Jake Pfaff was not only knowledgeable but extremely helpful. This was my first time selling & buying a home completely on my own & he explained everything to me so I was able to understand. I truly appreciate everything he has done for me & my son. This could not have happened without him.

Upon completion of my Florida Real Estate sales license, I visited RE/MAX Freedom to learn more about how to get started in real estate sales. Ed and April, the Broker/owners, invited me to their brokerage and I have to say the "stars aligned" for me that day! RE/MAX Freedom offers a low stress but exciting space to learn and grow for new agents, as well as a stable and confident brokerage for experienced agents to really direct and succeed in their own business. Without pressure to attend endless meetings, or to meet unrealistic expectations, new and experienced agents have direct and immediate access to not only two Broker/owners, but ample office space and supplies/technology. Marketing and lead generation tools, client tracking and other valuable technologies are offered as well. Leads generated through the office are equitably distributed. For new agents, training is provided at a pace that best fits the agent, and experienced agents at RE/MAX Freedom offer to mentor new agents. RE/MAX Freedom is a GREAT brokerage to grow your real estate business without limits, at your own pace and with confidence that you are not working alone!

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness The transaction went so smoothly.
Wendy was absolutely wonderful. The Title Company she selected to assist in the closing was wonderful as well. I cannot believe we were able to close in 2 weeks!

Stephanie is a top notch realtor. She explained what needed to be done to get my deceased family members home sold and had buyer and closed in just a few weeks. I would highly recommend her and use her again.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness We love Kim Volean.
We are older, and hence have experienced many real estate sales/purchases in our lives. This is not our first. Having said that, Kim is the best. I just love her. I probably don't need to tell you this, but ReMax should be delighted to have her working with your company. I would highly recommend her.

In my 28 years as an active real estate agent, I have had multiple brokers. Ed and April Couturier are by far the most professional, giving, and easy to work for brokers that I have ever had. They will drop what they are doing to work with an agent when the agent has a question or an issue. They return calls and texts in a timely matter(which in real estate is an invaluable personality trait). A lot of real estate brokerages will offer you the world to get you through the door, and then once you join them you are just another number. Ed and April treat their realtors like family. I recommend RE/MAX Freedom highly to any and all agents. Whether you are experienced or new, you will be treated with respect, and definitely NOT pushed aside once you join the company. Come aboard…I promise you will not regret it!!!

Very knowledgeable and friendly realtor! A respected friend recommended Stephanie when we were ready to sell our home. Listing was perfect! She ensured the process was as easy on us as possible. Stephanie was spot on with pricing and marketing. Showings right away. Under contract in 3 weeks and closed 2 weeks later! Fantastic!

It was a pleasure working with Stephanie on the recent sale of our property. She was very receptive and responsive to our desires and did an awesome job marketing our home. So good in fact, that we had a buyer in less than 24 hours.

Stephanie Ray at Remax did an outstanding job helping us buy our home in Florida. We had a contingency offer on our home in NY. Our buyer's buyer had a contingency based on financing. Stephanie coordinated with the other realtors to make sure the deal got done. I don't think it is an understatement to say our deal probably wouldn't have been completed without her. We highly recommend her.

Realtors Bob Payne and Jolene DeHond did a great job with the listing of our condominium in Oxford, FL near the Villages.
As an out-of-town seller, they took care of some local issues for us that were very helpful and did so with a "how can we help?" attitude. I would strongly recommend Bob and Jolene as representatives for sellers or buyers.

If we could leave more stars we would. Stephanie helped us so much with her knowledge of Ocala and surrounding areas. She was extremely commutative and responsive. She helped us purchase a home in a 55 plus community while we were living up north. She found us the perfect home in the perfect area after much searching. She really looks out for her buyers and thinks of everything to look for. She negotiated our purchase very professionally. We could be happier!! Any friends or family interested in moving to this area will be referred right to Stephanie Ray!

Karey and Spencer worked extremely hard to sell my home.
It took some time, but they were there for me any time I needed them. They went above and beyond while we were out of town, taking care of normal things that I would have had to do had I been home to take care of them. No questions asked, just jump in and take care of business for me. They also worked tirelessly to find a new home for us. Karey and Spencer will do the job for you, always with a smile and very professional too. Not just them, the entire team at Re/Max Freedom were there to help. Highly recommend for your real estate needs!! Thank you Karey and Spencer!! Dan and Patty

Stephanie did an excellent job. Stephanie handled the sale of my property very professionally. Stephanie promptly contacted me initially and thereafter whenever I had a question or a concern. Stephanie throughly and clearly explained and guided me through the sale process. Stephanie sold my property in one day, and the entire process from initial contact to closing took less than six weeks.
I am extremely pleased with the real estate services Stephanie provided. I highly recommend Stephanie for selling property

What inspires me most is the culture they've created. Their agents are more than colleagues—they're a family of highly trained professionals who embody integrity and care in building relationships over transactions.
As the Director of Marketing, I’ve had the privilege of helping shape the voice and brand of a company that truly delivers on its promises. The support and collaboration from our leadership, Ed and April Couturier, are unmatched. They’ve built something extraordinary, and it’s an honor to share their vision.
RE/MAX Freedom is not just a place to work; it’s a place where you grow, thrive, and make an impact. I’m proud to be part of this journey and look forward to seeing how many lives we’ll touch in the years to come."

I would highly recommend Jacob Pfaff as a realtor to sell your home. He was very prompt to return my call when I started looking for a realtor to sell my mothers home. The entire time he was professional, asked questions and was thorough in reviewing the home before letting us know what would be a good price to list the home for. He gave advice on what he thought we should repair and what we needed to get done before we wanted to list. He had internal/external pictures taken of the home with great aerial views too. He took the time to help me out where he could since I was selling my mothers home and live out of state. He went above an beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the results of a quick sale.

It has been my honor to have met April & Ed. I can say without hesitation they are the BEST BROKERS I have been associated with in my Real Estate career. They are so generous with their time and help. Through thick and thin they are always there with encouragement and help. I'm so GLAD to have met them and be a part of the REMAX FREEDOM family.

Stephanie is a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful agent. She made the process of buying our retirement dream home so easy and quick.

She is the real deal and the whole package..

Jake Pfaff did an awesome job getting me into my first home in The Villages.
I contacted Jake on a Monday afternoon, and within an hour, he had found me just the right house. We were in contract within 2 days. Jake guided me through the process from offer to closing. He was always just a phone call or text away and responded very quickly. It was such a pleasure working with him. I will be recommending him to friends who are looking to purchase in The Villages.

My Wife and I cannot recommend Eric Mayer highly enough. He truly exceeded all expectations, demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication during what was an incredibly challenging and complex real estate journey for our family.
Eric's expertise was first proven when he sold our townhouse in Wesley Chapel. The local market was sluggish, making a sale feel nearly impossible. However, Eric remained proactive and strategic, and his persistence and marketing efforts resulted in a successful sale.
His greatest test, however, was navigating our subsequent home purchase. The property was a difficult probate case, and we faced numerous unexpected hurdles. Eric handled every obstacle with a masterful combination of professionalism and problem-solving, consistently going above and beyond. He kept us informed, explained complex legal issues clearly, and ensured that the entire process, though difficult, moved forward smoothly.
Throughout both transactions, Eric was a calming and reassuring presence. He was responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about our best interests. His commitment didn't just end with the sale and purchase; he was a constant support who made the overwhelming process manageable.

We sold our home through Jacob here and his service was top notch.
Our home was under contract in 16 days thanks to him and I could not recommend him more! He took care of our every concern every step of the way and got us more than what we wanted for our house. I know every one of my friends and family that is looking to move to the villages will be getting Jacob recommended to them.
