“This past spring we made several trips to Florida in hopes of purchasing a home. We were referred to Helen by a friend who owns real estate in the area of Bradenton, where we were looking. After submitting offers on three different properties we finally purchased a home. Helen was very patient with us and was very attentive to seeking out answers we had regarding the many properties we viewed. She was very helpful before the closing and gave us the name of an insurance agent, who got us excellent coverage for thousands less than I could find on my own. If you are looking to buy in Florida, contact Helen.”

How continuously kept us updated on the homes that were listed in the area, so when we finally moved here, we knew what we were looking for and where.

“Helen was incredible - everything you want in a realtor. We were buying from out of town so it was even more important than usual for us to find someone knowledgeable and trustworthy. We were so fortunate to find Helen. She knew the area very well, how the market was trending and what that meant for home prices. She also really listened well to learn what we were looking for and then honed in on the exact kinds of properties we wanted.”

“I was fortunate to have met Helen Carlsen when I was looking to purchase a condo in Bradenton, Florida. As I drove around in the area I was interested in, I saw a sign in the window with Helen's phone number as she was the listed agent on the property. I immediately called her and she responded accordingly. With no hesitation, Helen met me at the location and welcomed my concerns and questions regarding the property. Helen was very accommodating and I felt that I could trust her in helping me find the perfect property within my price range. Helen was always available and after I made my decision, I was able to close within 15 days with Helen's direction. I will always refer Helen and I know when I decide to move again and sell my condo, or rent it out in a couple years, Helen will be my agent!”

“Helen is an excellent choice for helping you with find the house that you love! Not only is she professional, she listens and understands her clients needs and wants for the home they are looking for. My husband and I moved to Florida from Illinois, not knowing the area well. Helen's knowledge of the Bradenton and surrounding areas is very valuable for giving insight of the pros and cons of a particular area. Most of all she is very patient and understands buying a home is a big decision and her only wish is that you are happy with the home you choose. We highly recommend Helen!”

“I have been working with Helen for over a year, trying to find my dream home in Bradenton. Helen was tireless in her pursuit of my dream. When I was able to come down to Florida, she showed me houses that perfectly fit my description of what I wanted. For the rest of the time she sent me listings as they came up. The house I finally bought wasn't even on my list the last time I was in Florida, but Helen suggested that before I left I should just take a look. I loved it at first sight and am now busy filling it with lovely furnishings. She had recommendations for everything, and they all turned out to be very helpful, from financing to home owners insurance to the handy man who is coming tomorrow to assemble some furniture. Helen knows her job and keeps at it until everything is done. Thanks Helen.”

“From our first meeting, Helen was very knowledgeable of the local buyer's market for condos and was very helpful with input in regards to how particular condos compare in terms of local life, rent profitability, and long term property value estimates. On our second time meeting/needing assistance from her, she was easily reachable and was able to conduct a speedy buying process despite not being in the immediate area and negotiate/assist in an early closing process.”

“Helen was wonderful to work with when buying our home in Bradenton. She provided details about each community we visited and quickly understood the type of home, community and surroundings would be a best fit for us. Helen was also amazingly efficient in scheduling our time and very responsive to all of our questions, which were quite a few, since we are new to the area and the process has changed quite a bit from our last home purchase. We would recommend Helen to our family and friends.”
dawn polak
“We were looking for a home from out of state. Helen put in a lot of time emailing information/available homes, and looking at new communities with us. We traveled for short weekends at a time so the days were long in seeing as much as we could. Helen was easy to get in contact with or quickly respond back to us if unavailable. Even during hurricane Irma, Helen was willing to show us additional communities as we were scheduled to be in Florida during that time (our flight was later cancelled anyway). WE have now moved into our new home and appreciate all the help Helen assisted us with.”

“Helen Carlsen provided no pressure assistance selling my home, a home we bought with her help a few years earlier. She offered some helpful tips for improving the home for sale. We had multiple offers and the house sold for 7% more than we had listed it for (and I thought we listed it on the high end so we made way more $$$ than we were expecting). Unlike some brokers who won't return your calls for days, Helen always responded very quickly to any inquiry. I will definitely be calling her when I buy my next property and you should too.”
wades011
“I can't speak highly enough. Helen did an awesome job for us. We sold two properties and purchased one in 2017, all in the second half of the year. We were on a mission to purchase a new property at the Estuary in Bradenton. So in order to do that, the stipulation was we needed to sell our properties to make the sale work. Very difficult when we were in Massachusetts. Helen was the key to make that happen for us. Helen marked our properties aggressively and made it happen. Thanks again Helen for all the hard work. We'll see you soon when we move. Regards, Dave and Christine”

“SUPERB SERVICE We contacted numerous agents from the UK to assist us with the purchase of a home on Siesta Key, although we had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for, Helen was the only Agent who took the time to listen to our specific search requirements and answer our detailed questions she went on to help us considerably with the purchase process. We submitted our offer, had the property inspected, offer accepted and purchase completed within an incredible 10 days! A testimony to the super efficient communication and management of this negotiation. Helen also negotiated a $500 reduction on our legal fees. We can't recommend Helen enough and have already passed her card to friends who maybe looking to purchase next year. Great job Helen, you made this daunting task a joy!

“I live out of state and needed to find a winter home for my husband who is in a wheelchair and facing a bout with cancer. It was getting difficult to rent. Helen guided me through a lot of condo's until we found just the right one turn key and near the beach with a garage. We did it all on the internet and I am not masterful on the net. Thank goodness she is! She was kind when I was stressed and persevered to the end. I will definitely use Helen again but I hope not too soon!”
