Dear Elena, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your outstanding work in handling the recent sale of our residence at 2016 Fisher Island Drive. From start to finish, your professionalism, attention to detail and deep understanding of the Fisher Island market were evident at every stage of the process. Selling a home - especially ours, after 21 years - can be an emotional and complex journey, but your guidance and responsible handling of each step made all the difference. Your ability to navigate challenges and keep everything on track was truly impressive. More than anything, we appreciated how personally invested you were in the process. It was clear that you cared about getting the best possible outcome for us, not just in terms of price, but also in ensuring the experience was smooth and respectful of our needs. Thanks again, Elena, for your hard work, expertise and dedication. It was a pleasure working with you and we would recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell on Fisher island.

When I. recently searched for a real estate agent to represent me with the sale of my Fisher Island unit 7764 I was hoping to find the best. I am happy to say that I did. Elena Bluntzcr's professionalism and knowledge of the market is unmatched in her field. I firmly believe that nobody else could have gotten nte the price for my property that Elena did. Her outstanding marketing of my property and negotiation expertise resulted in a successful side in only a month and a half after we listed our unit with her. Elena was able to find a qualified buyer who closed 15 days from contract at the highest price per square foot paid on Fisher - $8.5 Million cash. I have been a developer. broker and investor in real estate in the Chicago area building and selling luxury propenics for over 45 years and I must say that wilh Elena handling the listing and sale of my unit it was one of the smoothest real estate transactions I have ever been involved in. I have already recommended her services to all my friends and acquaintances. As for myself, I run relieved 10 have found a rcaltor that maintains the highest standards in the business and as a result I continue calling on her ai:d her team for my real estate ventures. I would recommend Elena to anyone who is looking for a consummate professional in the real estate industry to list and sell their property.

My name is Kevin O'Brien. I woke up this morning the happy Seller of a condominium on Fisher Island in Miami. Yesterday, after nine grueling months, in the worst market I have ever seen, Elena Bluntzer was kind enough to dispose of it for me. By way of introduction, my company owns and manages two thousand apartment units. I have been in real estate all of my business life. As a Realtor, Broker, Property Manager, General Contractor, General Partner, Managing Member, Investor and Owner I've spent the past twenty eight years brokering, buying, renovating, managing and selling real estate. My business day consists of speaking to lawyers, brokers, buyers and sellers. The name Elena Bluntzer will forever be etched in my real estate Hall of Fame. I interviewed her along with two other Brokers after our condo sat on the market unsold for twenty months. Her preparation, presentation and professionalism were head and shoulders above the other candidates. She made the decision easy for me. I knew that I was impressed. I did not know if she would deliver.Over the next nine months Elena continually exceeded my expectations. I'm sure you've heard horror stories about short sales. Mine was no exception. Elena talked big, and she backed it up in every way. She showed my unit constantly, worked very well with co brokers and completely understood the market. I found that she possessed tremendous pride and was inexhaustible. The "fourth quarter" of our short sale lasted three months and, surprisingly, I saw her get stronger as we approached the finish line. Competent, determined and experienced accurately describe her. I felt that I had a person representing me who brought more to the table than I did. I'm not used to that. During months of daily frustration she was continually pleasant and "cool under fire." Elena was absolutely expert at reading contracts and noticing errors that I or my counsel had missed. I'm not used to that either. Her staff was competent and responsive. I never felt forgotten or disconnected. After the performance I witnessed, I would bet that Elena could handle standard transactions with her eyes closed and both hands tied behind her back. I've spent a lifetime dealing with Brokers and, for the most part, I haven't been too impressed. Elena definitely is an All-Star. f you hire this woman, I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed with her personally or professionally. I am pleased to repay her massive effort to me and my family with this letter of recommendation. My lawyer called her a "bulldog." I assure you, he meant it as a compliment.

My realtor, Elena Bluntzer, has been our family"s real tor of choice for several years representing us in the sales and purchases of several ultra-high-end properties we have owned in the areas of Miami Beach and Coral Gables. She sold my father, Raul Casares', lower penthouse 2101 in the Apogee in the down market for an excellent price and listed and sold his direct oceanfront residence in the St Regis Bal Harbor also for an unprecedented price. When it came time to buy she presented us with a great oppo1tunity to purchase a unit in the Gables Club at 60 Edgewater. Every h·ansaction has closed smoothly and without a glitch. We depend on her extensive knowledge of the market to advise us and guide us in our real estate investments. I as well as my father would recommend Elena Bluntzer and her team without hesitation to anyone interested in hiring a true professional in the real estate industry in South Florida.

We would highly recommend working with Elena and her team. They helped us find our perfect home and made us feel at ease during the entire process. From our first meeting with Elena, we knew she would guide us in the right direction. She has an incredible knowledge of the market, impeccable taste and was very helpful in identifying homes that were well priced and valued. She showed us a number of homes in our price range and was very honest about homes that were not well valued. We never felt that Elena was looking to make a quick sale - she was looking to find our dream home. She patiently stood by us over months of searching and once we found our home, she handled negotiations with the seller - sometimes late at night and round the clock. Once in contract, we relied on Elena's extensive network of vendors and experts to help us through inspection. Everyone was a professional - honest and quick to respond. As first-time homebuyers, she was our advocate and identified issues and solutions to get us to closing. Elena also brought a critical eye to the process. We trusted her completely and couldn't be more happy with where we ended up. Thank you Elena for everything!

Dear Elena, I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you again for the incredible job you did on the sale and purchase of our homes. Your knowledge and professionalism has made this experience and extremely positive one. With 10 days of listing our home we had 2 offers, one of which we accepted allowing us to make an offer on the new home. The entire process from signing the contract with you to moving into the new home only took 6 weeks, that's amazing!!! You went above and beyond what we were expecting and you made this deal happen. I could not be any happier with the service that you and your assistant, Jennifer provided for us. We were very fortunate in having you as our agent and will highly recommend you to any potential buyers/sellers.

Elena Bluntzer has sold my property 2214 Fisher Island during the past 30 days. I was extremely pleased with her work, and her method of marketing and selling the property. Elena was responsive to any questions and concerns. She addressed any questions with straightforward answers, which left me feeling confident that we were on track towards a sale. One valuable extra is the well-organized office and staff. Elena and her assistant were extremely knowledgeable about the local market as well as the regulations and contacts to put together a final sale. Living out of the area, and away from the property, I often relied on Elena and her assistant, Jennifer, to help with details I couldn't manage. They were always ready to step in and go the extra mile. I recommend Elena Bluntzer for your real estate needs, without hesitation.

Dear Elena: I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the great work you did in getting unit 4952 sold on Fisher Island. We were very concerned that with 138 units for sale on the island that trying to find a buyer at a reasonable price would be difficult. I know that many units have been on the market for years with few if any offers and trying to distinguish ourselves given all of that inventory was challenging to say the least. You did a superb job in a very reasonable period of time. I tried to stay out of your way and not micromanage what you were doing and that proved to be a wise decision. Everyone in the family is delighted by what you did and we will most definitely use you again. Thanks!

It is our immense pleasure to recommend Elena Bluntzer as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. My father-in-law had utilized Elena for the purchase of his home a number of years ago and he highly recommended Elena. We were not disappointed!Elena had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in a single-family home as well as our timing requirements. We were moving after our daughter finished school and needed to sell our house in California before buying a house in Miami. Elena's advice on timing was instrumental in making our move a success. Elena and her team are highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale in the best school districts. She did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. In addition, Elena provided professional feedback on the current state of the housing market and also wields a deep knowledge of both the past and prospective factors that influence home prices.A master with the contract negotiations, Elena came up with a deal that outstanding for us and made the seller happy as well. She knows Miami, and especially Coconut Grove like the back of her hand. There is nothing that escapes Elena’s attention when it comes to property for sale in this area.We found Elena to be a highly attentive agent. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She is also highly personable with an engaging personality.We are pleased to recommend Elena Bluntzer to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again, she will be our first choice in real estate agents. In fact, we were so pleased with Elena's services that we utilized her again when my mother-in-law purchased a condo in Miami. Same great results!!
