~ TESTIMONIALS ~
Imoved to Gainesville from out of state which can be a daunting process but Betsy made it seem like I was moving down the street. One Friday evening when I decided to make a last minute trip to Gainesville to look at homes, she cancelled her dinner plans to drive me around. This was just one of the many experiences I had while working with Betsy. She handled every detail with a professional and friendly attitude that made it as pleasant an experience as it could possibly have been. When I get ready to buy or sell again, I will be calling Betsy and I recommend that everyone else do the same.

I am so thankful that my husband and I chose to use Betsy as our agent when purchasing our home. Since I am a designer and architectural historian, the right home had to meet some challenging and specific criteria. She quickly found our dream home , but we realized we weren't the only buyers interested in the house. While I was distraught by the possibility of not getting the house, Betsy calmed our fears and kept us informed at every step. Betsy strategically developed an offer that put us ahead of the other buyers. When she called to tell us we got the house, I couldn't have been happier.

When my wife decided to go back to school we needed to downsize. I
interviewed 4 other agents from larger firms and decided to go with
Jessica & Andy because of all the marketing they do and the amount of
buyers they represent. Jessica called the next day with a buyer that
wanted to see the house and the offered 98% of asking price and we
SOLD before we even made it on the market. Jessica also assisted us
in finding a smaller home in our neighborhood that fit our budget
and was able to effectively negotiate us in the home in time to
close on our house. We got a great deal in a very limited time frame.

I told Freddy Pearson that my house could be his first sale. He put the sign up at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and had a cash offer by 3:00 that day. We closed the following Thursday. He brought me a nice gift for using their company. He has also been by to see the folks who bought it to see if he could help them. Freddy Pearson loves his job and is working hard for his company.

Ken was an exceptional agent. He is a go-getter and really made an effort to sell the home by listing, the home on T.V., website, and created a very inviting brochure. He promtly returned any phone calls, was a strong negotiator, and was always enthusiastic.

We interviewed at least six real estate agents with a goo track record for selling houses in the SW part of Gainesville. When we met Betsy Pepine we knew we had the right agent. She was professional, knowledgeable about Cambridge Forest and surrounding areas, and understood well what it took to move a property in the current housing market. Her marketing was also second to none. Needless to say, she sold our house in about one month. Thank you Betsy!

I always felt your kindness and warmth.There are some friends of mine who had already purchased their homes before me, they even envied me because of your great services !!!

Betsy not only helped us find the perfect home, but also helped in our transition from North Carolina to Gainesville, Florida. She provided information about the schools, community services, and recreational activities. Betsy took the time to find out our interests and planned accordingly. We felt we had a friend in addition to a realtor. We hope to continue working with her for any future real estate needs.

Ken & Angela Cornell proved to both my wife & myself that for sale by owner is not always the best way to sell a house. Their intense approach to selling was obvious here as they sold our house in less than the Gainesville average. Both Ken & Angela went above and beyond to make sure everything was being done to sell our house. Professional,committed, and successful are all words that come to mind reguarding both Ken & Angela. Job well done !!!

With the professional help of Betsy Pepine, I was able to sell my house in only a few short days. Betsy was not only knowledgeable about the real estate market, but gave me her personal opinion and ideas on ways to market my home. When looking to buy a new home, Betsy kept me well informed of new listings and was always available to show me homes. I would highly recommend Betsy Pepine from Cornell and Associates. She got the job done quickly and professionally!

We are extremely satisfied with our home/buying experience and thank our lucky stars we were introduced to Ken & Angela Cornell. Their experience, tenacity, and wisdom made all the difference in us landing a wonderful home.Not only did Ken & Angela help us work out a deal with the owner, Ken worked directly with the lender to obtain optimal financing.

We interviewed a few realtors who had brought prospective buyers to our house when it was as a FSBO. Betsy, by far, seemed the most enthusiastic, professional, ethical and energetic. She explained how she marketed homes and we chose her without hesitation. We felt her approach was very aggressive. She immediately arranged professional photos of the house for TV and Internet promotion. She prepared mailers and sent them out to the top Gainesville realtors. A sign was placed in our yard the same day and our home was advertised in local newspapers and magazines. She arranged our first open house within two weeks and a second open house two weeks later. The first open house produced a contract and the second open house produced a separate full-price contract! Ultimately, we sold the house within 30 days of our listing. We highly recommend Betsy Pepine to anyone who may be in the market of buying or selling a home.
