We worked with Carla Bailey for two years to find our perfect Florida condo. She was patient with us and kept in touch while we explored different areas and the type of home we wanted. Carla listened well and ultimately found us exactly what we were looking for. She was responsive, helpful, and persistent and we couldn't be happier!
Linda Rukavina, Customer
After watching many videos from Explore55Plus, we decided to contact them as they seemed very intuitive, friendly and yet thoughtful of each person's needs. Moving from NY state into Florida was not an easy task especially with all the 55plus communities out there in Florida which we had zero where we lived. I really liked how they gave us videos of many places, gave us the pluses and minuses, and were unbiased. We began our journey over 1.5 years ago...

We moved here from Indiana. Mary was wonderful from beginning to end. She was always prompt at answering our questions during the stressful process of moving from out of state. She did an amazing job at helping us during the transition. We can’t thank her enough for all she did. Above and beyond!!
Gina Campell, Customer
Mary and Claire were fantastic to work with and made the experience of buying and selling as painless as possible. All went well even in a slow market. Highly recommend! Thank you all greatly!

I reached out to Explore55Plus after watching a few of the YouTube videos. OMG! They gave me a gem in Kalyn Wagonmaker - she is the best! She figured what we wanted and needed before we did! She is the ultimate professional and it was a true pleasure.
Victoria Pacheco, Customer
We absolutely loved working with Claire and the team at Explore55Plus! We really relied on Explore55Plus to provide us with all the information that we needed to make the best decision for us when it came to our Florida retirement home. We spent hours watching Nicky and J Michael's videos and found them not only informative but extremely entertaining. We are so happy that they paired us up with Claire Brooks. She was a joy to work with and listened carefully as to what was important to us...
