Testimonials

“I’ve dealt with a lot of Realtors and most are great at making excuses.  When I started working with Jay Kapit I immediately realized that he never made an excuse.  He provided solid facts and took the time to explain my options.  Beyond that, Jay is RELENTLESS (I’m pretty sure he doesn’t sleep)! He gets the job done.  I give Jay Kapit my 100% endorsement. He is the man!”

Darlene and I would like to express our gratitude for selling our South Florida property. When we inherited this property it had previously been on the market for 3 years with hardly any activity.

 

After listing the property with you, it was amazing the amount of activity that you were able to generate given the fact that we were relatively still at the same price that the previous broker had it at for the last 6 months of their listing.

 

Your experience as both a realtor and as an attorney was a winning combination for us since we live out of the area. Your negotiating skills were second to none. We trusted that your review of the documents would be complete and you certainly did not let us down.

 

I interviewed several agents in the South Florida marketplace prior to hiring you and to be honest; none of them even came close to your level of communication and responsiveness.  We would have no reservations recommending you and your team to any of our friends who were looking to sell their property.

 

Kudos to you and your team!   All the Best,   Lars & Darlene

EWM Guys do RENTALS!

longboat

 

Often times, clients or would-be clients inadvertently make the mistake of thinking that we only sell high-priced homes.  Not true, says Jason Kapit, Team Leader of the EWM Guys.  “This is a relationship business, not a property business.  Our relationships dictate what we sell, always!  If a client needs us to find or sell a multi-million dollar property, that’s what we do, but that same client might need us to rent an investment property.  Certainly we are not going to say no.  We are there for our clients in whatever capacity is required.”

EWM Guys Deliver Big Time For First-Time Home Buyer!

When Oscar needed help finding his FIRST home, David Betancourt was there, combing through hundreds of properties to find the best deal in the neighborhood Oscar wanted.  Finally, after careful evaluation, they put together a deal on this home which ultimately closed without a hitch.

 

“My experience having worked with one of EWM’s professionals was most gratifying.  My EWM realtor not only took the time to get to know me; He also took the time to listen and understand what my needs were. Having a good understanding of what I was looking for, David B. worked with me for several months until we found the perfect home for me, in the right neighborhood, and his industry-experience played a key role in making sure i paid the right price for my new home.

JK Team -

THANK YOU very much for the very thoughtful gift (really above and beyond).  I know you guys worked hard in what has been and continues to be an extremely tough market.  I sincerely hope things pick up for everyone down there.  I promise if I ever have to move back to So Fla you are our team.  Maybe some day when they make me General Counsel of Carnival Cruise Lines or some other Fortune 500 company based in South Florida I will need your services again. Thanks again for all of your help.

We just wanted to thank everyone for all of their cooperation.  It truly has been a pleasure working with all of you and we are very excited to move in to the house.  It is the perfect house for us and we look forward to beginning our new life together in it. 

Again thank you very much!

We just wanted to thank you for the impeccable job you did regarding the sale of our home in North Lakes and the purchase of our new home in the Landings.  As you witnessed first hand, the decision for us to move within Weston was not made lightly, especially based on the fact that we lived in our North Lakes home for 11 years.  Once we decided to make the move, the decision to use the services of the JK Team was an easy one.  Your knowledge of the Weston real estate market, your attention to detail and your prompt and reliable service helped make the process go very smoothly and successfully.

Initially, with all of the available avenues on the internet to locate home listings, I did not believe I would need a real estate agent to locate a new home.  Unfortunately, the internet did not contain the latest listings, and also continued to show listings that had been sold for many months. Accordingly, the internet did not provide a valuable tool during our search for a new home.  Through this process, I truly gained an appreciation for the JK Team.  Aly was also especially helpful, spending many hours answering our questions and helping us throughout this transaction.

In addition to the assistance the JK Team provided during the purchase transaction, the service provided in connection with selling our home was probably more important.  All of the details of the sales process were handled in an expert and professional manner by the JK Team.  From marketing our property, to scheduling appointments to show our home, to negotiating the final sales price, I was very impressed with the organization and skill level exhibited by you personally, and the entire JK Team.  As a result of your efforts, we had approximately 10 potential buyers come to our home during the first few days after the property was listed, and we had a signed contract in about one week.  Even after the contract was signed, the JK Team handled the scheduling of inspections, calendaring all relevant deadlines and made sure the transaction proceeded to closing.  We are very happy with our new home, and are very thankful that you assisted us with such diligence and expertise.  Please feel free to use us as a reference any time.

We just purchased our first home in Coral Springs, FL.  Both my husband and I are in the real estate business and even though we help people close their real estate transactions every day it is never the same when you are buying YOUR own home.  I can honestly say that we were not the easiest clients to deal with and on top of that our sellers lived in another country, making the transaction that much more complex.  Jay was extremely helpful and easy going during our time of stress and was always available to speak to when needed.  Both Jay and his broker, Ernesto Vega at Realty World were very accommodating and helped us to solve several issues along the way.  We know hundreds of realtors here in South Florida and I have to say that Jay Kapit and his team are of the highest caliber!  Thanks for putting up with us Jay...

In purchasing my first home I never realized that I would come across as many problems as I did. Thank G-d I had Jason Kapit as my real estate broker. One by one he solved each and every problem and was able to get the deal done. If I did not have such strong representation, this deal would have never materialized. I cannot recommend Jason enough to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.  His calm approach and ability to solve unforeseen problems is second to none.

We originally tried to sell our Southwest Ranches home ourselves.  Most of the initial interest was from Realtors trying to acquire the listing.  When we finally decided we needed professional representation, we interviewed everyone.  Jason Kapit impressed us.  His legal and financial backgrounds were an overwhelming factor in our decision to utilize his services.  Without a doubt, he has all the tools, knowledge and professionalism necessary to undertake the task at hand.
