Testimonials

 “Stop what you are doing and call John and Maria. I have worked in the mortgage business for over eight years and have worked with countless agents during that time. John and Maria’s team is hands down the best. Their experience in real estate and the local area helped them price and sell our home at the highest value our neighborhood has ever seen, and we had several full asking offers within two days of listing. They are very attentive throughout the sale and helped us at every step in the sale process, such as staging, negotiating the contract, and ensuring inspection went according to plan…You will be leaving money on the table if you use someone else. This is your agent team.” 

-Sarah Godwin

I would work with John again a million times over. This was my first time selling my home, and John and Maria were recommended to me from someone I trusted. I was in good hands from start to finish. Every question I had was answered and the attention to detail was what impressed me the most throughout the process. I sold my home during a good market, and I took my time to meet with quite a few realtors before choosing who I wanted to do business with. John took the time to explain why (even in a good market) it was necessary to properly stage the home, put in the extra work, and go about things the "right way." I really valued working with someone with such integrity, and that translated to everyone at Tampa Home Group. I can't say enough good things about this agency. Don't go with anyone else whether you are buying or selling - their expertise and knowledge will get you the results you want and more, while taking into account what is important for you on a personal level. All my thanks and gratitude to John, Maria, and the Tampa Home Group!

What are the most important attributes in a Realtor? Analytical rigor, common sense, the human touch and an ability to execute. John and Maria Hoffman have all of these. I don't usually write reviews, but am making an exception here because these two, who happen to be some of the most successful (by sales) residential realtors in the State of Florida, left a strong impression on my wife and I. At the time, to underscore their ability to price and sell a house properly, my wife was 9 months pregnant when we decided to sell, so time is of the essence. My house sold in less than 48 hours with multiple offers, and we initially priced OVER what we thought the market would bear. We approached John and Maria because we wanted to sell our 1923 Craftsman Bungalow near downtown Tampa. Our family was growing, and our priorities had changed in terms of neighborhood and school districts. Maria and John immediately recognized areas where the house required some maintenance before selling and scheduled a contractor who quickly gave us a quote on the work. Our home was pre-marketed on Zillow, which created immediate buzz. By the time we had an open house, there were 11 showings in one day. In less than 48-hours we had five full price offers and three bidding wars! I watched John handle the customers and anticipate issues in a very skilled manner. Our transaction closed yesterday, and we are delighted. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOHN AND MARIA HOFFMAN FOR YOUR FLORIDA REAL ESTATE NEEDS.

Bravo! John was an excellent partner in our real estate transaction. In today’s day and age I have come to lower my expectation from service providers. However, John EXCEEDED my expectations on all fronts. His experience, savvy, and professionalism helped us secure the deal with 30 other offers on the table. He was simply amazing. He went above and beyond on all aspects of the transaction and followed through on even the smallest of details. I wholeheartedly would recommend John and his staff for any real estate transaction you may have. I will 100% partner with him again for the sale of our next home. You should too!

-Linda Conaway

I had the good fortune to work with John and Maria Hoffman for the sale of my home. Never having been through this process before, John literally did the hard work for me every step of the way. If something needed to be done with my home, he not only recommended, but also hired, the right person to do the work for me. I felt they “held my hand” throughout the entire process, start to finish. Those who were familiar with selling and buying homes even remarked to me that they had never encountered any realtor more attentive and more helpful than John and Maria. The service I feel I was given was above and beyond anything I could have ever dreamed. The sale of my home was a difficult decision for me but made much easier because I worked with them. There was no question left unanswered. The professionalism they brought to the table is something all should be able to experience. I would highly recommend the services of these two realtors to anyone who is looking for top notch service. I feel extremely lucky to have worked with them and would encourage those who are looking for quality to certainly go with them when selling a home.

We sold our home in partnership with John and Maria while in a pandemic and with two small children in tow. It was no easy task to do the work necessary to prepare the house for sale, but Maria and John gave us the guidance and advice we needed to achieve our goals quickly with minimal interruptions to our daily lives. Their planned and professional approach for listing and their negotiating skills that came into play when we received multiple offers really paid off.  The end result of the combined efforts exceeded our initial expectations by tens of thousands of dollars. I highly recommend having them on your team and encourage others who may want to make a move to take the leap to list! Thank you, John and Maria (And, Debbie and Jake, too!)!

I cannot thank John and Maria for such an incredible experience. Before we met the Hoffman's we were having a difficult time getting our house sold when we first came on the market, we spent almost 3 months with several showings and 0 offers. We decided it was time to make a change and found John and Maria, within the first 2 weeks we had an offer on the table and turned around a sale within the next 2 months. They were there every step of the way! Whenever I had a question (and I admit I had a lot) John was always answering his phone to walk me through the process, what to expect, who he knew that could help get an issue fixed. I was impressed with the professionalism the entire Hoffman team showed but was really blown away when the first offer we received did not make it to closure, the opportunity was there for John and Maria to convince us to drop our price just to get the deal done and make a commission, however, they convinced us that our home was worth the asking price and we should maintain our position. What would have been a small difference in commission for them, was a large difference in what was coming out of our pocket. From that point on I knew that they were in our corner and I could completely trust them. I cannot write enough nice things about John and Maria. If you are serious about Buying/Selling your home and want a real estate team that is going to truly take care of you from start to finish I highly recommend this team.

-Ryan & Andrea Patten

"Prior to hiring John and Maria, I had a highly negative experience with another agent. When my contract terminated with the other agent, I must have been contacted by no less than 30 real estate agents. Out of those 30 I narrowed it down to three I would interview. Maria spoke with me over the phone first and immediately, I sensed I was dealing with a highly professional firm that had a in depth knowledge of the industry as a whole as well as local market trends. She came to my house for an interview and took the time to understand my situation and the house both positive and negative. She immediately developed a strategy that resulted in a contract offer in two days after it hit the MLS. The offer was for asking price with monetary limits on any repairs. I was thrilled and could not be more satisfied after the contract was signed with service that kept me advised all the way through closing. The closing was completed without any delays or issues. I personally witnessed the results from an agent that tells a client what they want to hear from an agent that is professional and tells a client what they need to know. I highly recommend the Hoffmans for any need either buying or selling a home."

"Maria Hoffman impressed me with her 'johnny on the spot' attitude and enthusiasm. I chose her because of the confidence she instilled. Her knowledge of what I needed to do to sell my house was correct and she went out of her way to help get it done especially since I had already moved out of town. My house sold in less than a month at asking price. John also quickly resolved a contingency matter. You couldn't be in better hands for your real estate needs. My thanks to Maria and John Hoffman."

- Elizabeth Zable MD

"After interviewing several firms for an agent that could sell our home, we chose John and Maria Hoffman's Tampa Home Group. With John and Maria we had numerous showings with qualified buyers resulting in a successful sale. We were impressed with their selling process, market knowledge, team organization, ongoing communication, and ability to get great results. We would emphatically recommend John and Maria and their team to anyone who wants a good home sale experience. These are people who care about their clients!"

"John and Maria are the best Real Estate professionals that I have ever dealt with. Being out of state, our house was on the market for 6 months not moving, it was very stressful. Maria was the first realtor that called us at 8AM the day after the previous listing expired. We were very impressed with her market knowledge, professionalism and the enthusiasm to get our house sold. After interviews with several realtors, we decided to re-list with her team and they were on the job right away. John provided his advice on house upgrades to get the best price and they handled the whole renovation project stress free for us. And within 3 weeks we had the offer that we wanted and John was right on the price! We are so happy that we chose Tampa Home Group and would highly recommend John, Maria and their team to anyone who has a need to buy or sell a house without any hesitation. They are truly the BEST!"

"After listing first with another realtor with no success, I was contacted by the Hoffman Group. From the moment they arrived in my home to discuss the sale I was very impressed with the professional manner they conducted themselves. Promising to sell my home wasn't just a sales pitch, they actually did it! We received an offer very shortly and throughout the process to the closing they kept us informed every step of the way! Only have high praise for each and everyone in the organization! Would encourage anyone seeking to sell or purchase to contact them."
