Why us, why not us?
Experience
Since 2004, the 2 of us have sold hundreds of homes next to Disney World, representing buyers and sellers all ending with positive results.
Marketing
The difference between us and other agencies, we market our listings to sell, not ourselves to obtain listings. We don't take pictures with our phones, we hire professionals to do it right.
International Real Estate
If you are from another Country and you choose an inexperienced Realtor to help you buy or sell your existing home in Orlando, it could cost you thousands of dollars and delays. Not all Real Estate transactions are the same, we have the experience foreign nationals need to not be penalized by the US IRS.
Track Record
Our new homeowners and home sellers love us, and we have the testimonials to prove it
Technology
We use smart technology to get the best real estate results, not what's trending to be cool to cellar dwellers. It's your home or your future home and we take that very serious.
Communication
A real estate transaction can be complex, it has many time lines that need to be met or the contract can fall apart & money lost. We'll walk you through the process step by step and make sure the other side is doing what they need to do to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Peer Respect
A Real Estate transaction requires one side to be able to work with the other side effectively, the other side knows we have the experience and are serious Realtors.
Strong Web & Local Presence
We're on the 1st page on web search engines "Realtors near Disney" and several other search terms for the world to find us. Our local Billboards, Signage & Wrapped Vehicles can be seen by all who live near or visit Disney.
Committed To You
We love what we do, and it shows when you see us work. Whether you are being shown homes to buy with Alan, or selling your home with Jane, you'll be treated as priority #1 from start to finish.
Disney World
With over 82 communities, resorts and towns located within 25 minutes from Walt Disney World, we know we can find the right home for you. If it’s quiet you are looking for, we know the quiet neighborhoods, if you like busy, we suggest seeing a few resorts to see if one fits and if you like posh, we sell where the pro-athletes and stars live.
What does Peter Parker tell people at Universal Studios Orlando what he does for a living? Web designer.

Let us be your resort realtor
not only are the other realtors' bad drivers,
they don’t know the Resorts like we do, out of 40+ Resorts, we only recommend 18, it might be wise to ask us why before you purchase
Selling?
A full-time all-in agent or a part-time sometimes agent for the same cost to sell?
in the end, it's your choice, your money.
sHE'S A STRAIGHT-TALKING AGENT
AN EXPERT NEAR DISNEY
Jane is our full-time Florida Listing Agent, since 2004, successfully closing on hundreds of homes near Disney—all on time and without complications. Before entering the real estate industry, she became the youngest General Manager of an Acura dealership in New Hampshire. She then transitioned into corporate software sales, quickly rising through the ranks to become the Business Account Manager for all of New England and Upstate New York at FileMaker, a subsidiary of Apple.
Her diverse, high-pressure professional background equipped her with the adaptability, negotiation skills, and strategic mindset needed to excel in real estate. She absolutely loves bringing her home sellers to the closing table to see their smiles and relief. When you meet her, you’ll immediately recognize the **expertise, professionalism and dedication she brings to the table. Her proposed commission structure aligns exactly with his.
hE'S A SMOOTH-TALKING AGENT
AN EXPERT ANYWHERE
He works part-time in real estate sales, drives for Uber on weekdays, and waits tables on weekends to make ends meet. Despite his side gigs, according to Homes.com and Zillow.com he’s sold a million homes since 2021—a number that’s quite impressive to Jane. If you list your home to sell with him, it doesn’t matter what price you set it at—”he’ll sell it!” If you’re willing to tidy up while he is there, he’ll snap a few photos on his phone and list your home for the world to see the very next Day—no professional photography required. He starts conversations with “Don’t worry about it,” “Yes, yes,” or “No problem,” always quick to agree with just about anything you say. He compliments your shoes, tells a few jokes but avoids questions on how he markets and how many homes he sold in your area. Though he’s a hard worker, his level of expertise and dedication to real estate doesn’t compare to a full-time all-in realtor. His proposed commission structure is the same as hers.

LISTING AGENT TO SELLER
Pssst..the home buyer across the table looks a little stressed:
He thought he knew it all:
He thought he was going to save money on his own:
He called listing agents from signs instead of a buyer’s agent:
He called listing agents from Zillow, realtor.com and redfin:
He made low verbal offers on properties that were already priced to sell:
He lost out on the 1 home he truly wanted to be his forever home because the sellers were insulted.
He looked at several other houses on several different Days with several different listing agents:
For some reason he was thinking listing agents work for buyers:
He didn’t understand why each listing agent told him they’ll let the seller know verbally, not wanting to write it up on his low offers:
He didn’t understand why none of the listing agents got back to him:
Out of frustration and time lost, he settled on a house, not his favorite but your house:
I told him as instructed you were not going to repair anything:
I didn’t recommend a good home inspector to him:
So, without guidance he settled for a less expensive home inspector thinking they were all the same:
He thought he could choose the title company for the closing:
He didn’t understand why the home he chose didn’t appraise, after all he got an zestimate from Zillow for your home:
He didn’t understand why he couldn’t cancel the contract without losing his $5k escrow deposit when the timetable for inspection results passed and the inspection report stated the A/C needed to be replaced:
He didn’t understand why he couldn’t cancel the contract without losing his $5k deposit when he asked to cancel after the appraisal contingency time period passed and the appraised value came in $17k less than the agreed price:
He didn’t understand that he could have negotiated the agreed price to the lower appraised value if he negotiated before the appraisal contingency time period ran out:
He didn’t realize if he negotiated the price to the appraised value before the appraisal contingency time period written in the contract ran out and you didn’t agree he could have cancelled the contract and retain his $5k deposit.
He didn’t realize that the title company put the $2,452 for title insurance on his side to pay by mistake instead of where it should have been on the seller’s side (your side) at closing. I would have told him, but I work for you.
He didn’t realize the community’s HOA he was buying into won’t allow him to keep his 4 dogs because they have a 2-dog limit.
He didn’t realize the community’s HOA he was buying into won’t allow him to paint the house any color that’s not on the HOA’s color chart.
He didn’t realize the home he is buying is in a flood zone where he needs flood insurance that will cost him a lot more for coverage.
He didn’t realize the lender he’s getting the mortgage from, won’t give him the mortgage unless he proves he has all of the necessary insurance including flood in place before taking ownership.
He didn’t realize that he’s paying a higher insurance rate because the roof is over 15 years old even though it is in good condition according to his discount inspector.
He didn’t realize that he’s paying a higher insurance rate because the water heater is over 12 years old even though it is in good running condition with no leaks according to his discount inspector.
As you can see looking across the closing table, he looks shocked as he looks at his ALTA because there are pre-pays on it he obviously didn’t expect, like the 6 months of insurance paid in advance today, like the 3 months of HOA dues paid in advance today and the HOA initiation fee to be paid today:
He didn’t truly realize what appraised value meant vs agreed price, because the appraised value was $17k less than the agreed price he will have to pay the $17k out of pocket today at closing. His mortgage company will only pay the % of the appraised value, not the agreed price.
Wow, this poor buyer across the table looks so much more stressed now than what he did walking into this closing:
I feel bad, but he called me “the listing agent” as instructed by his AI, not a buyer’s agent.
