My wife and I relocated to Florida from Utah. We were referred to Andrew and his team by our Utah Realtor. He and his team were great to work with. They were very understanding and responsive to our needs. No request was ignored and they were dealt with them in a timely, professional manner. We would definitely recommend Using the Pepper Team. If we are ever in the market to make another purchase, we will be reaching out to them.

Our experience with the Pepper team was amazing! They helped us sell our home and the process was beyond smooth! Everyone on that team is amazing and you can tell its because of Andrews amazing leadership. We tried to sell ourselves for almost a month and had no offers, once we went with the Pepper team we had multiple offers within a day of their listing being out. They guided us so we could take the best offer, so we accepted one of them and everything went so smooth that we didnt have to worry about absolutely anything, specially with all the loan troubles that selling ourselves would have been! They also helped us find our next home and referred us to great team out of state. They are without a doubt the best Realty Team anyone can wish for when selling and/ or buying!

My Husband and I have used Andrew Pepper and his amazing team twice now and will also be using them for our next purchase because they make it so dang easy! They made both buying and selling a breeze and quickly answered ANY questions we had. If you are using anyone else you are probably leaving time and money on the tableaEUR|

The Pepper Team helped us sell our house in Palmetto. You don't know how munch is involved with selling a house until you start down that path. Andrew and his excellent team were very supportive, informative and hands on through the whole process. Of course there are always curves and dips to navigate around. Andrew and his team did a hats off job in getting us to the finish line. Very pleased with the whole process. Thanks Pepper Team!

We used Andrew and his team to sell our townhome and to buy our new home in Sarasota. Andrew made himself available whenever we needed him; and both transactions went flawlessly. We highly recommend you contact Andrew if you are in the market to buy or sell. Thanks Andrew!

Thank you so much for all of your help! We are so grateful for all of the hard work you've done to find our dream home. We are endlessly grateful to have you as our agent and couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out. You were very thorough and professional. We really appreciated how you were on top of things and how you kept us informed every step of the way. Jho I also wanted to throw in my two cents on thanking you and your team on helping us get through this home buying process with great professionalism, integrity and patience. I was very impressed with your response time to any inquiry that we had and your eagerness to be helpful beyond the basic real estate agent basic job description. In my opinion, anyone that doesn't use you as their agent is losing out on meeting and working with a top notch agent and much more importantly, a top notch person. I am looking forward to being able to confidently highly recommend Team Pepper to anyone that is considering a real estate transaction. Thanks again for helping us be as ease though this whole real estate adventure/relocation process. Bob

Andrew is the best realtor we have had in 40 years. We were so comfortable with his honesty and knowledge that we were able to buy the home long distance and relocate easily. He has many connections besides the normal financing. He is an Intercal part of the community that we want to live in so we look forward to maintaining a valued friendship over the years

Andrew took time with us. No pressure and really wanted to see us in a home we loved. Very helpful with finding professional help even after the closing. He was a delight to work with. Would recommend him to our friends without hesitation.
