About Me > Testimonials
"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."

"Betsy was terrific! She was always eager to go the extra mile and never tried to talk me into something I had no interest in. She was also very efficient with time use....which is real important to many of us. And Betsy was always upbeat, smiling, friendly....in what is always a stressful time for house hunters. She deserves many applauds....and I have recommended her to several people I have come in contact with."

"We interviewed at least six real estate agents with a good 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!"

"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."

"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 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."
