Client Reviews

Working with Florence was easily the most enjoyable part of the home buying experience for my family. I remember in our very first meeting she told us that if we were highly motivated, we would get a house. While we had doubts and were prepared to settle in for the long haul, she was absolutely right! Just over 5 weeks later we were moving into our first home.

My husband and I had spent years dreaming of our first home and unfortunately, the right time to buy for us came during the pandemic, in the middle of this extremely tough sellers market. However, having worked with her professionally for a few years, I knew that if anyone was up to the challenge, it was Florence! She reassured us every step of the way and despite her very busy schedule, Florence was constantly communicating with us throughout the process and happily answered all of the many questions we had as first time homebuyers. She always made us feel as though we were her only client! Having never purchased a home before, my husband and I had no idea what to expect and were so happy to have Florence in our corner advising us and advocating for our best interests every step of the way. I cannot recommend Florence highly enough and continue to sing her praises to everyone we relay our home buying experience to. If you are looking to buy or sell in Napa Valley in the near future, you definitely want Florence on your team!

Florence absolutely exceeded my expectations of what value a realtor could bring to my home buying process. As a first time buyer, it was important to me to be able to trust the person helping me find and purchase a home and Florence lived up to this 100%. From my first meeting with her, she truly listened to what I was looking for and offered valuable insights as to what was available in the market and where I could find a match. Once I did put an offer in, her and her team were dedicated to making it happen. Even with an an unexpected emergency trip out of the country, I never felt alone when finalizing the purchase. I will recommend Florence to any family + friends I know moving in the Napa area!

Thanks to Joedy Michael and the L’AGENCE team we were able to sell our home after just a few days on the market. Joedy and his team understood the housing market in our area, which allowed us to market our home at a competitive price. He spent lots of time answering our questions. He provided objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and provided a great deal information on comps in the area. Because of their expertise we accepted an offer that exceeded our expectations. Joedy always kept us informed on what was happening and was quick to return phone calls, text messages and emails. He has a great attitude and wants the best for his clients. We are extremely grateful for the help we received with the sale of our home. We’d highly recommend Joedy whether you are buying or selling a home.

In selling a home, when it comes to choosing a realtor, many factors come into consideration, including knowledge of the local market, dedication to the sale, availability, and willingness to get to know the client and their goals. Florence excelled in all of these areas, but particularly in the latter two, which were the most important to us. She was personally available 24/7 for any questions that came up, to review prior conversations, and often times just for reassurance and to hold our hand. When the local market took a downturn with a marked decrease in home sales accompanied by a high inventory, she was able to switch gears effortlessly and come up with several different plans to get our house sold. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and discerning our priorities. Ultimately, when we did get an offer, she guided us through some difficult financial decisions, reminding us throughout of our ultimate goal. Without her guidance and expertise , we suspect our home would still be on the market. We cannot recommend her more highly.

"Florence did an absolutely outstanding job in facilitating our finding a home and purchasing it at a fantastic price. She is so very knowledgeable regarding the whole process and understands the market thoroughly. We found the absolute perfect home for us in Napa next to my son, who she also helped. My son and I and our families are so happy we chose Florence Ropelewski to be our realtor. When it comes to negotiating, she is the absolute best. Go with Florence and you too will be a completely happy customer."

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional services provided by Florence. With professionalism and expertise, she facilitated an off-market house sale in Napa and condo purchase in San Francisco. Florence's proactive communication kept us informed throughout, addressing potential issues promptly. Her ability to anticipate and mitigate challenges played a pivotal role in the success of our transactions. Her tailored approach, deep market knowledge, and adaptability empowered us to make confident decisions aligned with our needs. Florence’s professionalism, transparent communication, attention to detail, and dedication to client success set her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Florence for her exceptional real estate services. If the need arises, I would undoubtedly work with her again. Her expertise turned our real estate goals into a reality.

Marguerite Padovani

Florence is amazing! She is knowledgeable, thorough, calm, and supportive. The idea of searching for and buying a home was daunting to us, and she instantly made us feel comfortable. She matched our energy and she would provide us with all the facts in order to make the best, most informed decision possible. The process ending feels bittersweet because we are so so excited to be in our new home, but are also going to miss seeing and working with Florence so regularly! We highly recommend working with her!
