What do Clients Say?

My husband and I relocated to a new state, but not by choice, so we started our home search with quite a bit of trepidation and not in the best of spirits. Enter Shawna. She was recommended to us by the excellent realtor who sold our “forever” home in MD and Shawna did not disappoint. She exceeded our expectations at every turn in that she was consistently responsive to our inquiries; understood our concerns, must haves and needs; is incredibly knowledgeable about the greater Tampa area, and did not relent until she found us the perfect home for us. Shawna showed us grace, empathy, and kindness throughout every step of the process but was a bulldog in advocating for us on a number of items we otherwise would not have known to fight for. Shawna turned a significant event in our lives that triggered a ton of stress into a pleasant and exciting journey. We couldn’t be happier with her outstanding service, and we actually love our new home and state! BRAVO Shawna!

Alex & Janice Kleinman

Shawna Ramkalawan is the best real estate agent that I have ever used. She was referred to me by my brother who used her and also raves about her. I saw how she found him a place to buy that he loved and she later sold his place when he needed her to in one day. My experience with her has been awesome. She went over and above to assist me with buying the perfect condo that she found for me in St. Pete. Shortly thereafter I had to leave town for a couple of months and she handled the entire purchase for me long distance. Every contract, HOA requirements, insurance documentation and title requirements were handled by her and all I needed to do was DocuSign all of the paperwork. The entire process was handled to perfection. My boyfriend who owns several properties was so impressed with her that he is now going to use Shawna for any future purchases and sales for which he is involved. Shawna and her partner are the best and I would recommend her to anyone!

I connected with Shawna since our first phone conversation. Her personality and expertise showed since that very first moment. We told her what we were looking for, and she did not stop until she found our dream home. She was so honest every time we looked at houses that I ended up just trusting her opinion with my eyes closed based on our wants and needs. Since we were on the west coast, the whole process (including the closing) was done through phone, video and written messages. She went way beyond our expectations, and now we have a new amazing friend in Tampa. Forever grateful to Shawna and Gisele.

We absolutely loved working with Shawna and Gisele, they are the best team. We recently moved from NJ and thought it would take about a year to find a home but Shawna was able to find the perfect place for our family to grow and build beautiful memories and when everything seemed like it wasn't gonna happen she made it happen!! We will always be grateful for her help and hard work. 10 stars ??

I had an excellent experience using Shawna. She is proactive to customer needs while executing customer requirements in a high quality, timely manner. You can count on her to do the right thing. She keeps her promises and holds herself accountable to the highest level of personal and professional standards of conduct. She was on top of everything from beginning to the end. She leaves no stone uncovered when working with her clients. She made my experience, the best one I have had. You will not be disappointed with her helping you and guiding you through a stressful process.
