Was concerned about the purchasing process but Mercedes made the process go much smoother than expected. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in otow. She cares about her clients.

Been here year. Colen and Co. Absolutely do not care. Maintenance is a joke. On top of thst, I have never met so many grumpy, plain mean and rude people. Yes, their are some nice people. But wow. I was shocked. Made a mistake. Need to rethink where I want to be. I do not think this is truly the place to be.

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate experience. From the very beginning, Mercedes Hernandez, went above and beyond to truly understand what “home” meant to us—not just our budget or checklist, but the feeling we were searching for at “On Top of the World” Community. Mercedes’ patience, knowledge, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy.<br><br>She was always available to answer questions, offer honest guidance, and advocate for us every step of the way. It never felt like we were just another transaction—we genuinely felt cared for and supported. Her attention to detail and commitment ultimately led us to our forever home, and we are so grateful.<br><br>If you’re looking for someone who is professional, responsive, and truly invested in your happiness, we wholeheartedly recommend Mercedes Hernandez. This was more than a home purchase—it was a life milestone.

We've been in the home for 1 month. Very happy with the home quality and also the service, both before and after the sale and also before and after the closing. Kudos to Mercedes and to Shane.
