From our first meeting to the completion of our transaction and beyond, Joe has been completely attentive, supportive & informative in every way. He always made us feel we were his only clients and that all our needs were of the utmost importance to him.

"This man has the patience of a SAINT!! He listened to me and was very accommodating to my schedule!
"
Kathy B (Bonita Springs)

"Joe carefully listened to what we were looking for and filtered available technology to create lists of properties we might be interested in considering. He also listened to another need we had which was to find something within 4-5 days. After our introductory meeting, we were in constant touch via phone, text, or email. Joe worked seamlessly to arrange the visits we choose, adjusting his schedule to accommodate our needs. After reviewing numerous properties, an offer was made and accepted and we returned home, 1,500 miles away. Joe was absolutely critical in helping us get prepared for the closing, willingly making extraordinary efforts on our behalf in our absence. He was responsive and available at all times.

"Joe was wonderful to work with. He helped us find the perfect house in Naples quickly. Great communication, professional, and nice!"

We are so very glad Joe became our realtor because he delivered in many tremendous ways! With his most positive attitude and energy, he was willing to ultimately get a final offer on our place that was very close to what our place was worth (rather than suggesting a much lower price in order to make a quick sale). With his great care in staging the place, most professional photos and write-up about the property, and his ongoing very likable demeanor and candid observations, Joe proved himself in the final negotiation to be truly a "one of a kind" realtor. He is a hard worker with excellent communication skills, and he always kept us informed of the progress of selling our place. Many thanks to Joe for doing his very best for us and for beautifully getting the job done!

From the first time I emailed Joe, he was ON IT! Very responsive to all of my inquiries from the get-go, and believe me.......I had plenty! We live out of state but were able to peruse the internet for homes in our desired area(s) of interest. Joe was exceedingly knowledgeable about the area(s). He was open to every home that I chose. When it came time for us to travel to Florida, Joe was right there to pick us up from our hotel and transport us to all of the home showings. He pre-scheduled all the visits and we were able to view approximately 30 homes in 3 or 4 days! His itinerary was time saving and well planned. He is exceptionally educated about the area, and offered many recommendations as far as services, i.e. inspections, cleaning services, pool services, etc.
We were blessed to have found a beautiful home and recently closed. Joe helped us make connections to the title company, the insurance company, etc...which made the transition incredibly painless! We were able to complete transactions via electronic signatures, email and by telephone. We were able to complete a "walk through" of the property prior to closing. Once again, Joe transported us to the walk through, AND to closing! He is professional and dedicated. He goes the extra mile.
I cannot say enough good about Joe.
On a more personal note,........he has not just closed the home and left us. He has stayed in touch, which means a lot. Actually, I would highly recommend Joe, should I or anyone else I know have the need for a realtor.

"The very best realtor/friend when shopping and buying a home you could ask for and this is why.

I don't really write reviews online. I've just figured everyone else did so I didn't need to add my two cents. In this case Joe did so much for me and my family from looking at countless homes on multiple occasions. We even drug him back 2 and 3 times to the same home or development. He understood and set it up willingly.

And once we did finally settle on a home we were not on our own. He helped guide in the maze that is financing. Trust me you need someone and Joe picks up the phone and gets things done when it needs doing.

The truth is we would not have our wonderful home we have now without Joseph Garafolo. I highly suggest you get rid of the realtor you have now with only dollar signs in their eyes and get one that truly cares. That's Joe and that's why I wrote this.

I hope this helps you in your search whoever you are"
Clint Riedeman (Vineyards Naples)

"Our experience with Mr. Garafolo was nothing short of spectacular. Joe took the time to understand our needs and provided us with continual updates on homes that fit our criteria. He did this in a non-intrusive manner. He was always prompt and professional. I really believe Joe had our best interests at heart. Upon making an offer for a home we really loved, Joe kept us informed of all needed requirements and did way more than any other realtor I have worked within support of our efforts.

I highly recommend Joseph Garafolo to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Naples, FL area. I'm also glad to have a newfound friend who I admire."
David Contorno (Naples)

"We have purchased several properties over the years and never have we had an agent as hard-working, responsive and efficient as Joe. Top-notch!! He went above-and-beyond to close our deal. Joe responds immediately to all texts, emails and phone calls so you never have a delay in the process. Joe Garafolo is outstanding at what he does and a true professional!"
Rachel Slaven (Naples)

"Joe was wonderful to work with through our search for the perfect seasonal home away from home. He was very knowledgeable in providing information to us for areas of interest, pros, and cons, helping us find the condo that worked for our specific needs. He referred the appropriate professionals to aid in home inspections/insurance needs and overall questions to complete our process. Joe is a professional and yet personable real estate agent"
Gena Righi (Naples)

"Joe is hard-working, knowledgeable, and gets things done! He uses the latest technology, knows people, knows the market, this is the guy to use! I'm super happy with Joe, and he went WAY beyond the usual, a fantastic agent!

Andrew Ziegele (Falling Waters Davis, Naples FL)

"Joe was so patient while we looked at countless houses and made himself available on a schedule convenient for us. He staged our home beautifully and presented it in the best light for selling. The photos and video were top quality. Our he sold in a month! Thank you!"
Denise S (Fort Myers, FL)

"Joe was our agent for both the buying of a new house and selling of our old. He was professional, detail-oriented, and pleasant to work with. He constantly went out of his way to make it easy for our purchase and sale. He never complained when we kept wanting to see more houses! When he listed our house, he came and put some nice touches to help it sell. And it sold after only about 3-4 showings. We were very pleased and will use him again should we decide to move again."
Mark S (Fort Myers, FL)

"Joe is an excellent agent. He has great communication and is very informed about the communities"
Christopher Balgobin (Naples, FL)
