Team Werner has been extremely professional and helpful through our home buying process. They were engaged with us from start to finish and gave us the confidence we needed to close. Would recommend this team to anyone!
We could not have asked for a better realtor to make selling our home in the midst of a move overseas a smooth process. Mike, Ilona and their team were amazing through every step of selling our home. They took a stressful process in a time of overall chaos for us, and made it seamless. We would work with their family again without question and recommend them to anyone buying or selling!
Mike, Ilona, and Eric Werner did everything possible to help us find the right place in Florida. They answered any questions we had and worked tirelessly for us even after hours. They are also good friends of the EOD community and know exactly what to look for when helping people like us find a desirable location in the limited space around Eglin AFB. I would recommend them to anyone know in the area, especially for our military members. Thanks Team Werner!
Absolutely amazing experience, start to finish. Will definitely be recommending them to friends and family.
Mike and his team are incredible. He was able to sell our house quickly and at a fair price. He also had great recommendations for local workers to do some repairs to the house.
The best in Bay County! Knowledge is power, and Team Werner is a power team.
Mike, Ilona, and Colin are like family to us and have been exceptional in making sure that our new house is our new home. We’ve been blessed to have them in our lives to make sure we are making the right decision for our family. I cannot recommend them higher.
Colin is the BEST!!!! I definitely could not have made it through the process without him. He went so above and beyond for our family. Thank you so much for helping us make our dream come true.
Mike Werner and his wife Ilona are absolutely the best. Mike helped us purchase a home in 2018 while we were living in Guam. He and Ilona would stay up late at night to be able to call us in the day our time. They took pictures and made videos for us so we could follow the process of our new build from so far away. I feel like they were as excited as we were and they really were there for any question we had. We recently listed our home for sale with Mike and he helped us decide on a fair price and Ilona gave us tips on staging our house for the best pictures and curb appeal. Ilona also took wonderful pictures and they had the house listed and sold in just a couple of days even though the market has slowed down and interest rates are up. We are so grateful for them and all of the help they have given us during our time in Panama City
Very pleased with the entire experience. I appreciate how involved the entire team was during the search for my new home. Thanks Mike, Colin, & Ilona.
We had a wonderful experience working with Mike and Illona… we used them we we bought our house and again when we wanted to sell almost 10 years later. They both made an already stressful situation very pleasant and smooth. Thank you guys… we will be recommending you to all of our Bay County friends looking to sell
A wonderful experience in purchasing and selling a home from Michael & Ilana. From the professional stellar pictures that helped market and sell our beach home in 2 days, to efficient, timely communication every step of the way; with home inspections, surveys, financial & closing agents.I highly recommend the Werners.
Michael Werner is amazing! We were first time home buyers and he and his wife Ilona guided us through the process. He is very knowledgeable. I know that he can help ANYBODY. I recommend that if you are looking to buy a home, reach out to him.
Mike and Ilona were extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of it. They treated me like family and I was extremely fortunate to have their expertise guide me through the home buying experience. Cannot recommend them highly enough!
Mike and his wife make a solid team!Whether it is your first time buying a home or one of many, they will be thorough the entire process. Questions, concerns, and potential obstacles will be addressed and handled with little to no stress on your side as the buyer. I bought my home entirely virtual while getting ready to move to Florida from Germany. One would expect there to be issues but due to the great people I was put in contact with, the process of this purchase went very smooth! I highly suggest going with Mike if you consider buying a house!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Mike and Ilona. I had complete confidence and felt relatively no stress from buying 2 new homes. They are my go to for advice and knowledge. I look forward to working together for all future purchases, both in the local area, and not.
