As empty nesters, twelve years ago my husband and I decided to explore an opportunity for a change in our lives. We were not really thinking of a transfer from our jobs away from our country, our house, and the exercise of our own professions. We wanted to get a house closer to our grandchildren; and for us Orlando was a priority. But who could we consult? We needed a person that could understand our needs: to recognize that we were not sure about moving, that were looking for a house large enough to accommodate all the family and also close enough to everything we needed. We needed a professional with knowledge and good disposition, friendly, responsible, honest, competent, with lots of patience and experience. It was no easy task to understand two professionals in different fields and different personalities.
That was was when we met Lourdes Malave. She took time off in a busy Christmas season, and showed us a large number of properties.
Our first offer for a house did not go through, but she helped us not despair. We needed to go back to work, but she kept in touch and called us with an alternative that we accepted without visiting the property! That is how much we relied on her opinion and knowledge. And this is our HOME now! It has all we needed and were looking for ( even things that we did not know then!).
But Lourdes did not stop there: she helped us look for the best financial alternative, the best insurance and many other services that we needed.
It is admired her ability to listen and to negotiate. Or course, she has a network of connections! Her tenacity, integrity, honesty and interest in details are compliments of a great realtor that we recommend.
