Galleria International Realty

Nice place

I read one of the posts below referencing Barbi Veitch as a terrible Realtor, and as the agent on the opposite end of the transaction noted, it is my professional opinion that Barbi is an outstanding Realtor with the highest level of integrity and work ethic. I found Barbi to be hard-​working, honest, cooperative and focused on the transaction, trying to address and alleviate any issues that we encountered along the way. I certainly feel 100% comfortable recommending her to any buyer or seller. Unfortunately in this business, like any, we can’t please everyone no matter how hard we try.

Truly the worst realtor experience we have ever had! Barbi Veitch is NOT a realtor I would recommend to a friend, family member, total stranger or even someone I did not like! We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years. We have never had an experience like this. Unfortunately, we listened to her tell us «trust me. I’ve been in the real estate field for a long time. I’m the professional. This is south Florida, it’s different here» We worked with her on a short term rental deal, she suggested we lie about the number (and size) of animals we have to better our chances of getting the property. We were uncomfortable with this and told her we couldn’t do it. That if we didn’t get the rental because we had 4 dogs then it wasn’t meant to be. This made us very uncomfortable but we were already knee deep in a home purchase and didn’t feel like we had any other option but to continue with her. During the deal for a property we were purchasing she assured us, repeatedly, that the appraiser would see and notate the roof issues and not to worry, to trust her, she’s the professional. The appraiser did not notate anything about the roof. She guaranteed us that our property would make money and that even if the roof was an issue we would make the money up in no time. The list goes on and on. We obviously had concerns about what we were being told and contacted her broker — twice. We received no response. When we tried to talk with Barbi after the closing about our concerns, she turned around & walked away saying she wasn’t doing anything, her job was done and she wasn’t going to talk with us. This made us feel like she did what she had to do to get her commission check and then basically didn’t care after that. The lack of a response from either of her brokers did not help matters. Sadly, with issues of non-​disclosure after the closing we didn’t even feel like we could contact her to help correct the issues. Thankfully, we ended up handling it successfully ourselves but it took some time and wasn’t something we should have had to do ourselves. This is something your realtor should help with. A realtor who physically walks away from her client when they ask a question? No thanks. We most certainly will not be using her again and will not be recommending her to anyone who’s looking for a realtor.

Best realtor we’ve ever worked with, and we’ve worked with many. Contact Sandra Tagliamonte only if you are serious about selling or finding and buying, a home. If what you are looking for exists, this woman will find it. Sandy is relentless yet non-​pushy, well organized, and she gets it without having to be repetitively told what you are and aren’t looking for. Selling, finding or buying a home can be both frustrating and fatiguing, especially if you have to buy or sell promptly. We think fast and act fast, and thanks to Sandy, we were able to see over twenty five homes in three days. By day seven, she had found us a home that both the buyer and seller felt they had gotten a great deal. A true pleasure to do business with, we would definitely recommend and work with her again.
