Review for Member: Annette Balestra
ZillowVERIFIEDAnnette was great to work with to sell our home. From the first meeting through closing, she was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail and aspect of the deal. She provided valuable guidance on pricing, marketing, and preparing the property for showings, which helped generate strong interest from buyers. Throughout the process, Annette was highly responsive, kept us informed at every stage, and was always available to answer questions or address any concerns. Her understanding of the Miami market and strategic approach gave us confidence that the house was being represented effectively. She worked diligently on our behalf, handled negotiations skillfully, and helped ensure a smooth transaction from contract to the closing. Selling a home can be stressful, but Annette made the process much easier with her expertise, communication, and dedication. We are grateful for her hard work and would recommend her to anyone looking to sell a home, or buy!

ZillowVERIFIED After 40 years in my Miami home, selling it was not just a transaction aEUR" it was letting go of a lifetime of memories. From the very beginning, Annette understood that and treated me with the care, patience, and respect you give to family. While I was in Orlando, she handled everything aEUR" finding a trustworthy cleaner, arranging beautiful photographs, guiding me through each decision, and taking on all the big and small tasks that can feel overwhelming with a move of this size. Annette navigated every challenge with grace, wisdom, and professionalism, while showing a level of empathy and kindness that is rare to find. I never felt rushed, pressured, or alone. She made a difficult transition not only possible but comforting, and for that I will always be grateful. Annette didnt just help me sell my house aEUR" she helped me close a chapter of my life with dignity and peace.

ZillowVERIFIED Annette, as well as Yania, displayed top-notch professionalism in the selling process. They were very helpful and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had regarding our transaction. No matter what that concern was, their attention, help and patience was wonderful. We really appreciate it. We recommend them for their attention to the client, honesty, and for always being informative.

ZillowVERIFIED Annette was outstanding throughout the selling process! She was professional, responsive, clear and showed great negotiating skills. We got 2 full ask cash offers in less than 3 days and we were able to close at a record price for the these units in the building. Annette went to battle for 2 months to get the deal across the finish line. We can't say enough about how happy we were with Annette's guidance, as the process can be very difficult at times. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for you real estate needs, and we already have several times! Excellent!!

ZillowVERIFIED Annette was amazing in helping me find the perfect office space.

ZillowVERIFIED Annette and her team are very professional and great at keeping you updated during the entire process, from searching through inventory, evaluating properties, negotiations, closing and post closing follow-up. She is very knowledgeable about the market and trends and provides an unbias opinion on potential properties. Just what I needed throughout the home buying process. Highly recommend giving her a call.

Review for Member: Annette Balestra
ZillowVERIFIED Annette was the absolute top of the line. She helped us find our forever home, and rent our other home. She was patient, understanding, creative in her negotiations, zealous, and, most importantly, captured our vision like if it were hers and made our dream (and then some) come true. I can't imagine purchasing a home with anyone else -- or even selling, come to think of it. Her negotiation skills were unmatched. Not to mention her ability to explain things in terms we could understand, perhaps more times than I care to admit. When it came to finding a tenant, she knew exactly how to pick up on red flags and how to approach the market. I cannot thank her enough, and cannot recommend her enough.

ZillowVERIFIED After months of working with another realtor in this crazy market. Someone recommended me to Annette and the rest is history. She was the right realtor to work with us as first time home buyers. After just a month we were under contract and she made the whole process as easy as it could be.

Review for Member: Annette Balestra
ZillowVERIFIED I never imagined that we would be able to buy our dream house in this market, and I know that without Annette it would not have been possible. She is patient and hands-on, which made us feel fully supported throughout the very complex process of buying and selling. She spent many hours with us on the phone, answering every one of our questions and giving us advice on all aspects related to home buying. On top of that, she is professional and friendly, and always looked out for our best interests. Finding a good agent in South Florida like Annette is like finding a needle in a haystack and we are lucky to have been able to work with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Flawless! That is defined as not a single flaw in the whole process. Annette kept me and my wife updated the entire time and made us feel at ease every step of the way. Purchasing your first home can be extremely nerve wrecking and Annette was there to answer all of our concerns. Cant wait to work with her again!

Review for Member: Annette Balestra
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I looked for a realtor aEURoeWe TrustedaEUR? that could put our condominium on the market and sell it for what we wanted and the fastest. We knew Annette was the only realtor that could do this. She has been helping buyers and sellers since the 90s in the Miami area. She made our experience an easy one. Her knowledge of the market helped in setting the price. Her expertise put the condo on the market on a Friday, showed it Saturday, and Sunday. We had offers over asking price on Monday. We listed and sold within 45 days. We were the highest sold condominium in recent years. We highly recommend Annette to anyone that wants to sell or buy property in Miami. She is Amazing...

ZillowVERIFIED Annette is the realtor you want! Trust me on this! Annette is extremely professional and strong while also maintaining a warm and inviting personality. Annette found us our dream home and guided us to beat out 25 other offers! She ensured every little detailed was given attention, was able to answer every question we had, and helped guide us in a successful direction! She has a team of trusted realtors so if she wasn't available for something she provided a trusted team member whom all of which were professional, knowledgeable and friendly! We recommend everyone to Annette and will be using her for all future real estate deals!

ZillowVERIFIED One of the best qualities about Annette, is she sees buying a home or selling your home, through your eyes and not whats best for business or the bottom line. She makes you feel like your her only client. Shes organized, responsive, and puts your needs first! We cant say enough about how happy we were with Annette as our realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED Annette is simply the best- so knowledgeable on the market, patient and punctual, and a great negotiator. Annette was so patient with us as we searched for a perfect forever home for our family and never gave up on us during these crazy times in the market. She was always great at keeping up aware and fully informed on each property we viewed. She always responded quickly to our emails and phone calls. Weve worked with other realtors in the past and none can compare to the expertise and professionalism we experienced with Annette. I highly recommend her!

Review for Member: Annette Balestra
ZillowVERIFIED Are you looking for a savvy realtor who is unavoidably likeable, totally understands the real estate market, carefully listens and genuinely cares about her clients? LOOK NO FURTHER, Annette Balestra is the realtor you can trust and the one you need!In just one week, she finessed 11 offers for my home, four of which were well over my original asking price. Lets face it, selling or buying a home is a super emotional process. An informed and companionate realtor should be the one you choose. Thats why I chose, Annette Balestra and why I recommend her to you.Ultimately, I decided not to sell as my home has been in my family for 49 years. Instead, I rented it to my brother, sister-in-law, my two nephews and their dog. I was embarrassed and terrified to tell Annette. Turns out, my concerns were unfounded. She took it in stride, with grace then hugged me hard and said, aEURoeI'm so happy you made the right choice for yourself and your family.aEUR? Annette Balestra went beyond the mile for me. Let her do the same for you.Sincerely grateful,Gisela Cerra

ZillowVERIFIED Since the first moment we met Annette & Janice, up till well after closing on our dream house, the experience has been overwhelmingly positive.This Lux team listened to our specific needs, provided an analysis of the market, got us to the right appointments punctually and helped with the negotiations, paperwork and strict schedule of events towards closing. Even today, they are glad to provide us with solutions on issues that arise, and so was the case during the course of the entire home buying process.If you are serious in getting your home closed-on smoothly, we highly recommend Annette & Janice. Top-Notch experience. Thank you, ladies!
