsey Begue, and all members of the team, were quick to respond to all questions and concerns I had during the buying process.
I could not be happier with the service and attention I received from Lindsey at Manausa Real Estate! It had been 25 years since I purchased a home, and then did not have a realtor involved, so I didn't know what to expect. I recommend this agency - and this agent - without reservation! a Five Star team!
I needed a realtor who had time in their busy schedule to show me around homes in and around the Tallahassee area. And I found Joe Manausa Real Estate through the recommendation from a friend of a friend. I am so glad I called and got placed with Jason Madsen. As my realtor he exceeded my expectations of level of commitment. From the very first moment I met him, before we headed out to look at homes until even after I have closed on my new home, he has treated me like I was his number one client and was completely invested in my success. Jason is highly recommended by me and has my full trust that he will serve every one of his clients with the same greatness.
Alex at Joe Manausa real estate was a huge help to our buying our first home. He was diligent and always available. I would recommend him, or Manausa real estate, to anyone in the Tallahassee area! Truly a pleasure to work with
Can't wait to spend our first winter in Florida thanks to JMRE. Lindsey, Kevin, Ashley and Cay were a huge help!
I just want to say thank you so much to Ashley J. and also to Kevin and Joe Manuasa from being there through every step of the way from the home search, to financing, and of course to closing! Who knew at 24 I'd be closing on a house! You guys made this process so easy and I felt that I was in great hands throughout the whole ordeal. I have and will still be recommending you to everyone I know. Ashley I have heard horror stories from my sister who just closed about her realtor and I am so grateful to you for always being honest, always being available, making me feel like I was your only client, and most of all for caring about this experience with me. Thank you, and again YOU ARE THE BEEZNEEZ!
These folks are amazing. We're buying our first home and have been working with Jordan and Alex. They've been super responsive and took the time before we even looked at the house to explain what all the steps were, how the market was in town, etc. They couldn't have made it any easier. Cay in the office kept us on the straight and narrow with scheduling inspections, etc. THANK YOU ALL!
My husband and I were totally green going into buying our first home, and Jordan and Alex made the process a breeze. They helped educate us and were always available for questions whether in person, via email, or even the occasional text. The level of service offered by Joe Manausa Real Estate's agents is above and beyond anything I ever expected, and -- no exaggeration -- if I could give more than five stars, I would. Thank you!
I would definitely recommend Kevin and his team. They were beyond knowledgeable and helpful.
Kevin and Marcus were extremely professional and friendly. Highly recommended!
All of the agents at JMRE go above and beyond! I couldn't be happier! A++++++
I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate in general and with Lindsey Begue in particular. There were some major issues that needed to be fixed in the home we wrote an offer on, and Lindsey was able to work with the seller's realtor to come up with what was about as equitable of a solution as possible and both parties agreed to the suggestions with very little back and forth needed. I highly recommend these folks!
I received great service from Lindsey Begue at Joe Manausa Real Estate. She was responsive to all my many questions and kept me informed throughout the process of buying a home for the first time in 25 years. I'd not hesitate to recommend Lindsey to my friends and family.
My Fiancé and I have been working with Manausa group for the past few months. The team was patient and persistent and determined to help us find a home we loved. We currently are in contract! Could not be more pleased with our experience.
As a first time home buyer, I was really overwhelmed with trying to figure out and navigate the whole process. But, thanks to Joe Manausa Real Estate and Lindsey Begue, the process was smooth sailing! With Lindsey's help I narrowed down my biggest priorities for my new home - we did this through looking at a lot of homes that checked boxes on my ideal home list - and after weeks of looking (and never feeling rushed to decide), we found a great place in my ideal location, and better yet on the low end of my price range. Lindsey recommended the perfect offer to submit and after that she took care of almost everything else while keeping me updated throughout! I couldn't imagine my first home buying experience to going any better!

Overall, I couldn't imagine my first home buying experience going better!
Jordan has been nothing but great, he is patient and willing to make sure we find what we are looking for. My husband and I have 2 different views on what we are looking for in a house but Jordan has been able to find what we both are looking for. If your are looking for the best Jordan is the one. Make sure you ask for Jordan to assist you on your journey.
Joe Manausa Real Estate helped my wife and I purchase our first home. From start to finish, Alex, and at times Jordan, were there for us every step of the way. The entire team at JMRE is very pleasant to work with, and there is zero pressure to buy a home. They were able to listen to our wants and needs, and find the right house that worked within our budget. We thank you very much for your hard work and dedication! Should we buy or sell again in the future, we will definitely go through JMRE again!
I had an amazing experience working with Caitlin Saunders from Joe Manausa Real Estate. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions. She was extremely patient with me and explained the entire process. I can't recommend Caitlin and Manausa enough. I am so happy I found them!!
Everything about my first time home buying experience was amazing! I had lots of questions, and was generally ignorant about most of the process going in. The entire staff at Joe Manausa was kind and patient with me, and allowed me to fully understand what was happening each step of the way. Jordan was fabulous! She was extremely prompt in responding to messages, and really understood what we wanted (I think better than we did sometimes!). It immediately put me at ease knowing that she wasn't working for a commission. When we gave her our price range, she was respectful of it and didn't just throw us houses that met the top end only. Ultimately, she found the absolute perfect home for us, and even showed it to us 3 times over 2 days as we made our decision. I can't convey enough how grateful we are!
My husband and I were in town for 2 days to find a home. We're so glad we chose Joe Manausa as our realtors. We found our home and Jordan and Marcus met every accomodation to get things done in our short time frame. They went above and beyond our expectations!
Jordan and Marcus were top-notch! They explained everything every step along the way. We felt very comfortable and completely informed throughout the whole process. We highly recommend them to anyone!
I'd like to give a big shout out to Shannon Day and Jordan Scott of Joe Manasa realty for making my buying experience as easy as possible. They were available at all hours of every day and would recommend them to everyone!
I was extremely happy with my experience with Joe Manasa Realty. Shannon Day and Jordan Scott were amazing throughout the process meeting me at several different properties on my time and answering phone calls, texts, and emails as fast as I could send them. Would recommend them to everyone and I will definitely be using them in the future!
Awesome customer service! I had tons of questions and every one of them got answered with patience and honesty. Thank You!
Great people!!Helpful meeting and great information
We recently relocated to Tallahassee and worked with Cate Saunders at Joe Manausa Real Estate. Out experience with Cate was nothing short of five stars! Very responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Tallahassee area!
Hello everyone. This is to let everyone know that Michelle Manausa helped my wife and I find my wife's perfect home!!! Michelle took the time to understand what we needed for our family and was a sounding board through his process. She was thoughtful and thorough and helped us manage our decision making process. It was awesome to have her as our agent. You cannot to wrong choosing her and Joe Manausa Real Estate!
My fiancee and I just got done with the first time home buyer presentation with Alex, and it was so great! We knew some of the things he told us, but for all of those things, there were at least two more we didn't know. It has given us such a great path towards home ownership, and we look forward to continuing to work with your company until we find a home that fits us.
Can't thank Shannon from Joe Manausa Real Estate enough for helping my fiancé and I find our home. He was patient with our pickiness and persistent in looking and catering to our crazy schedules. He is such a kind person and truly made our first home buying experience a smooth and great one for us! Thanks Shannon!
Great staff and a great business concept. We couldn't have asked for a more smooth process.
Great people and awesome customer service! I appreciate Alex taking the time to clearly explain all of my options in the home biying process. If your are looking to purchase a home, I would definitely recommend you go here.
It was a pleasure meeting with Ashley and Alex last weekend. They were very helpful and informative about what to expect over the next few months when it comes to purchasing a home. I look forward to working with them!
Kevin Milligan is an outstanding representative for Manausa Real Estate and a true asset to their team. Kevin is concerned only about your goals as an investor or a homebuyer, while at the same time he ensures you are aware of all the available inventory on the market. Kevin will ensure you make an informed decision that suits you both economically and emotionally. I look forward to continuing to do business with Kevin and Manausa Real Estate as a whole. Ean Sadler may be Kevin’s most important asset when it comes to making meaningful first contact with a potential client. Ean made sure that Manausa Real Estate accommodated my schedule for all meetings and as a busy person this was extremely important to me. He was also very easy to contact whether it be by text, email, phone call, social media, etc. Ean was always there to answer my question right away or immediately begin to find the answer. It was extremely comforting in the midst of an already nerve racking decision to buy my first house. I highly recommend Ean and Manausa Real Estate.
Marcus has been so helpful and supportive through this process. He and Alex walked us through the house buying process and housing market. Marcus has been available whenever we have needed him!
My wife and I have been working with Ashley Jacquin and Kevin Milligan and will hopefully be closing on a house in the next month and a half. So far it's been a challenging experience as first time home buyers, but that has been no fault of the agents that have been helping us. Hopefully everything continues to go well and I'll be back here soon writing a glowing overview of the whole process.
I am currently in the buying process and Jordan Scott as been very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Whenever I have a question I get a quick response and overall this process has been made very easy for me thanks to Jordan.
First time buying a home and so far things have been going great. Ashley has been very helpful in the process and is doing everything she can to make sure things get done in a timely manner. She has even gone out to check behind workers who are supposed to be fixing items that were included on the home inspection. My only concern with the process was that we ordered and completed all of the inspections before the appraisal was completed. That said, the delay in the appraisal was a failing on the part of my lender and not anything Ashley or her team could control.
Lindsey Begue was great to work with and helped the process of buying a new home as stress free as possible.
My husband and I just closed on a house and we worked with Shannon Day. Shannon was very professional and thorough throughout the entire process. He took a real hands on approach and worked well with all partners involved in making this happen. Before we even knew something needed to be handled, it was! Thank you for outstanding customer service and for making something that could easily have been overwhelming, a breeze
I highly recommend JMRE! Andy on the sellers side was extremely helpful, very quick to respond, and most importantly, got my house under contract in less than 90 days. Then, on the buyers side, Cait was awesome to work with. Both agents worked tirelessly (sometimes until close to midnight) to help my wife and I sell our home and then buy the house of our dreams.

I have nothing but great things to say about working with Manausa Real Estate, specifically the Buyer team. Throughout the whole process, we felt supported and educated. Ashley and Lindsey (realtors) were always available to answer questions and send more information and became friends. In fact, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have even considered homebuying in the first place. They were always available to schedule showings, too. I would 100% recommend working with the Buyer Team.

I had the best experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate. Kevin was so easy to work with and his customer service was superb. He helped me find the perfect home, which wasn't an easy feat! After I was under contract, Cay provided excellent customer service by answering many questions, ordering inspections or surveys, and making sure I was ready for closing. We even closed early! I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin Milligan and Joe Manausa Real Estate for anyone looking to buy a home.
I have known Alex Nunez personally for many years and would highly recommend him for all your real estate needs. Although I have not had the opportunity to work with him yet, he would be my first call if I ever wanted to sell my home or was in the market for a new home. You won't be disappointed.
Absolutely a great experience working with Alex Nunez. I had worked with several other realtors previously before being introduced to Alex. Unlike the other realtors, I felt like Alex was working for me, not just looking for a quick sale. Alex was the only realtor who really listened and cared about what I was looking for in my price range. Overall it was a really smooth process.
Working with Joe Manausa and his team has been an absolute pleasure from day one. I can't imagine working with a more knowledgeable or effective team of realtors. They REALLY have this Internet stuff down to a science. Prepare to be blown away!
I feel so grateful to have come in contact with such a knowledgeable, professional and FAST moving Realtor.
Andrea Chapman is the best, she does not miss a beat. She thinks of everything. She keeps in contact with her clients. While you are sleeping she is thinking of stuff you need to know and is on her computer emailing you. I love her to death. She is a gem. She is really a people person. I think everyone needs a Andrea Chapman.
Bill was outstanding throughout the entire process. The professionalism, service and advice he rendered was first class. We are extremely satisfied and would definitely rely on him again for our future real estate transactions.
Everyone at Joe Manausa was excellent and extremely helpful throughout the entire home buying process.
We worked with Shannon Day on our recent purchase of a home. Shannon was very professional from moment one and worked hard throughout the process to ensure that the process went as smooth as possible. He worked well with all partners involved in the process which was very helpful from the buyers perspective. Things were handled before we even knew they needed to be handled.
So often one hears the phrase, "We're here for you." Jennifer Chapman is one of the few who makes that statement true. Her professionalism coupled with a determination to accomplish what is the best possible outcome for her client make her stand out from other realtors. Taking time to walk me through the process and keeping me informed every step of the way was invaluable to me as a first time home buyer.
Thank You Shelley for all your help in buying a house. You are a professional, personable and caring. You helped us with everything including getting through loan difficulties with our banks. I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a realtor who will your hand through the process, explain everything in a calm and sensitive manner and answer all our questions. Shelley you are the best!
After following various real estate companies in the Tallahassee area for two years, we decided to go with Joe Manausa Real Estate. Joe and Michelle Manausa are very knowledgeable and have a good handle of the real estate market in Tallahassee.
Stacie Boone provided the most professional, EXPERT Customer Service that we have ever had. We have had the pleasure of buying homes in the past, but this was by far the most enjoyable. Stacie’s professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile for my family was first rate.
My boyfriend and I just purchased our first home through Joe Manausa Real Estate and our realtor was Eva Armstrong. Eva was there every step of the way, sending us update e-mails, reminding us of steps that needed to be taken, and answering any questions we might have, no matter how trivial. She’s patient, understanding, and she knows everything that needs to be done with buying or selling a home.
I would like to commend Joe Manausa Real Estate Manausa and agent Robin Jerkins for a very professional and positive real estate purchasing experience. Robin was very helpful and instrumental in helping us locate prospective properties. I always felt confident that we were in good hands and have no hesitation recommending Robin and Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone considering buying or selling a home.
Mr. Novak is a highly experienced Realtor who needed all his skills dealing with a difficult client (me) in helping us buy a home. Jay is very competent in using modern computer skills to enhance the process. In short- Jay Novak is a terrific dedicated professional with high integrity and years of experience.
Damian Costantino and the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate Manausa & Associates provided excellent service for us in finding our new home. Damian helped us find a great home in an excellent school district. He was always available for questions and kept us informed throughout the process. We are so glad to be in Tallahassee and we would recommend Damian and his team to help anyone find a home.
We had a wonderful experience working with Damian at Joe Manausa Real Estate. As first time home buyers, we were nervous about the process. Damian was really supportive, helpful, and accessible. He helped us stay under our budget and we love our new house!
Damian Costantino and Robin Jerkins were so amazing throughout this life-changing adventure. We came up from Miami looking for a house and they bent over backwards to help us. We found our dream house and they made sure we got it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Joe Manausa Real Estate buyer agent- Jay Novak has made the buying experience very smooth. When the property appraisal came lower that the contract price; Jay negotiated with the seller and got the appropriate price. He answered all my questions and concerns with reasonable time.I will recommend Jay to my friends when they plan to buy a house. Thanks Jay for all your help!
Titus always pursued what worked best for us. He was honest with his opinion and helped us to find what we wanted and what we needed. Titus was very patient with our long search (our fault!) for the perfect house. In the end, he found it and got us a great deal on our first home.
I highly recommend Stacie Boone and her team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. She made a stressful process as smooth and easy- and even enjoyable- as possible. If you are buying a home in Tallahassee you should call Stacie Boone. She’s the best!
A very professional approach to the whole home buying experience. Jay Novak was helpful and instrumental in us finding our dream retirement home. He was available to answer questions at all hours of the day and went the extra mile to make the experience pleasurable.
Jennifer did a great job finding me the perfect home in the price range that I was comfortable with. She was easy to work with, and she also was very flexible as I have a hectic schedule with very little available free time. I would use her again and recommend her to a friend. Thanks again for everything Jennifer and I love my new house.
Jennifer helped us find our dream home within a week, and move in a month later. She was extremely helpful with every part of the home-buying process, from targeting our search, to the negotiations, inspections and closing. She’s knowledgeable, detail-oriented and a problem-solver. Thank you, Jennifer, you made our home-buying experience the best it could be!

Andrea Chapman was just fabulous and kind. She was the best realtor among my experience. She had prepared everything I need in a really considerate manner and I have everything I need from her immediately on the spot. Definitely I want to suggest her to someone who wants to buy or sell a house.
My husband and I are so thankful that Robin Jerkins was our realtor. We’ve never had such a wonderful realtor before. She was not out to sell us any specific piece of property; she wanted to find the right one for us. She wanted to figure out what would make us both as happy as possible (which was not easy).
Robin Jerkins has been fantastic to work with. She is very thorough, patient and hard working. We would very much recommend anyone looking to buy a home in Tallahassee to work with Robin.
Robin was outstanding throughout the entire process. The professionalism, service and advice she rendered was first class. We are extremely satisfied and would definitely rely on her again for our future real estate transactions.
My husband and I were extremely pleased with Jason’s performance. We greatly appreciated his flexibility with scheduling and his eagerness to find us the home we were looking for. Jason went above and beyond to meet our needs and even reached out to people in North Carolina to ensure that our home there successfully closed on time. Again, we have nothing but good things to say about Jason. We will definitely recommend his services to family and friends.
Robin Jerkins was more than helpful in assisting my mother and me with purchasing our first home. Thank you for your help with us in moving in, in the 45 days as promised.
Jason Madsen is a very patient and helpful realtor. He was always available to answer questions night or day by text or phone, and if he did not know the answer he would go out of his way to find it. We would recommend Jason to anyone looking to buy a home.
Stacie has been an exceptional agent in helping finding a home to purchase, in all areas of what I wanted. When purchasing a home, she has been very helpful in moving the process along.
No one is more genuinely friendly and polite than Buddy at Joe Manausa Real Estate is. I’m not one of those people who looks at three houses and chooses one. I must have seen forty properties. During my search it was clear from the advice Buddy gave me about certain locations, structures, situations, etc. that he had my best interest at heart.
Phenomenal job!!! Damian Costantino at Joe Manausa Real Estate helped me throughout the entire process, always answering any questions that we had. Damian even helped me throughout the process of applying for my VA Loan. My wife and I were extremely happy with his hard work. We will definitely refer business to Damian in the future. JOB WELL DONE!!!
Andrea Chapman, with Joe Manausa Real Estate, has been an absolute delight to work with. She was very active in our search and went out of her way to make it easy on us. Once we found the home, she was on top of making sure that we had all of our documents completed. She made sure that we knew dollar amounts and information up front so there were no surprises.
My wife and I were very pleased with our Realtor Damian Costantino at Joe Manausa Real Estate. He was prompt about providing lists of prospective homes and price ranges that would interest us. We would recommend Damian to any party wishing to buy or sell property.
Eva Armstrong, at Joe Manausa Real Estate, was our real estate agent for the Tallahassee area. She spent time with us when other agents with other agency’s ignored us. I wanted you to know that she was professional and very knowledgeable at all times, funny, sweet and kind to us also. We now have a friend in Tallahassee that we appreciate very much. Best of luck to her in the future.
About the Tallahassee Real Estate Newsletter - I found it very helpful in the time preceding the listing of our home for sale and contemplating the construction of a new home. With our house scheduled to close soon, I think I will pay a little less attention. But this has been most helpful; a great service.
Robin Jerkins of Joe Manausa Real Estate was always available at anytime to show houses. Very professional & approachable. I felt like she always had our best interest in mind.
Choosing Damian at Joe Manausa Real Estate as our realtor, to help us buy our home was one of the best decisions my husband and I made together. When we made an offer on what is now our current home, he sat down with us and explained every single document we signed so it was clear to us. We always felt he gave us honest advice and that we could trust him, and we recommend him for your house buying needs. Damian: Thank you so much for all your hard work!
I would recommend Damian Costantino and Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking for a stress free buying/ selling process and professionalism!
We purchased a home in Woodrun & found working with Will Roberts at Joe Manausa Real Estate a pleasure. He kept us informed along the way & answered all our inquiries in ready reply. Thanks so much!
Damian, thank you for all of the time, effort, & consideration that you put into the home buying process with us. Your help & guidance certainly made this an enjoyable experience as we purchased a home we know we will love! You are a great realtor! Thanks again!
I was one of the worst kind of clients. Hard to get in touch with, financing issues, picky, and only interested in a very specific area that most would say was out of my price range. Andrea from Joe Manausa Real Estate persevered for over two years and found the perfect house in the perfect area in my price range, and it even came with a pool. Even after spending two years to get to this point, Andrea put my interests above closing the sale and made sure I was protected. We love the house Andrea! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
We worked with a couple other realtors with disappointing results, then we found Ben Soto at Joe Manausa Real Estate. He listened to us and understood what we were looking for. It turned out there were several hurdles to overcome before closing on our property, and he exceeded our expectations with all the work and effort he put forth in helping us with every step. We will definitely and strongly recommend him to anyone we know, and will not hesitate to call him if we shall need a realtor in the future.
Eva is sincere, efficient, and knowledgeable in her role as a realtor. She always went the extra mile to provide outstanding service with limited stress on both occasions when I purchased and sold a home. I strongly recommend Eva and the Joe Manausa Real Estate Team as one of the best in the real estate industry.
I am a first time home buyer and I had a lot of questions. Alex answered all of them thoroughly, some of them more than once. He was professional, always supportive, and informative. He went out of his way to help me meet deadlines and fought the good fight regarding needed repairs when I met resistance from the sellers. He was always patient and calm. He is knowledgable about Real Estate and Tallahassee. I can't say enough good things about Alex Nunez as my realtor. I am recommending him to everyone I know and anyone I meet who is in need of a Realtor/Broker.
Right from the start at Joe Manausa Real Estate, we knew finding my mother her new home in Tallahassee was going to be great! Soon as we acquired our realtor Kevin Milligan, we felt so confident we were going to learn enough about the area and pick the right location and best neighborhood for my mother. Soon as we met Kevin in the office, we sat in the conference room right in front of a large screen computer and utilizing our budget and our specific area of interest he discussed and gave us enough info about each property and helped us weed out all the houses we didn't even need to waste our time to see. I've never seen this process before in purchasing property and we have purchased a lot. We were so impressed at how much he listened and cared about our time and wanted to get us right in the right property! Can't say enough about Kevin, but the best realtor we have ever dealt with!
Alex Nunez was a pleasure to work with. He was adamant about ensuring we understood every step in the process, and were properly prepared at each juncture. He was proactive in his search that led us to the own we bought, and he was patient and knowledgeable with out questions and concerns all along the way.
Eva was wonderful to work with during our home purchase. She is dedicates and has passion for what she does. She knows the market and helped us get a great deal on our home. She understood our needs and made our home buying experience easy.
Incredible agency!!! I used Kevin Milligan to help my family relocate to Tallahassee and could not possibly be happier with the extremely high level of service, ability to negotiate, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, we found a house that had a lazy listing agent and I needed to move quickly. Kevin and his team took on the challenge and we closed in less than 3 weeks, including having the seller install a new roof!!! These guys are an A+ organization that just simply get the job done and it's done right! I would HIGHLY recommend using them.
Joe Manausa Real Estate was awesome in finding my new home and they made the closing flawless. My realtor, Kevin Milligan did a fantastic job in finding a home that I was looking for. He was available whenever I had questions or when I found a property that I wanted to look at. Once Kevin knew the requirements I wanted in a house; he was very aggressive in looking and locating properties for me to look at. I am very happy with the house that I purchased and the support that Kevin and Joe Manausa gave me.
I worked with Alex Nunez out of Manausa Realty and I cannot recommend him more highly. I'm a 25 year old first time home buyer who knew nothing beyond what my parents knew. 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! :)
Jay was very patient with us during the 7 months it took us to complete our relocation here from Georgia. He also found a myriad of houses for us to view even as our " must haves" changed. I also enjoyed Joe's newsletter which was truly informative.
Kevin was amazing . . . even working through my difficult changes in the contract and financing . . . and he got it done in short order with no missteps. My disaster should have cost two weeks or more (Or losing my opportunity to purchase this home) but he and the mortgage company kept the delay to only two days. He was amazing and was attentive not only to me, the buyer, but also considerate of the sellers needs. Everyone was pleased. Kevin is the kind of guy you want to have as a friend . . . :)
Jasmine McIntyre was fantastic - beyond extra mile - and the firm offered support for questions I had relative to overall issues. First class organization. As a side note my son, Winston III - who will be living in the condo while at FSU, was a friend of Joe's daughter at Leon before moving to Monticello.
Kevin and the rest of the team at Manausa was wondeful during the whole process -from being very informative on the process up front, to being very patient and perceptive to our desires, to negotiating us a great deal on our home. 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!
Joe Manausa Real Estate is a great company to use from start to finish. All their employees are actively involved when needed to help with certain areas. 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.
Alex Nunez is the consummate professional. He is courteous and knowledgeable regarding properties and the process needed to offer a contract to seller and to close the sale. He responds quickly to questions. Alex made our recent home purchase in Tallahassee pleasant and easy from start to finish.
I want to acknowledge the exceptional service that Jasmine gave during the process of purchasing my townhome. She was able to find and negotiate a home that was in was my price range. 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.
We could not be happier with the service provided by Manausa Real Estate. From the first minute we stepped in the door to meet with Michelle Manausa, we felt taken care of and valued. We instantly felt confident she was going to help us find our dream home.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.
Thank you again for the well wishes in regard to our home purchase. The process of filing paperwork and completion of the closing was very professional. In regard to our realtor Ms Jasmine McIntyre we cannot say enough about her professionalism, kindness, sincerity and just an all, around good person. When we spoke to Ms Jasmine she provided us with the right homes to view and when we found our home she stayed with us and provided us with various vendors needed to complete our home requests. Ms Jasmine is a wonderful person and in our opinion went beyond the realms of "just" a realtor. Ms Jasmine is a true angel on earth.
Our realtor was amazing. Found us a house in a week, were moved in within a month. Very attentive and responsive. Very informative on the process, which eased the stress of the process.
Joe and Michelle Manausa were great to deal with on both the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. They were able to sell our house in less than 3 weeks! Best of the best!
Joe sold our home in 3 weeks! Before placing it on the market, he sat down with us and discussed our pricing options based on when we wanted our home to sell. We were impressed with the professional quality photos he took, and especially his use of a drone to get aeriel shots of our home.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.
Michelle was very professional yet personal. She quickly picked up on what my husband and I wanted out of our home and was able to find houses that matched these needs. We looked at many houses prior to making an offer and she was very patient and understanding during the process. Once we made an offer she negotiated and understood the market well ensuring we got a fair price for our home. From the first time we talked to Michelle until we signed the final papers she was always quick to respond and we always felt like we had great communication with her and her office. We would highly recommend Michelle and all of Joe Manausa Real Estate and would happily use them again!
My wife and I selected Michelle as our buyer's agent for our first home purchase in Florida. Michelle was helpful and very patient throughout the entire buying process, which lasted over 7 months. She is very responsive and always willing to show properties (even in the rain). If we buy another property, we will use Michelle and Joe Manausa Real Estate again.
Our agent, Kevin Milligan of Manausa Realty was the consummate professional throughout the home buying process. Months prior to our arrival in Tallahassee, he corresponded with us and kept us abreast of what we could expect on the local market and of the things we needed to do upon arrival. His knowledge of the area combined with his competency with the process made our experience painless. We were able to find our dream home and make an acceptable bid within a couple of days. From that point on, he expedited the process and answered our questions through the closing date. We would recommend the Mauausa Team without reservation.
When I was first looking for a home, I was probably like you. I’d received so many business cards, print ads and recommendations from friends that I felt like I was drowning in a sea of real estate agents. Who do I pick? What if I choose wrong? I only get one shot….Then I met Lindsey and all of my uneasiness was put to rest at that precise moment. Immediately, I was immensely impressed by her tenacity. She made it a total priority that I got the home of my dreams. Her vision and goals were in complete lock-step alignment with my own. She guided me through the whole process and made what would other-wise be a logistical nightmare into a surprisingly pleasant experience. She put me in the house of my choosing for well-under asking price due to her bulldog-like negotiation skills. Many thanks to her and the Joe Manausa Real Estate crew. If this review were any more glowing, it’d be radioactive. I have some newly-wed friends who will be looking for a home soon. You can be sure that I’ll be sending them to Lindsey… and throwing them a life raft in that vast, deep ocean of real estate agents. John C., Home owner
Knowing absolutely nothing about purchasing a home, I walked in the door of Manausa Real Estate and was promptly introduced to John Bozeman and Kevin Milligan. These guys really know their trade, helping me define my price range and area of interest. They took the time to help me understand the concepts of individual home value/equity over time, and the statistical buying/selling trends and rates for different parts of Tallahassee. Fast forward a few weeks, and I'm sitting pretty (or at least stress-less), waiting to close. Putting in an offer on a home was painless, (with John and Kevin handling the paperwork smoothly, yet still stopping to explain the fine print.) Each step along the way is outlined in advance: from pre-approval to viewings, offers, financing, inspection, appraisal, and closing. Manausa Real Estate's website has an MLS search engine that rivals even the biggest internet names. Don't see your dream house listed yet? Trace the outline of where you want to find a home, and define the amenities you want. Their website will send you daily emails as soon as any new house hits the market that meets your parameters, making sure you stay ahead of any other potential viewers/bidders. Manausa doesn't just want you to find a house, they ultimately strive to make you a more educated consumer. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a family looking to upgrade into something larger, or trying to find that perfect home to retire into, Manausa Real Estate has the tools you need to confidently pursue your goal.
This is the 3rd time I am going through this process of buying a home and this is the WAY IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE. Alex is very knowledgeable about all processes that go along with this important tedious process. Alex is also very professional and easy to get along with. He took his time to make sure we were all on the same page. I am grateful to have had this awesome experience and plan to use Alex again for all my future home buying/selling needs.
I was a first time home-buyer and I worked with Stacie Boone throughout the entire process. She was so wonderful to work with - always quick to respond and give great advise. She was awesome! I've since recommended her to another friend and she also helped them buy their first house! I highly recommend Stacie Boone at Joe Manausa Real Estate!
Great experience. I always felt that my interests were the primary driver and never felt I was imposing. Since I was relocating, I needed a concentrated effort, and Kevin Milligan could not have been more attentive, devoting several days taking me to many, many listings. More than the time devoted to looking at homes, I valued Kevin's pre screenings, which kept us focused on workable solutions and avoided homes that did not meet our criteria. Definitely recommend.
I am a first-time home buyer who is about to close on a house that I found and bought with the assistance of Joe Manausa's realty firm. I chose them firm because I wanted an inexpensive house, and I didn't want to be pressured to buy above my goal. My agent, Garrett Jacks, was very helpful and accessible. He began by giving us a lot of information about home buying and the market in Tallahassee. He did find additional listings that he thought would work for us. I did not feel any pressure to select any particular house, although we talked about the pros and cons of various houses and how the financing could work to our benefit. He was able to help us make an offer that reflected the market, and when we suggested an alternative to the contract, he was helpful in getting changes made. I feel as though I got a lot of help in finding and buying a house that was beneficial without being coercive. I'm pleased with the process and the result. And the firm's closing specialist is assisting with the closing, so I feel optimistic about that also.
I would definitely tell you to give Eva Armstrong a call! She has went way beyond to help us and put us in contact with other people to help us as well. Will be telling all my friends about what a great Real Estate company Manausa is and how much they will do for you! Eva is a really nice and easy to talk too ,you will be happy with her service!!
Stacie Boone is the best realtor ever! She was very patient and understanding of our family's interests. She found our perfect home in no time! Thanks Stacie for an amazing experience with home buying!
I love working with Eva Armstrong. She is very knowledgeable and professional.
Eva Armstrong is a fantastic realtor. She immediately responded to my urgent need for a new home and worked tirelessly to help me find the best location. I was impressed not only by her quick action, but by her professionalism and understanding of my family's needs. She made me feel like her first priority and the entire process of buying my home was completely painless. Thank you, Eva!!
I had the great pleasure to work with Eva Armstrong. She is a true professional, quick to respond to my questions or requests. I hope to work with Eva in the future on another investment property.
We have such a great realtor in Lindsey Begue! She was very attentive to what we were looking for and found us the perfect home for our family! She was so very helpful, answered all of our questions, and advocated for our best outcome in the purchase. We are incredibly grateful to have had such an awesome home buying experience!
My wife and I just relocated to the Tallahassee area and were completely clueless when it came to who to talk to and where to look. We stumbled upon Manausa Real Estate by a search like many do and we were immediately connect with Garrett Jacks as our buying agent. Garrett, along with his whole team, were extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the real estate market in the area. The team was consistently available to reach out to and to ask questions with. I highly recommend the Joe Manausa realty team, especially my realtor, Garrett Jacks. I will be using this team again when it comes time to sell.
Our experience with Alex was tremendous. He stuck by our sides even when certain things had nothing to do with him. When me and my husband got discourage he motivated us to stay positive. He made one of our biggest dream come true. Alex is someone that not just pushes you to buy anything, but actually put his self in our shoes. He also not only sold us a home , but acted like he were the buyer. He made us feel like family rather then a client. Thanks to Alex he truly made this company a (5) star business. We in society need more people like him. Don't matter what time it was he would always respond back to us even if he was with his own family. I don't think we could of done this with out Alex. And definetly when we are ready to purchase our second home he will be the first one we call. Alex you are a BLESSING .
I worked with Stacie Boone on purchasing my first home. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the entire Tallahassee Area.
Me and my wife moved to Tallahassee from Miami 2 years ago for job purposes, we finally thought about buying a home in tallahassee,,but being from south florida..it had to have a pool and there are not a lot of pool homes on the market..after lots of research we decided to contact Joe Manausa Real Estate...Wow what a great company to deal with, especially agent Stacie Boone....our agent, she was well versed in the areas and the type of homes for sale, and not matter that time of night we had a question, she would always respond promptly .in 1 1/2 weeks she found us the perfect home with a pool and 1/2 acre of land...we are very fortunate to have stacie as our agent and a great team of Joe Manausa Real Estate..we closed 3 weeks ago...thanks Stacie..and the team of Joe Manausa Real Estate.
THANK YOU SOOO much Nikky for all your hard work & diligence. I'm sorry things didn't work out, but I believe ALL things happen for a reason. I'm planning to look at 2 rentals Friday, and I'm good with renting for now. When I'm in a position to purchase I would VERY MUCH like to work through you. Your positive energy and outlook is refreshing. You have been SO much help to me as I make this transition in my life. I wish you the VERY BEST in all that you do, good health, and much happiness. I will contact you when I get settled in somewhere and, hopefully, we will do business down the road. I look forward to the tutorials via your website. Wishing you the best in EVERY THING!!! Robert
I just closed on my first home yesterday. Jason Madsen went above and beyond to help me through the process!
We had the best experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate. Kevin and Lindsey were outstanding and helped us find the perfect home. After we were under contract, Cay provided excellent service by answering many questions and by making sure we were ready for closing. Communication was superb and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to use Joe Manausa Real Estate for my next home purchase.
it provide excellent services!
I was contacted by a Realtor from Manausa when I signed up to use the web-sight. A friend had recommended the sight to me because it was very accurate, and up to date. I was contacted immediately by a Realtor named Andrea Chapman. Andrea, was very well versed in the process of home buying. Overall I'd say the process went smoothly. It was my first time buying a house (as I was often reminded), but I'd definitely recommend this company to others. If you have a VA loan they know what they are doing, and they were very veteran friendly. Closing went smoothly though it had been delayed a couple of times I feel like they were on top of everything. It also helped because Joe Manausa's brother is the real estate attorney and the closing happens at his law firm. Everything at the firm went smoothly and was explained very clearly. For my first experience buying a home I'd give them an A-. They spelled out things very clearly and helped us feel at ease.
Moving from Texas, we first contacted Joe because of his blogs about various matters in the local and Florida real estate market....value vs cost of a swimming pool, for example. They helped us set up electronic alerts when houses meeting our criteria came on the market. When we got to Tallahassee we had narrowed our choices down to 5 homes; saw them all in one day; and had an accepted offer by sunset.Michelle and the entire staff have gone much more than the extra mile, several times, to help us work through the details of an out of state move.
Can't say enough excellent things about their commitment to serving us.
We recently purchased a home using Joe Manausa Real Estate. Our realtor was Jasmine McIntyre, she was the best we ever have worked with. Jasmine did an excellant job helping us getting everything completed in a timely manner. We were able to go from offer to clsing in three weeks. Mrs. McIntyre is very professional and customer service focused. We highly recommend Jasmine and Joe Manausa Real Estate if you are looking to purchase a home or if need to close on a home quickly.
Thank you Jasmine and Joe Manausa.

My wife got in touch with Alex Nunez by calling about a house that he had listed and he found out we did not have a realtor in Tallahassee. We gave Alex a list of criteria that I'm sure was longer than most and he found us a bunch of houses that fit. We looked at about 16-18 houses and Alex was extremely helpful and patient with us. We even went back to a couple of houses multiple times to help us make up our minds. Once we finally decided on one, his analysis of the current market conditions was fantastic and he talked us through the options we had during the negotiation process. Throughout the entire home buying process, Alex was on top of everything and his communication with us was excellent. We never felt uneasy or kept in the dark about anything. He recommended people and companies to use for inspections and appraisals and he even helped us iron out some kinks with our lender. I can honestly say that he went above and beyond in every way, even to the point of making arrangements for our pets during our signing. Alex never made us feel like we were burdening him, although I'm sure we weren't some of his easier clients to please. He certainly made it his priority to make sure we got what we wanted and we were totally happy with the service he provided.
They have the best web site and real estate information I have ever seen in the industry. They publish more information on the industry and the Tallahassee market than any other Broker I have known.If you want to be educated on the Tallahassee and Florida Real Estate market, this is the site to look at.
Just went through a very patience trying process of purchasing a home, but my agent did a great job taking care of everything and made it as painless as possible for me. Highly recommended.
All the expertise and guidance that Andrea Chapman provided during the purchase of our new home, from the first viewing to closing, was exceptional! We greatly appreciate all of her efforts. THANKS ANDREA!
Andrea Chapman did a great job helping us buying an investment house. I would also like thank Joe Manausa whom we have never met. We really appreciate his analysis as the expert helping us determining the offering price. Thanks Andrea and Joe!
I suppose buying a home for the first time can be stressful, but we were lucky to have Irena Jaroszynska guide us through it and we ended up in the house we wanted. I first found the Manausa group through the MLS search on the website, and I was unsure of how to even begin the home buying process. After we met with Irena, I looked up her biography and figured who wouldn't want a Master of Physics to work with. We had a short deadline for finding a house, a limited area of interest, and a small budget, but she was able to find us the perfect house. Even through all of our second guessing and almost giving up, Irena worked with us to get through the negotiations and purchasing. Thanks Irena!
Our realtor, Jay Novak, did an exceptional job helping my wife and I purchase our home. While it took nearly 8 months before we finally bought our house, Jay remained incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the process. I've already recommended him to several of our friends, and I'm sure we'll be calling him again when we're ready to purchase our next home. Thanks so much, Jay!
Andrea Chapman was always available for plenty of showings and great advice. Thanks for the help Andrea!
Our realtor Eva Armstrong is WONDERFUL and FUN to work with!!!! She keeps you informed, listens to your concerns and makes you laugh! We HIGHLY recommend her!
Our experience with Century 21 was awesome. Our Realtor (Eva) was fantastic and communicated with us every step of the way which made our experience purchasing a home stress free.
We use Century 21 First Realty for all of our real estate transactions and have always been impressed with the degree of knowledge of thier real estate experts. Each transaction went very smoothly and I cannot reccomend then enough.
Loved working with Century 21 First Realty to buy my house.
We worked with Kevin but, the whole company was great. If we needed anything they all were so willing to provide help. This company knows exactly what they are doing and work really hard to find you your home! We moved from Tampa to Tallahassee not knowing anything about Tallahassee. It was also our first time buying a home. I called Kevin Wednesday night told and he made sure he met us that same night. He showed us a PowerPoint which was very informative, it made us understand the home buying process a lot more. Kevin guided us in the right direction with not just showing us homes but telling us how what we need to do in order to make sure we can get through this process as smoothly and quickly as possible. He showed us every area we wanted to see and we saw probably over 30 houses in less than a weeks time. Kevin is very personable and very informative. We were extremely nervous and a bit stressed at the thought of moving 5 hours away to a new area, getting married, going to Europe for our honeymoon and buying a house all within a month. We looked end of October and are now closing on our new home first week of December. We didn't think that it was even possible to buy a house so fast and be thousands of miles away during most of the process. But, we had Kevin and his teams help to guide us in the right direction and get everything we needed to make this process so smooth. There were things we wanted fixed with the house and Kevin really hustled to make sure we didn't have to worry. I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate. Wonderful team, at no point was anything confusing for us because we had them any time we had a question. Their team is extremely well organized and managed.
Great team! First working with Kevin to find a new home. Ron handled the listing of my old home and Lindsey got two offers - above asking price - over Thanksgiving weekend. Impressive!
Staci helped my wife and I buy our first home. I was afraid using a VA loan would complicate things, but she made it easy! She was always very responsive to our many, many questions throughout the process.
Kevin, Garrett, John, and Cay were a fantastic group of people to work with. They made the process of buying our home an enjoyable experience. Thank You ALL!!!!
We were lucky enough to find Joe and his team. They found the perfect house for us, negotiated a fair price, and were with us all the way through closing. We highly recommend Joe for all your real estate needs. In particular, Kevin and Cay really took the time to guide us through the home buying process. We couldn't have done it without either of them.
I really like the team approach -they've got experts in all aspects of home selling, and I'm now buying!
Great experience working with them, great team that works together to ensure that everything during the process of purchasing a home runs smoothly. From day one, they sat down with my husband and I to explain the process of purchasing our first home and what we ought to be looking for. I can say that next time I am ready to move and purchase a bigger home, I will definitely go with Joe Manausa Real Estate. All the employees are very helpful and always have a smile on their face ready to answer any questions. They are available 24/7 for any concerns that you may have.
Joe Manausa Real Estate truly has the best home search website in town! If you ever have the opportunity to work with their agent, Lindsey Begue, you’ll see first-hand how she genuinely listens to and cares about her clients. Lindsey has made several of my family member’s real estate dreams come true. I would highly recommend Lindsey and the Joe Manausa team.
The experience my husband and I had with Joe Manausa Real Estate was professional and satisfactory. We were contacted by Eva Armstrong immediately after our interest in finding a house. She was extremely helpful and patient with our home search and committed herself to finding us the best house for us. I would highly recommend Eva for anybody who is searching for a house soon!
There isn't enough space available to describe how happy my husband and I are that we chose Joe Manausa Real Estate to buy our first home. From our first introduction meeting to the closing, every person we dealt with at the Thomasville Road office was helpful, friendly, and infinitely patient when lending issues delayed our process repeatedly. Garrett and Cay especially provided expert knowledge and went the extra mile to help us when we had questions or concerns, even after hours and on the weekends. We would 100% go with this company again!
It was a pleasure to work with Lindsey and Garrett on a search for a home in Tallahassee. Their professionalism, resources such as their web site and financing, and most importantly their great listening skills to ensure that we found the right home for our family are to be commended. We came in on a Saturday morning and after discussion about what was important in our search Lindsey showed us over 10 properties on that same weekend and ensured that we had an offer on a home by Monday morning. I highly recommend the Joe Manausa team to anyone looking for an experienced team that knows the Tallahassee market inside out, focuses on important data in the search, and is able to deliver quick and superior expertise.
Miss Eva went above and beyond to help with any situation we had encountered. We would highly recommend this establishment for any and all realty needs.
I have been working with Kevin Milligan at Manausa and I have been impressed with his enthusiasm, knowledge of the area and willingness to help during the process of purchasing my home. I live in the Tampa Bay area and he has taken the time to attend two inspections for me and has quickly expedited communication with the seller about any concerns . I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the Tallahassee area. Thank you Kevin, I know you will continue to help me move as quickly as possible into my dream home.
Lindsey Begue was my agent,she listened carefully to my needs,my style and knew my time restraint. I was able to purchase a house without looking at it. We developed a close relationship quickly and I trusted her to make decisions for all the negotiation of my contract.
Lindsey was very helpful! Very recommended
We had a fabulous experience buying a second home with Stacie Boone at Joe Manausa Real Estate. We live out of the country but were interested in buying a second home in Tallahassee for use as a home base/retirement property. We were referred to Stacie by USAA and could not have been happier. She discussed our desires and came up with a list of homes that were strong contenders. Even though we were unable to locate a property that worked for us while on our vacation, she kept her eyes open and helped us locate the perfect place. She took supplemental photos so that we would could get a feel for the home even though we weren't there. We made an offer and she was able to assist us with closing, all while we were still overseas. The level of service we received was top notch and I would definetly recommend Stacie to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. Making such a large purchase can be stressful, especially if you are miles away but Stacie took all of the worry out of the process and helped us to get the perfect home for our family.
Just closed on my first home, and Kevin and Cay from Manausa Real Estate Group made it a great experience. Kevin, Cay, and the rest of the team made my home buying experience smooth and easy. From start to finish, I knew that they always had my family's interest in mind. We love our new house.
I have been working with Joe Manausa Real Estate and my realtor, Eva Armstrong for about five years. I buy rental properties and occasionally flip a property every now and then. Eva is an extremely knowledgeable, hard working real estate agent. She has helped me locate properties and is familiar with the intricacies of buying and selling properties through self directed IRA's. I can call her at anytime and she is there to show me a property. I appreciate all that she and Joe Manausa Real Estate bring to the table helping me though my transactions and highly recommend this group of professionals for your real estate needs.
Lindsey Begue! I went on a weekend vacation, and when I came back, she had a full price offer waiting for me along with an acceptance of my offer on a new house. Who sells and purchases within 48 hours??!! Also have a double closing only 10 days apart. Does it get any better?
My wife and I have had an awesome experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate. The market data and information on the website is the best of any I have seen. Michelle Manausa has served as both a buyers' and selling agent for us. Most recently, Michelle listed our house for sale, and we received an offer immediately (within 3 days). We highly recommend Michelle and Joe Manausa Real Estate if you are looking to buy or sell a home.
My experience with Eva Armstrong and the Joe Manausa Real Estate Agency has been a very pleasant one. They were a wonderful partner during our recent time of purchasing a new home and selling our former one. They went as far as selling our house while we were traveling in the Antarctica. All was done by electronics and everything went as well as could be expected. I appreciate their dedication.
Nikky Manausa with Joe Manausa Real Estate is one the best real estate agents we have worked with. Whether we needed to call out an Architect (which she did) to see if a modification could be done to a house before we purchased it or whether she needed to get other agents feedback on a house that we really liked, she has gone above and beyond to make sure she gets us in a house we will truly love. We have not found a house yet, but we don't worry about it because we know she is constantly looking on our behalf and trust her 100% to find is exactly what we will love!
Alex Nunez and the Joe Manausa Real Estate Team were outstanding! Alex listened to our needs and helped us find an amazing home with tons of character and charm. Our new home was bid on by multiple other buyers the first day it hit the market and I know we won that bidding war because Alex was quick to respond and a great negotiator . If you don't want to lose your dream home then hire Alex Nunez and the Joe Manausa Real Estate Team! A+ all the way!!!
Eva Armstrong with Manausa Real Estate is a true professional and she was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire transaction by provided us with prompt and personalized service. The "Deal" could have easily gone sideways, but for Eva's skills to bring all the parties together (including the Bank) and find a workable solution for everyone involved. I look forward to working with Eva Armstrong again. MAM
I found Manausa Real Estate online when I started my search for a home in Tallahassee. I live over 300 miles south and used the Internet extensively. One evening I found a house and requested more information. The next morning Garrett Jacks called me back and that call started an experience that was almost painless. When I finally met Garrett, his enthusiasm and knowledge put me at ease. The entire buying process went flawlessly thanks to Garrest and the team effort at Joe Manausa Real Estate. It had been 25 years since my last home purchase so Garrett patiently answered all of my questions, big or small. I put my trust in his ability and he did not let me down. I would gladly recommend the company and Garrett specifically to anyone looking to purchase a home in Tallahassee.
From pricing my house, to great photos and advice on when to put the house on the market, and seeing me all the way through to closing and finding my new home, Lindsey and Ron were outstanding! In fact almost the entire team helped me at various points so the team concept is one of the strengths of JMRE.
My realtor was Kevin Milligan, and in all honesty if I could give him 100 stars I would. He was absolutely exceptional to work with. From moment one I knew I was in the right hands and felt completely at ease with him. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attention to detail, very responsive to phone calls and emails, personable and just an overall really great guy. I am a single mother of two teenage daughters and even they loved him. The entire team at Manausa was a dream to work with; everything was scheduled well in advance and clearly communicated. If ever a question or concern they were always very quick to respond and follow up. Hands down, I could not have asked for a better home buying experience!
My husband and I had a great experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate and working with Kevin and Cay. We found a house fairly quickly using their website and Kevin helped make everything as painless as possible. We could not have asked for a smoother first time home buying experience.
As a first time home buyer, Joe Manausa Real Estate made the process a breeze! Kevin explained all the ins and outs about buying a home and made easy to understand. He was available any time and answered all our questions with ease. They made sure we had all the paperwork and inspections done so closing was no problem! Kevin did a awesome job and made us feel comfortable. I will use them again and recommend them for real estate needs.
My wife and I recently started looking into buying a house and decided to reach out to Joe Manausa Real Estate Agency for assistance. We have not regretted this decision for a moment since the search for our perfect house started. Their entire staff has been extremely pleasant and eager to please while covering all the small details that are important to us. They are very responsive and have never tried to push us in one direction or the other, they asked the right questions to get to know us and what we were looking for so that we could all work together on finding the house that would fit us best. Lindsey Begue has been our realtor since the beginning and I can’t say enough about how great she has been. While she has been there every step of the way, she could not do so without strong support from the rest of her team such as Cay, Kevin, and Marcus. The entire team has been VERY professional and courteous since day one, when we met at their office to plan out the search that landed us our perfect home. Thank you so much for everything,
John McCarroll
Kevin Milligan and Lindsey Begue of Joe Manausa Real Estate are a superb team to work with. Five minutes into our initial meeting I knew that I was going to stick with them and did not even consider anyone else. Lindsey was my point of contact through the entire house hunting process, she was responsive to all my queries and questions never letting me wait for more than 15-30 minutes before responding. I am an out of town buyer and she was most accommodating over the memorial day weekend as we ran around Tallahassee and saw 10 houses in 2 days. I am happy to say that we found one which I liked, made an offer, went through a counter offer process which was accepted and it was all accomplished over the long weekend thanks to her responsiveness and expert advice on the Tallahassee real estate market. Save yourself a lot of grief and go with Lindsey and the Joe Manausa team!
Both Kevin and Garrett were extremely helpful to my wife and I in our home buying experience. Being first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions about the process and Garrett was able to answer those questions along the way with a quick response time. The house we currently lived in was being sold and we had a very short amount of time to find a house that we wanted to make an offer on. Within just a couple of weeks, Garrett found us a house that had every single one of our "check list" items. I would highly recommend the team at Joe Manausa to anybody in the Tallahassee area looking to purchase a home!
If you are looking for a place to call home or if you know of anyone looking, you definitely need to contact Joe Manausa Real Estate. I started looking for a house to buy last October and met with John Bozeman and Kevin Milligan. My first visit went great, Kevin explained the process in buying a home which was a little overwhelming to me, but Kevin assured me that they would take care of all the foot work, which they did. Through the process Cay Newell kept me informed of what was going on and what I needed to do for before closing. If I had to buy a home all over again I would definitely use Manausa Real Estate again. Thank you John, Kevin and Cay!!!!
Excellent personalized service. John Bozeman is super responsive and easy to work with! I will certainly work with them in the future.
My husband and I had a great experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate and working with Kevin and Cay. We found a house fairly quickly using their website and Kevin helped make everything as painless as possible. We could not have asked for a smoother first time home buying experience.
I had not purchased a house in 25 years, so the smartest thing I did was to contact the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate when I decided to move to Tallahassee in February. By using their online site, I could choose from hundreds of houses from my own home to make the search easier. When I found the 5 or 6 houses I was really interested in, Garrett Jacks helped me tremendously. He showed me the houses I has chosen, then helped me make a great choice. I purchased my house in March, moved in April, and am living a wonderful new life in my new home! Thanks to everyone, especially Garrett, for making this major life change one of the best decisions of my life.
My husband and I worked with Michelle Manausa as our realtor. We are happily set up in our new home now and have to say that she is the reason we were able to find the perfect first home. We were all over the place when looking at different options, and as first time home buyers it was hard for us to stay realistic! Michelle definitely helped steer us in the right direction, was knowledgable, super responsive and accommodating to our schedules and was really patient when my husband and I went on tangents! We are very happy that we chose to work with Joe Manausa Real Estate, and definitely recommend others to do so!
I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate! Even though I have purchased real estate in the past, I was impressed by their market knowledge and process approach. From the first appointment, they blew my mind and set us on course to save serious money when we bought our new home.
Thanks for all of your help!
Why experience with Eva Armstrong with Joe Manausa Real Estate was stellar! Eva never lost patience with us trying to find the perfect property. When issues came up right at closing time (no fault of hers) she worked diligently to solve the problems going above and beyond what I would have expected from anyone. She was there to answer any questions we had whether it was about the process or the area. Thanks to Eva Armstrong for helping us find the perfect home and making the process seamless. I would recommend Eva to anyone and will certainly do so in the future!
I strongly recommend Realtor Kevin Milligan. He is a true professional. Kevin is smart, capable and energetic with extensive knowledge of the Tallahassee real estate market. The entire Joe Manausa real estate team is first-rate and customer friendly.
Michelle Manausa with Joe Manausa Real Estate was extremely helpful when we were looking for our home. We were first time home buyers and we were hesitant throughout the whole process, but Michelle put as at ease and walked us through each step. We were extremely picky about what we wanted in a home and Michelle kept working with us and trying until the right home was found. I highly recommend Michelle Manausa to anyone looking for a home, especially if you're a first time home buyer.
This is the best experience that I have ever had with a real estate company! My husband and I are in the process of selling a house in Albany, Ga and we are now buying a home here in Tallahassee, Fl. It was a complicated situation, but Garrett was very patient with everything, and he went above and beyond to find us our dream home and to help get us approved. I cannot recommend this company enough! It was and still is a real pleasure working with them.
Stacie Boone is the best! We were referred to her by a coworker that knew we were looking for our first home. We were nervous at first, especially the first time we looked at homes with Stacie; we were buying in an extremely competitive price range for Tallahassee. Stacie was extremely confident in both her abilities and her team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. After that first outing, Stacie was able to get a great read on what we were looking for. The next time she took us out, she took us to about eight different homes and three of them were perfect. She was kind and patient enough to take us out one more time after that to look at other homes before we were ready to make an offer on a home she had shown us earlier in the week. We made an offer on a Friday and we had an executed contract the following Monday. Stacie then provided us with a list of what we needed to handle and what she would take care of. She was extremely organized and it made the home buying process easier for us. When we hit a roadblock with our intended lender, Stacie was able to get us in with another lender. She was very reassuring that we were in great hands and we still closed on the house on time. We could not have asked or hoped for a better realtor. If we ever need to buy or sell, we're going with Stacie Boone. I don't think there are enough adjectives to describe how wonderful she truly is.
My husband and I bought our first home recently, and chose the Joe Manausa real estate company, and used Stacie Boone as our realtor. She was amazing to work with. She explained every step with patience (trust me, I had A LOT of questions) as most first time home buyers would. Not only did Stacie Boone save us $5,000 on our closing cost, but she helped us choose the right home, neighborhood, and of course school district that best fit our needs. She was very knowledgeable on every topic from different neighborhoods to what type of loan would best suit us financially. Whether you are a first time home buyer or not, Stacie is who I would recommend. We will definitely be working with her when it comes time for our next home purchase.
My experience with Manausa has been a good one. The staff was very professional and personable. The homebuyer presentation was super informative and the idea of having a team of experts on my side helped to ease my anxiety about the process. John was great to work with. He answered all of my questions and was always available to show the properties that I wanted to see. He also shared important facts that helped me understand more about the homebuying process. The overall experience with Manausa has been great thus far. Met with them mid-March, closing in mid-May.
Joe Manausa Real Estate has been very helpful, definitely with the guidance and assistant of Market Specialist John Bozeman. John Bozeman played a very important part in helping me to understand the step by step procedures on choosing and selecting on what soon to be my first home ownership. I recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to everyone who are first time buyers and even if you are looking for your next dream home. Thanks again for everything.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kevin throughout the entire home buying process. On day 1, he and Garrett (who is also great!) sat down with us and walked us through the fundamentals of home buying. From there, Kevin worked diligently with us to find our new home. He always answered our questions thoroughly and was always quick getting back to us. We highly recommend Kevin, Garrett, and the entire Joe Manausa team!!
Eva Armstrong went above and beyond to help us figure out all the details of buying our dream fixer-upper. We had lots of questions, and she was willing to work hard to find out the answers--all the while she treated us well. We are so excited about the house and grateful for such a good care during the process!
This review is for Kevin Milligan at Manausa Realty. I am a young widow with an 11 month old baby. I live in Atlanta, but decided to relocate to Tallahassee after my husband's death. My sister attends FSU, and this way I wouldn't live alone. It was my first time purchasing a home. I know absolutely nothing about realty, and had no idea how intensive the process is. Kevin was my saving grace.
I had several recommendations for realtors in the Tallahassee area sent to me by family. I decided to do my own research and came upon these reviews for Manausa Realty. I noticed that they were overwhelmingly positive and many of them were about a realtor named Kevin. I decided to give him a call. Now, I wasn't purchasing a particularly expensive house, and I'm very young. That combination would usually make me a less than desirable client, or at least less of a priority. Right away, I felt like a VIP client. I felt very comfortable that he would actually do real work FOR me, and for my interests, not his.
I can't describe to you how wonderful he is. He was in CONSTANT communication with me from start to finish, even when I had anxieties about the closing very late at night. He was well-researched on the homes he showed us, and I could tell he had actually put in work to find us a good fit. He was there for me every step of the way, and even took care of things that aren't necessarily the realtors responsibility. He made my life, and the purchase of this house, exponentially easier on me. I compare him to the other professionals employed throughout the process of buying the house, and the difference is stark. My mom, who has bought some 13 houses, was beyond impressed with him. It seems Kevin takes the dedication and commitment involved in being a member of the Navy and applies it to his job as a realtor.
There are really no words for me to describe how much I would recommend him. Really, he was fabulous. When our closing had a very slight hiccup (100% not his fault), we had to beg him to leave for the beach vacation with his wife that he was getting more and more late for. We were in the capable hands of Danny Manausa and the team at Manausa Law, but Kevin was determined to be there for us.
I feel like people reading this are going to think this review is too good to be true, but I can't tell you how grateful I am to Kevin and what a great person and realtor he is. I don't even understand how he can take such care and time for each individual client. I felt like his top priority. He is now my realtor for life!
Kevin Milligan with Joe Manausa RE is the BEST! He helped my daughter buy her first house and it went above and beyond for her. We could not have picked a better person to work with. He is an exceptional realtor and an exceptional person. Would recommend him as the BEST realtor in the Tallahassee area.
Garrett & Kevin were extremely helpful, professional & flexible with their time with us & our parents. We give them five stars for our experience. Missy & Mark Hollingsworth
Lindsey Begue at Joe Manausa Real Estate has been a life saver!!! My husband and I have been house hunting for quote some time now with no luck, we were very hesitant about getting a realtor because I felt like other realtors we were around were almost like car salesman....very pushy. It was like night and day meeting with Lindsey Begue and Kevin Milligan. The really sit you down and explain the ends and outs of what's going on with our market right now, knowing what's going on makes it a lot easier to go through the process. They didn't make me and my husband feel bad for not liking a house or not wanting to make that leap so quickly. Lindsey was always around to show us any and every house we liked or some she saw that she knew we would like. We are now under contract for our very first home and I couldn't be more excited!!! Choosing Joe Manausa Real Estate was the first step in the right direction for us in purchasing our first home and I couldn't be more grateful for their help!!

We had a delightful experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate while looking at homes in Tallahassee, FL during June and early July 2016! Every person that we met was extremely professional and friendly! They listened to our needs, showed us various homes, helped us see potential of several properties. Never pushed us or intimidated us during this process! What more can a person ask for when making a major, life changing purchase? Agents Garrett and Kevin were a pleasure to work with! I can not leave out the office support staff! I was having some anxious moments with my electronics at home and getting utilities added, etc. These wonderful ladies were caring, patient and helpful to the end!
Everyone at Joe Manausa Real Estate was extremely helpful and personable. Marcus was our realtor, and he helped us find our first home! He was always accessible no matter the time, and was there with answers for every step of the home buying process. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.
We have recently purchased a home through Garrett Jacks and Joe Manausa Real Estate; we cannot express how helpful this group of people is to work with. We would recommend this group to anyone in the market for a home in the area. The whole process went extremely smooth. They are great to work with!!
We could not have been more pleased with our agent Eva Armstrong with Joe Manausa Real Estate. She worked tirelessly to make our home buying experience a very efficient and pleasant one. She was extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed at every turn. Highly recommended.
Working with Marcus Edenfield at Joe Manausa Real Estate was an absolute pleasure! He is a true professional and made our home buying experience worry-free and enjoyable. Marcus was extremely responsive to all our questions and requests, always getting back to us in 24 hours or less...something hard to come by these days!! He was able to facilitate the signing of all our pre-closing paperwork remotely as we were in the middle of moving from another city. He also made sure to check in with us a few days before closing to make sure we didn't have any last minute questions / issues to be addressed. We always felt like Marcus was on top of everything, which made us feel at ease throughout the buying process. We would highly recommend working with Marcus Edenfield on your next real estate transaction.
I closed on our house in Tallahassee this past weekend and it was the smoothest most painless experience I could have asked for as an out of town buyer, thanks to Lindsey Begue of Joe Manausa Real Estate. Lindsey's customer focus is outstanding, and her knowledge of the details throughout the buying process helped me to be prepared well before the actual close date. Her attention to detail also helped prevent what could have been several time consuming and potentially costly errors. If you are considering Joe Manausa Real Estate you are in good hands, and if you are working with Lindsey you can be assured of a fantastic buying experience.
Marcus and Kevin both did an outstanding job working with us on finding a new home. They walked us through the buying process so there were no surprises. They listened to our wish list and kept us within our budget. Marcus was super patient and showed us several houses over several weeks. I would definitely recommend Joe Manausa real estate. They have a great crew.
My wife and I arrived in Tallahassee in mid-July from Maine and started our house search with Garrett Jacks and Marcus Edenfield. These two real estate executives displayed tireless energy in their zeal to get us into a property that met every criteria we outlined in our initial meeting with their agency. They are a real credit to the Manausa firm and we are happy we found them. Most important, we found the perfect house for us and closed on this property in less than 30 days! The whole Manausa Group seems to be exceptionally goal oriented and work to making their client base comfortable and happy. That's impressive!
We used Eva Armstrong as our agent. What a fantastic job she did! She guided us where we needed it, was patient where we needed it, and did a lot of the leg work we needed to bring a difficult purchase in for a landing. I would highly recommend working with her and Manausa
Stacie Boone was the BEST! She was always available to answer questions, show me a home and listened to what I preferred. You will never go wrong with Stacie. She knows her business. I love my new home. Nancy
I have had the absolute best experience with Manausa! We had the pleasure of working with Michelle, she walked us through the entire process, and in finding our home. She has been so kind and patient with us and all of our questions were answered very thoroughly. Everyone that works for Manausa has been so helpful to us! We are first time home buyers and had tons of questions, but no one ever got irritated with us and they were always so kind! We are over the moon to close on our new home tomorrow and are so grateful for everything this company has done for us! Thank you to each and everyone one of you! I would refer Manausa to anyone and have been already!
Michelle Manausa at Joe Manausa Real Estate did a fantastic job of finding us out new home. We lived in Michigan and were moving to Tallahassee and Michelle would get everything scheduled when a new house came on the market that fit our specifications. If you need a dedicated and committed person, she is the one to help you find your new home.
Kevin was beyond patient with us this weekend. We flew in from TX specifically to find our new home in Tallahassee. From Friday to Sunday he initiated and entertained every home that would be a great fit for our family. Kevin gave us the time we needed to marinate and did not push. We had the pleasure of also meeting two other team members and each one was very professional and polite. Would highly recommend Kevin and Manausa to anyone looking for your perfect home!
We were moving from south Florida.Kevin made it easy for us to make trips up to find our new home. Cay in the office is wonderful. We closed on our house and our agent showed up with help when we moved in. Wonderful family like service .no tricks just real people !! Thanks Manausa we love our home?
?? if you had 10 stars we would give it??????????
I just closed on my first home yesterday, and Jason Madsen from Joe Manausa Real Estate was my realtor. Buying a home is a huge decision, but Jason was absolutely amazing! He listened to what I wanted in my home and helped me every step of the way. I feel so lucky to have been randomly assigned to Jason when I called in a panic one day after a negative experience with another realtor in town. I have since recommended Jason to several friends and coworkers looking to buy a home. My closing went smoothly with Jason and Manausa Law Firm and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home!
Garrett and Kevin were extremely helpful in our home buying experience. Being first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions about the process and Garrett was able to answer those questions along the way with a quick response time. The house we currently lived in was being sold and we had a very short amount of time to find a house that we wanted to make an offer on. Within just a couple of weeks, Garrett found us a house that had every single one of our "check list" items. I would highly recommend the team at Joe Manausa to anybody in the Tallahassee area looking to purchase a home!
Awesome experience with Michelle and the whole Real Estate office, they helped us through entire the process of purchasing our first home and were always accommodating to our every need. Even months after the purchase Michelle continued to assist us with our property. Great experience all around would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great agent and firm.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Joe Manausa Real Estate on the recent purchase of our new home. From our first meeting with Kevin and Lindsey, we were impressed with the team's dedication, preparation, and responsiveness. Despite all of the hard work they clearly put in to each client, we never felt any pressure, which was important to us. Lindsey Begue was our agent and was a dream to work with--I kind of wish we hadn't found our dream home in only 4 days so that we could have worked with her longer! Marcus and Cay were also really helpful throughout the process. We can't say enough good things about the whole team and will definitely work with them in the future when we're ready to buy again and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy a home.
Eva Armstrong is like no other agent, she is amazing at what she does, thoughtful, knowledgeable and funny too. Thanks Eva for putting up with us!! Found the perfect house and will b moving in soon!
Kevin Milligan assisted me on my recent home purchase. He, and every member of the Manausa team, provided exceptional service. Kevin walked me through the full process up front, and was an invaluable resource during my home search. He was available every time I needed him and served as a counselor/advisor on countless phone calls. When I chose my home, Kay's regular emails with critical instruction, helpful information, and reminders was invaluable. Thank you Manausa, and thank you Kevin for such an amazing experience!
We could not have had a better home buying experience with Kevin at Manausa real estate. He jumped right in and made the last six weeks of home buying a relatively stress free time in our life. We will definitely work with him again in the future!
My husband and I had a great experience with Manausa. We are first time home buyers and had the pleasure of working with Kevin. He was very informative and patient with us. Him and the Manausa team helped make this process so easy and we will definitely refer friends and family! Thank you again Kevin for helping Eddie and I find our perfect starter home!
I recently had the pleasure of receiving a referral from Joe for a client moving to the area that I am an agent in TN. He reached out to me and chose me from many agents. He provided me the contact information in a very timely manner. It was a pleasure working with him. Kathryn Woycik, Southern Homes Realty LLC
Thanks to Garrett Jacks and his team at Joe Manausa Real Estate for helping me find my perfect home ! The support and expertise he gave me throughout the home buying process was essential in making a major life decision . I am indebted to him for making it the best decision I have made yet!
Super informative and caring agents who will work with you to find you exactly what you're looking for. I would never work with anyone else!!
I really enjoyed working with Garrett. He alerted me to all "for sale" homes he thought would interest me and was available to show them at my convenience. He was very prompt and accurate in preparing my offers. Once the offer was accepted, he and the office staff arranged all of the necessary inspections. Garrett and the office staff made the home-buying process a smooth and enjoyable experience.
My wife and I were first time home buyers and Michelle Manausa was extremely helpful. We didn't know much about the process or even where to begin and she made it very easy for us. She was very knowledgeable and responsive when we had questions or concerns. She also helped sell our home a few weeks ago and that was a breeze! We were very satisfied.
Stacie Boone is the best relator we have ever used! Tell her what your looking for, budget and normal basic information and she will deliver. Stacie will not try to sell you something over your budget or outside your initial parameters. If you looking for an honest, personable, REAL person, then give her a call.
When my wife and I decided to relocate from California to Tallahassee, we asked local friends to suggest a good realtor. Those suggestions and a thorough Internet search for reviews led us to Joe Manausa Real Estate. A year before we moved we flew out to Tallahassee and met Joe and his wife Michelle. Even though they knew we were a year away from the move, they spent quite a while with us to get to know us and determine what type of housing we were looking for and they gave us a great overview of the types of neighborhoods in Tally that would fit in with our expectations. When we finally moved, we worked extensively with Michelle Manausa as our Buyer’s Agent. We were very impressed with Michelle’s professionalism, knowledge of the area, and assistance with the ever-changing housing market. After a search that lasted a few months and with Michelle’s spot-on advice, we found the right house for us and purchased it in August. Joe, Michelle, and their team totally met our expectations and the purchase occurred without a hitch. We unequivocally recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Andy Elliot was great to work with he always kept us updated every step of the way. I would both recommend and use Joe Manausa real estate again.
I want to thank Andy Elliot for an excellent job on selling our home. He was with us every step of the way and explained everything we asked about. His professionalism is outstanding. I would highly recommend manausa real estate for your selling or buying of a home. Thanks again Andy!
My husband and I had the best first experience buying a home with Joe Manausa. We worked with Marcus who helped us through every step in the process personally. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!
My wife and I were, at first, skeptical about the Manausa approach to representing us as a buying agent. The agent assigned to us, Marcus Edenfield, allayed all of our fears. Between his dogged determination to find us a home, his excellent communication skills, his utilization Manausa resources, and his outgoing personality we were very pleased. Any concerns we had were quickly and professionally addressed. His team coordinated inspections and made life simpler. We would recommend Manausa and, in particular, Marcus Edenfield if you want a top-notch buying experience.
I am one of those people that believe that if a Client or customer receives poor or Inadequate service, the manager should be informed to allow them to better train the employee, revise service policy or somehow correct the situation. Conversely, if someone receives good service, the manager should also be told to allow them to reward the employee.It is my happy task to inform you of a very knowledgeable and professional employee. I was referred to Joe Manausa Real Estate and Lindsey Begue by a friend in this area. I was looking for a home for me to purchase and retire. I called Ms Begue and we talked for about 30 minutes while she asked for details on what type of property I was searching to buy, as well as where. I felt that she understood what I was looking for.
Within several hours, she sent me a listing for a property. As we started to discuss my options, it was apparent that this listing was exactly what I had described. As I asked questions, she knew the region and area. As we began the purchase offer process, it was clear that she she knew the process and procedures necessary to accomplish the deal. I am not that familiar with purchasing Real Estate but I do recognize competence. I felt that she completely understood both the deal process, as well as my needs as a purchaser. Throughout the process she helped my understand the process and very patiently helped me to understand the system and what we needed to do next. When I had a question, she knew the answer or did the research to find the answers. She was very patient and I had confidence in her abilities throughout the process.
Once we came to the closing, her real professionalism emerged. We were working with an exceptional closing agent, Tiffany.
Lindsey was confronted with a variety of issues and difficulties that seemed to me to be insurmountable and kill the deal. However, Lindsey (and Tiffany) continued to address each issue to resolution. I was most comfortable with her positive attitude and refusal to accept failure. Her knowledge of the system finally won out and we finally reached closing. I am confident that we were able to close because of Lindsey's (and Tiffany)'s expertise and professionalism. I will gladly continue to give her name and number to people looking to buy property in the area.
I am very happy I found Ms. Begue to work with and the entire team at Joe Manausa Real Estate including Kevin Milligan and Cay Newel. I feel certain that we would not have purchased this home without them.
Don and Debra Keirn
Eva B. Armstrong is a knowledgeable, hardworking, efficient and approachable realtor. Her sophisticated communication skills plus vast relationship with all kinds of professions make house closing smooth and successful. I thank Eva B. Armstrong for the fabulous service and Joe Manausa Real Estate for all kinds of supports. You are the best.
My experience was with Marcus Edenfield as a buying agent for Manausa Real Estate. Marcus was professional, personable, quick to respond to our concerns, and had an uncanny knack for anticipating our needs. My wife and I strongly recommend the Manausa buying team and, in particular, Marcus Edenfield
We had such a great experience with Lindsey and Kevin at Manausa helping us find our beautiful house. Lindsey was willing to show us houses at a moment's notice and was great at communicating with us, always responding promptly to my emails and texts. She was calm and patient and gave us lots of reassurance during the stressful process of buying a house. Kay from the office was also super helpful, sending email reminders of what we needed to do and when, so we wouldn't forget anything. Thanks for everything!
I had a very positive experience working with the whole team at Manausa - Lindsey, Kevin, Andy, Ron, and Cay were all wonderful. They spent a lot of time with us explaining the Tallahassee real estate market and what we could expect. They all promptly returned our calls and texts and patiently walked us through the entire process. They were friendly, reassuring, and were available whenever we needed them. I hope to not buy another house for a long time, but if I do, I would not hesitate to use Manausa again!
Working with Marcus and Kevin was easy. We never purchased a home (work relocated me before we had the chance), but were super impressed with the attentiveness and superior service.
Thanks to the amazing team at Joe Manausa Real Estate, I just closed on my very first house! I had no idea what to expect when I decided to start looking for a home, but Lindsey and Kevin sat down with me and explained every step of the process from start to finish. Lindsey and Cate showed me countless houses, until we finally found the perfect one for me. They were always quick to answer any question I had, were incredibly patient with me, and really held my hand through the whole process. Cay did a great job of making sure the process of closing went smoothly. She stayed in constant contact with me making sure everything was in order and ready to go. This wonderful group of people not only helped me find and purchase my first home, but they made the whole thing easy and fun. I couldn't be happier!

Marcus Edenfield is by far the BEST realtor we have found! When we decided to make the move to Tallahassee, we had a very short window of time to find a home. He was "on call" for us and made it seem that we were his only clients. Once we found our home, he made the closing process SO much less stressful than it otherwise would have been! I can't say enough good things about him, and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent in this area! Thanks, Marcus, for making our Tallahassee home experience WONDERFUL!
What an outstanding group of individuals to work with in finding our dream home from start to finish. They were professional, hard working, and would make time during their busy schedules to show a house, even late in the evenings!! Make no mistake, every other real estate company I dealt with failed in comparison to the folks at Joe Manausa. That is why I chose them and I was not disappointed!! And, you should too! Kevin and Caitlin - You guys ROCK!!! 5-stars!!
Our agent Eva Armstrong was absolutely wonderful. She was our agent for selling our home and buying a new one. Selling our old home was a bit of a challenge as it was in a neighborhood with very minimal turnover so setting a price was not easy. She guided us through a process that prompted an immediate sale. Her staging suggestions were very helpful. The first people who saw our home bought it. Finding a new home was also a challenge but she worked with us until we found just the right place. In just 40 days we went from listing to closing on both homes. We couldn't have asked for better service and support. We highly recommend Eva Armstrong.
We are currently on Day 15 of buying our new home and we owe all this to Garrett Jacks who has helped us every step of the way. His knowledge, professionalism and especially his patience with our 101 stupid questions have far exceeded what we expected and so far everything has gone super smooth... too smooth that we sometimes wonder if it is actually real!! I would definitely recommend Garrett and the rest of the team at Joe Manausa for your home buying/selling needs.
I can't say buying a house is simple... But I truly believe I had the best experience working with Stacie Boone. She was recommended to me by a co-worker, and when I came to her I had NO IDEA what I was doing or the process involved. The very first thing she did was show me a presentation on the process from start to finish... what my responsibilities would be, what her responsibilities would be and what the bank would do. After that I was ready! She contacted me almost every day with new houses that she thought I would like(she did her research!) and was available on my time schedule to go looking. Within 2 months I found the house of my dreams! I couldn't have done it without you Stacie and I couldn't be happier with my new home!
I don't think I can really say enough about the extremely professional experience I had locating and purchasing a home through Joe Manausa Real Estate. My realtor, Marcus Edenfield proved himself to be dedicated, dependable, and always had my best interests at heart. He went above and beyond any realtor experience I have had in the past, and was available to show me homes even when I know it was not convenient for him.As a former veteran, I take pride in knowing there are real estate firms who see about the needs of former service members. I was impressed with the number of veterans on the Manausa staff, and I am glad I made the right decision.
My wife and I contacted a seller's agent at Joe Manausa Real Estate to arrange a showing and were assigned Lindsey Begue as a buyer's agent. We liked the home we saw, made an offer the same day and, 40 days later, closed on the property. Throughout the process Lindsey's willingness to help, apparent wealth of knowledge, and quick responses to our questions and concerns plainly showed that she is a shining example of of exactly what a real estate agent should be in an industry saturated with wannabe used car salesmen. Kevin and Cay were equally wonderful to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking for a home.
My husband and I couldn't be happier with Manausa Realty. The whole team was professional, knowledgeable and always seemed ready to help. Our agent Lindsey Begue was the absolute best! She always kept us up to date, responded super fast to our questions and was great at ensuring any of our concerns were both addressed and relieved asap. She helped us craft a competitive offer to get the home of our dreams. I couldn't imagine doing this process without her. We had a super smooth process from offer to closing. I highly recommend Manausa Realty and, should I need to, I will be using their services again!
It took me a while to finally sit down and start typing this out... why? B/c I'm too busy settling into my dream home! We've been here in Tallahassee for just about five months now, and in our home for about three. We started with Manausa b/c my husband came to Tallahassee first and he picked from all the realtors who he dealt with. "They're vets." That was enough for me anyway!
When the kids and I finally got here, we met with Kevin and Caitlin to go over what exactly we wanted in a house. After hearing my crazy 'demands', they were honest with me about what we would be able to find in our price range. No trying to upsell, no trying to 'wiggle more out of the budget', they were just straight up and honest. We started looking at houses throughout our price range, they never tried to push us up to the top (which we have dealt with and heard of before). We had made our list on their web page so they could see what we had interest in.
One house had been on the list, then off the list, then on the list, then back off the list... Finally Caitlin said "Look, let's just go look at it and you can decide if you want it on or off the list for sure." Best thing she could have done.
Here we sit, three months later, me in my office (something that was very important to me to have, while not necessarily something I could find in every house we looked at), my kids just home from one of the best schools in town and I could NOT be happier.
They've texted/emailed to check up on us, they've answered questions that had NOTHING to do with realty and they definitely helped us feel welcome to Tallahassee.
I highly HIGHLY recommend Manausa. Everyone was great from start to finish and always ready to help. You will not be disappointed.
Nikky is the best! She help us through out the buying process! I give Manausa Real Estate 5 STARS!
Toying with the idea of selling a home in today's market was quite intimidating. My family and I truly adored our home, which we purchased over nine years ago. At that time, we were a family of four. Now, a family of five we found our charming home cozy but a bit too small. This past summer we decided to seriously explore the idea of purchasing a home with the much needed additional space. In searching for a creditable real estate agency we took in consideration a number of desirable qualities and traits: problem solver mindset, engaging personality, attention to detail, and above average understanding of the local housing market. The decision was not a difficult one. We found the right choice posted in plain view right next door--a red, white, and blue sign that boldly displayed Joe Manausa Real Estate. Besides, the neighbor's house sold within a week of hitting the market! I was oddly convinced that the red, white, and blue could very well be indicative of one's pursuit of the American dream. Joe Manausa Real Estate Team stood out above the rest. Their social media presence was strong. A few computer clicks later I was enthralled by Joe Manausa's user friendly web site, which offered real time updates and access to experienced agents right at my fingertips. Evidently, a lot of work went into each and every one of their listings. We were fortunate to speak with Lindsey. She promptly arranged a time for us to meet face to face and introduced us to the "buyer team." We were concerned that our house, which was located in a neighborhood with countless similar homes on the market would be tough to sell. Kevin confidently answered questions, provided objective data, and supplied tons of info on comps in the area. He most certainly possessed the engaging personality and expertise that we were searching for. Cay's attention to detail and helpful reminders were pivotal to helping the process run smoothly. Lindsey was there throughout the entire process. She went beyond the call of duty in providing superb customer service by walking us through every step of the closing process. Ultimately, I realize it isn't always easy to sell a home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.
Kevin Milligan and John Bozeman were both extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They were honest and took the time to help me, as I am a first time home buyer. I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone who is looking for excellent customer service and genuinely great people!
Excellent friendly company with great feedback and diligence by Garrett Jacks.
We loved working with Michelle Manausa at Joe Manausa Real Estate! It was our first home purchase and we felt a little overwhelmed by the process at first, but Michelle quickly put us at ease. She answered my many questions thoughtfully and thoroughly and really taught us a lot. I never felt like she was trying to "make a sale," I always felt like she was truly working hard to help us find a house that fit our needs and our budget-- and she did! She went above and beyond at every turn and we are so pleased with our purchase. Michelle is stuck with us from now on anytime we buy or sell property in Tallahassee, FL!
We have had the best experience with Manausa! Garrett is a fantastic relator and has helped us on both sides of transactions. He is very supportive, helps us get answers to all of our questions and provides great support. Travis has been a great addition to the team and has been incredibly helpful with even the small details. Working with this team has been a pleasure.
Great Experience. Lindsey and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my fiance and I. Even when things didn't go as planned they were there motivating me and providing assistance whenever needed. Highly recommended !!!!!
Thanks to the amazing team at Joe Manausa Real Estate, I just closed on my very first house! I had no idea what to expect when I decided to start looking for a home, but Lindsey and Kevin sat down with me and explained every step of the process from start to finish. Lindsey and Cate showed me countless houses, until we finally found the perfect one for me. They were always quick to answer any question I had, were incredibly patient with me, and really held my hand through the whole process. Cay did a great job of making sure the process of closing went smoothly. She stayed in constant contact with me making sure everything was in order and ready to go. This wonderful group of people not only helped me find and purchase my first home, but they made the whole thing easy and fun. I couldn't be happier!
Kevin Milligan provided outstanding service and advice on every phase of my successful home purchase. I chose Joe Manausa Real Estate initially because of their insightful analysis of the Tallahassee market, and they delivered great support throughout the entire process.
What an awesome group to work with! Having worked with other Reltors, Manausa group took it to the next level. They helped with handling every detail, above and beyond what anyone would expect.
Talk about service above and beyond, this team does it. Kevin and Alex worked hard to keep us up to date on the progress of purchasing our new home. Understanding the housing market in Tallahassee was a new experience, and every detail was well explained. They were available whenever we wanted to see, or even re-see a property. Sometimes it's the little touches that mean the most.
Michelle Manausa at Joe Manausa Real Estate was a consummate professional with which to work. Being a business traveller, I couldn't tend to all the details of my home inspections but Michelle was with us every step of the way. She scrutinized our purchase as if she were purchasing a home for her own mother. We felt confident with her suggestions and guidance. She got everything in line to ensure that we closed on the day we originally planned to close and it could not have been smoother. Constant contact, 100% reliability, knowledge, and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Michelle.
We have nothing but wonderful words for Michelle Manausa at Joe Manausa Real Estate. We worked with Michelle to sell our current home and purchase a new home, both in Tallahassee. Michelle and the other staff were always friendly and accommodating. The company website was easy to navigate and, unlike other popular sites, provided up-to-date status on the listings so we were aware if homes already had a pending sale. Michelle assisted us in securing assessments and inspections quickly, sometimes using her working relationship with the companies to help us receive speedier service. Michelle offered helpful suggestions in prepping our old home for sale, and we had an acceptable offer within 1 day of listing! Overall, we were very pleased with our experience working with Joe Manausa Real Estate, and we highly recommend the company for anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in the area!
Very professional. The team is well oiled, smooth operation
Amazing service, very helpful and professional. Kevin and Alex had an informative presentation for us as newbies to the area. We will recommend Joe Manausa to others!
Michelle Manausa with Joe Manausa Real Estate helped us get a great home, navigating a FSBO with ease, great attention to detail and timing. She made sure we did not spend money unnecessarily and made sure all details were covered and finished. Very easy and effective communicator. Honestly, I was more comfortable with Michelle than any realtor I've worked with in 30 years of moving and buying houses.
Kevin was very helpful in finding my new home. As a first time buyer, I felt very comfortable with the process.
As first time buyers we had lots of questions! Lindsey Begue and her team at Joe Manausa Real Estate took their time with us. They explained, in detail, what to expect, the process and what to question about a house. Lindsey kept in constant communication. She questioned things about the house for us when we overlooked something. It was clear she wanted us to be happy with our purchase. She is extremely professional but was able to calm my nerves and felt like a friend at the same time. Even after we closed on the house she messaged us to remind us of things that would save us down the road. I highly recommend Lindsey. I will be using Joe Manausa Real Estate in the future!
I would highly recommend working with the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate for all your buying and selling needs. My family and I couldn’t be happier with the attention and guidance we received during the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. We are uniquely qualified to give this recommendation as we were looking to move locally so we got to work with some great professionals on both the selling side, (Travis Owsley) and the buying side (Garrett Jacks). We are so grateful to have worked with Travis and Garrett. They both made this process seamless and stress free. Another aspect of Joe Manausa Real Estate which we really appreciated was how apparent it is that this company is very veteran friendly. It shows in their leadership and the team they have put together. It is clearly a value of the company and not just for show.
The team at Joe Manausa Real Estate went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Kevin, Garrett & Cay for making this a smooth transaction for us. We highly recommend working with the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate in Tallahassee, Florida for your real estate needs.
Lindsey with Joe Manausa Real Estate has been absolutely great to work with during our recent home search. She was very thorough in understanding our needs, helping us craft a winning offer in a multiple offer situation and working with us throughout the contract period. Lindsey and her team have coordinated inspections, handled negotiations and coordinated remediation for a major system issue identified during the inspection. She is always available to answer any and all questions that we have. I would highly recommend Lindsey to help in your next home search.
My husband and I were ready to sell our house or so I thought. Great house, perfect location etc. A few days on the market and my husband drops a bomb that he is not ready to sell. The team from Joe Manausa are the best ever. You have one team to sell your house and one team to help you purchase a new one. They educate you and are there to help you in any way possible. After ALL the work they did to market my home and look for a new one they were not even mad at us. They were still polite and understanding. Don't look anywhere else for a Realtor. Call them!!!!!! Andy, Kevin, and Lindsey (Listed home or lot/land, but WE chose not to sell) So sorry.
Our experience with Joe Manausa Realty was a great one. My husband and I recently sold our home across the country in order to relocate somewhat permanently to Florida. We made contact with agent Alex Gutterman and he helped us through the grueling process of viewing dozens of homes until we found the right one for our family, and was extremely helpful and responsive every step of the way. We couldn't be more grateful for his help!
Lindsey Begue, Kevin, and Cay, are THE DREAM TEAM of real estate! I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate, especially Lindsey. Being my first home purchase, in the beginning of this process I had no idea where to start and what to expect. At our initial meeting Lindsey and Kevin went beyond and above explaining everything involved in purchasing a home, as well as guiding me through the Tallahassee real estate market. I could tell immediately they wanted the best for me. I felt 100% comfortable and confident with them as my team. Throughout the process of home searching, offer, and contingency periods, Lindsey was amazing. She had a plan and strategy that protected me as a buyer and simplified the process. She was always immediately available and handled everything on my behalf. I cannot rave enough about this team and Lindsey Begue!!
Frankly, I can't even begin to say enough about Kevin and Alex. They have been so wonderful to me throughout this whole home purchasing process. The truth of the matter is that buying a house is exhausting and always more expensive than you think it will be. It can be a frustrating experience if you're on a tight budget and/or have a tight window to buy and move out of your rental like I did. Couple that with the fact that I have never purchased a home before... Well, it could have been a disaster.
Kevin and Alex were the big brothers in this process that I never knew I needed or wanted. We didn't always agree on homes , but I always knew that they were being honest with me and had my genuine best interest at heart.
They were always responsive, willing to meet with me, and talked me off the ledge more than once. I could always trust and respect their judgement. But never once did I feel like they were pushing me. They presented options that would meet my needs and tell me truthfully how they felt in a way that still always left the decision up to me, which I appreciated.
They were a nice balance to my constant cries of, "Oh my goodness, what is happening?!?!?!".
It isn't just Kevin and Alex though. The entire office team will take care of you with courtesy and respect.
I really couldn't imagine buying a home with any other team.
If you're looking to buy/sell in Tallahassee, I would recommend no one else other than Joe Manausa Real Estate! Very professional, experienced, and patient team! It took me MONTHS to find the perfect home, but my realtor, Jason Madsen, remained patient and optimistic we would find exactly what I wanted; he was right! He never tried to force me into a home just to make a sell. Additionally, he was 110% a go-getter with sending me potential homes to view, answering my questions, and just being available when I needed information. Once I finally found the perfect home, he was beyond helpful in making sure financing and closing went as smooth and stress-free as possible and even helped me unpack the moving truck! Thank you to the entire JMRE team and partners for making my home-buying experience truly remarkable and memorable!
We can't thank Eva Armstrong and Joe Manausa Real Estate enough for helping us find the perfect home! Eva was so patient, even when we weren't, and was very knowledgeable about the entire process. She was very responsive to any of our requests and questions and even if she didn't know an answer, she would work hard to get us one! She was able to ascertain very quickly what we were looking for and help to find us those types of homes quickly, some even before they were on the market! It was so relieving to have someone we fully trusted to help us with this important step in our lives!

Marcus recently helped my family and I purchase two homes in Tallahassee after relocating from Miami. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and his commitment and professionalism were unparalleled. Marcus was there every step of the way and made a stressful time in our lives bearable. I would definitely recommend Manausa Realty for your real estate needs. Thanks again Marcus!
I had a very good experience with Lindsey Begue from Joe Manausa Realty. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had during the process. The whole team was helpful and professional! It has been a pleasure working with Garrett Jacks. He always operates with integrity and care!
I was really pleased with the service of Joe Manausa Real Estate. This was my family's first home and we are very satisfied. The entire team was amazing but Lindsey Begue was my agent. She was there for every step of the process. She never left my family wondering what would happen next. She was always available and very informative. She saved us money and ensured a speedy closing, all because of her professionalism. My family had no worries and we attribute that to Lindsey. Thank you for providing us with such great service!
Lindsey Begue at Joe Manausa Real Estate was very helpful to my wife and I. My wife and I were in a very short time frame to buy a house because we are expecting our first child. Lindsey was able to help us find a home that was perfect for us and our growing family in less than a week. She has helped us through this new experience for my wife and I because we are first time home buyers. I would highly recommend Lindsey and Joe Manausa Real Estate for your next home buying experience.
The Joe Manausa Team was awesome!!! Will definetely recommend and utilize again in the future. My agent (Kevin Milligan) was professional, informative, available, and ensured the process flowed smoothly from initial contact, home reviewing, loan approval, and purchase. Kevin and the team were focused on ensuring I purchased a home that suited my needs/desires and not on just making a sale. Absolutely Awesome!!!
Kevin Milligan at Manausa consistently displayed the patience and professionalism of what has to be the gold standard for real estate professionals in Tallahassee. He never tired of the process of showing homes while offering his expert advice on the market and what ultimately became the right fit for our family.
Our experience with Caitlin Saunders and Joe Manausa Real Estate was very good. Caitlin is an amazing agent. She is organized, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for her clients. We were looking at houses in Tallahassee, FL while living in Houston, TX which was not an easy thing to do but Caitlin made it as easy and as pleasant as it could be. She listened to what our needs were and devoted a lot of time and energy to helping us. She scheduled all of the inspections and was there for every one of them.
I highly recommend Caitlin Saunders and Joe Manausa Real Estate.
I loved working with this company to find my first home. Garrett was great to us and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
I highly recommend Caitlin Saunders and Joe Manausa Real Estate. Caitlin listened to our needs and helped us find the perfect home from 4 states away.She was knowledge, energetic and always professional.Caitlin made looking for a home and getting through the inspection and closing processes as easy as it could be.
I am a first time home buyer, and my experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate was exceptional. I was really pleased with the service of Joe Manausa Real Estate. The entire team was amazing but Lindsey Begue was my agent. She was there for every step of the process. She never left my family wondering what would happen next. She was always available and very informative. Because of her professionalism, she saved us money and ensured a speedy closing. My family did not have any worries and we attribute that to Lindsey. Thank you Lindsey and thank you Joe Manausa Real Estate!
If you are looking to sell your house or purchase a house, I highly recommend the Joe Manausa Real Estate. At my age, the thought of having to sell and purchase a new house was somewhat devastating and causing extreme stress. I was so fortunate to have a professional like Jay Madsen to work with me. He definitely reduced my stress level and made this process go so smoothly. He answered all my phone calls and answered or found the correct answers to all my questions. He was always available and even volunteered to assist me in lifting my heavy packed boxes. He went out of his way to help me sell my house and find the "perfect house" for me. . What an outstanding person! I love my new home. It is just what I was looking for and more. Thank you Jay for all you did for me.
Recently, we were referred to Stacie Boone, with Joe Manausa Real Estate by a realtor from Orlando. Our experience with Stacie was wonderful! She was very patient with our large family and accommodating to my pregnancy needs. I appreciate her knowledge about the Tallahassee schools and areas around town. She was very good at helping us narrow down our dream house, and knowing how to navigate each step to the closing process. I know she put in some long weekend hours for us, showing homes that she carefully scheduled. I feel we have made a new friend in the process. Thank you Stacie!
When it came time for my wife and I to buy a home, Alex Gutterman was very helpful. Whenever we had a question or inquiry, we would usually receive a response back instantly. After we looked at over eight houses one day, he suggested that we take a look at one that just went on the market that same day, and that was the one we purchased! I can definitely recommend working with Joe Manausa Real Estate without hesitation.
Lindsey Begue was extremely helpful and knowledgeable for me and my wife during the process of finding our home. We were probably not the easiest clients, but she researched long and hard to find us the perfect home. Lindsey and Kevin Milligan showed us 27 homes...so far! We have not yet to find our home, but their help is ongoing. I will recommend Lindsey and Kevin to any friend I know that will be in the market for a new home in the future. Without their expertise, we would be lost in our search for the perfect home.
The Joe Manausa team has been an ease to work with...From the initial appointment to establish my needs, I have enjoyed the house hunting experience with Lindsey Begue who has patiently walked me through the Tallahassee real estate market. I am looking forward closing on a home, and recommending Joe Manausa Real Estate to friends and colleagues.
Thank you Alex (!) and JMRE for helping me with the purchase of my new home here in Tallahassee. Out of the half dozen times I've bought/sold real estate in my lifetime, this was by far the smoothest transaction.
We worked primarily with Marcus, but at times interacted with the whole team. That is something we really loved about working with Joe Manausa Real Estate to find our home, we were never told we had to wait to see a house or our realtor wasn’t available. There was always someone there to help us. They were very flexible with their time and understanding that we wanted our house to feel like home. Marcus worked with us for 4 months on a house we loved, but it wasn’t meant to be. We really appreciate all the extra effort he put in for us. His attitude and helpfulness never waned when the first house fell through, he kept us positive and upbeat and motivated to find THE house and with his help we did. I don’t think there is anything more Marcus or his team could have done to make our buying experience better or easier. Thank you!
Recently purchased a home with the help of Joe Manausa Reality. Michelle Manausa was my agent and worked very hard for me. She was amazing in her knowledge of the City, getting everything lined up and seemed to know just what I was looking for before I knew. She spent many hours showing me homes until we found the perfect one.Communication with me and my finance company was excellent and she updated me all along the way so I knew just what was happening.Looking for home or want to sell Joe Manausa Reality will make the process carefree. Thank you Michelle for helping me find my perfect home.
I STRONGLY recommend Michelle Manausa and Joe Manausa Real state for your real state needs. Me and my wife were in a very frustrated search for a bigger house because we were expecting another baby. We worked with other people, but we felt that they were trying just to sell us something fast. Then we met Michelle Manausa. She turned our experience in the best we ever had while looking for a house. Michelle Manausa was not in a rush to sell us a house, she worked for help us to find our dream home. I lost count of all the houses that we saw. At some point We felt that we may not find what we were looking for, but Michelle did not allow us to settle for something less that we wanted and need. She helped us to get the better price for the house. But not only that, Michelle also sold our old house in less than 24 hours. She helped us to set the right price, did a great coming soon for the house and help us to find the right people to do the repairs we needed to do in our prior house. Michelle also help us to close in both houses the same date and in the same place. If you want the best real estate experience, once again, MICHELLE MANAUSA AND JOE MANAUSA REAL ESTATE IS THE WAY TO GO.
Myself and my Wife could not have asked for a better experience. As a first time homebuyer, myself, I was unsure at first about the process, but Joe Manausa Real Estate made the experience so easy. We both would like to say that agent Marcus Edenfield really went above and beyond to assist us throughout the whole process. Marcus was available day/night or whenever we needed a question answered and provided us with all the support we needed. We could not have asked for a more consummate professional to work with. When it came to selling our own home, we were a little worried, but Joe Manausa Real Estate sold our home in 3 days!! Never would have thought we would have been able to accomplish that, but we did! My wife and I recommend anyone who is thinking about buying/selling to contact the Team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. If you want to be treated and served with 5 Star Service, Joe Manausa Real Estate is your ticket!!!
Marcus Edenfield was our realtor and he was great! Joe Manausa Real Estate is different than any other agency. All the employees truly work as a team and at any given time, someone is there to help you. We had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone!
Kevin and Marcus were excellent! If I could give more stars, I would. They are both knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend them!
I definitely recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate. Our realtor, Alex Gutterman, was patient and professional throughout our first time home buying experience!
It was a great pleasure and awesome experience working with Alex Gutterman to find a home. He went above and beyond our expectations to help us, he was kind, and really made the house hunting a great time. Although we weren't able to find a home right now, we will be back and hopefully Alex Gutterman will be there to help us again.I would recommend Joe Manausa Realty to anyone looking for a home, ask for Alex or Kevin great people.
I would definitely tell you to give Eva Armstrong a call! She has went way beyond to help us and put us in contact with other people to help us as well. Will be telling all my friends about what a great Real Estate company Manausa is and how much they will do for you! Eva is a really nice and easy to talk too ,you will be happy with her service!!
I could not have worked with a better realtor than Eva Armstrong. The process of purchasing my lovely home went smoothly from drawing up the contract right up to the day I closed. Eva was professional and a pleasure to work with, I am one happy new homeowner.
Recently purchased a home with Manausa Reality. And Alex Gutterman was my agent and He worked very hard for me. Thank you :) and the rest of the Staff too, tank you
Cate is by far the best real estate agent we found in Tallahassee and we did our research!! Kevin helped us understand the first steps of buying our first home and then Cate took us for a dive in the deep end to look at several houses in our very picky criteria bracket and ultimately led us to closing on the house of our dreams!! We will DEFINITELY use JMRE again in the future and will refer anyone over that needs them!
Buying a home can be exciting. Selling a home can be emotional. Trying to coordinate both can be stressful. Eva Armstrong and Ron Rice at Joe Manausa Reality are great. Eva took the time to ask all the right questions to find us our dream home. Eva is professional, polite, and is clearly an experienced realtor. Eva ensured we were well represented, we were clear on all our options; she supported us every step of the way. Ron Rice was up front communicating Plan A and Plan B to selling our home. He exuded confidence in his and the company's ability to succeed without being over zealous in his promises. Our house was under contract in 11 days at full ask! I would recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Great staff and very friendly. Helped with selling and purchasing a new house. Would highly recommend Marcus and Andy for your real estate needs. Don't. I anywhere else. 5 stars.
So... I closed on my first home today. And the signing process was just so anticlimactic. And a part of that was because I was a little sad that if I want to be fiscally responsible I need to wait about ten years before having Kevin Milligan and Alex Gutterman help me buy a house again. To say they were a pleasure is an understatement. These gents were honest, realistic, empathetic, funny, and utterly devoted. Anyone who tells you buying a home is fun, paid cash, and had someone else do all the heavy lifting. The process can be tedious, overwhelming, and on occasion exhausting. The team at Joe Manausa never let me down. They were in this with me through thick and thin. I didn't have a massive budget or an infinite time frame. They just wanted to help me find a house. But more importantly, they wanted me to find a house that I loved, and felt safe and happy with. They cared about me. They worked with me. And I firmly believe that I got so fortunate and was able to make it through this because of how great they were. To say I'm grateful would be a gross understatement.
Update: We recently sold our second home (outgrew it) using Stacie . Again, we completed the entire process from a distance. Stacie was in constant communication and really made the process easy. She coordinated with our property manager to prep the house for sale and quickly got us an offer. We were anxious about the process of negotiation and counter offers but Stacie was great at talking things out with us and helping us reach a deal that got us what we wanted and was quickly accepted by the buyer. I can not recommend her more highly and I look forward to using her again.Previous Post: We had a fabulous experience buying a second home with Stacie Boone at Joe Manausa Real Estate. We live out of the country but were interested in buying a second home in Tallahassee for use as a home base/retirement property. We were referred to Stacie by USAA and could not have been happier. She discussed our desires and came up with a list of homes that were strong contenders. Even though we were unable to locate a property that worked for us while on our vacation, she kept her eyes open and helped us locate the perfect place. She took supplemental photos so that we would could get a feel for the home even though we weren't there. We made an offer and she was able to assist us with closing, all while we were still overseas. The level of service we received was top notch and I would definitely recommend Stacie to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. Making such a large purchase can be stressful, especially if you are miles away but Stacie took all of the worry out of the process and helped us to get the perfect home for our family.
As first time home buyers, we expected this process to be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. The staff at Joe Manausa Real Estate anticipated every question we had and helped us every step of the way. We are so glad we decided to work with them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Tallahassee area.
Very informative staff that is ready to work with you in every aspect of buying a house and making sure you find the best house that suits you. They have an amazing website that makes finding houses easy. Their follow ups are pretty prompt and courteous and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking into either buying a house for the first time or buying another house.
Alex Gutterman was my real estate agent. He was phenomenal!! He was very patient, responsive, and very encouraging along the way. He made sure that I made the right choice and decision in purchasing my home. I would absolutely, and already have, recommend Joe Manausa Reality to others!! THANKS TEAM!!!
Michelle Manausa was fantastic to work with, and made the process of looking at homes exciting and fun. She quickly knew exactly what we were looking for and helped us find it. Thanks Michelle!!!!
Lindsey is the best. She did whatever it took to make sure i closed and tomorrow us the big day!!!!
Is it possible to have a company that's rating is a full 5 stars from over 200 reviews? Apparently, it is! The Manausa team helped me through my first property purchase. My real estate agent: Kevin Milligan, had my back the whole way, sometimes working late into the night to keep the process moving. He also took the time to answer some of my more superfluous questions, and worked around my schedule (we did a lot of work over my lunch hour). Cay Newell was the transaction coordinator and she did an excellent job making sure everything was in place: dotting the t's and crossing the i's. Manausa Real Estate recommended a lender, and my lending agent: Caitlin Yancey is awesome, this was another situation where she really took the time to answer my questions and assuage my concerns. The whole Manausa team was great. Thanks for your help.
We worked with one of the buyer associates, Alex Gutterman, to locate a property in Tallahassee. He was very helpful in identifying areas for us to look in, set up a search area on line and eventually show us properties when we were in town. His knowledge of the city was very useful to us as we were looking and he took the time to understand our criteria, likes and dislikes. We have not yet found a property, but it was not due to his efforts. All in all a very good experience.
Outstanding job from Garrett and whole team !! Purchasing this property turned out to be a lengthy process and Garrett was there each step of the way. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and a pleasure to deal with. He even set us up with a lender who also was very professional and got us a decent rate in a difficult environment.Look forward to enjoying our new home. Highly recommend Garrett and whole Manausa team, they are truly professionals in all aspects.
An extremly professional company with nice and helpful employees in all positions. Lindsey was very helpful (and patient, I might add) when dealing with someone like myself, who hasn't went through the home buying process in over 15 years. All in all, it was a very positive (if somewhat frustrating at times due to the crazy market) experience and I will not hesitate to reccomend the Joe Manausa Real Estate Company to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in Tallahassee.
Shannon and the crew at Manausa were superb. My GF and I were first-time home buyers and went to their offices not sure what to expect. Shannon and Marcus walked us through the entire process, from finding the perfect house to closing and everything in between. We liked that Shannon understood what we were looking for and didn't waste our time showing houses outside of our price range or without the amenities we wanted/needed. After finding the right house, Shannon helped seal the deal with the seller and Manausa provided a checklist that detailed everything that needed to get done before closing. Shannon and Cay set up inspections and dealt directly with our mortgage lender to make sure we were on the right path. When the time comes to search for our next house, we will DEFINITELY go back to Shannon and the squad at Manausa and recommend for anyone looking for a house in the Tallahassee area.
Joe and his team are very dedicated to their customers and extremely knowledgeable! I would highly recommend them!
We really enjoyed our home buying experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate. Marcus Edenfield helped us every step of the way. He listened to our ideas about what we wanted in a new home and helped us achieve our goals. He was always responsive, positive, and professional. It was truly a great experience!
The Joe Manausa buying and selling teams are the best! I thought simultaneously buying and selling would be an impossible stress, but I gained my initial confidence through Marcus Edenfield and Andy Elliot, who shared with me their comprehensive knowledge of both selling and buying in Tallahassee. On my house hunt itself, I have been working mostly with Jordan, and she has been excellent! I have called and texted her with my many (sometimes odd) thoughts about and details I want in a new home, and she has been wonderfully responsive with encouraging words as well as top-notch showings. Though I have not made a decision just yet, I am 100% more comfortable with the process knowing that I have such a team of experts on my side.
Their first time home buyers presentation was very helpful and informative. Jordan was very sweet and responsive. My fiancé and I look forward to working with them in the future.
We are looking to buy a first time home over the next year and met with Alex. He covered everything there is to know about buying a home and gave us some perspective about local markets. We never felt pressured and felt they still cared about us even though we are in the early stages of the home buying process. I highly recommend meeting with someone if you want to prepare yourself to buy or even sell your home.
Wonderful people to work with. Very happy with our experience and outcome. They work as a team which I feel contributes to their success.
The Joe Manausa Team was awesome throughout both my selling and buying experience. I worked with Andy on selling my home and he worked with our schedules, listened to our concerns and made the entire process go by like a breeze. I worked with Caitlin reference the purchase of my new home and she was amazing. She responded to our questions and concerns promptly. Care went as far to work with our HOA and fence builder to get that all worked out when the seller backed out of that part of his offer. Even after the sell Cate checked on us and assisted with the last few issues we had. I was a little concerned with the two separate realtors by after the experience, I would highly recommend both Adam and Cate and the Joe Manausa team.
My fiance and I are working with Alex Gutterman in the hunt for our first home! I cannot say enough good things about him -- we love him! He always makes himself available in our weird and busy schedules, and is very personable and easy to talk to. Also, never once has he not showed up with a smile on his face -- even in the pouring rain.As first-time home buyers, we needed some guidance and he has made it so easy for us. He explained documents, lingo, etc. We highly recommend Alex for your next realtor needs!
WE will definitely be telling all of our friends and family members about him!!
As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I didn't have much knowledge about the housing market. The realtors at Joe Manausa Real Estate made our first experience a wonderful one! They were so great at explaining everything to us, and making sure we got our perfect home at the perfect price. They were quick to answer all of our questions, and fought hard to get us the house we had our hearts set on. So happy we found them!
I was very happy with my experience with the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. As a first-time homebuyer, Kevin Milligan took the time to explain the home buying process to me through a detailed presentation and explained various facets regarding the Tallahassee market. As a newcomer to the Tallahassee area, Jordan Lamb and Cait Saunders showed me several homes in different neighborhoods until I found the right fit for my family. Jordan was especially on point with answering our many follow up questions. This team was helpful throughout the home purchasing process, and we are happy to have found the exact home that we wanted in our targeted neighborhood. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Tallahassee area.
I could not be anymore pleased with my experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate and in particular, my sales agent, Marcus Edenfield. Marcus showed me numerous properties and made sure that I made the best possible decision when choosing a home to buy. The home that I did end up buying was an older home and required numerous inspections and re-inspections. Marcus scheduled all of the inspections and met the inspectors at the property each time they had to pay a visit. He was always quick to return phone calls and text messages and answered (very patiently) the myriad of questions that I had. Thank you Marcus!
Kevin was very knowledgeable. He really took the time to explain the local seller's market and all about buying a home. He showed us a few homes and Marcus showed us the home we made an offer on. Marcus was great at handeling the inspections and keeping me informed about the inspections and everything that goes with closing on a house. Great communication from both of them, thank you!
My husband and I worked with Lindsey, who was nothing short of outstanding. She knew the market, Tallahassee neighborhoods and most of all, had a sixth sense into what my husband and I were looking for (I didn't have to precious waste time looking at properties - she had already filtered through those herself). As first-time homebuyers, we greatly appreciated her knowledge, enthusiasm, professionalism, promptness and patience. Lindsey is truly sincere and just an overall good person - which shines through in her dogged work ethic. When I think of grace under pressure, she comes to mind. Lindsey will never stop working on something until she thinks it's top-notch (this isn't something you have to request from her, she just gets it and does it) . If you're in the market to buy/sell a home, make the right first step and request to work with Lindsey. You're guaranteeing yourself peace of mind and a phenomenal experience!
I recently worked with Garrett Jack's on a real estate purchase and he provided excellent customer service. He was eager to show my wife and I several properties, and was very patient and attentive to our detail requirements for our purchase wish list. I highly recommend Garrett Jacks from Joe Manausa Real Estate.Best regards
Aaron
I've been working with Ashley J. at Joe Manuasa and she has made my experience so great! I'm a first time home buyer and she has been going above and beyond for me, she has been giving me personalized care and is always responsive to my questions and concerns. I feel so excited about my purchase and I'm so happy to have chosen to work with Joe Manuasa. Their employees really enjoy what they do and it shows! Thanks Ashley!!!!
I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate. I was a first-time home buyer and I reached out to them due to their positive reviews online and the fact that I'd seen their name around town and on some real estate sites. Lindsey and the rest of the team were fantastic to work with -- patient, accommodating, and friendly. She walked me through the entire process and helped me find exactly what I was looking for, which happened to be a new build. She even offered her thoughts on house colors and design details. Great group of people!
We love Lindsey, she has helped us so much throughout the buying process. She responds so quickly to our questions and has been great support for us as we build our home! I would recommend her to all my friends!
Marcus was helping us to find our house. He is very helpful and knows what to look at. He closed the deal with a short time. We got a great house we love. We highly recommend him.
This realty company is top notch. We worked with Kevin and Cay mainly and they are spectacular.
Wonderful people to work with. Very happy with our experience and outcome. They work as a team which I feel contributes to their success. Our agent was Jordan Scott. Jordan worked with us the entire time. He was extremely helpful and was always available when we needed him. We are truly happy with everything.
Loved referring a home listing to Eva Armstrong/Joe Manausa. I focus on land and Eva is an expert on homes. Thanks Eva I know our customer is happy. Quick sale at a great price.
Eva Armstrong is FABULOUS!!! Five star. She sold me the condo and sold it for me when I was ready. She is highly professional and proficient. She should be recognized
Thank you Eva!!!
After moving here from New England it was important for me and my family find a home that we were comfortable in. Eva is the most through real estate agent that I have ever dealt with. Her attention to detail and compassion is hard to find. I highly recommend Mannausa for real estate and investment services. Their access to financial institutions help me save over 2% on our rate and I couldn't be more happy with the property that we currently live in. Even after we purchased the home Eva continued to call to make sure there were not any loose ends that needed to be taken care of. They are truly a top-notch organization and Eva is hands-down the best agent you could ask for.
Lindsey Begue is an extremely helpful and knowledge realtor. She responds quickly and really listened to what I needed. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a pleasant home-buying experience!
I met with Ashley and Alex a few weeks ago because I was interested in finding out if I could qualify for purchasing a home. They were so kind and patient and really took the time to explain the process of home buying, they were even accommodating in answering questions that my 7yr old had! I learned a lot in meeting with them and gained a new understanding of what it is to purchase a home. Thank you Ashley and Alex I appreciate all the follow up and I will definitely recommend these 2 to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.
From start to finish my experience with Joe Manausa has been very informal and interesting. I knew from the first session that I'd find the perfect home with the Confidence of the Relators that I had Kevin M. and Jordan Lamb were very informal with the many questions I had with the home buying process to the HOA questions that I had. I'm glad I went with Tallahassee's number one Realty agency and that's why I feel I went with the Best there was. So if you're in the home buying process I'd recommend this King Ranch edition in Reality services. Thank you Jordan and KEVIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE, GUIDANCE AND MOST OF ALL YOUR DEDICATION IN FINDING ME AND MY FAMILY THE PERFECT HOME.
I have nothing but great things to say about the Joe Manausa Real Estate group. Kevin Milligan and Alex Gutterman did business with my wife and myself, as we were in the process of relocating from Orlando to Tallahassee. These gentlemen were nothing but welcoming and accommodating, and there for our every need, as we were first time home buyers. We couldn't have asked for better Real Estate Agents and better people! Thank you Joe Manausa Real Estate group!
After a terrible experience with a long-time local realtor, we decided to put our trust in Joe Manausa Real Estate. We were met by a whole team of experienced agents that took the time to listen to us, and to explain in detail what to expect when buying a home. Alex Gutterman, our agent, found us the perfect home within days, and it was not even listed yet! The process has gone smoothly, with no surprises, and we will be in our new home by Christmas. Alex and the entire team have gone above and beyond for us, and I would recommend them for anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.
We worked with Jordan Scott, Kim and Alex to sell and buy our house, and thanks to Jordan's availibilty and effort, we found our dream home, but had only 30 days to sell our house to lock into contract. 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!
We are thinking about buying a home in the near future but we do not know exactly where to start from. Therefore, my wife and I recently went to Joe Manausa Real Estate office in Tallahassee office.There, we met with Jordan and Kevin who gave us fantastic tutorial that a first time home buyer; like us need to know. We found them very friendly, professional and courteous. They are simply a great asset of Joe Manausa Real Estate. Thank you very much for your valuable information and time.
Love the team work! Staff is knowledgeable while being friendly!
Kevin has been a wonderful help in our home buying process, I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, friendly person to aid us in this pivotal point in our lives. It has been a true pleasure to work with him, and to that end, I thank JMRE for provided such a help to us.
Caitlin Saunders and the entire Manausa team was great to work with. My wife and I were coming from out of town in search of a retirement home either in Tallahassee or the surrounding area. In just 2 days we were able to find our home. Closing the deal went just as smoothly. Cate is still taking care of us by watching the property until we actually move later this year. Thanks Cate for your care and professionalism.Randy
Our search for properties in the Tallahassee area put us in contact with Caitlin Saunders a few months before arriving in Florida. From our initial contact it was evident that she was committed to understanding what we were looking for and to working closely with us to find homes that met our criteria. When we finally arrived, we were excited to meet the individual who had so patiently worked with us for months. Happily, we were not disappointed with Caitlin. She was knowledgeable, personable, professional and very well prepared. We only had one day to see multiple properties and she tirelessly escorted us around, describing the pros and cons of the different communities around Tallahassee. In the end, we did not choose Tallahassee as our new place of residence, but it is in no way a reflection of the dedicated effort put forth by Caitlin to do so. If you are in the market for a new home in the Tallahassee area, we would highly recommend Caitlin as your agent and guide. Never once did we feel that we were inconveniencing her or that the possibility of us not settling in the area made her any less committed to giving us 100% of her time and energy. She is an impressive individual and a stellar representative of Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Ashley has been a pleasure to work with and has been making the process of buying my first home a dream. Hoping to close in the next few weeks! Thank you Ashley and Joe Manausa Realty
About a month ago, I was in need of purchasing a home. I had heard nothing but fantastic reviews from Joe Manausa Real Estate from friends and family. I was put in touch with Kevin M. and Cate S., and I have been so pleased! Kevin and Cate listened to my needs, budget, concerns, and they helped me purchase a home that met everything on my list! They were amazing throughout the whole process, on top of everything, which made this huge purchase a total breeze! I could not have imagined this experience to have been any better than it was, and Kevin, Cate and everyone else I came in contact with at Joe Manausa, made it possible! I am looking forward to recommending them in the future!
:)
Jordyn and her supervisor were great. They explained the whole process to us in depth! We look forward to working with them!
Love how easy they made everything. Everyone is very professional, efficient and there for you every step of the way.
Jordan with Joe Manausa Real Estate is a great asset to your company. He has been very thorough about the real estate business and making sure that the process of becoming a homeowner is going smooth for me. He has shared his wealth of knowledge so that I am very aware of ALL that I need to know. Cheers to Jordan and kudos to Kevin for training and mentoring him. They are doing such an awesome job! 
??????????
Eva Armstrong is the best. She always listens to the client, immediately responds to requests. She is very efficient with handling bureaucracy, lawyers, bankers, sellers.
What an amazing experience! Jason was one of the best realtor we have worked with! Made the process very simple. If you want a realtor that is attentive, knowledge, and hard working, Jason is the realtor to use.
Ashley and Kevin were marvelous last night. Our questions and concerns were addressed and put to ease. We are excited and cannot wait to start!
I am a first time homebuyer. Jordan L. was very helpful from start to finish. I was able to sit down with her before I started the process of looking for a home. My first meeting with her was very informative. She was able to find me a home in a great neighborhood with the upgrades I was looking for. (And within my budget.) She was always there to answer questions. She really went above and beyond to make sure I got what I wanted and that the process went smoothly. I would definitely recommend her to any homebuyers.
I cannot say enough good things about this company and all of the individuals that work here. I first contacted this company a couple years ago looking to purchase a home. I was super impressed when I showed up to meet Garrett, where instead of just letting me throw myself into looking at homes without having a clue where to start, took the time to educate my husband and I on the entire process from start to finish. Unfortunately at that time it turned out we weren't as ready as we thought to buy, but instead of pressuring us into something we couldn't afford or completely abandoning us all together, they offered us solutions and put us in contact with people who could help us get where we needed to be to become homeowners. Garrett stayed in touch often (but not too often to become pushy) just to check in and make sure we were doing okay and offered to be of help when we were ready. 2 years later I reached out to Kevin on a Saturday evening with an email saying we were ready. Kevin emailed me back the next morning by that evening he had me in touch with an excellent lender Mitch, who had me preapproved the very next day. That Monday Kevin showed us a house I had my sights on for some time and my offer was accepted the next day. Less than an month later my husband and I had closed on our home! I can't believe how smooth the entire process went which would not have been possible without everyone's hard work and constant communication , including Cay and Caren. Everyone was SO friendly and welcoming. At closing, they even congratulated us with a bottle of sparkling champagne and delicious cakes from "Nothing Bundt Cakes". If I ever need to purchase or sell another home, I will without a doubt, be chosing Manausa!
I had the pleasure of working with Jordan L. I am a first time home buyer. I met with Jordan before I got started with the process. She let me know what I should expect and how the process worked. Jordan was helpful from day one. She found me a house within my budget with the upgrades I wanted and in a great neighborhood. She definitely stays on top of things and has been great throughout this process.
Manausa real estate is highly recommended. Alex Gutterman and team got us through a complicated negotiation process and which allowed us to purchase our home at the price point that worked for us.
Alex Gutterman and the entire Manausa team have done a great job with our home purchase. I can't say the some other local realtors. Great job.
My Meet&Greet with Jordan and Kevin was a great experience, very informative, educational, and a wonderful team of people helping to make my dream come true. I am very excited and look forward to working with the Joe Manausa Staff, with purchasing our first home.
I'm so glad we have chosen Joe Manausa Real Estate to help us purchase our next home! Everyone is so helpful and always willing to help any way possible. Jordan, our agent has been on top of things since day 1 and always there when we need her to show us a house. Highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate!!
Jordan, me and Jason are very excited as well and can't wait to get keys in our hands! I'm so glad we chose Joe Manausa Real Estate!! It's been pleasant searching for a house and with no stress.
joe manausa group is very helpful with everything
You can tell a lot about a company by how it treats outgoing employees. I recently left the Joe Manausa team to pursue a rare opportunity in the non-profit field, and everyone all the way up was nothing but supportive. This team has so much heart, and they really do work their tails off for you. They use a combined pool of knowledge and other resources to give each client a small business approach with large scale expertise. They have 5-Star ratings across the board for a reason, and I will always do business with them.
Our experience working with Zack Silver and Jordan Scott has been wonderful so far. I couldn’t believe how responsive they were to all of our requests and questions, and they knew far more than we ever hoped to about the process of buying a home. We are looking forward to a wonderful home buying experience!
I came to the office not knowing what was expected from me when it came to buying a home since I will be a first time home buyer. Jordan Scott let me know the ins and outs ups and downs of the process. I felt very informed and he was very welcoming it was as if we already knew each other. I could go on and on about the great service I received from Mr Scott he’s and all around GREAT agent.
Manausa Real Estate was great, everyone was nice, and very helpful! Everything they promised, happenned. I worked with Ashey J. she was wonderful, walked me the through all the steps, and always keep me informed of where we were in the process. Always friendly, and helpful! She even helped with fixing some wood rot for me before the inspection! (who does that?) I would highly trust them with finding you your dream home! Have already refererred two peers of mine to them, and told them to ask for Ashley! If I had to buy a house again, it will only be with Manausa Real Estate! The Best! Stephanie Goldberger
We worked with Lindsey to find our first home and we had a very good experience. She listened to us and also gave great advice. She helped us feel very comfortable about our investment and stuck with us to find a house we really wanted in our desired part of town.
Thank you Alex and Kevin from Joe Manausa Real Estate, words cannot express how grateful we were to have you work with us to find that perfect house that we've been searching for. You guys were able to answer all our questions that we had and went above and beyond to get us to look at different houses as we saw when we would drive around to different houses.Thank you and happy holidays -Bhakta Family
Great experience with Lindsey in finding out first home! She listened, gave advice and helped us make an informed decision. I feel great about our investment and so excited to be in our new house.
We are in the process of buying a house and have been working with Jordan Scott at Joe Manausa. Jordan has been attentive, responsive, and very helpful thus far. We feel that we are in great hands and look forward to our new house!
Working with Cate Saunders, and Joe Manausa Real Estate, to recently purchase a home for a family member was a wonderful experience. Cate made sure all my needs were met, and all my questions were answered, often before I asked. I would highly recommend Cate to all my friends and family members.
When life gives you lemons, you call JM and they make the best Arnold Palmer in the world! We found ourselves having to buy our first home in a matter of weeks. We were completely overwhelmed with the concept, but it all changed when we sat down with Kevin & Ashley. From that point on, our family knew we would be in the best of care. From having our hearts broken with silly malfunctioning prospects to finding the home that fit us just right, Ashley & the JM crew were the best support to have especially as we were expecting our first little one weeks after we needed to close. We truly feel that they care about their home buyers. From the hand delivered pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving to the texts reminders, we knew we were receiving first class treatment from a company that makes you feel like family. We could not have been more blessed with the JM team. #happyhomebuyer #realtorofourdreams #blessed
Our recent home purchase truly could not have gone more smoothly. Caitlin Saunders was prompt, responsive, and thorough. She simply made the whole experience easy, even after I made her wait a whole year before finally deciding on a place! Outstanding service!
I worked with Cate Saunders to find the perfect home for a family member. She went out of her way to make buying a home a wonderful experience, from arranging the initial viewing to scheduling all the necessary inspections and the closing. She answered my many questions with a smile, every time! I loved working with Cate, and would highly recommend her to my family and friends.
Jordan L and Alex were great and so helpful when we sat down to meet. They made us both feel so comfortable when we felt so lost buying our first house. Thanks guys! Can't wait to find our home!
From the first time I spoke with Ashley Jacquin I knew that our client was going to be in good hands. Ashley's knowledge of the real estate market in her area was amazing. If I were to recommend any of my clients, she would be the first person I would call. From the start Ashley responsiveness to my questions and our clients questions were on point and her negotiation skills are fantastic. I also find her to be a team player and in this market that is what it takes to get the best results for our clients. If you are looking for a home and want to be represented the way you should be, Ashley is the one to call.
We recently purchased a home through Joe Manausa Real Estate. The whole process was very organized. They have an individual who handles all of the closing details who was great. Our agent, Cate Saunders was fantastic. She was very patient as we looked at many houses --she listened and made great suggestions. She was a pleasure to work with.
Joe Manausa for my home purchase experience was hands down the best. I worked with a new agent, Amber Mendelson. The real estate group as a whole works together to ensure every single need of the buyer is met. The group takes the time to train and teach their newbies to ensure they only have the best of the best. Amber is a huge assent to their group and was instrumental in my ability to purchase my house. I have no doubt that it was because of her charm and persistence that the seller ultimately sold me my house!
I got the Keys, Keys, Keys! I got the Keys, Keys, Keys! In my DJ Khaled Voice! lol! Throughout the process, the Joe Manausa Real Estate team was very professional and well organized in their approach to helping me and wife to purchase our first home! Goal Complete! Jordan Scott my Realtor was very attentive and responsive to our every need. His knowledge about the market and play-by-play instructions allowed us to close our house a few days early. Once the contract was established, I felt as though we went on autopilot. Their team of vendors was able to complete the necessary inspections and provided clear explanations of the conditions of our home. I am grateful to give a "5Star" review and would recommend you to choose Joe Manausa Real Estate team for your home buying needs! Happy Holidays!
John Bozeman at Joe Manuasa Real Estate...I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I rarely do testimonials, but Joe Manausa Real Estate truly deserves one. After living in our home for over 18 years, we were ready for a change. We had been working with Lindsey Begue, who knew exactly what was on our wish list. Lindsey knew the market and showed us a new build that was soon to be listed. We saw it, loved it, and wrote a contract. The next day, our current house was advertised as a “coming soon” and was under contract on the day it was listed by Andy and the listing team. Both houses closed simultaneously within 3 weeks. We are enjoying our new home!
We absolutely loved working with Ashley to buy our first home. We had a short amount of time to find a house and Ashley was a huge part in us finding a great place in our budget so quickly. She answered all our questions honestly and worked hard on finding us places in the areas we liked. She didn’t feel pushy or impatient as we looked at so many houses, as other realtors did. She was very upfront about where we were in the process and helped us understand everything and did a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly. Ashley truly is the sweetest and made our first home buying experience wonderful! I can’t recommend her enough!
As a first time homebuyer, Eva was extraordinarily helpful in explaining the home buying process, communicating regular updates and coordinating inspections to meet my scheduling needs. Eva is well connected with resources in the community to handle potential barriers and made the process as smooth as possible. After closing I returned home to a beautifully lit Christmas tree to welcome me to my new home. I highly recommend that you choose Eva Armstrong for all of your real estate needs!
My wife and I just recently bought our first home through Joe Manausa Real Estate. We shopped around through different agencies to see who would be a good fit for us and we definitely found it at Joe Manausa. Our agent Ashley Jacquin was always available and extremely helpful. Unlike other agencies, no one ever felt pushy; however, they were urgent when needed to be. Thank you for all your help, patience, knowledge, professionalism and friendliness through this home buying process.
Wonderful experience buying my first home with Joe Manasua! The team is always available and respond so quickly to phone calls and emails! Really can’t recommend them any higher!
Highly recommend Joe Manasua Real Estate! Absolutely had the best experience with the entire staff buying my first home.
Jordan Lamb, Jordan Scott and Alex all did a fantastic job getting me into my new home. Thanks everyone!
It was a great experience working with Kevin and Ron. Kevin was so patient with us when we were so undecided about the location where we wanted to buy. He never pushed us and waited for us to make the decision and helped us to get the house we wanted. Ron stepped in when we were in a hurry to sell the old one giving us the suggestions to get the house ready for show. It was pleasure working with both of them and we will definitely share this with our friends. Thanks Kevin and Ron
While my S/O and I did not end up buying a house due to unforeseen circumstances, Alex Gutterman was an absolutely phenomenal and professional source of guidance and knowledge for us. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to teach us as first time home buyers. We hope that once things level out in our personal lives that we can reconvene and we would absolutely use Alex and Joe Manausa Real Estate again. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and time.
My sales associate is the best! Jordan Lamb, has worked with me and my husband since the summer of 2017. I would recommend anyone in the community to purchase a home from Manausa Real Estate!!!
We are experienced home buyers and had our eye on the market for well over a year. We asked Lindsey Begue to show us several houses once we really became serious. We requested to see a house that we found on a website, which was nice, just not the one for us. She also set an appointment for another house the same day which met all of the criteria we were looking for, but we had not come across in any of our own searches. This was it! We wrote a contract on it that night and we closed within 1 month. Now we are living in a beautiful home in an incredible neighborhood. We couldn't ask for more! Lindsey was in constant contact with us throughout the entire process, from home search to closing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new home.
I have been a real estate broker in California for over 20 years and have been involved in over 1000 transactions. I was looking to purchase and investment property in Tallahassee. I contacted the Manausa team and was connected with Kevin Milligan. We had an initial conversation of what I was looking for on a Friday. Saturday Kevin emailed me some properties he thought fit my criteria. Sunday he picked me up and we viewed the properties. Monday we wrote the offer. The properties he had pre-selected were spot on for what I wanted. The transaction closed on time and was one of the best transactions in my 20 years of a real estate professional that I have been involved in. Kevin and I are staying in touch and he will continue to send emails of properties that could be a great fit for me in the future. We will be working together until he retires. One last note, be sure to ask for the Manausa title team to handle your closing. Just as professional, accurate and timely as Kevin.
I went in for basic information on buying a home and truly felt well informed when I left. The realtors stayed in contact after my initial visit to see if I had any questions or wanted to move forward. They were very consistent as well as patient. During the home buying process they were ALWAYS a text message or phone call away. Jordan Lamb was my agent and she was excellent. I owe her a huge thank you for the home I'm in now, as she's the one who caught it! They will go above and beyond for you. Thank you to all the team members at Joe Manausa for your help as I purchased my first home. I highly recommend them!
Our family could not have had a better experience as first time home buyers!!! Our Realtor Ashley Jacquin was OUTSTANDING!! She and our lendor Phillip Ferguson handled it all.. We just sat back and waited for the keys!! We can't say enough good about the process and the Joe Manausa Team! Thank yall for helping our family find our first place to call home!!
Amber Mendelson and Kevin Milligan were a pleasure to work with! We were very anxious about starting the home buying process for the first time, but they made it such a smooth process. Kevin sat with us for over a hour to ensure we understood every step of the process. Amber worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great partnership. Thank you for all you do!
Jordan was very helpful and made the process less stressful for my husband and I.
Jordan Scott is by far the most amazing real estate professional I’ve ever met. He’s a grade “A” human being on top of it all! He’s been helping my mother and I find two homes in Tallahassee. I cannot say enough good about him! Mom lives way out of town and while she’s been visiting, he’s been going out of his way to be available to us and has been taking us literally all over town. I have never heard him complain, he’s entirely focused on making sure we’re happy. If you need a home in Tallahassee, and you go with anyone other than Mr. Scott, you have done yourself a great disservice. Jordan is the best!!!!!
Jason Madsen was our realtor for selling and purchasing and my husband and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. He was always on top of everything, had great suggestions, and was informative in regards to all of the properties we looked at. You couldn't ask for someone with a better personality! Highly recommend him!!
Jordan Scott is the most patient realtor I’ve ever met! For two days, we went EVERYWHERE because I kept changing my mind on where I wanted to live (from Golden Eagle to Southwood and everything in between). He had extensive knowledge regarding builders and developments, which had proven very helpful as I am from out of town. I am fully confident that Jordan will help me find my perfect house in Tallahassee!
My husband and I cannot express enough how thankful we are to Jordan Lamb, at Manausa, for the manner in which she handled the process of the closing of our Deer Haven home in Tallahassee!!! 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
Wow, my wife and I just purchased our first home, and I have to say, that these guys truly did more than an outstanding job. Kevin, Cate, Cay and the whole team truly simplified the process for us and made it easy! From sitting down with us months before we were ready to buy, to linking us up with our excellent loan officer Mitch Wright that helped us navigate the financing aspect of buying our home, all the way through closing. What made it so easy was that whenever we had a question, big or small, they were only a phone call or a text away. I honestly could not recommend these guys enough and would gladly recommend them to anyone and everyone. I don't plan on moving again anytime soon, but when I do, I'll be giving Kevin and the rest of the team a call to help me find the next one!
I sold two houses and purchased one all within a six month period. Everybody at Joe Manausa Real Estate was great throughout the process.
Kevin made our home buying experience very good. His professionalism is second to none. We look forward to working with him in the future. We highly recomend Manausa Reality!
My recent house buying experience was a complete pleasure. With Ashley Jacquin as my agent, and Cay Newell to help out, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The whole process went quite smoothly. Everyone involved in helping me buy my house ROCKED!
Flawless experience with true 5* professionals. I would recommend this team to anyone. Amber and Kevin were a pleasure to work with.
We just recently bought our house, and Jordan Lamb was amazing at everything she did for us. From the first day when we met Jordan she was able to answer any question we had. Once we had decided on our house Jordan advised us on how to proceed and what the next step would be, she even created a little calendar for us to make sure that we had all our 'ducks' in a row to make everything as painless as possible. When it came to closing, she was amazing again, and made sure that the closing process was completely seamless. If we ever need anything real estate wise again I will be contacting Jordan, and Manausa Real Estate, for everything. And if anyone I know is looking to buy/sale I will definitely be sending them this way.
Wow! I can’t say enough about my experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate! From my initial meeting with Kevin Milligan to the final closing day, my Realtor, Marcus Edenfield made the process very easy and convenient. He and the entire staff were extremely knowledgeable and always provided excellent and timely customer service! I am delighted to provide this review and would definitely recommend others to visit Joe Manausa for your real estate needs. Signed, -One happy first time Homebuyer
My husband and I are currently in the process of buying our first home. We have worked with both Kevin and Jordan and both have been exceptional with us. Kevin is who we first met with, and he was very patient and understanding through all of our endless questions. Jordan is who we worked with through the rest of the process and to say that he was there for us would be a understatement. He made himself available to us and worked very hard for us. You could tell that he had our best interest in mind throughout the entire process. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Caitlin Saunders provided an incredible level of support for my wife and I as we purchased our first house. There were some very low points in this process and Caitlin worked tirelessly to help us and ultimately was the glue that held the deal together. Without her, we wouldn't have our dream house. She is a fantastic employee, and I hope dearly that Joe realizes what an amazing staff member they have.
My husband and I were beyond lucky to work with Caitlin Saunders through the construction and closing of our first home. There were some serious bumps in the road, but Caitlin worked tirelessly to make sure that we were taken care of. She was readily available to answer any questions we might have and was always straightforward. I couldn't more highly recommend her!
At Joe manausa real estate you are getting fantastic service. They helped my family find a home that fits us. They are thorough and pretty much hold your hand the entire way. Amber was an amazing realtor who was super patient with us. She made sure we were happy and she was very personable. If u are looking to buy or sell go with joe manausa. You wont be disappointed
Ashley made my first home buying experience painless and simple! She answered all questions and was always attentive to my needs and concerns. Everything was perfect!
Natalie Wallace
Great team of hungry go getters very professional and always understanding! Top notch group!
We had a fantastic home buying and selling experience with Joe Manausa Realty. Lindsey Begue and Ron Rice were right there with us every step of the way. We can’t thank them enough for helping us find our Tallahassee dream home.
We had to do most of the process remotely and Marcus at Manausa made this very easy. He quicky knew what we were looking for and he found it!
I'm in the process of purchasing a home with Kevin and Lindsey and they have been great during the entire process so far. They've kept me informed and Cay has kept me on schedule with all required paperwork.
We can't thank Kevin Milligan enough for his expertise during our home buying adventure! We appreciated his professionalism, knowledge of the area, and good-natured personality. He made the process both easy and fun! We thank Cay Newell for helping us navigate the closing process with ease! We will be recommending Joe Manausa Real Estate to all our friends looking to buy or sell!
Marcus Edenfield has been outstanding from the beginning. He explained the process thoroughly, checks in regularly, and goes above and beyond to advocate on our behalf. We are very pleased with the help and guidance he has provided. Thank you.
Let me start by saying I have never had better a better experience in buying a home thanks to the Joe Manausa Real Estate Group. Starting with Ean , Kevin and Ashley, and Marcus, they all made our experience such a pleasant one. Kevin showed us the different neighborhoods and listened to our responses. Since either my husband or myself had ever been to Tallahassee, we needed guidance and good information. We then meet Marcus and things started clicking. He knew his business and was a really nice guy. He went above and beyond to help us find our home. We will be forever singing their praises and will recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to everyone.
truly earned every star. from Kevin Milligan to cay and everyone i worked with it was top of the line service.
Me and my husband are in the process of buying our first home, we had a lot of questions and Jordan Lamb was able to answer each one of them during our first meeting and we felt very confident and in good hands, 2 weeks later she was able to find the perfect home for me and my family and we are now less than a month from closing, we are very pleased with the service provided by Jordan and the Manausa real estate team, Jordan made the process of finding a home easy and stress free, she listened to every detail, and always reminded me that she is here for us! I can’t thanks them enough. I will definitely recommend Manausa Real Estate to family and friends
Joe Manausa Real Estate and agent Alex Gutterman were awesome to work with in finding our new forever dream lakeside home. Initially, we had no idea what we wanted exactly, but Alex was always on the lookout for something that might work for us. And, he was always available to show us homes we wanted to see, sometimes more than once. Ron Rice, was also a huge help in giving guidance. And when we finally selected our dream home, the whole team was there for us every step of the way. Thank you all and keep up the great work for our community.
Thank you Marcus for helping us find a lot to build our new home on. Marcus was very responsive to our needs, introduced us to several builders, and helped negotiate our contract. He was prompt with answers to our questions and very easy to deal with.
Ron sold our house in three days. Marcus found us a new property within a week of our calling him. Both were very professional and organized. My wife and I were extremely pleased with their professionalism.
This group is the best real estate company we have ever worked with. They worked as a team; everyone had their job to do and they did it well. We enjoyed the expertise that Ean, Kevin and Ashley presented to us but Markus was a standout!! He was so helpful and pleasant to work with. Nothing like working with a "Home Town Guy"!!! He knows Tallahassee and the neighborhoods we were interested in. He went out of his way to make sure we found the home we were looking for. Thanks, Markus!!
Highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate and agent Alex Gutterman particularly, if you are looking to buy a new home in Tallahassee. They were awesome to work with, in finding and buying our dream lakeside home. From helping us figure out what we wanted, to searching and showing us homes, Alex was always there for us. Ron Rice, gave us great guidance about the current market, helped us narrow down what we needed to prepare for, etc. Their team approach to buying and selling real estate was so wonderful and much less stressful than any real estate experience we have had in the past.
Joe Manausa Real Estate is the real deal, these folks work hard to make their customers happy! We had the opportunity to work with Kevin Milligan, who was exceptional from day 1. He went out of his way to accommodate our home buying needs and kept us well informed throughout the whole process. We are so grateful to Kevin for helping us find our home! Cay Newell has done an outstanding job coordinating our closing and ensuring the process is easy and stress-free. We can't thank you enough!
I'm currently working with Kevin and Lindsey and have been extremely satisfied with their services.
JMRE provided us with a quick study of Tallahassee and helped us remotely to find our new home. They understood our needs and Marcus came up with EXACTLY what we wanted. THe whole process was made easy for us.
Kevin Milligan and Cay Newell helped us find the perfect home and made home buying an enjoyable experience.
Marcus and Amber were great through every step of the process: from explaining how everything would work and helping us understand the market until the moment of closing. They constantly called to make sure we were comfortable and were always ready to answer. I would recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell in Tallahassee.
Our home buying experience with Manausa Realty was very pleasant. Thank you Lindsey Begue and Ron Rice for all that you did to get our family into our Tallahassee dream home.
Our buyer agent Alex Gutterman of Joe Manausa Real Estate helped us find our wonderful lakeside home. Alex helped us find the right house, one that was greater than we ever imagined we could get. After finding our dream home, the Manausa team made everything so easy and smooth to the very end. Let them help you make your housing dreams come true.
Working with Kevin Milligan to buy our new home was a delight. Kevin devoted so much time and effort to helping us find the perfect home. We couldn't be happier! In addition, Cay Newell has been wonderful and professional while helping us navigate the closing process. We can't thank them enough and will be recommending Joe Manausa Real Estate to all our friends looking to buy or sell!
Working with the Joe Manausa Real Estate group has been a great experience. We were paired with Alex to start this adventure. He was very knowledgeable about the whole process and worked hard to find us our house. If your looking for a house I def recommend the Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Amber and Marcus were both great in helping us find the perfect home. They were always accommodating and working around my difficult schedule. Highly recommended!
Our agent Jordan Lamb worked very hard to help us find a house in our price range. Due to our short timeline she had to move quickly to get viewings for us. We were very please with the effort and results.
Amber Mendelson & Cay Newell were the 2 I had the most contact with while trying to find my wife and I first home. They were both amazing! We found the perfect home to fit all of our needs. They make sure that they had our best interest and continued to communicate with us during the process. I have already recommended Joe Manausa Real Estate to family, friends and co workers. This group of people are awesome!
Eva was very helpful and patient, and always worked to find answers to my questions (if she didn't already have them).
My husband and I have been working with the Manausa team since February. We flew in specifically to find a house that we could buy and they were very prepared and started us off with exactly what we needed. Ashley Q. spent all day every day working with us and finding anything new that fit our needs. We were wishy washy, unsure and not on the same page as a couple at times but that didn't phase her. We found out this morning that our offer was accepted and it was because she added a personal touch. I would absolutely recommend her and Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking for a home.
I want to commend Jordan Lamb on her excellent service & professionalism. She gave me the most amazing home buying experience a gal could ask for. She was very prompt, honest & genuine. I not only bought a home but I gained a friend also. Joe Manausa Real Estate exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home. They have the best website also. They update their site everyday so the information is accurate and the picture quality is superb. Thank you Kevin Milligan for your southern hospitality you were very helpful and a pleasure to work with also. Way to go you guys!!!! -Signed a happy home owner
I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate! Alex Gutterman has been super helpful and responsive during our home buying process. He was able to answer the many questions my husband and I (first time home buyers) threw his way. We are so happy with our choice in using this team.
On March 29, 2018 I found my home in Tallahassee. Thanks to Lindsey Begue and Jordan Lamb for providing nonstop, attention to detail searches for the ideal house. The search began more than two years ago and Lindsey has been 100% responsive and connected to the process. Because of her experience living in Tallahassee, I was comfortable with her feedback regarding places to live in town. I'm grateful to the team that consisted of attorney's office staff and other Realtors who made closing on this house a reality. On May 3rd, I closed on the house and have since met my new neighbors who have embraced me into the community. Thank you.
Amber Mendelson and Caitlin Saunders did an excellent professional presentation informing us of the Tallahasse area. They gave us all the information we needed to make a good financial decision on the house. I highly recommend them.
Although my wife and I decided not to buy a home, we would definitley recomend Joe Manausa to anyone in the market. We worked with Alex, who was very responsive to our questions and showed us a few homes. I’d recomend his services if you are house hunting.
More than 2 years ago I started my search for a home in Tallahassee. My first experience at Joe Manausa Realty was with Lindsey Begue and Kevin. We set together in the office discussed my requirements and a plan was developed. For the following two years, Lindsey was vigilant in the search for listings that met all of my requirements. After making an early offer on another home, a bidding war ensued, and I missed out on that home. Unfazed, Lindsey continued to bring new houses to my attention and set up appointment to visit other properties. Out of the blue, my new home was presented to me on March 29th and I signed the papers and happily closed on May 3rd. I'm grateful to the team that surrounded Lindsey to assist me in my searches. Especially Jordan Lamb whose kind, thoughtful disposition reassured me that the right house was there for me somewhere in Tallahassee. From beginning to the very end, I have only the most positive comments to express regarding my experiences with the entire Manausa team which includes the realtors, office staff and attorneys at closing. Thank you for helping me find my house so I can make Tallahassee my home.
Jordan has been a big help in our home buying experience. He’s efficient, responds timely and has done a great job at providing his expert advice. Although we have haven’t bought our home yet Jordan would be the only realtor we buy from in Tallahassee.
Jorden Scott was so helpful and knowledgeable. He explained the process and answerd all of our questions. We are so excited about buying a house.
Recently bought our first house with the help of Alex. He was awesome from start to finish and answered every question we had to make it a smooth process! I would highly recommend Alex and Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Both Garrett and Kevin with Joe Manausa were amazing to work with. As first time home buyers, my husband and I had a lot of questions about the process of buying a home. From the initial meeting with them we knew we would use their company for home buying experience. They helped us every step of the way and made everything quick and easy. If we ever had a question about anything, they were very quick to respond. I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to buy a house in the Tallahassee Area!
Kevin Milligan and Lindsey Begue of Joe Manausa Real Estate are a superb team to work with. Five minutes into our initial meeting I knew that I was going to stick with them and did not even consider anyone else. Lindsey was my point of contact through the entire house hunting process, she was responsive to all my queries and questions never letting me wait for more than 15-30 minutes before responding. I am an out of town buyer and she was most accommodating over the memorial day weekend as we ran around Tallahassee and saw 10 houses in 2 days. I am happy to say that we found one which I liked, made an offer, went through a counter offer process which was accepted and it was all accomplished over the long weekend thanks to her responsiveness and expert advice on the Tallahassee real estate market. Save yourself a lot of grief and go with Lindsey and the Joe Manausa team!
My husband and I had a great experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate and working with Kevin and Cay. We found a house fairly quickly using their website and Kevin helped make everything as painless as possible. We could not have asked for a smoother first time home buying experience.
We looked high and low on the east side of Tallahassee to find a home that met our specific needs and price range after looking at a lot of different property's that either did not meet all of our needs or needed a lot of work we were starting to get discouraged. We did not know a lot about the real estate market (just average people looking for an average home in a nice Neighbourhood) that's when we met Kevin with Joe Manausa Real Estate. He actually took the time and sat down with us to find out we wanted and could afford (not the usual need a home well here's one let’s put in an offer!) we talked about our specific wants and needs and he tailored his offerings to match us Not the other way around (refreshing to say the least). The amount of time we spent looking at different properties was some times over whelming but, Kevin helped us by using his knowledge in real Estate market to help steer us to the right property. One thing I can personally say is that I like dealing with a person that is straight to the point and tells it like it is good or bad because that can save you from buying the wrong house or worse a house you can’t afford! Kevin is that person and I would like send out a big Thank you to him! The whole team at Joe Manausa Real Estate are very nice, professional, and easy to talk to and are also able to translate all of the Real Estate lingo into something the average person can understand. That is becoming a rarity now days so Joe Manausa Real Estate Please keep up the great work and thank you very much for Helping me and my wife find our dream home!
We loved working with Stacy from the Manausa team! She was extremely helpful and took time to really understand what we were looking for in a home. Couldn't be happier!
Meeting with their team was a great first step, we learned a lot. Also Alex is one of the best if not the best there has very knowledgeable and doesn't let time go by without getting back with you on his busy schedule. If I can go through this process again I wouldn't change a thing
The house buying experience was scary at first but meeting Alex and him helping with the process has been excellent. He is attentive and helps with all our questions. He is always on time with appointments and is very hands on with helping me and my husband finding a house. I would recomend Alex to anyone I know looking to buy a house. Keep up the great work Alex.
Alex Gutterman made buying our first home a walk in the park! We appreciated his and the entire Manausa Real Estate team's knowledge along the way and was never left with an unanswered question! In the end, it came down to Alex's experience that got us the house of our dreams and beating out another offer. If you're buying a home in the competitive market of Tallahassee, you need these guys in your corner!
I had an amazing experience with this company! They were absolutely wonderful and I honestly believe that we would not have found out dream home without them. Garrett, our realtor, was very patient with our unique situation, and he went above and beyond to ensure we got the home we wanted and at a price we could afford. I cannot say enough good things about this company!
Joe manausa is a great company to use from start to finish. All their employees are actively involved when needed to help with certain areas. 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.
We recently used Manausa Realty to build our new home in Crawfordville, FL. Eva Armstrong helped us through the entire process — from searching for the correct builder to ensuring that the punch list was completed. She guided us througout our first home purchase, explained all of the paperwork in detail, and ensured that all of our needs were met. Eva consistently went above and beyond for our family, and we are so thankful for her services!
Ashley was great. Responsive and cognizant of my time. She was a real pleasure to work with and I will be recommending her to anyone I know that is looking for help with buying or selling.
I was recommended to Stacie Boone at Joe Manausa Real Estate in Tallahassee, FL from a friend and it could not have been any better. My wife and I currently live in Tampa, FL and were looking a new home in Tallahassee. Before we made the trip to Tallahassee we explained to Stacie what we were looking for and when we arrived she spent an entire day presenting us with 8-10 homes that met our criteria. Once we selected the home for us and got the contract signed Stacie did not stop there. As the home needed some repairs before the closing and the listing agent did not seem to be interested in arranging for the repairs, Stacie coordinated several repairs estimates for the "seller", got the work order approved, coordinated the repairs and verified they were complete by sending me pictures. During the month long process Stacie was always available via text or phone and never waited more than an hour to respond to any of my inquiries. As we were 5 hours away in Tampa, after the closing Stacie stopped by the house to make sure it was locked up securely and helped coordinate and verify the utilities were activated. Every JMRE team member I worked with was knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I would definitely use JMRE again and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a stress free home purchase or sale. Thanks again Stacie Boone....
We enjoyed our experience working with Jordan and Manausa Real Estate. We highly recommend Jordan as she was quick to respond, honest in her communication and a pleasure to work with.
So this is my first home, Ashley is amazing. I had very specific needs and she made it happen for my family. Her positive attitude and amazing attention to detail really helped me out. This company is great! I am grateful.
Can't say enough good things about the whole Joe Manausa Real Estate team! From initially reaching out to Lindsey Begue, she immediately made moves and put us in contact with Kevin Milligan, who helped walked us through the whole home buying process, and Alex Gutterman, who walked us through that process as well and helped us with our first showing! We found a house this morning that we loved, sent it to Alex, and within 10 minutes he confirmed an immediate showing for us. Within an hour of seeing the house, he had an a competitive offer submitted for us! Our only regret is that we didn't reach out to the team sooner. We have full confidence the rest of our home buying process is going to go just as well and couldn't be more appreciative of this team!
Working with Jordan was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her and Manausa Real Estate.
My family had a phenomenal experience working with Ashley at Joe Manausa Real Estate! She provided exceptional service from start to finish while managing our various personalities and interests! I highly recommend Ashley and her team to anyone looking to purchase a home.
What an amazing team! We only started working with the Joe Manausa Real Estate team a few days ago and are already blown away. Within a day of reaching out to Lindsey Begue, she set up a meeting for us with Kevin Milligan and Alex Gutterman. They explained the home buying process to us in full detail and instilled so much confidence that we would find the perfect home soon (which was huge as we have not had success with our previous realtor for the last 6 months). Less than 24 hours after meeting with them, we sent a house that just hit the market to Alex - within 10 minutes, he got us an immediate showing and within an hour of seeing the house, had a competitive offer submitted for us! Alex answered all of our MANY questions along the way and worked so closely with us to make sure we were comfortable and happy through everything. We know the rest of the home buying process is going to go smoothly with them and are so happy we are in good hands!
I was tight on time and needed to find a house ASAP. Jordan was phenomenal, even showed us a place on Friday night (on his day off)....we sealed the deal at noon the next day. I highly recommend enlisting this team!
What a wonderful experience we had working with Cate Saunders with Joe Manausa Real Estate Co. She was patient and kind as we explained just what we wanted and especially as we searched home after home. Thanks, Cate, we love our new home. Ed and Dale Woodruff
My fiancé and I felt pretty defeated after searching for 6 months+, submitting two offers, and still being nowhere near close to finding our first home. We finally reached out to the Joe Manausa Real Estate team (our only regret being that we didn’t sooner) and everything turned around for us! Within a day of reaching out to Lindsey Begue, she set up a meeting with Kevin Milligan and Alex Gutterman who walked us through the whole home buying process in detail, and gave us the encouragement and motivation that we would find our perfect first home soon! The next morning, we found a house just listed that we loved and sent it to Alex. Within 10 minutes, he had scheduled us an immediate showing and within an hour of seeing the home, submitted a competitive offer for us! Whatever happens from here, I know we’re in good hands with this team and have full confidence that we will find our perfect home!
We enjoyed our experience working with Jordan and Manausa Real Estate. We highly recommend Jordan as she was quick to respond, honest in her communication and a pleasure to work with.
Warren and Julie Mills
We recommend John Bozeman at Joe Manausa Real Estate. When my wife and I first contacted him, we were looking to learn more about investment properties in our area. He helped us learn more about the process and the current market with no pressure. John provided valuable recommendations and referrals that put us a good path for future real estate purchases. Thanks to John, we're now working with Mitch Wright at Bay Capital, who has been very informative regarding the mortgage process.
We wanted to recognize Caitlin Saunders who was our realtor that help us find a new home in Canopy. She was not only professional but genuinely helpful answering our questions and handling all of our concerns. She was also willing to visit as many houses as necessary to find our new home. Please know that you have a great realtor who serves her clients is such a way that highlights why people should use Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Andy Elliot was excellent always being there for me answering all questions providing moral support. I felt like I not only had a great and knowledgeable realtor but made a close friend as well !
My husband and I thought we could go about finding a house by ourselves, but a friend talked us into meeting with a member of the Joe Manausa team and we are so thankful we did. Caitlin Saunders, Kevin, and Cay went above and beyond to help us find and close within our required time frame. Caitlin knew exactly what we were looking for and as soon as she saw a property that checked off all the boxes, she made sure we were able to see the house as soon as possible. The entire team made the process so easy for these first time homeowners. :)
Jordan Scott and the Joe Manausa team are INCREDIBLE! I could not have been in better hands. I had a lot of anxiety and felt overwhelmed by the house buying process, but Jordan was incredibly patient, understanding, and beyond helpful with how familiar he was with the marketplace! He was always enthusiastic and generous with his time. :)
I worked with Marcus Edenfield at Joe Manausa. I was a first time home buyer and we ran into major issues with property and water damage/mold. While I would have liked more communication, I think thats mostly due to the fact that I didnt know any of the processes (although they do sit down and explain the normal process and costs involved) with such an extended and problematic buy - all caused by the seller and the property, not Joe Manausa or Marcus. They got me into my place and enjoying life now. I recommend these guys.
Marcus was extremely helpful from start to finish, he made sure that we understood the entire process and even gave us advice when we needed help! He was extremely patient with us, even though we were first time home buyers and needed A LOT of help!!! I would recommend working with this crew, they are patient, helpful, and knowledgeable (even with VA lending and requirements). If you need recommendations for mortgages, they have them! If you need help with finding inspectors, they have those too! It was really easy working with them and I would definitely use them again if we need to in the future! You guys are AWESOME!!!! Thank you for everything!!!
My husband and I were looking for a second home in Tallahassee. Caitlin Saunders understood our likes and dislikes and helped us to find a great home. The whole team did a great job all the way to closure. Thank you.
Marcus Edenfield helped us and worked diligently with our seller and loan officer to close on our home! He was quick and always reached out to us to make sure everything went smoothly. We are finally closing on our home tomorrow!? Great Job Thanks to Marcus and Joe Manusa’s team!
We were planning a move from California to Tallahassee when my husband retired and were looking at houses on Zillow to see what was available. We found a house in a perfect location for us and didn't want to miss a chance to buy it so we called Joe Manausa's office and were lucky to contact Caitlin Saunders. She arranged for our daughter who lives in Monticello to see the house and we made an offer on it right away. It was a difficult situation with a court-ordered sale so it took longer than normal to negotiate but Caitlin was really on top of the situation and kept us informed and she fought hard to get needed inspections and concessions for necessary repairs. Because we were still in California and unfamiliar with Tallahassee she handled so many things for us that we weren't available for. We highly recommend Caitlin and the entire Joe Manuasa team for their professional handling of our transaction.
Always courteous and whatever you want to do they listen. I know they respond quickly to any other person, and the problem is fixed. Thank you for your help
Jordan Lamb was incredible! She was very cognizant of our needs, and very patient through our concerns and questions as first time homebuyers. , Although she was our only realtor, she has by far the best customer service and product knowledge I've ever come across. She made the home-buying process a breeze, and I recommend Joe Manausa to any prospective homebuyers looking for a great experience.
UPDATE!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.
I absolutely LOVED my experience with Manausa Real Estate! My agent Amber Mendelson was amazing!! I am a young first-time home buyer, and she was really able to mentor me and answer all of my questions with insight based on her own experiences. All of the team was easy to talk to and the companies they work with are all extremely knowledgeable and professional as well. I am definitely recommending Manausa to anyone who needs a house in Tallahassee!
Everyone was super helpful and devoted. Big thanks to the Joe Manausa team ?? ESPECIALLY JORDAN SCOTT. Thank you. Very caring guy no matter the trouble!
They made the home buying process super easy and efficient. They took care of everything for us. Jordan Lamb was super helpful and informative. I couldn't have ask for a better relator.
Everyone working with Joe Manaus were professional and caring. Provided support and knowledgeable services. Thanks for all you help and devotion Jordan Scott!
I still can not believe that am a home owner, thanks to Jordan Lamb, Cay, Kevin and the entire Joe Manausa real estate group for making the home buying process as easy as possible, Jordan lamb is very knowledgeable and professional and helped me every step of the way Thanks again To Jordan Lamb and the Joe Manausa real estate group
We worked with Alex Gutterman to purchase our house, and we put him through the ringer! We must have looked at a hundred houses over the course of 6 months, and Alex was always willing and able to get us into the desired house. More importantly, he didnt hesitate to tell us his truthful opinion if we walked into a nightmare of a house. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a house in the Tallahassee area!
We cannot express enough the awesome support and service we received whilst buying our home. Amber held our hand through every part of the process and made us feel so comfortable in the process. She also gave us encouragement to think outside the box and was super patient when we were indecisive. I cannot thank her and Joe Manausa Real Estate enough through her awesome customer service but also when it came to sign the legal team were brilliant. Thank you we appreciate you!
Just went to their first time homebuyers class, it was very informative and they all are very eager to help you make the home buying process easier for you. Very upfront and honest team of people, everyone on the staff was very knowledgeable and willing to help you understand the home buying process so you can make the best decision for you and your family...I would recommend everyone who is interested in buying a house in the future to get in touch the the team Joe Manausa has and you will not be disappointed...10*s
Our experience with Joe Manausa Rea Estate was second to none. The service they provide is outstanding. From having the most amazing person, Amber, patiently show us numerous houses and then her going above and beyond to close, to the legal team that were so professional in closing, I could not recommend this company enough, in fact I have to my friends that not are only looking for a house but also selling. Five Star!
We could not recommend enough the service we received whilst buying our house through Joe Manausa Real Estate. Especially our person was Amber and she was amazing. We searched through many areas and houses and her patience and professional approach was the best customer service we had ever received and thank you Amber for finding our dream home.
Excellent, professional, and friendly.
My experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate was excellent. Our realtor Eva Armstrong was very helpful in finding our home. We spent countless hours and many trips looking for the right home; however, our realtor was extremely patient and was willing to go the extra mile to cater to our every need in which my wife and I were very grateful. We didn't have to worry so much about doing the research as our realtor was on top of it and always told us if she thinks that a home was or wasn't worth looking into because she knew what we were looking for. After searching through different websites we also discovered that the Manausa website was the most up to date with all information provided and we particularly found the website for homes coming soon provided by Manausa to be useful as well. I would reccomend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone and for them to request Eva Armstrong!!
It was a real pleasure working with the Joe Manausa Real Estate team. Caitlin Saunders really made the entire home buying process fun and effortless. Her energy and attention to detail ensured the transaction went very smoothly. I’d highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a new home in the area.It was a real pleasure working with the Joe Manausa Real Estate team.

We worked with realtor Caitlin Saunders who was great. She worked tirelessly and found us our home really quickly. Great communication throughout and sorted any and all problems we faced.
Buying my first home was made easy thanks to Jordan Scott! I didn’t have a use wishlist but Jordan was able to find the perfect house with everything I wanted and needed plus a little more!
We dealt with Manausa real estate and have nothing but good things to say. We were primarily helped by realtor Caitlin Saunders who we would 100% recommend to anyone needing help finding a house. Caitlin worked tirelessly and found us the house we have since bought and we couldn’t be happier with everything she did.
As a Realtor, with 30 years experience in California, I was very impressed with this company and in particular agent Caitlin Saunders. She was professional, helpful and went above and beyond in the service she provided. I purchased the home without actually seeing it, except on the internet, which took a great deal of trust and confidence on my part. I would highly recommend not only Joe Manausa Real Estate company and especially Caitlin Saunders.
I have been a Realtor in California for over 30 years and decided to use Manausa to purchase a retirement home in Tallahassee. I worked with agent Caitlin Saunders to purchase this home sight unseen! She and her office were most helpful and professional in all aspects of this transaction. We closed escrow in 21 days and I have been very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend this company, and in particular Caitlin Saunders, for all real estate needs Marjorie Fiorenza, Agent
We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Jordan Scott and the Joe Manausa Real Estate Team. Jordan made buying our first home an enjoyable and easy experience. From day 1, he was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. Overall, a great experience and we would highly recommend him.
Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the entire Joe Manausa team. We were first time home buyers and had only lived in Tallahassee for 3 months, so I was extremely nervous about buying. I had a million questions throughout the process and the Joe Manausa team was there and happy to help every step of the way. Caitlin Saunders was our primary agent and she was absolutely incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable , had unbelievable patience with me as I asked to see countless houses, and ensured that we stayed within our budget. Kevin Milligan and Lindsey Begue also gave us a LOT of advice, which not only made me feel more comfortable, but also allowed me to relax and enjoy the home buying process. Every single member of the Joe Manausa team helped us out at some point during our home buying process and they were all fantastic to work with. I truly couldn't be happier with our experience or with our home. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Caitlin Saunders was an amazing agent and the entire team at Joe Manausa Real Estate was fantastic to work with. We were first time home-buyers and very nervous, but Caitlin and the team made sure we stayed in our budget and were happy with our final decision. 12/10 would recommend for anyone looking in the Tallahassee area.
From the moment we started our house hunting joe manausa real estate company was on our team. They were prompt to call when we were browsing to gain a better understanding of our time line. “Girl” Jordan went through the step by step process in our initial consultation and made us feel comfortable. What we really enjoyed was how much of the process they helped with including all the connections and recommendations for everything that had to be done. Jordan especially was Always prompt, always available, always on time. She was pleasant to work with and was never pushy. She was honest and helpful through the entire process and I felt like I had gained a new friend. We even got invited to a vip home owners event at the bowling alley compliments of Joe Manausa Real Estate. Thank you team! Well done!
Marcus and the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate are extremely helpful in all aspects of the transaction. They are truly experts of the Tallahassee Real Estate market. I would highly recommend the JMRE team if you are thinking of buying or selling your home.
Joe Manausa and his squad are Tallahassee Real Estate market expert’s. I will def be contacting them when I’m ready to buy my next home!
I recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate for all your real estate needs. Marcus Edenfield is a pleasure to deal with!
Joe Manausa Real Estate is the only company I trust to take care of my real estate needs in Tallahassee. They are by far the most customer service oriented company in Tallahassee and I am thrilled with their level of professionalism and experience. There is no better team in town! If you are buying or selling a home, call Joe - I promise you will not be disappointed.
Jordan Scott, gave me extensive knowledge about the housing market in Tallahassee. I know with confidence, when I start buying and flipping houses, I'm going to be in good hands with Jordan and the Manausa team. Thanks for everything!!!
The team at Joe Manausa Real Estate is going the extra mile for my son and me. If you're planning to buy a home in Tallahassee I highly recommend this company.
Marcus was great! He really went out of his way to help us find a new place! Love Joe Manausa reality!
Marcus, best realtor ever! He really went the extra mile to make sure our home buying experience was top notch!
My retirement goals include purchasing investment properties. I've done some research and made a few mistakes trying to negotiate through contracts on my own. I was referred to Caitlin Saunders at Joe Manausa Real Estate and was supremely impressed with her knowledge of the local Tallahassee real estate market. She is attentive and proactive in sending me information on properties to enhance my growing land portfolio. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else to research and purchase investment properties. Through working with Caitlin, I was referred to Kimberly Gibbens at Joe Manausa Real Estate who specializes in working with people hoping to sell their homes. Kimberly was able to quickly assess my home and provide a competitive market value. My wife and I have been extremely pleased with her responsiveness and knowledge of the area. We are confident that our home will sell quickly because of the extensive marketing this company provides. We have felt well loved by the entire team at Joe Manausa Real Estate and look forward to working with this company for years to come. Thank you Caitlin, Kimberly and the entire Joe Manausa Real Estate team!
The best decision for home buying and selling. After living in the same house for over 30 years, my husband and I thought it was time for a change. We had ideas of what we wanted in a new home but weren’t sure the best way to go about finding one. Luckily, I had been researching this process and learned a lot from reading the articles posted by Joe Manausa Real Estate. I was impressed with their team concept approach to home buying and selling. Alex Gutterman was our main point of contact in our search for the perfect home. He was patient and responsive to all of our questions. Once we found the home of our dreams, he helped us put in an offer that was accepted right away. Enter Cay Newell, the closings expert at JMRE. She jumped on board and walked me through the entire closing process, making sure that everything was scheduled properly and on time. We also worked with Ashley during this process and we could not have had a better team with us. Not only were they all professional and knowledgeable, they were so much fun to work with! Very friendly and accommodating. People who have now become our friends. I was so worried before we started our home search, but am happy that our first decision, the decision to work with JMRE, was the best decision we could make. Thank you to Alex, Cay, Ashley and all the fine folks at Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Joe Manausa and their team of agents are top notch. They are familiar with the Tallahassee Market and will make our move stress free and seamless. Ashley has worked hard to make sure that our transition will be painless. After meeting many agents, we settled on working with them, and couldnt be more pleased. Cay, Ashley and their team are sheer excellence!
Joe Manausa’s team of experts are always professional and are ready to assist you at the drop of a hat. They thoroughly get to know you in order to help you achieve your end goal quickly and reasonably. Their website is designed for easy use as well in case you just want to browse local listings!
Joe Manausa Real Estate by far exceeds all standards and expectations one would expect. From Andy Elliott who guides a seller through the entire process to James Capps and Maggie who handle ensuring the listing is presented in its best light, and Penny meticulously focused on all i’s getting dotted and t’s crossed...you can’t go wrong choosing them for your Tallahassee realty needs. The marketing is incredible!! And don’t get me started about buying...tip top job by Lindsey Begue getting our dream home in Buck Lake. She tirelessly worked worked on finding a home that suited our needs!
Joe Manausa Real Estate has been an awesome company to work with. They are making the home buying process easier than I ever thought it could be and have always been available to answer all of my questions. I would definitely recommend the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking to buy a home!
I have worked with Lindsey Begue and she is by far the most attentive and relentless realtor I’ve ever worked with. She keeps us in mind and shares listings frequently and has been an amazing resource. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone if they wanted to buy or sell their house!
I have been working with Caitlin Saunders who is thorough and patient! As a first-time homebuyer there IS SO MUCH TO LEARN and I have to ask the same questions over and over and sit on front doorsteps of homes to wrap my head around my possible future in them. Caitlin has been with me through all of this to answer every question (every time) with a smile and the same positive energy. She's not afraid to be "real" and recognize that I am not and will never be one of those people with my own show on HGTV - which I really appreciate. Before starting this process I never realized how important it is to have a personal connection with your realtor, and Caitlin and other realtors I have met at JMRE have all been so genuine and kind. I am so glad I have had someone like Cait and everyone else at JMRE to guide me through the home buying process.
Highest recommendation for JMRE! I’ve become familiar with the company over the past year as well as some of their standout employees through community outreach events, and I look forward to using JMRE when we purchase our next house!
The agents at Joe Manausa real estate are the best in Tallahassee! I recommend them for all of your real estate needs.
Looking forward to my move to Tallahassee and working with this sales team. I have heard from many satisfied customers and am excited to have them help me find my new home!
5 stars to Team Manausa. Not just another "Joe"
If you're looking to buy or sell your home, there is no better company to work with in Tallahassee than Joe Manausa Real Estate. They truly care about each and every one of their clients and it really shows. They are also incredibly veteran friendly, as almost half of their employees are veterans which is something I can definitely get behind! Very highly recommended.
The Joe Manausa team was extremely helpful in the home buying process. Lucille was especially reassuring! They keep everything streamlined and efficient, and this is greatly appreciated!

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in Tallahassee there is no better company than Joe Manausa Real Estate. Taking care of the customer is their number 1 focus and they truly deliver!
Cate Saunders was our realtor. We are first time home buyers and she really got to know us and walked us through the entire process to help us know what to expect. Cate was on top of everything and always made suggestions based on what we like and had been looking at. It only took us 3 months to find our home. When we were unable to be present for inspections, she was there. I can't thank her enough for answering all of our questions at all hours and days of the week, even her days off. We highly recommend Manausa realty and Cate especially. Should we be in the market again we will use Manausa to seel and buy!
Our experience with realtor, Jordan, was awesome! She was very knowledgeable and thorough during the initial consult. I like the fact that they have the entire team to provide service in the event that your selected realtor isn't available. The website is helpful and has several properties to review. Mrs. Lamb addressed all questions and made sure we had a clear understanding of the information she provided.
I would recommend this real estate agency to anyone!! Our realtor, Jordan Scott, is an absolute gem! He put up with my late night calls and was so professional through the whole experience!! We are so excited and blessed to have found the absolute perfect home for our large family!! Thank you Jordan for helping make our dream come true!!
Coming from out of town, Jordan was an excellent resource and new friend while we found the perfect house. He was always so kind and patient with us throughout the journey and we are forever grateful to him and his team! :)
Overall very good experience!!!!
Buying a home brings out the best AND worst in all of us. Kevin Milligan with Manausa Real Estate kept us grounded throughout the process with accurate and up to date information. We were all over the board as to what we were looking for, Kevin listened and found us the perfect home. We LOVE our new house. We love Lake Frances and the Havana area! You ROCK Kevin!!! Thanks again for all your hard work!!!

My wife and I are first time home buyers and every person we have encountered at Joe Manausa Real Estate has been so extremely helpful and friendly. We have spent a lot of time with Cate Saunders during this process and she has been such a lifesaver. She has given us all of the information we need to understand the home buying process, and she has been there to answer all of our many questions, no matter the time of day. We know that Cate and all of the Joe Manausa team members have our best interest in mind and truly care about us finding our dream home. We are so thankful for all of their help and would not ever want to be buying a home without them.
Daniel Osborne
Jordan from the Manausa real estate company was awesome! She was very attentive to our needs. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions. She never hesitated to answer them. She made the home buying process a breeze. I will definitely recommend this company to family and friends. Thank you Jordan! God bless you!
I worked with Kevin, Amber, and, Jordan. They all helped in some way in finding me a place. Jordan did a great job finding me places that fit the criteria I was looking for. I was able to get my place from out of town with no issues whatsoever. I strongly recommend using the Manausa team.
First Class real estate team right here. Kevin is the man but I would ask for Jordan Scott if I were you. Nothing against Kevin (he is a great guy and an even better real estate guru), but Jordan is the knight in shining armor that you need to save you and then put you into a great home! Jordan was professional, timely, and always accurate on information. Jordan's expertise on the city of Tallahassee was also extremely helpful to me in that I was moving in from out of town and had 0 knowledge of the city. This was hands down the best home buying experience that I have ever had and I wouldn't recommend any one else to help you find the home of your dreams!
I have had an AWESOMEexperience dealing with Jordan Scott of Joe Manausa Realty in Tallahassee, Fl. My wife and I had not bought a home in a while so I appreciated Jordan's professionalism and his attention to detail. I will be recommending Jordan and Manausa Realty to everyone I know.
Marcus Edenfield has been a SUPERB agent for us in finding the right house! He is really an awesome communicator - almost immediate responses to my texts and phone calls. Even when he was at a meeting or boarding on a plane, he let me know why he couldn’t talk right away. When he couldn’t show me the house, he sent his colleague Jordan who was very friendly and professional as well. Marcus was very professional, polite, efficient, and yet friendly. He was willing to go the extra mile for us when we needed an overseer of the floor replacement. We were blessed to have worked with him. Thank you, Marcus!
We are in the process of buying our first home and Jordan Scott and the team have been very helpful through every step of the process thus far!
Very nice, & knowledgeable folks
Jordan Lamb was wonderful to work with on our recent purchase. She provided us with relevant information and made herself available to us for questions and showings. We would highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction.
Rosanna Catalano Flury
With guidance and assistance from Alex G., we were able to find and purchase our new home relatively quickly, even with the challenges presented by current market conditions. Alex was responsive and extremely accommodating throughout our home search. He went above and beyond to ensure that our home buying experience was as stress-free as possible. Thank you Alex!
Heather S
I want to give Manausa Real Estates Jordan Scott and Kevin Milligan huge shout out! They made the first time homebuying experience A++++ for my son who had a limited time frame to find a home! They helped me by pre selecting homes in his budget and had everything lined up for when he arrived! We had one day to find him a home! And.....WE DID IT! He is now a proud new homeowner thanks to Manausa Real Estate! I loved that they matched Jordan up with my son who was similar in age as he really knew what my son would want! It was an AMAZING experience and I would highly recommend you use their services if you need to buy or sell a home!
Joe Manausa was so helpful in my first purchase of a home. EVERYONE on staff was so kind and considerate, including my agent Jordan!! I would recommend to anyone buying a home, especially a first time buyer like myself.
First time home buyers. Alex G. at Joe Manausa was AMAZING! Incredibly helpful, very knowledgeable, even outside of what they are expected to know, and very responsive. We had a very short time period that we were working with, and Alex was able to help answer all of our questions and make things fast and easy at times and through communication methods that were convenient for my wife and I. Thank you all again for everything, I couldn't have imagined a better agent to work with. Very appreciative and highly recommended. Well beyond my expectations.
I sincerely enjoyed and appreciated my home buying experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate. Jordan Scott is truly the best! If you are buying or selling your home I honestly don't know why you would go to anyone else in the area!
Joe Manausa was so helpful in my first purchase of a home. EVERYONE on staff was so kind and considerate, including my agent Jordan!! I would recommend to anyone buying a home, especially a first time buyer like myself.
I worked with Kevin, Amber, and, Jordan. The team did a great job finding me a place, as well as closing in very limited time. I purchased from out of the area, and Jordan did a wonderful job addressing any questions or needs I had along the way. I would absolutely recommend working with them for any home purchase.I read reviews others had written and I knew choosing Manausa was the right thing to do. Thank God for Marcus Edenfield, he was truly amazing to work with and very knowledgeable about the housing market. Earl and I was very pleased working with Marcus and also once when Cate showed homes to us when Marcus was unavailable. We are very happy with our new home. When it comes to home buying Manausa is the BEST!

A kind, non stressful, and helpful attitude has been my experience with these people so far. They are very sweet.
The Manausa team handled both the sale of our old home and the purchase of the new one. It was a wonderful experience and we felt we were in great hands the whole time. Very professional, organized & supportive through the whole process. Ashley, Andy, Penny and many others made the entire process seamless and smooth and we will always be grateful. Thank you!
Caitlin Saunders is the best! Very helpful and knowledgeable!!
A fantastic place to work! I’m proud to be part of an organization that focuses on taking care of customers first!
We moved to the area a few months back and called Joe Manausa Real Estate to use as a buyers agent. We meet with Marcus who was great, he went over how the whole process would work with them from start to finish. They had a whole team of people helping us make sure everything was progressing. They where always following up of the lender, with us, making sure everything was good. Marcus would check in to see if we had any questions. He was always available when we did have questions. He always had an answer or would help us get one. With our experience, Marcus went above and beyond what was expected. He has reached out to us, multiple times after closing, to check in and see how everything is going. It was a great experience working with Marcus and the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate!! 5 stars without a doubt!
Excellent experience with Manausa! Made finding a great house in a tough market seem like a breeze. Kevin Milligan handled all the details and we would recommend him to anyone looking to buy!
I live in Miami and needed help finding a home in Tallahassee. I worked with Caitlin (Cate) and Kevin and am so grateful for their professionalism and knowledge. Because I was flying in from out of town and my time was limited to just a few days, they were tireless in showing me a long list (16!) of homes. Cate matched my energy and stayed with me until I found the perfect! I would highly reccommend them. OMG I had the best experience with the whole process of purchasing my first home. Amanda Mendelson has been nothing but patient and understanding. I told her what I like and she sought out what I was looking for. She made the whole process easy even when I backed out! This Real Estate company is by far the best.
Ok, back in the market to purchase a home...a little scary, however, so far great experience. Our agent Jordan Scott is always on top of his game. Most importantly he listens... A++++ rating.
Joe Manausa Real Estate made our first time home buying experience wonderful! Everyone we met and worked with made us feel like we were their only clients and always answered our many questions. Ian Sadler was super helpful the first day we contacted Joe Manausa Real Estate, he related to our situation and set up a time to sit down and talk with Marcus Edenfield. Marcus was great with explaining the process of buying a home and helping us get everything in order, his response time was outstanding. Jordan Scott showed us the first couple of homes we were interested in and we really enjoyed having him around while checking out the houses. We were a tad bummed when the next few houses were going to be shown to us by someone other than Jordan, however then we met Cate (Caitlin Saunders). She was awesome to work with, always available to us, helpful, friend-like, and gave us great feedback/opinions. Thank you to everyone we interacted with, including Ashley Jacquin, who made the paperwork/transaction side very smooth throughout the process. If you are interested in buying a home, we would definitely recommend working with the realtors at Joe Manausa. You won’t be disappointed!
Cate and Jorden were fabulous to work with as we explored Tallahassee for potential relocation. Cate was our initial point of contact and provided an inventory of homes that fulfilled our key requirements. Then we spent two days with Jorden who is engaging and knowledgable. He listened to our feedback and was able to fine tune the listing of homes that we ultimately saw. Coming into Tallahassee, we knew little about the neighborhoods and opportunities. After working with Cate and Jorden, we feel we have an excellent understanding of the city and were able to pin point where our focus will be. Overall, it was an excellent experience working with them!
I am very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone I met at Joe Manausa Real Estate and strongly recommend this company. My agent, Marcus, was wonderful to work with. He was very kind and patient and helped me find the right home for me. My thanks to all I came in contact with. It really was a great experience!
I used Joe Manausa real estate to purchase my new home. I was told they were very good. I have to say that they were excellent. From the agent, Jason Madsen (who was available 24/7), to the entire Tallahassee real estate team nothing was left to chance. They all made sure that the process was smooth and took care of any unforeseen problems with care and professionalism. The game plan they had for me and my family was to ensure that we were happy with our purchase and that the process from the financing through the final inspection was timely and with our well being in mind. We also dealt with The Manausa Law firm which finalized the closing timely and accommodating as we were purchasing from out of town. I highly recommend Joe Manausa and his Tallahassee real estate team for purchasing a home and undoubtedly, if your selling your home.
We moved into our first home this past weekend and we couldn’t be more thankful for Jordan Scott and the team working hard behind the scenes to make this dream a reality. Thanks Jordan!!!
5 star service all around!
We found our home thanks to Joe Manausa Real Estate!! Amber, Alex, and Jordan are a great team!!! Amber was very professional and answered all of our many requests with a smile. She also helped coordinate all aspects of the home buying process. We are so thankful for everything this entire team has done to make this a great experience.
We cannot express our appreciation enough for the Joe Manausa Real Estate team. Everyone says buying a home is one of the best times of your life. What they don’t tell you is the roller coaster you have to ride to get there. New to the area we were clueless where to begin our new home search. After our first meeting, Jordan Lamb and Cate did not waste anytime to find options to meet our needs. We had to be the most difficult people to work with, however Jordan and Cate did not blink an eye. We put them through a roller coaster of homes and offers, but they stood beside us all the way to the end! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Tallahassee area!
We had a great home buying experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate. We can't thank Amber, Alex, and Jordan enough!!! The whole team approach was very helpful given our last minute requests throughout the process. Amber Mendelson is a pro!! She was able to handle our many requests with professionalism and a smile. Thank you all!! And...we found the perfect home!!
Joe Manausa Real Estate is by far the best place in Tallahassee to sell or buy a home. They also take pride in being military veteran owned and operated and regularly hire veterans for their team. JMRE is the only company I would use if I were in the Tallahassee real estate market
Thank you Jordan Lamb for helping us find our dream home..Heidi & Dean
Genuine care for what I want and can afford Garret Jack is a 5 star realtor. He has made my dreams come true
Jordan Scott and Alex Gutterman made the entire process of buying a home much less daunting! They kept us up-to-date throughout the purchase, took care of arranging and scheduling all of the inspections and everything else, and very importantly, worked around our schedule. A great experience all around. Thanks guys!
There's only one place to go! Gotta call Joe! Manausa Real Estate is hands down the best to work with. So awesome all the way around! Cant wait to find my home with these guys! And a special thank you to Jordan and Marcus, incredible service!
Joe Manausa and their team were an incredible help. There are major hesistations being a first time home-buyer, but they eased the burden tremendously.

Ashley and Kevin were a great team! They helped ease the stresses of buying our new house. They were always available to answer questions no matter what time of day it was. On the day of closing, we discovered the house was not empty and filthy. Ashley went out of her way to make sure the sellers were out of the house and arranged a cleaning company to do a deep clean immediately after closing. I hope to not buy another house anytime soon, but if I did, I would definitely use manausa reality again!
We loved working with Cate Saunders with JMRE (a very veteran friendly business). Cate made home buying as stress-free as possible, even when there were bumps in the road. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, honest, and responsive. She outlined our options and answered all of our questions. We would absolutely call her and the team for our needs in the future.
Had a wonderful time and so much help from the WHOLE team. Looked at over 20 houses and kept going until we found the one we love. 10/10 would work with again!
We looked at over 20 houses, worked with multiple team members within the company and they all treated us like royalty. Immense local knowledge of schools and areas with things to do. The team is endlessly patient and willing to go see a property at the drop of a hat. Was a wonderful experience.
I had a great experience working with the Joe Manausa Real Estate team when buying my first home. Before meeting with their team I felt overwhelmed and had so many questions. After meeting with them and forming a game plan I was completely at ease and excited to start the process. I interacted with different agents throughout the process and they all were so knowledgeable and kind. All vendors they recommended, from the home inspector to the lender, all treated me with the same 5 star service I received from the realtors at Joe Manausa Real Estate. Even after closing on my house, I still hear from them occasionally, they really care about their customers. I would recommended Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone who asked.
I chose Joe Manausa after conducting my own research and spending several hours on their website. I was convinced they were the best and I was not wrong! Joe Manausa's team of people are phoneminal! Selling and then buying new real estate is probably one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. It’s harrowing, gut wrenching, stressful, exhausting and when successful it’s elating! With Manausa you don’t get one real estate agent, you literally get a team of people! At any given moment I had at least three people I could call for help! They are the best! They answer questions, encourage and motivate. They advise and counsel. They offer hope and encouragement. A realtor has a tough job! They are not just buying and selling real estate, they are holding the hands of scared people making the biggest financial transaction of their life. Everyone is honest and caring. The individuals I worked with were amazing!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 highly suggest Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in Tallahassee. I decided to get a job transfer from Massachusetts to Tallahassee this past summer. My husband and I have lived in Massachusetts our entire lives so it was a bit intimidating at first. My first phone call was with Kevin Milligan, and he eased my nerves right away. He was so professional, kind, and encouraging. I was then in contact with Cate Saunders, who again, was absolutely wonderful. They were so patient with me, even though I can imagine it's a bit tricky to work with a client who's located almost 1,500 miles away! Kevin and Cate were always in constant contact with me and looking out for my best interests.Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, I had to cancel my move down to Tallahassee. Even though I only worked with the Joe Manausa team for a short while, I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.For now, I'm just admiring the beautiful homes they post to Facebook and let me just say, their marketing team is truly unlike any other. I really hope down the road I get the opportunity to work with these wonderful folks again.

Just a note to offer our thanks to the efficient work of sales team member Cate Saunders. No time was lost once we contacted the Manausa sales team. Through her efforts, we recently found the home of our dreams in Piney Z Plantation. Cate guided us through the process; she was OUR agent, from our initial tour of homes all the way to a quick closing, she was there for us. The organization that underpins the Manausa method is impressive. Highly recommendable.

Jordan reached out to me asking if we could meet to talk about the home buying process. Not knowing anything about buying a home, I gladly accepted a meeting. In the meeting, Jordan walked my husband and I through the home buying process. The power point and graphics were super helpful. She answered my billion questions with patience and knowledge. She gave us great tips and pointers on what to expect and got us in touch with the VA loan lender. I look forward to working with her throughout this process! Thanks!!
Jordan Lamb and the Joe Manausa team did a great job helping me purchase my first house! They made everything super easy and quick. Thank You!Thank You!
Working with Amber and the JMRE made the home-buying process amazing...even with a hiccup or two along the way. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, honest, responsive, and looked out for our interest. After our initial meeting and honing in on what was important to us, we were able to find a home in just two more outings. She and JMRE assisted in making everything from offer to closing super easy. You're welcome to use your own people for mortgage, inspections, etc., but the people referred by JMRE were spot on. We will certainly refer Amber and Joe Manausa to any and everyone for their future needs.
Cate was amazing! She helped us once during the summer when we ended up not buying anything. We came back to her during the winter and bought our first home! She was very informative, honest, responsive, and flexible.
Cate was amazing to work with. She made buying our first home a breeze. We can't thank her enough for all of the help she gave us along the way. Will definately tell everybody to come to her!
We are homeowners again!!! Thanks Jordan Scott, you made the process that much nicer.... always smiling. Keep up the great work, referrals will be coming your way!!
I have started the house buying process and had no idea what it entailed. Jordan Scott has been amazing at going through the entire process, every detail, and being so informative. This business is so professional, friendly, and prompt! I can’t wait to eventually buy my dream Home!
Jordan was my associate and I could not have asked for a better individual (not salesman) to work with. He stayed in touch with me through my graduate program and helped me find the right home for me and my family. I highly recommend this company for your real estate needs♥? #JordanFanMcSwain
We have loved every aspect of working with this company. Lindsey was our realtor and helped find our perfect house. She was patient and worked with us closely through every aspect. She went above any beyond what is expected. I will alsways use this company and recommend them as well.
We are currently working with Jordan Scott on buying our first home! From the first time we met with him we completely felt comfortable and relaxed. There are times when you go into these situations and meet with someone and the whole thing feels stressful and uptight and in a way too professional. Jordan is a younger gentleman which has made us feel even more comfortable, due to that we are a very young couple. He has been so good at answering any questions we have and informing us on any and all information to expect so that we don’t feel like we’re totally lost in the home buying process. Aside, from him being great at any questions we have, he has been so honest with us through every step. I highly recommend Joe Manausa Reality and even more I recommend using Jordan if you are in the market to buy a home.
Jordan scott- Knowledgable, friendly, professional. I am a first time home buyer. Jordan came prepared and offered excellent advice, answered every question, recommended a lender, gave practical examples, explained the process really well. Thank you! Highly recommend. Thank you! Kiran Misal

Lindsey Begue-a professional, knowledgeable, and very kind agent with excellent skills in negotiation.She helped me through the whole process of buying my first home. In this process, she kindly and promptly responded to whatever and whenever I asked her. In particular, she introduced me an excellent lender and explained everything about my situation to the lender, which made me get the mortgage with the excellent condition very quickly. Moreover, her negotiation strategies are so superior that I was able to buy my first house at a reasonable price. In my case, I should move to my first home until the end of February because my rental contract would be going to be expired at that time. The seller of the house that I really really want to buy wanted to close on the mid of May. However, she moved the closing date up to the end of February. It is really amazing. If I have someone who would purchase a house in Tallahassee, I will strongly recommend Lindsey Begue to him or her. She is really fast at her work. Really really fast.
Marcus Edenfield was a fantastic realtor! My husband and I were first time homebuyers, and we decided to take on the task of building, buying a lot in a local subdivision. Marcus helped us each step of the way, providing expert advice and what to expect when building. We closed earlier this month and couldn’t be more satisfied with the service we received from Marcus and the rest of JMRE.
We really appreciate our realtor, Jordan, who was always available to meet us, answer our questions & go the extra mile when it came to helping us find our home. He genuinely cared about our needs and requests and tailored his search accordingly. It was a pleasure working with him, as he was honest, professional & down-to-earth. Thank you for all your efforts, Jordan! ??????????
Cate Saunders was a joy to work with, right from our first meeting. Jordan showed us an assortment of homes that fit our requirements, and Ashley oversaw the paperwork end. The entire team went into overdrive to help us meet our quick closing date. All went smoothly, and we love our new home as well as the Tallahassee area. Cate continues to be responsive with contact info for workmen and other requests. Thanks to you all.
Cate Saunders and her team made home-buying in Tallahassee hassle-free. They guided us knowledgeably through the entire process, recommended great helpful inspectors and worked tirelessly to meet our quick closing date. We love our new home and home-town and definitely recommend Cate and Joe Manausa Realty
Jordan Scott, with the Manausa group, has made our first home buying experience one that my wife and I will never forget! Whether meeting us late at night to show us houses after work, or pulling comps, and giving us knowledgeable advise about the market and the home buying process, Jordan was always there for us. We are now in the process of closing on our beautiful home, and had it not been for Jordan being able to get us into the house just hours after it listed, we may have never had the opportunity to make an offer. Thanks for everything Jordan. It has been an pleasure working with you and the entire Manausa team.
Marcus and the rest of the team were wonderful in helping us find our perfect home. Any questions we had were quickly answered. They made a seemingly overwhelming process simple
Cate Saunders is a wonderful agent. She is professional, well informed, pleasant and timely. She was never too busy to answer questions. She always got back to me promptly. She is definitely an asset to the company.
honest and friendly and very reliable
The best Buyer Team in Tallahassee! I will only ever call Cate Saunders and her team for my real estate needs!
Jordan was extremely helpful in our home buying experience. He worked around our schedule and was very informative with the entire process. I think what impressed us the most was he kept us informed throughout the holidays, which he did not have to do. We are very impressed with the entire Manausa team and highly recommend them!
Working with Cate Saunders and her team is the best decision I made during my home buying process! There is no better real estate team in Tallahassee - I will ONLY trust them with my real estate needs from now on!
Lindsey was an awesome agent ! Highly professional, and always had our best interest at heart! Right from the start Lindsey was devoted to finding us a home that met all our needs. She had a really great understanding of the market and made the buying process simple, easy and understandable. Lindsey always made yourself available, always answered her phone and replied to email swiftly. It was a pleasure to work with Lindsey! Highly recommend!!
Had a great experience with Eva Armstrong. She was infinitely patient with my vague descriptions of what I was looking for and the lack of preparation and research I had done for my home search. With her extensive knowledge of Leon and surrounding counties, she helped me narrow down neighborhoods as well as decide what were my must haves in a house or condo, etc. and identified what turned out to be the ideal house in my price range. It was a genuine pleasure working with her.
From the very beginning, Michelle Manausa treated me with great respect and taught me many things in the quest for my house. She is indeed a great person and I couldn't of wished for a better real estate professional to be my tour guide on my quest for my new home. She never got tired of answering my questions nor searching a multitude of houses. She was always upbeat and positive in our searches and it was always a great adventure exploring the countless houses we did. If you want a true trusted caring professional then please contact Michelle Manausa and her gang and let the excitement continue!!!
Caitlin Saunders was knowledgeable, professional, patient and genuinely interested in helping us find a house that was the one we would want to call home. We are new to the Tallahassee area and her knowledge of the neighborhoods, housing styles, prices, builders and the pros and cons to living in different sections of town was incredibly helpful and always shared professionally and with a smile. Every question was taken as important and answered completely. She pulled in resources where needed and never did we feel that any question wasn't important or pressured to make a decision or buy. Jordan Martin also stepped in for a few of our house showings. Jordan had those same great qualities! From making a offer to closing and the many, many steps in between, Caitlin and other Joe Manausa staff were there to help and guide us every step of the way. The whole process was incredibly organized and smooth! A company can only be as great as it's people and Joe has put together and amazing group of individuals who are incredibly knowledgeable and care about the job they do and the people they serve. Thank you Caitlin, Jordan and Joe!
Michelle helped us for over a year to find the right property for two empty nesters looking to combine homes. Michelle was patient, honest and assisted us with every detail from financing pre-approval, mortgage\broker, inspections, which she was at every one personally.Follow through on details or questions promptly responded to. Eastiest home purchase of my life. Thanks Michelle!
Michelle Manausa was my realtor and as a first time home buyer I cannot speak more highly of how the experience went. She explained everything for me in such detail to make sure I didn’t have any questions at all. She was my champion through the whole process and made me feel super confident about this huge step of buying my first home!
Jordan was wonderful with me and my husband. Took us through and made sure we were informed about each step of the process. Thank you Jordan!
Eva Armstrong has been our agent when we bought and subsequently sold our Tallahassee residence. She was present at every showing, which seems rare among agents these days. Having the listing agent available to answer any questions and having the opportunity to SELL the property is a terrific advantage. Eva devoted a large amount of time to market and sell our property successfully.
This is our first time buying a house. Being new to Tallahassee on top of that made the process even more daunting and made us even more skeptical about whether we could find the right house for us. We're so grateful for the team that painstakingly showed us house after house, cautioned us when we needed it, and respected us throughout. Thanks for helping us find our home!
Michelle Manausa of Joe Manausa Real Estate was so very helpful with the purchase of our house when we recently moved to Tallahassee. She was patient with our changing requirements and provided the guidance we needed to get the house we love. Her recommendations and follow-through were so appreciated. She even handled and attended inspections on our behalf which were done while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Michelle and the Manausa team.
Michelle Manausa was an excellent agent. We were house shopping for over a year and she always. Accommodated our needs. She showed us many houses. We were picky and hard to please with a difficult budget. We weren’t in a rush to purchase and she was very respectful of that. Finally we found our house and we are still loving it!!
As a first time home buyer, I felt like I was in excellent hands with the Buyer Team. From the very first meeting, I felt so much more comfortable with this process. I am excited to work with them to purchase my first home in Tallahassee.
Lindsey Begue is an amazing agent! As first time homebuyers, knowing all the little details in buying a house can be really intimidating BUT throughout the process Lindsey could not have made it easier. She was constantly giving us updates about negotiations and scheduling inspections, all the way to home insurance and home warranty info. She definitely proved to us that she is an EXPERT in her field. Lindsey found us our perfect home the first time we went looking at houses. We couldn’t be happier! You can’t go wrong with Joe Manausa Real Estate!
Jordan Scott helped us buy a home and he was great. He was always available and provided good insight into different aspects of the buying process. We will definitely work with him again and would reccomend him to anyone who needs an experienced agent. joe manausa real estate is the best!!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
Cate Saunders was our realtor and WOW! She was EXCELLENT! Not only did she help us find the right home, but she was timely, incredibly communicative, professional, patient, and not pushy! Cate was organized and driven, and I would absolutely recommend working with her!
Had a great experience with Lindsey and the Joe Manausa Real Estate Team. They are very professional and informative. I highly recommend them. Thank you!!
My wife and I just bought our first home and couldn’t have been happier to use the Joe Manausa team as our realtor. Big thank you to Lindsey, Marcus, Ashley, & Cate! They all were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, & accessible through every step of the process. They helped us find our dream home at a good price. We would definitely recommend using the Joe Manausa team to anybody looking to buy a home!
Just moved into our new home in Canopy. Boxes everywhere but the home is beautiful. Our sincere thanks to Caitlin Saunders for her personal care and professionalism during this long process including the sale of our beautiful home of over 40 years. The staff at Manausa was superb.
I can't wait to buy my next home with Cate and her team! Their process is the best I could ever want as a home buyer and she hasn’t never been anything except a professional in my time with her. I will recommend them to everyone I know!
:Cate and her team are the best in town! I can’t wait to buy my first house with them!
Miriam Thornton
Cate and her team are the best in town! I can’t wait to buy my first house with them!
Couldn’t have made it easier to buy my first home. Jordan Martin is really spectacular and will help you find the home of your dreams. Everyone at Joe Manausa goes above and beyond. Don’t hesitate to call them!
My husband and I just purchased our first home and thanks to Jordan Martin with Joe Manausa it was an enjoyable experience! Jordan was very personable, helpful, informative and honest about the current market! We couldn’t have chosen a better realtor. Even after closing we are still able to reach Jordan if we have any new homeowner questions!
I recently bought a house with the help of the Joe Manausa Real Estate company. I primarily worked with Jordan Scott. My main concern with the process was that I was on an escalated timetable and needed someone with experience to help me through the process. Jordan's knowledge and familiarity with the market, responsiveness with alerting me of new listings and answering my questions, and expertise when it came to navigating the closing process was absolutely invaluable. The entire team made my house hunting experience a low stress one and I would gladly use them again in the future.
We are currently still in the process of purchasing our first home, and up to this point the Manausa team and especially Jordan have been extremely helpful. They are knowledgable and they take pride in what they do and it shows! The process has been very easy because they guide us the entire way and that is a huge deal when dealing with something as stressful as buying a home.
We worked with Marcus to find the perfect home for us! He was awesome and always available. He went above and beyond! We had a lot of wants in our search for the perfect home. Marcus was very patient and happy to say we found the perfect home! Thank you Marcus for putting up with us! Excellent service!!!
Jordan (Lamb) Martin is the absolute BEST. Her follow-ups and attention to details are remarkable. Even when my husband and I decided to move to Texas (before we purchased a home in Tallahassee), Jordan congratulated us on our move and positioned to pair us with a Joe Manausa agent in Texas. Wow wow wow!!!
My wife and I began a new home search after being 30 years mortgage free. Without revealing our ages, suffice it to say we were a bit apprehensive. We chose Joe Manausa Realty based on reviews and were made to feel completely at ease from the beginning of our journey to its end. We were initially met by Caitlin Sanders who never left our side and graciously and professionally met or exceeded every expectation. I highly recommend Joe Manausa Reality and Catlin Sanders in particular. You will not be disappointed. Should you be in need of a lender . . . Mitch Wright is the absolute best and Joe Manausa Realty will hook you up with him.
Cate and JMRE were an absolute dream to work with when looking for our home. Every step of the process was a breeze because of the great communication and Cate’s organization and professionalism. I cannot say enough good things about Cate and JMRE, and I am extremely grateful for them and our new home!
When searching for a real estate agent around Tallahassee Joe Manausa was recommended numerous times. After meeting with Lindsey it was obvious why they are so highly recommended. She was very knowledgeable about the real estate market and offered us useful advice throughout the house buying process. She is someone that will give you a straight answer to any question you might have, and seems to respond almost instantly! In this tough housing market we are glad that we went Lindsey at Joe Manausa because she knows how/when to negotiate and when to walk away from a deal. Due to her help and advice, we were able to find and close on our home!
Jordan Scott and the Joe Manausa team are INCREDIBLE! I could not have been in better hands. I had a lot of anxiety and felt overwhelmed by the house buying process, but Jordan was incredibly patient, understanding, and beyond helpful with how familiar he was with the marketplace! He was always enthusiastic and generous with his time. :)
The entire Manausa team was great. Our agent, Cate Saunders, made our painful transition from storm raged Mexico Beach better than I could have hoped. She’s the best.
The team at Manausa are truly professional. every communication was clear and correct. As various team members were involved, I was given who was going to call/email/text next. Invariably that individual contacted me within minutes. Over 25 showings first weekend on market, multiple offers were then vetted and clearly presented. I imagine that in that perfect world scenario of how a transaction like this should be handled, this team is the template.
We have had the pleasure of working with the Joe Manausa Real Estate team two times to date. Kevin Mulligan, Andy Elliott and Kim Gibbons have given us professional, timely service and guidance through the process of both buying and selling our home. They are attentive to detail and very personable. We could not be happier with the results of selling our house above asking price in 2 days!!! We can not thank them enough for all their due diligence, understanding and help with both our interactions with them. We are very thankful and highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate team! They are WINNERS!
Luckily we found Joe Manausa Real Estate which made the process of buying a house much easier than we had been anticipating. We want to thank Cate Saunders and her team for the time and effort they spent showing us multiple listings every chance we could get. She was always there to answer any questions we had. We both are very happy with our home and couldn't have been more pleased with the service. We thank you for making this experience as easy as it was! I definitely recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone and would not hesitate to use Cate Saunders again.
Maggie, Lindsey, and everyone else at Joe Manausa Real Estate are amazing! Maggie had our house under contract in three days and Lindsey helped us find the perfect new home for our family. They both walked us through every step of the buying and selling process and we couldn't be happier with the results!
We have truly enjoyed working with Lindsey and the Manausa company for our home search. We went in not knowing exactly what we wanted and Lindsey helped us find the perfect home for our family. We are truly grateful and they made the process so easy
Jordan helped us buy our first home. She made it an extremely smooth process and did everything she could to help us out.
We have worked for almost a year and a half with Eva Armstrong. She was the most patient, and understanding real estate agent a buyer can wish for. There were three of us in the family who had to agree on what kind of a house we wanted to buy. Hard for a real estate agent. We kept changing the ideas about the house we wanted to buy. Eva was amazing. She listened patiently, shared her opinion, advised and kept responding to a new situation. We found our perfect house! We could not wish for a better agent!
I worked with Jordan Scott from Joe Manausa Real Estate to buy a house while living out of state. He was incredibly diligent in describing the real estate process, hoas, and the different areas of Tallahassee. He helped me after closing as well with securing home warranty. He was always quick to respond to my questions and offered great advice along the way. I highly recommend him as a real estate agent!
Can't say enough about Jordan Martin (née Lamb). My wife and I worked with her over the course of more than a year and a half as our financial situation kept changing. Jordan was flexible in working with us and our schedule to try to show us anything we wanted to see. Simply put, there's not a single thing I would have changed about our experience working with Jordan. We have quite literally become friends through this process.
We were fortunate to have Cate Saunders to help us find a house at Joe Manausa Real Estate. She was absolutely amazing. You might ask how: she went above and beyond, answering every text and calls from both myself and my husband. She was extremely knowledgeable on the houses she showed us and showed us all houses we were interested in. She was prepared to answer any question and if she didn't know the answer she always got back to us. She is a go-getter and will do the same for you. She really became part of our family. If you are looking for a realtor, I promise you that Cate will help you find the house you are looking for. Thanks Cate!
I worked with Jordan Scott from Joe Manausa Real Estate. I was purchasing a home while out of state, so I leaned on him a lot for his knowledge on Tallahassee. He answered all my questions thoroughly and made sure I didn't settle for less that what I wanted. Also, he helped me with ordering home warranty after closing. I highly recommend him as a realtor!
Lindsey and her team were the best realtors we dealt with while buying our house. We had gone through two others that continued to show us houses that we were not interested in. That's when Lindsey and the Manausa team stepped in and actually listened to what we were looking for and found it for us!
We sold one home and bought another one thru Joe Manausa Real Estate in the summer of 2017, and had a wonderful experience! From start to finish they made the processes easy, guided us thru all hurdles, and were in constant communication. A huge shout out to Lindsey and Andy for phenomenal service!!I would highly, highly recommend Joe Manausa Realty to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home. We've had an extremely positive experience both in selling 2 homes and buying another home, all within about 4 months, with the expert professional help of Lindsey Begue, Andy Elliott, and Kimberly Gibbens. They have been right there with us every step of the way; always available if we had any questions or concerns; and always ready to proactively solve any problems. I was impressed with their fund of knowledge about the real estate market (that includes Joe Manausa Realty as a whole), and appreciate their capacity to share their knowledge. They are such a great team! All in all, we are VERY pleased, and VERY happy with our experience with this great group of real estate agents!
Lindsey Begue and the team at Joe's office are the best! They always go above and beyond to help their customers find their dream home.
Jordan Martin, Cate Saunders and team at Joe Manausa went far beyond the scope of “realtors”. From the very beginning of the process we felt Jordan was 100% invested in helping us find our ideal home. Jordan found vendors for us, sent reminder texts for check off items, and worked hand In hand with our Lender. The list could most definitely go on. We will surely work exclusively with Joe Manausa realty in the future.
Lindsey Begue had a contract on my old house and an acceptance of my offer on a new house within 45 minutes of each other and a simultaneous closing date. All while I was long distance. Doesn't get much better than that!
With the help of Marcus and Cate we were able to transition back to Tallahassee seamlessly. They helped us find the perfect place for our family. Great personal service and no question left unanswered.
We worked with Jordan Scott and he was great! My husband and I were first-time home buyers and new to the state of Florida, so we had a hard time deciding what we wanted and where we wanted to buy. Jordan was very patient with us and very knowledgeable of the surrounding neighborhoods. He was also readily available to answer any questions we had. We couldn't be happier with our home purchase. We have already recommended Jordan to friends. We were working with a specific time frame in order to get our family back to Tallahassee. Marcus and Cate were a huge help, working around our schedule and helping us find the perfect place. We couldn’t be happier with the service and overall experience.
We purchased our home in the Ox Bottom area with the assistance of the buyer team at Joe Manausa Real Estate and sold our home in Northeast Tallahassee with the listing team. Both transactions could not have gone more smoothly. Cate, Andy, Ron, Kim, and with the help of their transaction coordinators - the realtors all worked together to make this experience easy and stress-free. I highly recommend! They are truly experts in their field! We are very happy with our decision to work with Joe's realty team.
We chose Joe Manausa Real Estate because their employees are salaried and we hoped that would make for a better relationship than the pushy realtor stereotype. Thankfully, we made the right decision. Jordan Martin did an amazing job helping us find our first home! We took awhile searching for the best fit for us, but Jordan was ever-patient and always gave us honest feedback to make sure we didn't make any mistakes on the biggest purchase of our lives. We couldn't have done it without her wealth of knowledge, savvy insight into the home buying process, and silly realtor memes! Thanks Jordan!
I bought my first house a little over a year ago with JMRE and worked primarily with Marcus Edenfield. Being a first time house buyer, I didn't know what to ask or what the process would be like. My advice to other first time buyers is to not be afraid to ask about anything. Marcus was patient, helpful, and reassuring.
Absolutely satisfied with my first visit. Excited to be working with Kevin in my first time home buying journey.
Great experience here. I talk to Chris, and even though I was only looking to rent and not buy he was very helpful and talk to me about the best action to take when renting around town and what to stay away from. Thank you so much Chris, hope to contact you later when I'm ready to buy.
Great experience working with Cate Saunders and Jordan Martin! Their teamwork led me to a 3-week closing on my first home! 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!
Cate really, truly was amazing through this whole process. As a first time home buyer, I had A LOT of questions. She was so patient through everything and happy to help me understand the different parts of the process.
Made house hunting fun and listened to what we wanted in a home!
My husband and I just purchased a beautiful home with assistance from Lindsey and Kevin at JMRE. They are kind, patient, professionals that were attentive to our needs. They listened carefully to the things we desired to have in a new home. Lindsey helped us find a house within our price point that exceeded our expectations. She was very helpful in navigating all the fine details that made for a pleasant buying experience. We highly recommend JMRE
Cate was great and so helpful. 10/10. Would use again. She answered all (and I mean ALL) of my questions and made the whole process smooth.
Joe Manausa Real Estate and their real estate agent Jordan Scott were a godsend! We were exceedingly fortunate to have Jordan and Joe Manausa Real Estate Represent us as we searched for a house. Jordan was professional, proactive, and friendly. My wife and I were nervous about purchasing a house and greatly appreciated Jordan’s patience and transparency. Jorden spent the first meeting getting to know us, what we were looking, and familiarizing us with the market. The customer service we received from Joe Manausa Real Estate was the best we have ever experienced. If you need a realtor who is really looking out for you and your interests, go to Joe Manausa Real Estate and ask for Jordan!
What led me to Joe Manausa Real Estate: Joe's brilliant approach to marketing his company by publishing some of the most informative & comprehensive charts, graphs, & newsletters I've ever read. Valuable resources for anyone wanting to learn in depth on how the Tally market is performing or simply educate themselves on the various neighborhoods. Great way to keep a finger on the pulse of the city. What made me purchase a home sight unseen from 970 miles away: Kevin Milligan. Kevin worked with me knowing full well that I wasn't planning on buying/relocating for a few years. Most realtors wouldn't invest time in a client that isn't buying now. Kevin & I clicked instantly & he provided valuable insight into the city. Kevin is incredibly patient, especially since I tend to have a lot of questions & am a very hands on person. Kevin made me feel comfortable enough to purchase a home without ever laying eyes on it in person when the perfect house unexpectedly became available. How many people can say that? In my opinion, that is the ultimate trust fall. From day one, Kevin assured me that he would be there every step of the way & wouldn't disappear once the transaction was complete. Kevin also interjected some well timed humor during a very stressful situation. Why I highly recommend them: The team approach and one stop shopping when buying or selling. They have aligned themselves with some of the best vendors/contractors that provide superior customer service.

Michelle Manausa was so helpful in helping me sell my home and work out the purchase of my next fantastic home.
Joe Manausa real estate was professional, efficient, and transparent with our buying experience!
Jason Madsen is our realtor. He is the bomb! Things got dicey in the mortgage arena close to closing but Jason worked 24/7 and successfully got us to closing on time! Jason is high energy with a very positive approach and he gets things done. I highly recommend Jason for your realty needs.
I had always heard amazing things about Joe Manausa Real Estate, and I’m happy to say that Michelle Manausa, proved every word to be true. Michelle is so knowledgeable in her field, and more importantly, so happy to share that knowledge. Any question I had or advice I needed, was always met with an informed, thorough, and helpful answer. Throughout the process of buying my home, Michelle introduced me to several people who were instrumental in making my journey smoother. I was able to trust whole heartedly the recommendations that she gave me because I knew she had my best interest at heart, and I am so grateful that she was there to help me every step of the way. I would without a doubt use her and recommend her over and over again with no hesitation. Buying my home was the biggest purchase I’ve ever made, and with Michelle’s help, it became one of the easiest purchases at that. Use Michelle. The house you want, will become the home you treasure.
It's my great pleasure as a professional in Tallahassee, to write a review for our agent, Michelle Manausa and Joe Manuasa Real Estate! Michelle provided us with the absolute highest quality of professional service, communication and tireless dedication to us during every part of the process of buying our home in Tallahassee. She is intentional about getting to know you personally, your property needs and preferences so that she can serve you best! Michelle is so detailed oriented, organized and is a champion communicator! I honestly would give Michelle and Joe Manausa Real Estate 10 STARS if I could! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
The staff at Joe Manausa Real Estate are fantastic. While I mostly communicated with agent Jordon Scott (who worked way too many hours in a day!), everyone involved with setting up appointments, inspections, etc. made sure I had their email and phone number(s) and were always ready to answer any questions.
I had a wonderful experience buying my first home with Joe Manausa Real Estate! Cate Saunders is a knowledgeable and intuitive agent who helped us navigate the process with incredible generosity. She was always there for us when we needed her. Our closing coordinator, Sydney Chick, also helped us a great deal by answering our many questions about the to-do list, homeowners insurance, and complicated home warranties! We love our new home and are so thankful we had the BEST people fighting for us. I would absolutely work with them again in the future!
Marcus and the team at Joe Manausa were amazing. They made my first home buying experience a breeze and no matter how many times I called with an abundance of questions they were always more then willing to help! Will be using them for any other home buying and will highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks JMRE
I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate! We worked with Michelle Manausa and she was wonderful. Our situation was complicated as we were moving to Tallahassee from out of state and Michelle kept us informed and worked above and beyond to get us into a home we would love. We truly are so grateful for everything Michelle did for us.
Sydney and Kevin were amazing. Two of the most helpful, understanding and hard workers I have even had the pleasure of working with.

We were looking for a safe, affordable townhome for our adult children to live in while attending FSU. We contacted Stacie Boone of Joe Manausa Real Estate. She did a great job showing us the market and helping us confidently key in on our target community. She was always flexible with our schedule for seeing properties. Stacie helped us find a good deal, and helped us avoid a bad one! She provided us several contacts for completing projects we had for deck work, electrical, and plumbing that were affordable and did quality work. We highly recommend Stacie Boone as a personable, knowledgeable, and professional realtor.
I highly recommend Cate Saunders at Manausa Real Estate! She is super smart, extremely knowledgeable, and always had our best interest at heart! I can't even count how many times Cate went above and beyond to make sure the whole buying process went smoothly. We will definitely use her again! Choose Cate if you want the best experience buying a house ;)
We used Joe Manausa Real Estate and Cate Saunders when looking for a home in Tallahassee. The entire team was amazing, particularly Cate Saunders. Cate was patient, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to work with during our home search. She showed us so many homes and answered our many, many questions. She was a true professional and we recommend her highly to anyone wanting a knowledgeable and professional real estate professional by their side.
I had the pleasure of working with Jordan when I was looking for a house. I am not from Tallahassee, so his knowledge of the city was very helpful. He was always available to go look at places and I never felt pressured into buying. I would highly recommend Jordan if you want someone that is knowledgeable about real estate and is willing to do whatever it takes to find you your perfect house.

Manausa Real Estate is the real deal in terms of customer service. No nonsense, just straight-up positive results. The high quality professionalism and superb focus on customer satisfaction made for a genuine collaboration based on confidence. Thanks to Manausa Real Estate, and the extremely hard working and talented and very human touch of Mr. Kevin Milligan, my family found a house that has quickly become our home. If we ever need to talk think about moving to a new home, Manausa Real Estate will be the experts that we will call upon to lead the way.
Yesterday, we met with Kevin Milligan to begin our exploration of the Tallahassee housing market, and our desire to buy a second home here. We were very impressed with both Kevin and your company. We like the concept of a realtor who puts the customer first, by having its employees on salaries instead of commissions, and by focusing on a team effort, so your realtors aren't competing against one another. Kevin was not only personable, he took a lot of time with us to share his knowledge of Tallahassee's real estate market and neighborhoods. He gave us some great information that we'll use to do more exploring. Given this stellar first impression, we'll be happy to work with Kevin and your other team members when we get closer to buying in Tally.
Very professional with exceptional service and attention to detail. We bought our home from out of state and Cate S., our agent was amazing to work with. Not once did we feel that she did not have our best interests in mind. Never felt pressured into anything we didn't want. Outstanding experience.
The process was seamless and I could not be more thankful for the help and guidance! As a first time home buyer, Lindsey made every step easy and smooth! Thankful to be in our dream home with the help of Joe Manausa Real Estate and Lindsey!

The manausa team was awesome and really made our first home buying experience as painless as possible. We worked mainly with Chris Poyner and within five minutes of meeting him you can tell he’s good people. He really helped us out a lot and i felt comfortable reaching out to him whenever about whatever throughout the whole process.
The entire team at Joe Manausa are truly the best. If you are new to the home buying process, do not waste your time by going anywhere else. Kevin is a straight shooter but also incredibly personable, not to mention will work very hard for you and ensure you have no anxiety throughout the entire process - before, during and after! Sydney is a super star as well, and will be there for you every step of the way as well. I could not recommend Kevin and also Sydney enough! You will not be disappointed.

I used Joe Manause to buy and sell my home while I lived in Tallahassee. The agent team took incredible care of my family during both the buy and sell process. It took A LOT of the stress of home selling out of the picture knowing I was dealing with a TEAM of EXPERTS!
As a first time home buyer I have been very pleased with the service I've received from Kevin, Sydney, and the rest of the team that has helped me through my home buying experience. Kevin is very knowledgeable and is easy to approach. He did not hesitate to answer any of my late night questions. Kevin even went out of his way to meet me during my closing to offer me my first home owner gift :) I also want to thank Sydney. She has been a great help. Sydney is a great asset to the team she was pleasant to work with and maintained a very high level of professionalism.
I don't even know where to begin about how awesome this team is! Everyone that I dealt with from Joe Manausa Realty - Katelyn Smith, Kevin Milligan, Lindsay, Sydney Chick and from Bay Capital Mortgage - Mitch Wright and Carylon Klein were exceptional! Home buying can be daunting, but I was put at ease from the very start after my initial conversation with Katelyn. Communication from everyone along the way was terrific. Within three months, Kevin helped me find my new home. Without hesitation, this team of individuals (and I do mean team) is phenomenal and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. Thank you to all!
I first reached out to Manausa via the website and was soon contacted by a friendly and enthusiastic Zack. He was very welcoming and quickly put my husband and I in contact with Kevin Milligan who was fantastic to work with. In addition to his knowledge of real estate trends in Tallahassee and surrounding areas, Kevin is a down to earth guy quick to reassure a sometimes overwhelmed buyer that all was okay. He was determined to not just sell us a house, but to find the home that fit our style and needs, and he did! Thanks Kevin! Also a big thank you to Sydney Chick who made closing a breeze by providing step-by-step instructions and all the contact info and documents we needed. Can't believe how easy you made it all come together, thanks! We really appreciate the Manausa team and look forward to working with you again!
My boyfriend and I recently just bought a house with the help of Jordan and Caitlin's team. We couldn't have asked for better people to help us! They made us feel so comfortable and at ease knowing it was our first time buying a home. There was no rush or pushy-ness like some realtors which was amazing knowing we have time to think about things before making a big purchase. I highly not just recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate, but highly recommend Jordan and Caitlin!
Updated Review: Back in February, we met with Kevin Milligan to begin our exploration of the Tallahassee housing market, and our desire to buy a second home here. We were very impressed with both Kevin and your company. We like the concept of a realtor who puts the customer first, by having its employees on salaries instead of commissions, and by focusing on a team effort, so your realtors aren't competing against one another.

He gave us some great information that we'll use to do more exploring. Given this stellar first impression, we'll be happy to work with Kevin and your other team members when we get closer to buying in Tally. In March, we bought our house in Tallahassee with the help of Manausa. Kevin and Sydney were a wonderful help throughout the process. From the very start of our search when we were just looking to the final steps, they have been wonderful. We couldn't ask for a better set of helpers. If we had the money, we would buy another house just to work with them.
Joe Manausa Real Estate helped us find and purchase our dream home for the right price. Every single person we worked with was knowledgeable, super responsive and friendly. The processs was smooth and efficient from start to finish. Special thanks to Marcus, Jordan and Sydney!
My experience was Chris Poyner was nothing but exceptional. He went above and beyond for making my whole home buying process as simple and pain free as possible. From the first meeting I was impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge. After seeing dozens of homes, we finally found the perfect home for my family. Sydney, the coordinator, helped me to always know what the next steps were for me and made this whole transaction a breeze. I would recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone interested in buying a home.
Caitlin Saunders is awesome! She worked with us for over 3 months to finally get us in our new home. She was available around the clock to assist us. She made us feel like we were not just customers, but friends during the process. She knew our children, our likes and dislikes, and wanted us to be completely satisfied with our purchase. Sydney Chick was also extremely helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend the Joe Manausa Real Estate team when looking for your new home.
Great company. Does everything they can to help make the buying process go smoothly. Kevin and Sydney were absolutely great to work with.
We recently used Joe Manausa Real Estate to both sell and buy a new home, and both were really great experiences. Cate Saunders, our selling agent made the process simple and headache free. She took the time to learn what we were looking for and tailored an approach that helped us sell our house above what we were asking, in less than 3 days. She was constantly in contact with us and stuck to her word when deadlines and time frames were established. Chris Poyner assisted us with purchasing a home that was already under construction, and he was invaluable when it come to making contract modifications and helping us get the builder on the same page. Chris was extremely professional and provided the level of follow-up that helps you sleep a little easier when you are going through a difficult process like this. Cate and Chris, along with the rest of the Manausa team, made these experiences as easy as they could be, and we would definitely look to Joe Manausa for our future real estate needs.
We couldn’t have been any luckier to work with Kevin Milligan when purchasing our first home. Kevin and Sydney Chick communicated with us throughout the whole process (no matter what time or day it was!). We felt like they really had our best interests in mind. The house that Kevin recommended for us is the one we chose & now love. If we had to buy 10 more houses, we would go through Kevin at Joe Manausa real estate every time. You guys are wonderful & we appreciate you making this so easy!
Oh boy .. where do I begin!!?? Chris Poyner was my agent at the JMRE office. He is an Angel. Very professional and educated. He walked me through the process step by step this is my first time buying a home and completely made the process smooth, seamless and extremely educational!! 100% recommended. He is honest, ethical and holds integrity over everything. I was extremely blessed to have such an amazing realtor to help me in the biggest milestone of my life. Will for everyone be grateful and will most definitely continue to do business with them. Thank you, Yuli.
Our experience with Joe Manausa Real Estate was a very pleasant experience. Our Realtor Kevin Milligan was such a superstar in helping us through the process and guiding us with what to expect and how to handle it, our questions and concerns were quickly and professionally address and response time was extremely quick. I couldn't have ask for a smoother process or a better realtor. He was hands from start to finish and is still reachable even after we have closed. My husband and I are now the proud owners a beautiful home here in Tallahassee FL and I am sure it won't be our only house purchase.
I want to give a huge shout out to Jordan, Mitch, amber, and Sidney. You guys are rock stars no more like mirical works. You guys took the impossible and made it possible. These guys are very well organized and stay on top of everything that's going on. Very professional and extremely responsive, not matter what odd questions I would have at the oddest hours someone was always available to help me.the buyers team is amazing. I highly recommend these guys

My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Joe Manausa Real Estate to purchase our first home. Cate was an absolute joy to work with and was always eager to answer our first-time home buyer questions! She was so communicative about market trends and home availability and ensured that we were looking at homes that fit our goals and budget. Sydney kept us organized and on track for closing, which was so appreciated! Our closing was less than orthodox due to COVID--19, but Cate made sure that it still felt like a celebration. Thank you Cate, Sydney, and thank you Joe Manausa Real Estate!
Michelle Manausa at Joe Manausa Real Estate was an absolute pleasure to work with. She exceeded every possible expectation and went above and beyond to help us. She answered texts and emails immediately and was readily accessible. We were looking for a home to buy in the counties around Tallahassee, while living in central Florida 4 hours away. She made the long-distance process smooth and seamless. When we were ready to drive up to see houses during a weekend, she secured well-organized showings so we could have an efficient experience. Her knowledge and expertise was apparent as we looked at pros and cons for each property. When we found the right fit, she worked closely with us in the negotiations. Her advice was spot on! And then she attended the inspection and was willing to be our eyes and ears since we could not drive up for it. She took measurements and sent pictures during the inspection! We recommend her highly and will certainly choose her again for any future real estate needs!
Joe Manausa Real Estate was a great company to work with while searching for a house! Chris Poyner was excellent from the start, made the expectations very clear, gave lots of good advice, and made sure I was taken care of. Chris and Kevin Milligan helped me get the perfect house for me, and Sydney Chick was awesome at making sure the closing process was as smooth as possible. I really appreciate everything they did, and would highly recommend! This was a 5-star experience!
When you are looking to buy a forever home or sell a house...Joe Manausa Real Estate is who you need to contact. I just recently purchased my forever home and without the help of Joe’s team I could not have achieved this dream. My first experience with Kevin was awesome. He spent time with me reviewing the home buying process through an excellent presentation and took time to listen to me about what I wanted and answered all of my questions. Additionally, Kevin was just a phone call or text away no matter what I needed. While on the hunt for my home, I also had the opportunity to work with Jordan, Chris, and Tim. All of them made me feel like more than a customer. They treated me as if I was family. Kevin was also an excellent resource when it came to the process of getting a home loan as he referred me to Loan Depot! Ron Byrom and the team at Loan Depot made the process of getting a home loan very easy and seamless. Last but not least, Sydney was amazing in making sure all of the pieces were in place and set for closing. When I first started this journey, I have to admit it was scary but with Joe’s team, my fears quickly subsided due to their collective knowledge and teamwork. Giving Joe Manausa Real Estate a 5-Star rating is more than well-deserved. I am truly grateful for their dedication to providing the best customer experience in buying my forever home!!!
My husband and I moved from out of state and decided to search for and buy our first home through Joe Manausa. We couldn't have had a better experience! Our agent, Kevin Milligan, was highly responsive and helped us find a great home in our price range. He was very attentive during our house hunting trip and went above and beyond, showing us a range of homes, driving us around Tallahassee, not to mention he gave us so much of his time! If any last minute homes appeared on the market, Kevin went out of his way to show it to us while we were in town, making sure we saw some great options. Kevin was authentic and genuine, and we had a GREAT experience working with him. He generously walked us through the home buying process. I am also impressed with how smoothly the closing process went: everyone at the agency responded promptly to any questions we had, and they made sure to maintain great communication with us as we purchased the home while out of state. I could tell they wanted us to be happy with our home, and they did an amazing job arranging inspections and paperwork. I will definitely work with them in the future for our housing needs. GREAT and smooth experience.
We have bought and sold a home with JMRE and have had great experience both times. They really look out for their clients and make the experience seamless.
Great market knowledge and super customer service.

As a first-time homebuyer I was extremely nervous about purchasing a home. I reached out to Joe Manausa Real Estate and got the best agent I could have had in Chris Poyner. He was completely professional and patient with us. He took his time explaining the entire process of homebuying and was there for us every step of the way. I really enjoyed working with Chris he was very proficient, very helpful and handled my requests and concerns with excellence. If I should have to use Joe Manausa Real Estate again, I hope to have someone as beneficial as Chris.
Tim at Joe Manausa helped me find the best home of my dreams. I would reccomend this guy for any purchase. He made it easy and simple to buy the home. He even got all the inspections we needed to purchase the home. I would reccomend Tim anyday!
I highly recommend Eva Armstrong, who is professional, organized and an excellent communicator. Eva used phone calls, text messages, and emails, freely as needed. Eva's final walk through with me was clear on what needed attention for my home sale. My home was under contract within a few weeks, and sold within a month. Contract modifications were explained and finalized in a few days. The closing went smoothly, and details were communicated freely. Lastly, I was able to move into a mother-in-law suite with my daughter and son-in-law.
We can't say enough good things about Joe Manausa Real Estate! As a first time home buyer, we were unsure of what to expect. From the very beginning, Kevin Milligan took his time to explain the home buying process, from loans to what to watch for on the market. Chris Poyner and Halima Ike made the transaction smoother than we could ever imagine. We feel very fortunate to have been in such good hands throughout the entire process. I would recommend Joe Manausa to anyone looking to buy a home in the Tallahassee market!
My husband and I recently purchased a home from out of state. Our rep is Chris Poyner and he is awesome. From beginning to end, he was responsive and made everything easy for us. He knew the market and what we were looking for and found us a great home! Kevin also showed us some homes and was very knowledgeable and accomodating. Many thanks to the Joe Manausa team!
Joe Manausa & Kevin Milligan are truly experts in real estate, and I cannot speak highly enough about my experience. Being a first time home buyer, I tried doing my own research on the internet and doing the process myself, which ended up in a somewhat costly failure. My lease was running out and I needed somewhere to live quick and I didn't wantto rent for another year. Joe sat down with me and talked to me about my situation and my stress about buying a home. He talked to me about my goals, and WHY I wanted to own a home in Tallahassee and then talked about the financial aspects and what would be my best options. He assigned Kevin Milligan to help me find the perfect home and to guide me through the process. Kevin kept me calm even though there were tons of bumps in the road for me. We were counter offered on my first home choice and had to be fast and competitive. We ended up finding a WAY better home and winning the bid over 6 other offers on day 1. Kevin guided us through a USDA loan and made everything super clear and easy to understand. He even took my frantic stressed calls at 9pm... and texts on the weekends. He certainly knew what he was doing and everything he said to ease my concerns came true. We ended up closing on time and everything went smoothly, we got a great house at a great rate, and couldn't be happier. I cannot explain how much better the service was compared to my previous experiencewith a home builder, and direct with the usda and a certain local real estate company. I would refer anyone to Joe Manausa, even if just for the great advice on getting financially ready to own a home. I plan to use this company when I'm ready to upgrade to an even bigger home in the future. Once again, this was a dream come true and it wouldn't have been possible without Joe and Kevin's guidance.

We could simply state that working with Joe Manausa Real Estate was wonderful, stress-free and worthwhile. All of this is true, but it does little to truly illuminate the immeasurable and innumerable positive experiences we had working with this organization. From the moment you walk in the door, you sense that you are their most cherished client, and the feeling is genuine. Manausa’s home buying and selling strategy is brilliant. We worked with Cate and Kevin. Their combined knowledge is invaluable. Period. But their value went far beyond their years of real estate experience. Buying or selling a home, whether your 1st time or your 5th time, is harrowing, taxing and often unnerving. It is also a very intimate experience. We immediately developed a rapport with Kevin and Cate which made them feel less like anonymous realtors and more like trusted friends who unmistakably had our best interests in mind. It was continually obvious that they had an unrelenting dedication, not just to accomplishing the buying and selling of a home, but to our comfort, understanding and peace with the process. It was an experience unlike any other and I know, undoubtably, it happens across the board at Manausa.
Kevin has been amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful through an exciting but stressful journey of buying a house. He really listens to what you want and helps you find it!
Ondrea did a great job showing us homes that really fit our requirements. She was also careful not to allow us to get separated while driving so we avoided getting lost. Gerard
I would like to start off by saying both, the Joe Manausa Real Estate and Bay Capital teams were amazing!! My wife and I are first time buyers and didn’t know much about the process, but Chris Poyner made it very easy and comprehensive. We came to Chris once before but weren’t ready yet, but even then he continued walking us through the process. A year later we came back to Chris and he made our dream of owning a home come true! My favorite part about Chris is that he made it very clear that his main priority is that we get a home that we love. From start to finish Chris was very attentive and understanding of our preferences. At one point, my wife and I were going to put in an offer with a home, Chris knew we weren’t 100% sold on. The home had been on the market for a long time, so he convinced us to take a couple days and think it over. The very next day, Chris sent us an email about a home that was soon to be on the market, and now we’re moving in!! I highly recommend Chris and the Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone interested in buying a home!

My wife and I had a great experience buying our first home. We had a meeting with Joe Manausa Real Estate 4 years ago and decided we would definitely go to them when we were ready. Chris Poyner was outstanding! He surpassed our expectations with the whole process! I highly recommend Chris Poyner at Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone looking to buy a home!
Cate Saunders was our realtor. We are first time home buyers and she really got to know us and walked us through the entire process to help us know what to expect. Cate was on top of everything and always made suggestions based on what we like and had been looking at. It only took us 3 months to find our home. When we were unable to be present for inspections, she was there. I can't thank her enough for answering all of our questions at all hours and days of the week, even her days off. We highly recommend Manausa realty and Cate especially. Should we be in the market again we will use Manausa to sell and buy!
Chris Poyner and the entire Joe Manausa team were wonderful to work with during the sell and purchase of our home. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in selling or buying. They are very professional and efficient!
I can't even give a proper review on here since 5 stars is not really enough. They have made everything in this process a breeze....Des is probably the most helpful person I could imagine for buying a home (this was my first time), and I literally always felt at ease with her helping me out throughout the process. She was very communicative, very hands-on, and answered all the questions we had every step of the way. If you are moving to Tally, or buying your first home there, or just simply buying another house - don't even bother going through anybody else other than the team at Manausa.
Joe Manausa was the best choice we made! We used them to purchase our house and had a great experience. When it was time to sell and leave Tallahassee we of course called them back. Cate Saunders is the best agent around. We were confused and didn’t know what to list our house for and how to go about it. After chatting with Cate we had no more worries or questions. She explained the different options we had and listened to our needs/timeline and helped us figure out the best option for us. Well, we were very shocked at how quickly our house sold (1 day on the market) and we never expected to make such an amazing profit! The Joe Manausa team knows what they are doing! You would be crazy to go with anyone else. We had some friends selling their house at almost the same time as us and they were using another company. They were confused and didn’t know what they should do and asked us lots of questions since we going through it a few steps ahead of them. I felt bad that they didn’t have a realtor who took the worry and questions out of it. If you want a confident and knowledgeable realtor who is looking out for you, call Joe Manausa. You won’t regret it!
Cate and her team were amazing! She found us our dream home and made the entire process completely stress-free and seamless from start to finish. You cannot go wrong with Cate Saunders and the Joe Manausa Real Estate team, they are the best in Tallahassee! I would give them 15 stars if I could.
Joe Manausa Realty is truest a one stop shop! We purchased our home in Tallahassee using Joe, and when we moved we also used Joe to sell the home. Both experiences were phenomenal. We must have looked at about 30 homes, until we found the gem. The communication in the process of buying was outstanding. When it came to sell the home, I called Joe Manausa right away and they provided us with insight on what to do to get the best offer. We were living in another city, and the selling process was seamless. I would recommend Joe Manausa to anyone looking for a home or selling their home.
We are relocating to Tallahassee from out-of-town, and really appreciate all the help from our realtor, Marcus Edenfield! He was so knowledgeable about Tallahassee, in general, as well as the specific neighborhoods and school districts, and very accommodating to our schedules as we traveled into town to look at houses. He helped us find a house that will be a great fit for our family!
Ask for Ondrea Maldonado! My family is so in awe of her capability, drive and kindness to quickly find my perfect home. In this crazy sellers’ market, there was one day to both view and make an offer. First time buyer - I viewed at 2p and was a buyer by evening time among eight. other. offers. Ondrea went above and beyond to both draft the perfect (and not highest!) offer and communicate with the listing agent to pitch exactly why my offer should be the best the seller would receive. I could not be happier or more grateful. I’m sure I’m not the high $$$ client of Ondrea’s at the time, yet she has treated me throughout as if I’m her only “VIP”. I have no idea how or why Joe Manausa RE gifted me with the seemingly random selection of Ondrea as my realtor, but it’s the best blessing for my relocation and my family. Look no further. Guessing it will be tough to secure this brilliant ladyboss realtor in the near future!!
We had the great pleasure of working with Kevin several years ago to purchase our first home, and it was a no-brainer to give them a call again this time, and I was not disappointed! The entire team at Joe Manausa is 10000% FANTASTIC. On the selling side, Cate Saunders did an amazing job helping us list our previous home and guided us expertly through the sale of our home, making is seem almost easy! Cate helped us get more than we expected for our home and made sure to explain everything we needed and was available for questions at any time. Our expectations were blown out of the water by the service and professionalism of Ondrea Maldonado! From the start, Ondrea helped us look at I don't know how many homes and eventually showed us plans for a new construction home that we absolutely fell in love with! She expertly guided us through the entire process from start to finish, was ALWAYS there anytime we had a question or concern or need to address issues with the builder etc. I simply cannot say enough good things about how positive our experience with Ondrea as our realtor was! I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home. You will be getting a first-rate realtor who will do everything in her power to make your dream home become your reality. Thank you to the entire Joe Manausa Team, but especially, thank you to Kevin, Cate and Ondrea. You guys are fantastic!
Joe Manausa realty was great to work with! Ondrea Maldonado worked with us to find just the right place. She was helpful, responsive, patient, and fun! Others we spoke to on the team were always professional and helpful as well
They sold us our dream home and helped us sell our old one. We are very happy with Joe’s team.
I've had the pleasure of working with Kevin Milligan on three home purchases in the past two years. Kevin has yet again provided stellar service! I live out of state and honestly cannot imagine tackling such a challenging endeavor with any other realtor. Kevin is a true professional, unwavering, and remains calm when faced with adversity. Regardless of how busy he is, Kevin always takes the time to answer calls/texts/emails. Kevin delivers on his word which is a crucial character trait for me. Not to mention, he remembers small quirky details on how I like to handle transactions and paperwork, which in my opinion is significant. That proves he really is in tune with his clients. If I purchased thirty more homes, I would call Kevin each and every time. As far as I'm concerned, Kevin is the only realtor in Tally. Whether you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned investor, Joe Manausa's blogs and YouTube videos provide a wealth of information. I'm able to keep up to date on all of the local market trends without even actually living in Florida. If you enjoy statistics, charts, graphics, & historical data (like I do) then the information that Joe provides is invaluable.
Cate Saunders at Joe Manausa Real Estate listened to our needs and requirements and found us the perfect home. Her advice and timely actions were critical in getting our offer accepted by the sellers. Everything after that was easy. We had no concerns with the quality and knowledge she provided. We are now living in this fabulous home and couldn't be happier. Many, many thanks to Cate and Joe Manausa Real Estate!
Chris Poyner and colleagues went all out to help us find a home, even from a distance. We virtually toured several homes and were able to find one that met almost all of our wish list items and was in a great neighborhood.
Lyndsey is amazing!! She understood exactly what I want and need and found numerous properties to tour. Having previously bought and sold several homes, Lyndsey is so easy to work with (and a lot of fun, too). She made the entire process incredible.
The agents at Joe Manausa Real Estate are so welcoming and offer a great and very informative presentation. My friends are relocating from up north and they felt like someone really listened to their needs and they truly care about finding them exactly what they want. Extremely impressed!!
After working with two other agents my husband and I finally found Therese Gagliano at Joe Manausa Real estate. Working with Therese has made the buying process so much easier. She was able to help us find a home we loved in our price range and made the entire process a breeze. Being new to Florida she even helped my husband and I with choosing a good location based on our priorities, budget, and our work commute. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She has been amazing and made this transition seamless for us.
I recently completed my home search and purchase in Tallahassee with Lyndsey Palmer. I can only give high praise for Lyndsey, and the entire team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. Everyone is friendly and professional, and assists buyers with anything they need. Love them!
Chris Poyner was a joy to work with. Ambitious, thorough, responsive and a real professional. Very easy to work with and talk to and always had our best interests in mind. He went out of his way to show properties, research listings, historical data, surrounding areas, etc., . Well prepared, extensively familiar with the geographic areas, and targeted those properties that really met our criteria. Would gladly work with him again!
Joe’s process was a life saver in the buying process. As first time home owners in Tallahassee we learned so much regarding the market and buying process here in Tallahassee. Joe manausa real estate was a blessing, extremely professional and caring.
Joe Manausa Real Estate was incredibly helpful with giving me accurate housing market information for the Tallahassee area. The agent I spoke to was also able to help me figure out the type of home I wanted as well. 5 Star Service!
Just completed a meeting with Scarlett Carter. It was a presentation presenting the current state of the housing market and very helpful bits of information about the process of purchasing a home. Not your usual power point snooze fest that takes you to napville. It was well thought out and engages you along with the presentation.
The Joe Manausa team is always super helpful and easy to work with. Ondrea Maldonado is well educated in her field and is especially friendly and always willing to help answer my questions no matter how small or insignificant they seem. Great people to work with during what kind be a stressful transaction.
Ondrea Maldonado was very professional. She really did an amazing job. She answered all of my questions and was very patient with me. I would highly recommend using them. Go see Ondrea she is the best.
Chris Poyner was an outstanding agent to work with - part of the Manausa team. He represented our best perspectives in mind and took a real interest in getting the right property at the best price. Would highly recommend him - and would gladly use him again in this capacity! A real pro....
Great experience! Ondrea Maldonado’s teamwork and professionalism was just what we needed. Thank you for your patience and care!
Joe Manausa and his Tallahassee real estate team are a fun group of professionals that make the stresses of searching for a home easy. They completely understand the fears and anxieties of buying a home and they do everything possible to ease every worry! I highly recommend them for anyone that wants an easy experience of finding the perfect home.
The team here is incredibly professional and helpful. Therese was very knowledgeable about the home buying process and market and was able to answer all of my questions.
I worked with Marcus Edenfield and had a great experience purchasing a home in the school zone I needed on a tight budget. He was responsive when I had questions or wanted to see a home and went above and beyond to secure a home that met my needs.
Chris was very honest and made our entire experience a breeze!
Great company! Deswin answered all the questions I had as a first time buyer, and was very patient with me through this process. I'll definitely be a returning customer in the future (if needed) ??.
Lyndsey Palmer is amazing. I came in from out of town to look at homes. We were in contact every day prior to my arrival in Tallahassee. Upon my arrival she mapped out numerous homes for me to tour . She is knowledgeable, professional and personable. I feel as if I've made a new friend. I definitely recommend this Realtor and hope you are luck enough to work with her.
So far we are pleased with the service. We have a long way to go but the power point presentation was great. We hope to find our home and have confidence in the realtors at Joe Manausa Real Estate.
I'm new to the area. A friend referred me to the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. This is my first home buying experience. In the beginning, everything seemed so overwhelming. I spoke with Ondrea Maldonado during my visit. Ms. Maldonado answered all of my questions and addressed every concern. She has completely changed my outlook on being a first time home buyer. I'm now ready to begin this new chapter in my life thanks to Ms. Maldonado and the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate!
My husband and I had the most amazing experience during this stressing process. We got sold since our first visit to Jose Manausa offices. My husband and I tried before with two other agencies but we were not sold at all, they gave us accurate information but they were very cold. What makes Joe Manausa experience so inviting is the way we were greeted they make us fill like humans, not like one more customer buying a home. Our first meeting was with our Sale Associate , Ondrea Maldonado, she provided us , first time home buyers with all the detailed information of buying a home, she was very patient with us, we had a lot of question that she professionally, answered for us. She guided to all our process, out first attempt to get pre approved didn't go to well, we find out that we still needed to work on some areas of our credit, but we were not demotivated, instead we work hard and wait for a couple of month and that is when we were pre approved and then approved for the Loan and we became Home owner. It was tense but Joe Manausa and Ondrea make it very easy for us. They were there for us throughout the process until the end. We ask so many questions and they always responded to us. Little things have a great impact, we were extremely grateful and pleasantly surprise that at the closing date we received from Ondrea and Joe Manausa a picture frame with the painting of our home, just awesome and then we got home, we were surprised again, we found a Welcome doormat and little plant and a card from Ondrea. We are so happy; we are living in our dream home, our little piece of heaven in earth. Thank you Joe Manausa and everyone else involved in this process but the especial Thanks you and 5 stars go to Ondrea Maldonado!
Cannot say enough about this group! They helped me buy my first home and when I moved out of state and needed to sell, they literally had it sold in less than week! Thank you Kevin Milligan and Cate Saunders for navigating me through the process! I’m very grateful to you both!
My husband and I started looking for a new home through Joe Manausa Real Estate in 2018, with one of their wonderful real estate agents, Eva Armstrong. Eva was a good match for us, very experienced and knowledgeable, patient and a great guide through all things real estate.. We started our journey in 2018 with a great home on some acreage, just what we were looking for. The home was beautiful, large, open...perfect! Unfortunately, Hurricane Michael hit and a big oak fell on the house, requiring major repairs which took quite a while. We moved on, viewing homes all around Tallahassee, as the housing market grew hotter, and more and more competitive. We persevered, with Eva showing us home after home. I learned a lot from Eva about neighborhoods, house styles, home inspections, WDO issues, etc. We had to pull out of 2 contracts due to issues revealed during inspections. Frustrated, we moved on, with Eva patiently leading us through more viewings until we found a wonderful home, large with a great layout, on acreage, fenced, in a beautiful established neighborhood! Third time's a charm. Success! We have settled in, after a quick, stressless closing, and we're happy after the eventful, but instructive journey, led by Eva and the wonderful professionals at Joe Manausa! Thank you all, especially Eva Armstrong.
Nikky is a fantastic realtor! She is super knowledgeable about the local area and about the process of buying a house. Working with her was my first time buying a house and she helped me to understand all of the big and small details that this process includes. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor.
I had a great experience working with Nikky Manausa and Joe Manausa Real Estate. I first met Nikky when I reached out to her through Zillow about a rental property she owned. I was on the fence about buying at that point because I was scared of the commitment. When I found out Nikky was a realtor, I shared this with her and she helped put my fears at ease. It worked out great as I was able to rent from Nikky for 9 months while I familiarized myself with Tallahassee and decided what my priorities in a home were. Throughout the process, I felt that Nikky was invested in helping me find a home that I loved. She was patient with all of my questions as a first-time homebuyer and really worked to ensure that I understood the process. She also connected me with other great people including my lender and home inspector who also made the process easier. She was also easy to reach and willing to go above and beyond. I purchased my home during a very competitive seller’s market. Nikky helped me put together a competitive and fair offer that I was comfortable with. I don’t think I would have ended up getting the house if it was not for her advice as we were putting together the offer. She made sure that I choose a number that I was comfortable with and that I did not overpay. I really value Nikky’s negotiation skills, which were not only important during the offer stage but also post inspection when it was discovered the house needed a new roof. She was able to negotiate a new roof paid for by the seller. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nikky and would definitely recommend her to other first-time buyers! I have been in my home for just over 3 months and could not be happier!
As a first time home buyer, I was very thankful for all the amazing people on this team! Scarlett and Halima made the process simple and made sure to answer any questions I had. Everyone was always very nice and courteous. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a home!
Chris Poyner did an excellent job in helping us find a property with very specific characteristics and time constraints. As an out of state buyer, he accommodated our availability and provided invaluable insight into the local market. He listened to the requirements and found properties that met our needs. From the start of the search to the closing, he was always available to answer our questions. I would highly recommend him and Manausa Real Estate for anyone searching in the Tallahassee market.
I used this highly recommended Tallahassee realtor whilst looking at buying a summer house recently. Top quality service from the salesman (did't catch his namee, a friendly chap, Welsh with a bald head) who knew exactly what he was selling. I'd say they're the best Realtor in the region, five star customer service.
I had two great experiences with Eva A. , an agent with the Manuasa Realty Firm. In 2016, She sold me my townhouse and then when I was ready to sell it this year, she sold it for me. I was not in the area and she went the extra mile to make both transactions as smooth as possible. I highly recommend her and the Manuasa Realty Firm.
Best realtor in Tallahassee by far! Their team is very professional, responsive, hard working and pleasant to work with. Their customer service exceeded all of my expectations and made the buying/selling process really enjoyable. Five stars!
As first time home buyers, my husband and I were not fully prepared for what we were walking in to with this current market. We rented from Nikky Manausa for years, and when we were finally ready to take the next steps, Nikky was ready to assist and guide us along our search. She used every home showing as an opportunity to help us solidify our likes/dislikes in a home, the state of the current housing market, what to expect, and future homeowner issues we might encounter. Nikky was available for questions when we needed her and always flexible for home showings. We were very conservative when we started our journey. We had an idea for what we wanted in a home, but after starting our search, we quickly realized our budget was not conducive for the part of town we originally wanted to be on. After multiple conversations with my husband and some serious consideration, we almost gave up. Nikky wanted us to consider a different side of town, but we were reluctant at first. She sent us a cute yellow home, and very politely insisted that we go check it out. We did, and it was perfect. The size was great, the location was good, and it was quiet with the privacy we wanted. Nikky submitted our offer and with a stroke of luck, it was accepted! She was involved, offered her expertise, and even helped with paint selection! We are so glad she nudged us out of our box. Nikky and everyone at Joe Manausa Real Estate are professional and knowledgeable. Nikky Manausa really does know what she is doing. Our Realtor for life!
Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very accommodating and professional throughout our entire home-buying process. I would not hesitate to recommend him or Joe Manausa Real Estate.
Best Tallahassee realtor for both buying and selling your home. I couldn’t say that they had anything less than a five star customer service.
I found Joe Manausa on YouTube. He publishes incredibly informative videos about the housing market and Tallahassee in particular. So, when I was ready to buy a home and return to my home state of Florida from Las Vegas, his group was the only one I wanted to work with. I knew I made the right decision when I started working with agent Ondrea Maldonado. Since I am not on site to physically walk through the home, Ondrea FaceTimed with me and walked me through the house and the property - and answered all the questions I had. She's kept me up to date on inspections and overall progress. She has held my hand through all of this with a level of professionalism and kindness that is out of this world. I appreciate her due diligence and follow through. I can't imagine anyone providing me a more personalized, generous and professional service. (Special shouout to Halima Ike - my Buyer Transaction Coordinator - THANK YOU for helping save me some money on services. You didn't need to do that, and I appreciate you so much.) Ondrea & Halima - thanks to you, Joe Manausa Real Estate will have my business and loyalty for LIFE.
My husband and I can not recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate enough. We have used them to purchase and sell a home and most recently purchase our current home. Ondrea was a great asset to have navigating this crazy market. She was responsive and willing to show us house after house after house without pressuring us into putting an offer that we would not be happy with. Ultimately, we went with a new construction build which had challenge after challenge. Without Ondrea advocating for us, I do not believe we would have ever gotten our house built. She was someone we could depend on and vent our frustration to. She did everything in her power to make sure we were not taken advantage of in the process and make sure we ultimately were happy with the house. Even 3 months after we closed on our house, she was willing to go out of her way to pick up our mailbox keys from our HOA and deliver them to us this week. While we are in our forever house, if we ever do have to sell and buy a new house we will continue to use Joe Manausa.
Lyndsey with Joe Manausa was knowledgeable, quick to respond an expert in finding just the right home for me, very honest and wanted to make sure I was pleased before making an offer very open and honest with my best interests in mind thanks Lindsey Palmer of Joe Manausa Real Estate. Well pleased with your service and expertise.
SCARLETT AND THE TEAM MADE IT ALL SEEM SO EASY. VERY HAPPY WE CHOSE MANAUSA FOR OUR REALTOR.
Kevin and the team provided excellent support during every step of our home buying process. Our first meeting with Kevin included an informative presentation about the real estate market and we had the opportunity to ask all our questions. They assisted with finding the right mortgage company, home owners insurance and even local service companies like locksmiths. We had such a pleasant, smooth and stress-free experience thanks to Joe Manausa Real Estate!
When Tim and I decided we were trading in the snow for sunshine we didn't even know where to start. We didn't know anything about the area or anything. I was fortunate to come across Joe Manausa Realty. Chris P was a gem to work with. We did everything over the phone and video. We walked into the house for the first time after we closed. Chris was knowledgeable of the area and was available everytime I had a question. He definitely earned his pay on this one. Thank you so much Chris!
I just closed on my very first home on 10/6/2021 through the VA. Chris was my agent, and I could not have asked for anyone better. Chris guided me through the VA loan process and always kept me in the loop. I would refer anyone who is looking for an agent to use Manausa Real Estate, especially my fellow service members and Veterans. You will not go wrong with Manausa!!
Back in the end of 2020 I spoke with kevin Milligan from Joe Manausa and he worked hard to help us get into your dream home. He worked very hard along with his staff to get everything we needed and inform us of all the details involved. By January 2021 we were getting closing ready and on February 2 2021 we got our keys and are still loving our home. Kevin has checked in on us multiple times throughout the year and that shows he cares. I tell all my family and friends to use Joe Manausa real estate for their home buying.
Our agents was Ondrea Maldonado and we found her to be very knowledgeable of the Tallahassee area. She asked pertinent questions that helped guide us to the the neighborhoods most aligned with our wants and needs. We searched in several areas from Crawfordville to Bradfordville. She returned our calls/texts promptly and if she didn’t know the answer to our question she would get back to us quickly. We would recommend her if for your next home purchase
We worked with Chris Poyner, who showed patience and professionalism during our search, through the closing, and afterwards. Very satisfied!
Buying a home is always a very stressful and exhausting process. I can't believe how fortunate I was to have found Ondrea Maldonado from Joe Manausa Real Estate. Ondrea listened to all of my wishes and needs for my new home and guided me though the process. Her patience in handling all of my "panic" phone calls really kept me calm. Knowing that she had an amazing team behind her was just an added bonus. This is the third home that I have purchased and by far the best experience. Highly recommend Ms. Maldonado and Joe Manausa Real Estate. <img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userFiles/663/image/realtor-reviews-google.png" alt="Realtor Reviews Tallahassee" title="Why Homebuyers Say About JMRE" width="250" height="149" style="margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; float: left;" />

My wife and I bought our first home with the help of our fantastic agent Therese. She was super responsive through the entire process. With the craziness of the market, we found a new listing, scheduled a viewing, saw the house, and had to put in an offer all in the same day; Therese was there to help us that day from the morning until late that night. I'm certain that if we had gone with another agent outside of Manausa, we would not have gotten the home that we have been so happy with.
Ondrea was my realtor. I had no idea where to look or if I wanted to build or buy a home. Ondrea was very patient, she researched homes I would be interested in and knew about the homes she was showing. I finally decided to build after seeing numerous homes. Ondrea helped me thru the building process and even helped me make choices for finishing the home. I will forever be grateful for her help and Kindness.
I have just recently started working wht Lyndsey Palmer with Joe Manausa Real Estate. So far my experience has been phenomenal. She has laid out the entire process of purchasing a home, which is what i really needed so that I know what my goals and needs are for each step of the process. I think this is critical in the home buying process.
When we were shopping for our home, we had a great appointment with Ondrea and learned lots in the process!
Thank you to Ondrea, it was our first time buying a house and she went above and beyond and made the process so simple and easy . My wife and I are so happy to be in our new home ! Thank you so much again :)
As a young professional and first time homebuyer, Joe Manausa Real Estate provided excellent service. I had the pleasure of working with Scarlett Carter, Ondrea Maldonado, and Halima Ike. Scarlett walked me through the home buying process which made the process alot easier before looking at properties. Scarlett was very attentive to my needs and kept me updated every step of the way. Together they provided quick responses to my requests / questions and worked around the clock to make sure the home buying process went smoothly. I really appreciate all their hard work and would definitely recommend to any potential first time homebuyers.
We worked with Scarlett to purchase a house. She was extremely responsive to our questions and flexible with our schedule for showings. Great to work with overall and made an overwhelming experience a positive one.
Joe manauas was great we had Ondera her an her team were amazing from start to finish with helping us fund our new home
This team was so helpful before, during, and after the purchase of my home! Would not hesitate to use them again if I ever decide to sell my home in the future.
I started my journey with Manausa Real Estate back in October. My realtor Kat greeted me with a smile. She was very professional, calm spirited and very knowledgeable. I was able to reach out to her day and night. She was responsive like "Johnnie on the spot". There wasn't any problem with looking at several properties. She was informative as she networked with other realtors to get me in to view other properties. I feel so blessed to have Katlyn Vasallo by my side. Thanks for making this experience smooth as possible. BClary
My agent Kaitlyn was extremely patient and understable throughout the entire house hunting/home buying process. She was diligent with setting up appointments to view a home within the constraints of our busy work schedules,as well as allowing us to view several properties before their offical open house.I would highly recommend her services to any future home buyers.
We had the pleasure of working with two JMRE realtors, Cate and Ondrea. They were both professional, honest, responsive, and overall wonderful to work with in the selling of our home and purchase of our new home. JMRE is a hard working, knowledgeable group, and we sold our home very quickly. They made what can be a very stressful time so much easier for us.
The Manausa team is really professional and great to work with. Spoke with Ondrea about our new home buying process and she was really knowledgeable and helpful to put together a plan for us with multiple reasonable options. Highly recommended for the Tallhassee area.
Lyndsey was such a helpful and wonderful person to work with! She did virtual tours in great detail, helped explain each step of the process, and has even checked in with us after closing! We couldn't have asked for a better experience or person to walk us through this journey. We are now home owners because of her :) if I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Katlyn did an outstanding job assisting my mortgage client in purchasing his first home. She had a short time frame with a difficult price range to work with but she succeeded in finding him a great home. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Joe Manausa Real Estate was a wonderful business to work with! I would recommend them to anyone looking to move forward with the home buying process. My agent Kat was wonderful! She would go above and beyond for me when it came to questions or concerns! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Scarlett and the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate were so easy to work with. They were always quick to answer any questions I had and were always willing to work around my schedule to suit my needs. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Tallahassee area!!
Scarlett was my realtor and she did a phenomenal job in every aspect of the purchase. I was a tough cookie because I knew what I was looking for and didn’t want to settle for something less. She showed me no less than 50 homes in a 6 month timeframe, and even helped me make 5 offers that I got outbid on. Finally, the 6th home I made an offer on, was the perfect one, where my offer was accepted! She was so patient with me throughout those 6 months, and truly wanted me to find the right home for me, not just one where she made the sale. The next time I buy a home, I will only use Scarlett because of the phenomenal service she provided me. Thanks so much, Scarlett!!!
Everyone at Manausa is amazing, they work as a team, no sale tactics, they just want what is best for you. Special thanks to Lindsey Palmer for all your hard work.
I had the pleasure of working with Deswin and l must admit, the experience was great. Thank you for your expertise and the knowledge you provided. It was very comforting to have you demonstrate professionalism a patience during this process.
Michelle Manausa was the best thing that happened us when looking for our first home! She helped us navigate a very competitive market and ultimately find a home we love and have fun while doing it! I would highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate to anyone.
We had a wonderful experience with Michelle Manausa and Joe Manausa Real Estate. Michelle walked us through the whole process and was so patient with us as we looked at house after house. She really paid attention to what we wanted and tailored our home search to those details. She helped us find our perfect home. I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate and especially Michelle Manausa.
My agent, Deswin Cearnel was BEYOND AMAZING! She is competent, empathetic, and extremely professional. Thank you so much for making our experience with Joe Manausa smooth and satisfactory. If you are in need of an agent, please choose Deswin...you won't regret your choice. :)
I had such a wonderful experience working with Katlyn V. and the entire Joe Manausa Real Estate team! She made me feel extremely comfortable to reach out with any and all questions. She was timely in her responses and an all around pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend anyone house hunting in Tallahassee to work with Katlyn or anyone on the Joe Manausa Real Estate team.
Katlyn Vasallo is beyond amazing and PATIENT!! Every.... JUST ONE MORE QUESTION was answered with the professional and easy to understand real estate language. Her knowledge of the business kept me at ease throughout our transaction. Thank you Kat, you're great.
Thank you so much Lynsey.. She kept me updated every step of the process and made sure I was taken care of. I'm glad I looked at Joe's utube and decided afterwards to make this my choice agency. I knew the experience was here.
Ok Ondrea was my agent , my over all experiences were 5 star with are agent . I’m giving her the highest rating for her over all well manors and professional attitude . Very patient, We we’re not able to purchase a house using the VA loan platform because of the Local market competition , very tough market right now . Thank you Joe and company.
Stacie from Joe Manaus helped us finding our dream home within 2 months. Her advice and support through closing was invaluable. She was polite, available, friendly, and knowledgable. We could not have done it without her. We will highly recommend Stacie & Joe Manausa.
Scarlett, Halima and Kevin helped me through every step of the process. I was able to close on a tight deadline and it was all thanks to the excellent team. They made the whole process easy. Will be doing business with them again.
can't speak highly enough about the team at Joe Manausa Real Estate. They were patient with us during our search (we took a long time to buy), and constantly attentive with frequent (sometimes daily) updates about new homes on the market. They've struck the right balance between leveraging virtual tools to chase our home purchasing goals and personalized customer service - not only was the purchasing process easy despite the enormity of paperwork involved due to their virtual interfaces, we also felt like they listened when we talked about what we needed in a home. Plan to use them again in the future!
Ondrea went above and beyond for me and answered any questions I had! Communication was on point very quick to respond to text and calls they really made this process easy I highly recommend I wish I could give 1000 stars
What can I say. Stacie Boone has been God sent. She helped my son find a townhouse that is perfect for him last year. She helped me sell my house with offers coming in before it was officially on the market and sold in 4 days. Then she found my new forever home. I have been in a week and absolutely love it. Stacie Boone is the best realtor in town, she makes buying and selling easy. Love you, Stacie.
Stacie Boone is a wonderful person and a great realtor! She makes the entire process of purchasing a home super easy. She handles all the details from beginning to end and is always available to answer questions. I highly recommend Stacie, she goes above and beyond to make your experience a happy one. You can count on her to take care of you like a dear friend! Thank you Stacie! We love our home.
I worked with Stacie Boone for several years to finally find my dream house. Stacie had assisted me and my daughter in years past and I knew she'd be my agent when I needed to make another purchase. Stacie is smart, hardworking, and personable. If you're needing an agent, I highly recommend Stacie!!
Met with Tim Russell yesterday evening to talk about what I am looking for in buying a home. He talked me through the current market situation and advised me of all the home buying options currently available. It was a no pressure, very informative presentation. Will be working with Tim in the foreseeable future on finding the right home for me to purchase.
Ondrea and the Manausa team are the best in their field for Leon county real estate. The fact that their law firm also handles escrow makes the transaction that much easier.
As a first time home buyer, I was originally overwhelmed and nervous about the whole process. But Ondrea Maldonado and the team at Manausa really helped me feel comfortable with the entire process, the whole time: before, during, and after the purchase. Ondrea was extremely responsive and always answered any and all of the questions I had. And I felt reassured knowing that if for any reason she was unavailable, other highly skilled team members would be there to help. It was really an exceptional service from start to finish (and even afterward) that I feel is a rare find. I’m very glad I choose this realty company to guide me through the scary but exciting process of buying your first home. I would highly recommend them (especially Ondrea!) to anyone looking to buy a home.
Prior to moving from Montana, we inquired on a house of interest in Tallahassee. JMRE responded the same evening with Catherine Beeche helping to uncover our needs and desires the following morning. With in 2 days, Catherine shot, delivered and reviewed with us 3 virtual tours on homes of interest as well as several others we might consider. Our home search and closing process was very smooth due in large part to The JMRE approach and Catherine's commitment to walk with us from start to closure. Thank you Catherine and JMRE Phil and Carol
Ondrea Maldonado is AMAZING. She went above and beyond and is clearly committed to her work. Her approach is open, honest, and caring. We felt comfortable discussing our every need and concern with her and knew they'd all be met with responses and solutions we could trust. I highly recommend Joe Manausa Real Estate and especially recommend Ondrea!
Taylor was great! Good sense of humor. Was there for us all thru the process. Very responsive and a positive attitude all thru the process! I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you Taylor!
Lyndsey Palmer is an amazing realtor. She walked us through every step. From our first phone call expessing interest in buying to closing she worked diligently to find us exactly what we wanted. I cannot express how professional she is and how she made the impossible a reality for our family. Truly a 5 star realtor!! ??
