GUY PERFORMED ABOVE AND BEYOND…EXCEPTIONAL!

Starting with the sourcing of a property through the closing Guy provided exceptional service, communication and comfort. He is experienced, professional, and committed to every aspect of the process without hesitation paired with his team of vendors and support. We could not have asked for more from Guy who was honorable, ethical, wise, and most importantly for us; patient! We thank him and could not be more secure in recommending him to represent any buyer or seller. Assuredly anyone working with him is in good hands!

Looking for a vacation/retirement home and found some of Guy's listings and called for an appointment for when we'd be in the area and we even explained that we weren't ready to buy until the following year. Guy was extremely responsive, very personable and not at all pushy. He stayed within our price range, showed us many neighborhoods we weren't even aware of, and listened to what we wanted. Is a particular style house or neighborhood didn't end up to our liking, he re-routed his list to find just what we liked. He took us around the neighborhoods in the entire chain of lakes area so we could get a feel of what we would like. He showed us boat ramps, lake activities, parks and places to shop. It was like having a friend in the area showing you around. We are going back in about 5 weeks to do some final looking and wouldn't think of asking anyone else to help us, and i have already recommended him to another family member when she is ready to relocate their too.

Guy is simply awesome!

BEFORE WE MET GUY:We had just experienced a very bad 1st time home buyers, complete process, 3-4 weeks prior. We LOST the opportunity to use USDA funding and receiving the $8,000 first time home buyers tax credit. At the time, our unseasoned Realtor, did not have the appropriate negotiating skills to deal with foreclosure home banks.

Then we met Guy Shipley. He found us homes in our price range, and he was very honest with us about how to go about process. He did NOT make us feel uncomfortable or that he was trying to lie to us about anything, during the entire process. One definitely knows, when one is dealing with an intelligent, qualified, skillful Realtor. This time around we found a home that was 2x's the house we had lost in the prior deal, for around the same price. Guy directed us to a well seasoned loan officer, who was able to help make our dream come true.

We are extremely happy, and we have Guy Shipley & our loan officer to thank for that. We would refer Guy Shipley to anyone that is looking for a home. Thank you soo much for being there for us, when we really needed it the most.

Guy was very professional in his dealings with us. He listened to our desires for our new home and presented us with homes that met our guidelines. He kept us informed as our purchase progressed through closing. Even if there was no new activity occurring, we we told that also. That was very important to us and we didn't feel forgotten.

We have our 'old' residence listed with Guy and know that he will come through for us with a sale, even in this tough market.

Guy Shipley is the most ethical real estate agent I have ever daelt with. Beyond hia professionalism, I found him to be available when I needed him, even when I knew he had other responsibilities. He did not pass over others to assist me, but did get back to me in a very timely manner and with the answers I needed--not necessarily what I wanted, but what was real. Thanks to Mr. Shipley, we bought the property at a fair price and with limited hassel.

Mr Shipley was the best all around realtor I have delt with in 30 years.
He was very patient, upfront and creative.
We bought the house of our dreams without the hazzles we encounter in the past with the purchase or selling process. he handled the transaction like a true professional.
Since then he has sold a lot to a referral we sent him, they are also equally impressed by him.
He lives in our community and every resident and neighbor has only good things to say about him inthe year we have lived here now.
100% of what he told us about Deer Island was accurate. He will not dissappoint.
I have been in sales all my life, from Wall Street to owning my own service business, he ranks for me with some of the best sales persons I have ever met.
He is most pleasant and yet all business. It's a rare combination. Most easy going sales people come short in performance and most top salespeople are rather rude.
Guy is a genuine individual with a true passion for what he does.
My wife and I would recommend him to anybody looking for a hard working realtor.
And we now consider a good friend.

Guy is a very dedicated and resourceful agent. He listened to what we were interested in purchasing and showed us listings that were very appropriate. We worked with Guy for over a year as we are not local to the area and he always emailed listings that he thought would be of interest, responded quickly to inquires and was fun to be with when we looked at property. He really did his best to help us and his negotiating skills were superb. I would use Guy again without hesitation. He's a great agent!

~Pauline J

Guy did a great job for us. His knowledge of the area, along with how and when homes were built helped us to zero in on our beautiful new home in Royal Harbor very quickly.
He was quick to respond to my many, many questions. We haven't owned a home in about 7 years, and never in Florida, so he was very helpful in helping us to understand the peculiarities of the Florida market and regulations.
Though I never plan to move again, if I did, I would certainly use Guy.

Mr. Shipley is a real professional. However, he is also a personable agent responding to every detail required for a smooth and satisfactory search and/or contract. We were quite happy with all the help he furnished in obtaining us a home in Florida. We knew nothing about Florida, the Lake/Sumpter County area and Mr. Shipley had answers to all our questions; he is a very knowledgeable and kind person, never condescending. We would recommend Mr. Shipley to any and all persons or companies looking for real estate, rentals, advice or merely a service. He becomes a friend and follows up on details whenever needed.

Guy had told me that it was out of his area but he still would love to help us.Everything went well. he made time to show us the unit and write the contract and stayed right on top of the negotiations even though the seller was not that motivated.Any questions and concerns that we had were answered promptly. He was very accommodating and it was a great transactionThank you again Guy

We had an incredible pleasant experience working with Guy toward the purchase of our home in Florida. Guy was the key factor in the acquisition of our new house, we relied entirely in Mr. Shipley local knowledge for selecting the location, and we even took advantage of his negotiation skills to get valuable saving advises. Another of Mr. Shipley's highly appreciated qualities is his communication skill. All calls and e-mails were answered in a time effective manner and he always dedicated enough time to clarify doubts and inquiries. The process of buying a house in Florida, while residing in New York, could have being a complicated experience, but thanks to Guy the process was smooth and short in time. Guy is a truly professional, reliable and trustworthy Real Estate Agent.Thank you Guy,Ray and Luz

Guy Shipley is an exceptional Real Estate agent! Very professional, knowledgeable, and willing to go the "extra-mile" to help you in the home buying process. Most importantly, you can rest assured that Guy will get the job done well, quickly and professionally. I don't think my buying experience would have been so smooth without Guy.

We placed our home in Guy's hands to see what the market would provide thinking we would have time to look for our final home. He sold it within 10 days at the price we wanted!

Our realtor, Guy Shipley was a pleasure to work with. He expertly helped us through the entire process of purchasing our new home, without pressuring us in the least. I would not hesitate at all to recommend him to anyone. His guidance was invaluable throughout the entire process of finding, purchasing, and getting settled into our new home. I would give him 5 stars plus in every area and not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home. He made the experience a pleasure from start to finish.

~Davis

We live out of state and far from the lake home we were selling. We relied heavily on Guy's expertise to sell our house and close the deal. He managed everything in an effort to keep things easy for us. When issues came up, he took care of them and negotiated to save us time and money. He was responsive, courteous and professional. Highly recommended.

~Jeff K

~Michelle K

Guy came to the initial interview with a comprehensive evaluation, professional presentation and a very positive proposal. His expertise and knowledge of real estate and the area in general gained us a fast sale of our house and for the asking price. It was literally on the market 3 days and we were under contract. The process from list to close was less than 6 weeks, it was an amazing experience to say the least. We would most definitely recommend Guy Shipley and his team to anyone wanting an honest and personable realtor to represent them.
