Jorge & Sofia

The service, expertise, professionalism and personal interaction skills, was excellent and unsurpassed! It could not have been any better and met every expectation I had!

Robert B VanderWilt

Kelly was a top notch professional. Any questions problems  or concerns we had were promptly answered.. She traveled anytime and anywhere we asked. Sold us a house in a 3 day visit to the area.

John & Connie Gillum

We could not have had a more knowledgeable realtor. Kelly answered my every call or text within minutes. Kelly was a joy to work with. She did all the work we just doc signed. It was a very easy move.

Richard and Becky

A friend introduced Kelly Henderson to me. On our initial visit, I was very comfortable with her right away. With several problems I had with my mortgage company she called to check on me several times reassuring me it would all work out, which it did. She was very efficient and caring. I like her a lot!

Jacqueline D Goczeski

Very efficient & kept me updated during the process for closing


So happy & satisfied while working with Melinda for the selling of my Condo in Punta Gorda Florida. She kept me updated & helped me through negotiations of the sale.
Helped me with computer signing for the contract. Very satisfied with her conduction of my sale.  Would definitely recommend her to all my friends as an Agent who gets
things moving along for the closure.


Thank you
Cynthia J. Edwards.

Melinda is wonderful to work with! She found me wonderful properties to look at, made suggestions on the offer process which saved me money and even helped me get quotes for services at my new home! Highly recommend Melinda to anyone looking for a property in SW Florida. You won’t be disappointed! She is just a wonderful and kind person. Thank you
Lesli Suttner

Simply outstanding!

Melinda was more than wonderful. I told her my wants and what I was looking for and she nailed it. Came up with options that were all excellent! I did not have to do anything. She met me at the lots with a tape measure and aerial photos! The seller was in UK which made the closing a bit challenging. But not for me, she handled all with no surprises or glitches. Best realtor experience I have ever had in over 20 purchases in the last 10 years. She is my go to realtor in the SWFL area from now on! Always smiling too btw. 12 out of 10 rating.

So wonderful!  Always available for assistance, suggestions and information. Tireless in their service to their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I’m thankful that I chose them as my agents.

Ernestine J Ring

Kelly H is amazing and so attentive as if each client is her first priority. She is a gift as a friend and realtor, she was made for this! So thankful I had her in my corner, moving is not easy but she made it easier, for sure.

Karen E Murano

Kelly worked with us each step of the way on our real estate purchase. From our initial contact through final closing, Kelly provided excellent guidance and advice. Kelly took the time to fully understand our requirements and found many properties for us to view within our price range. Kelly knows the Fort Myers real estate market well and we benefited greatly from this knowledge.

Robert & Joyce Hand

Kelly was simply amazing and I'm so lucky to have worked with her!

Alexander I. Brown

I don't know if I can say enough!!

I don't know if we can say enough about Melinda and how she helped make our dream of owning a place in Florida come true. We of course are from out of state and how she worked with us on the one occasion when we could be there was just wonderful. And when we couldn't be there she met with my sister and nephew and face timed us to show us the property - which was the one we purchased. I just can't say enough on how great she was at keeping in contact with us and explaining the process to us and making sure we weren't missing something that would hold up our closing. It was truely a great experience working with Melinda and Kelly.

Theresa & Jonney Hicks

We were able to look at several units.  My wife and I are both in are 70’s we needed a house or villa with very few steps. Melinda had found us a villa in a quiet neighborhood that fit our needs and lifestyle we were looking for. She was very professional and helpful in our journey to get into the area we wanted. If we could rate our experience with Melinda she would be a 10 of 10.

Tom & Marcia Koppers

Excellent Agent - From the very first call we made to Melinda and through closing we found her to be very responsive. She listened to what we were looking for in a home and supported us with insight to neighborhoods and local amenities. We really felt like priority clients throughout the process. She kept us apprised of the progress and coordinated well with the seller's agent and the title company. We highly recommend working with Melinda!

Melinda led me through the entire buying experience with professionalism, patience and market knowledge. Melinda was on top of all aspects of the process and kept me updated regularly.  I highly recommend Melinda Johnson

Steve Johnson

Extremely Helpful & Professional
Melinda Johnson was very knowledgeable of the market areas that we were looking in – she understood what we were looking for and didn’t try and push us into a different Price Point. She was very accommodating on off hours - making sure that we had the information that we needed in a timely fashion. We have used many realtors in the past all over the United States - Melinda is at the top of our list for our future investments.

Best agent in town!
Melinda is the best when it comes to communication. Called her late at night on a weekend and she always answers the phone. Very responsive and very quick to answer any questions and get things done.  We were able to close on the lot quickly and had no issues. This is our second time using Melinda as our Agent and we will continue to do so in the future!
