Testimonials

Wayne is a fantastic agent. He is very smart about the market, aware of what is happening and knows how to get things done. We had a great experience.

Wayne was excellent from start to finish. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

AMK

Wayne is the best. The service and advise from Wayne Taylor was exceptional and was the main reason we chose to use this firm. Great experience thanks to Wayne.

Wayne was very professional, helpful, and made the entire process easy and painless. In addition his communication was excellent which made us very comfortable.

Wayne has been an efficient and flexible agent to deal with on this property with complex ownership and residency. He was always cheerful and had our best interests in mind. We will be sure to use Wayne and his lovely wife Jennifer if the need ever arises.

Wayne has expert knowledge in the Bonita Springs / Naples / Fort Myers corridor. He was great to work with and was very accessible and responsive. I would highly recommend Wayne.

Great job.

Knowledgeable and listened to my needs.

Wayne is professional, efficient, friendly and very effective. He has a relaxing affect on the seller and buyer, and pulls together the relevant information for a decision made with facts. Great experience and Wayne is great to work with.

Wayne is a great real estate person. This is the second time we have used him to buy and sell a home and he never lets you down. He works hard to sell your house and always is prompt to reply to any issues or questions. He went above and beyond to find us a temporary rental because our new condo was not available yet when we closed on our house. We will recommend him to our friends who are in the market for housing.

Thorough and responsive. I would certainly recommend Wayne to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Wayne was amazing. I would strongly recommend him as a realtor if you are selling your home.

Wayne is an exceptional agent. He is efficient, effective, personable, and professional. Wayne kept in touch every step of the way through a fairly lengthy sales process. He answered all questions in a timely manner and handled a difficult divorce situation with care and professionalism. I am pleased to give him an excellent rating and strongly recommend his services. Wayne made the difference.

Excellent! Wayne is a true professional and gentleman.

Wayne is an exceptional communicator which makes him a good negotiator between buyer and seller..... Wayne is very thorough and has a very pleasant personality. He is quick to grasp the situation and follows through to the closing with his client.

Wayne Taylor was excellent to work with. He was very responsive to all of our needs and keep us well informed as we navigated through the experience of buying our home.

Wayne was fantastic. Selling our home in such a difficult market was accomplished because of Wayne. His honesty, his forthrightness, and his work ethic was the best I have ever dealt with given the now 14 homes I have lived in during my life. Wayne is truly a stellar agent.

When your house sells faster than you expected and at the top of the price range you were hoping for, you have to say your realtor did an outstanding job. Add to that getting the sale to closing when the seller contracted COVID-19 just weeks before the closing date, you go from outstanding to whatever is higher. Not possible to expect more.

JM & NM

Wayne was outstanding to work with. He went above and beyond in all aspects of my transaction. In looking for a house he took me to many properties including ones that weren’t on the market yet. When it came time to decide, he encouraged me to pick the property that was best suited for me not the most expensive one. As we worked through to closing, he was responsive to all requests immediately and had many resources that made the transaction easy. From contract to closing took 21 days.

Wayne Taylor was very helpful every step along the way. He was able to answer our many questions along the way. We were able to buy the home we wanted and he even brought us a good supply of boxes to help us prepare for the move.

MWY

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Wayne Taylor as my realtor. This past year I have sold three homes in three different states with three different realtors. I only wish Wayne could have been my realtor for all three sales because he was head and shoulders above the other two. From the very beginning he explained every detail of his process clearly, offered excellent advice, answered every question along the way almost immediately, was on top of every detail, and was a professional, calming , and caring presence throughout all the ups and downs of my house sale. Even after my house was under agreement, his handling of the inspection process was flawless. Truly, from beginning to end, Wayne made me feel as if I were his only client. He deserves the highest praise, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a truly professional realtor.

I just wanted to inform any future home buyers who may be considering Mr. Wayne Taylor that he would be an amazing choice. I was lucky enough to find Wayne through a friend. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. I did not live in the area so I had to count on Wayne to take care of many issues that arise from being over 200 miles away. He is a very kind and gracious person and was able to cover for me in so many ways. Doing so with a wonderful attitude. You will never regret giving Wayne your business. I could not recommend him more highly.

Wayne did a great job as our personal "consiglieri”... our "trusted advisor" who helped to guide us through our most important purchase. Our home search included a long list of very specific required features. Wayne provided extensive research to help us to "see" what we were looking for. Throughout our home selection and negotiation process, Wayne was always available and positively supporting. Thanks Wayne for helping us to find our forever home.

Smooth transaction with such dedication! I highly recommend Wayne for any real estate transaction.

Being in the real estate business for over 30 years I have dealt with many different agents. I have to say Wayne is the best all around but especially in attention to detail to insure the sale goes through on time and with no snags. I would not hesitate in using him again.

We were fortunate to have worked with Wayne to find our new home in Florida. He is professional and highly efficient, and didn’t waste your time with homes that did not meet our criteria. Our new home is exactly what we were looking for, even to the correct color tiled roof! Thank you Wayne for your guidance and assistance.

If he was as good a golfer as he is a realtor, his handicap would be zero.

Wayne Taylor not only promised but delivered. After many agents failed to bring on offer, Wayne got me the offer I needed to sell my home. Thanks Wayne!

We asked Wayne to list our home about a year and a half ago. We knew that he was selling quite a few houses in our area, and also knew he and his wife socially. Wayne's understated style should not be underestimated. He helped us (re)stage and took it from there. Lo and behold! He held open houses and continually brought in potential buyers. It sold! Lastly, Wayne pays attention to many details around planning the closing. Other people we know who used Wayne's services were also pleased that he facilitated utilities and other tasks that sometimes 'surprise' new homeowners. He is there for you from the beginning until you are settled. He really does go above and beyond to ensure it is a positive experience for you. Highly recommend him. And he is a really nice man as well!

Wayne flawlessly executed his brilliant marketing campaign to sell our home, and was always there when we needed him. Within four months, he took us from signing the Listing through Closing on the property. We are so happy with the choice we made to appoint Wayne as our Listing Agent.

We met Wayne Taylor at an open house he was hosting when we first started looking to buy a home in Estero. He was very helpful in getting us to understand the differences between communities, pointing out things we didn't even know to look for. Once we decided on a community, Wayne was able to introduce us to some of the social amenities that were available as well as experience the golf facilities. He was tireless in joining us on our quest to find the perfect house for us. And then he was always able to answer our questions about the closing process. You won't go wrong if you choose Wayne Taylor to be your agent.

Wayne is a thorough, communicative and savvy professional who managed to achieve a great result for us; our desired sale price and in the timeframe we required. He lead us through the process with an understanding of what we needed and true knowledge of the realities of today’s market.

Wayne helped me find a wonderful condo in Shadow Wood in the very short time I had to make a selection. His follow up to questions I had after I moved in was excellent.

Wayne understood what we were looking for in a home and we got just what we wanted! He was great with various aspects to our move and helped us find a rental when necessary.

Wayne Taylor was a very organized, patient, and very attentive to our needs and was always there to handle any special needs that happened. We really appreciate all he did for our family!!

KR and SK

We could not have asked for a better experience selling my mom's home. Wayne went above and beyond to market the home and engage perspective buyers in a tough market. His professionalism and commitment were second-to-none.

Leaves no stone unturned, communicates!

Wayne is so knowledgeable and so easy to work with! This real estate purchase went so smoothly. And we were out of town. Thank you Wayne!
