Here's what past clients are saying about John & Maria Hoffman...
Due to circumstances, was looking for a lower cost home, which meant a short-sale. Maria spent many weekends, looking at a variety of homes all over the county. She never gave up and then pushed through the short sale in half the time that was expected. Great job and great support throughout the process!! Dan March 8, 2012

Absolutely the best realtors you will ever find. We had very little knowledge of the area. Maria and John Hoffman were professional, extremely knowledgeable, and focused on our needs. They gave us good advice and great service. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Maria Hoffman, who was always prepared, had a smile, and promptly followed up on all questions and important issues. The Hoffman's were always available and responsive. We considered ourselves very fortunate to have their expertise representing us. Good family people as well. - Dan and Tina C - January 18, 2012

properties and were referred by a friend (whose brother had bought a house using Maria) to Maria and John. We have purchased numerous properties in the past and have worked with many real estate professionals - we are experienced. As a buyer we worked most closely with Maria, and can honestly say that she is the best real estate broker and overall one of the best people in business with whom we have ever worked (in any business). She knows the Tampa real estate market cold (important for us as we do not reside in Florida), is extremely trustworthy, and truly focused on our needs. Based on her and John's recommendation we decided to buy a cheaper property with the potential for a better return. We then closed the "short sale from hell!" and Maria was out in front - pushing back appropriately to the other parties to defend our interests; then she'd call and let us know what had transpired. We wholeheartedly recommend Tampa Home Group both for ...properties and were referred by a friend (whose brother had bought a house using Maria) to Maria and John.

On the sell side, I had several conversations with John about the overall market (owner, bank, and short sales) and he was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. Our relationship with them will undoubtedly continue. - Malitoha Properties - Jan 21, 2012

is genuinely interested in your happiness and satisfaction, look no further! This was our first home-buying experience and from start to finish, Maria Hoffman provided exceptional service and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Once we'd narrowed down houses to visit, she did all of the groundwork, research, and route planning on her own time to ensure our time was spent looking at prospective homes, not on logistics. Also, we were new to the area and Maria took the time to learn about us personally and used that information to share helpful tips on local businesses/attractions that would either save us money or be of interest to visit. She was very thorough, informative and professional throughout the entire home-buying process and still continues to look out for us. What else can we say? Maria is the total package!

"Alba and I would like to thank you very much for your help in selecting our new home. As you remember, we first met you when you were the listing agent for our current house over six years ago. Your professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market were prime reasons for us to contact you when we decided to purchase a new home. We could not be more delighted in the insights you gave to us on the current housing market. Due to this and your knowledge of the market area, we were able to purchase a much larger house, in a better community, at a significant discount from the listing price. Also, your referral for financing, inspection and insurance were above par. Once again thank you." -- Ronald F.
