I recently sold a condo in Tampa Florida through Engel & Volkers. I was rewarded by them giving me the best agent I could have hoped for, Shane Vanderson. Shane went above and beyond real estate duties. His knowledge guided me through warranty processes, navigate through non serious buyers and those who showed more interest in my unit. He even went as far as shopping for replacement filters for my HVAC system, and installed them. At no cost to me. He's a gem of an agent. I would highly recommend him, with hesitation.
