Delia was an absolute unknown entity. She represented a property which was 1500 miles away from us. In a very short time, we felt as if we were dealing with a close friend. Her honesty was so surprising that we felt it was necessary to verify some of her comments. After a couple of verificatrions, it became evident that we had the real deal. She was with us every step of the way and then some (a lot!). After purchasing the property and THEN finally seeing it, some of Delia's observations proved to be wrong. What we found was even better than described. This total stranger has now moved to the category of friend (oh oh) and we would recomend her in the highest manner to anyone seeking that rare combination of expertise and honesty.

Delia was the best agent! She was there every step of the way and made the entire home buying process quick and easy. If there were any "problems" during the process she took care of them as if she were buying the home for herself.

I had the pleasure of working with Delia with my first home purchase. She was referred to me by close friends and was immediately (and continuously) informative and responsive to the full process.
Her knowledge of current programs, market stability, laws and overall city of St Pete and surrounding areas (Gulfport in my search) made our partnership very smooth. She has an excellent team of resources and ensured every potential interest of mine was realistically and financially approachable.
Lastly, Delia is funny, efficient, sharp and genuine. With such a large and sometimes stressful purchase, these are qualities that I truly enjoyed in my experience.
I highly recommend Delia for your next home purchase.

Our whole purchasing process was made much better with Delia's involvement. We felt that the transaction was professionally managed. Everyone did what they said they were going to do, and when they said they would do it. And it doesn't hurt in business that it can fun and enjoyable. All around great experience.

I was a first time home buyer and had no idea what the process entailed! Delia and her awesome assistant walked me through every step and answered every question I had. Thank you for making this process so easy! You are wonderful!

Delia always responded to me immediately and her knowledge of the sale process was excellent. She was always very professional but also completely honest with me, even when the news wasn't good for me. And she worked tirelessly to get my house sold quickly all without compromising the terms.

Delia, Where to begin! From hello you have been amazingly helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and made my search for a home one of the easiest ever. Months of searching before we met ended up with you showing me the most perfect house within days of meeting you! I am so happy our paths crossed and will recommend you to anyone and everyone I hear is looking for a home. Thank you so much for finding my new home for me! You are fantastic!

Lisa was our agent when my husband and I purchased our condo. She was very professional, efficient and most knowledgeable about the entire process from showing us properties to walking us through the large amount of paperwork required. I would use her services again and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Delia was great to work with. She has many years of experience and knew exactly what to look for in a home. She was always willing to show us a house. Even in the pouring rain of a summer storm. Once we found our home, she was there through the whole process. Delia is a realtor who really takes care of her clients.

Lisa has an amazing ability to make the buying or selling process seem easy. She is a plethora of knowledge on all aspects of the process and very responsive to any questions or concerns. Regardless if it falls in her job, if she don't know the answer, she will work tirelessly to find the answer. We really can't say enough about Lisa's professionalism and attention to detail, thanks for making our purchase so seamless. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an amazing agent.

A miracle happened today. Delia fought so hard for me. She went to bat more than a professional baseball player could ever imagine. I finally was able to close on my dream house in a most revered niche community after a long hard battle with a foreclosure property and bank who surprisingly revealed a lien the day before we were suppose to close back in early August. The listing agent and broker didn't do the work that they should have. Delia the broker and my agent of Forever Florida Real Estate went way beyond the call of duty so this day could finally happen. My dreams have come true!!!!!!

Delia was such a pleasure to work with. I fully trusted her with the whole process and could count on her to explain everything in detail and make me feel comfortable the entire time. Even after the closing, she was still taking calls when we had questions. I would recommend her a thousand times over. You never feel that you are being "sold". It's a very comforting and professional feeling working with her.

In late January 2014, we decided to buy a new home. We called the listing agents on five houses for sale, and Delia was the only one to call back; and she called back within an hour! After that first call, we decided to work with Delia. Delia was very friendly, helpful, and responsive. She expertly navigated us through the home buying process. She made the process smooth. ..and we closed on our new house March 7, 2014!

Delia is the best Realtor we have ever dealt with. When we asked her to list our Jungle Prada home for sale, she did an in depth market analysis and was honest with us as to what we could expect our home to sell for, in a very depressed market condition. She actually sold our home for more than we expected!! Delia negotiated masterfully, in our best intrest. She is the ultimate professional and an incredibly nice person. Delia also represented us when we purchased our new house. Delia's expert negotiating skills allowed us to purchase our "dream house." We would not even consider using another realtor in the future and would highly recommend her to our friends and family.

I found Delia Davidson when I was searching -- in Ohio -- for a house in South Pinellas. She wasn't hard to find; I simply Googled "best realtor" here and her name came up.
Google knew what it was doing.
She was the best. She found -- and helped me get -- a terrific short-sale bargain on a beautiful house in Gulfport in 2008.
We've remained friends and I see how hard she works for her clients. I would recommend her as a Realtor with absolutely no reservation.

It has taken longer than I expected to get around to writing this but I have been too busy moving into my new place. My original meeting with Delia was accidental. I had just had knee surgery; she lives nearby but I didn't know her. She stopped by my house because she had seen something in my yard which needed attention and she took care of it. During the conversation which ensued, I learned that she is a realtor and I told her that I was considering selling my house since it seemed to be getting harder and harder to keep it up. I believe that she could have taken advantage of the situation and used it to her advantage but she didn't. It turned out that almost one year went by before I finally made the decision to sell and called her. She worked very hard on the sale and in about three months we had a prospective buyer. Then the fun really began as we went back and forth with questions, negotiations and whatever. She stayed on top of everything as she worked to bring both of us to an acceptable price, conditions and date of sale. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

It doesn't get much better!! The amount of work that Lisa puts forth I believe is unparalleled. We purchased a condo sight unseen after Lisa worked with us being our eyes on every property we were interested. We are looking to make another purchase in the near future and would not even attempt to use anyone else!!

Delia has been our agent for over 10 years. She has helped us buy and sell many properties during this period. We bought our last house in 2011 from Delia and she was able to negotiate a fantastic deal for us. We would highly recommend contacting her for your next purchase or sale.

I can't express how awesome Delia and Forever Florida were with the sale of my house. We weren't sure if we would be able to sell our house as it needed many improvements and we thought we would be stuck with it forever. With Delia's advise we made the decision to do a short sale. Forever Florida held our hand through the whole process. We had a buyer super fast which we were amazed by. The closing date was set and this happened sooner than we thought. Unfortunately at the last minute the buyers back out, we were panicking. Delia assured me we would have another buyer in no time, she didn't let us down! The rest of the process had to be done long distance as we already had a moving date and were moving out of state. Everything went so smoothly. We were also very surprised that Delia had us approved for HAFA and we received a considerable amount of moneyback that we weren't expecting! All in all we were exceptionally happy with Forever Florida, Delia and Everette who also went above and beyond for us!! Thank you so much!

I recommend Delia Davidson without reservation. My husband and I were unhappy with our previous agent, who wanted to list our home for considerably less than we ended up getting through Delia. She was available to be at almost every showing of the house to highlight the home's strengths and had great advice on what needed to be done to the home and didn't, prior to the sale. Delia helped us sell our home much more quickly than I could have ever imagined.

When you select an agent to represent you, you have to feel like they are ALWAYS on your side. In 25 years of buying and selling investment properties, Delia Davidson is the only agent I’ve met that has put my interest before personal profit. In the past year I’ve have purchased 2 investment properties and a new primary residence from Delia. Delia has proven to have an uncanny ability to find great opportunities. All of the properties I’ve acquired through Delia have been purchased well under market. The most recent property we purchased (our new primary) was listed at $550,000 and had a real market value over $650,000. We would have probably paid the asking price because it was already a good deal, but intended to make an offer at $500,000. Rather than simply taking the offer, Delia took the time to call the listing agent to understand what would move the buyer. Through her conversation Delia discovered the sellers were extremely motivated and getting ready to lower the price. We waited a week, made an offer, and ended up purchasing the home for $420,000. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have an agent that puts your interest first and in 25 years Delia is the only one I’ve found.

Melissa and Tom went over and beyond for me. They quickly tuned into my aesthetic and recommended properties that fit all of my needs...location, budget, and style. They are extremely knowledgeable about the region with a deep understanding of the history, and an awareness of where things are going. Once we identified properties, everything went extremely smoothly. They introduced me to a number of good resources. Very professional, no setbacks of any kind, always working for me! Highly recommend. Tremendous local market knowledge. We continue to stay in touch and I know that I can count on their support for years to come.

I met Delia after I saw her listing on Zillow. Although we did not like that property, we liked Delia enough to ask her to show us other listings. I found her knowledgeable and responsive. She probably showed us 20-30 properties before we found the right one. She guided us through the process and her team gave excellent support through a frenetic closing. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I've known Lisa for over 45 years, and I can tell you she's the real deal. There are a lot of people who get into real estate for the money, and although that's good, I really think Lisa does it as much for the ability to help people and develop friendships along the way. My wife Deanna and I were trying to buy our Florida dream home while living in Indiana, and I'm going to tell you that's not easy! Lisa spent the time in talking with us, to find out exactly what we were looking for and then worked tirelessly to find it. We couldn't have done it without her guidance and support and I know I can speak for Deanna when I say there's not a better person to help you find or sell your home, than Lisa Schowe! :-)

Delia was willing to preview homes and send emails and texts of the property to help me make a decision. She and her assistant sent pictures and measurements to help me. I was in Missouri and making a purchase in Florida, so this was a big help. She is very knowledgeable about construction, systems and neighborhoods in the market she provides service for. I would refer my friends and family to Delia Davidson

I have know Lisa for 50 plus years! Her track record as a professional real estate agent is OFF THE CHARTS and has been for over 18 years! Her knowledge of this industry, attention to detail, work ethic and working to ensure no surprises at the end of a transaction are all what is important to a client! It doesn't get any better than that! I would HIGHLY recommend Lisa for any of your real estate needs, selling or buying!

I decided years ago that I would choose Lisa to handle my home sale, when she moved to this area. I have bought and sold many homes in St Pete and have dealt with many realtors, but when Lisa moved here, knowing how she works, her attention to detail and absolute attention to her clients, I knew that when the time came, I would hire her. That day has come and she performed better than I anticipated. I would recommend her all day long. Simply the BEST!

Delia is by far the best realtor in Saint Petersburg, FL. She is responsive, punctual, and always made time for us whenever we needed her assistance. She is a master negotiator and her focus to detail was absolutely delightful to witness. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for their dream home and will definitely continue to use her expertise and knowledge of the real estate industry.

I recommend Delia Davidson wholeheartedly and unequivocally. We had dealt, previously, with another agent and were getting nowhere quickly. Delia absolutely ATTACKS issues that arise like a bulldog and refuses to let anything stand in the way of her client and the home they want. Her knowledge of the area was only surpassed by her knowing EVERYONE who could help along the way. A roofer? Better insurance? Pool guy? Yard work? Help with the mortgage? Delia knows someone who can help you. Extremely responsive. Extremely good. Extremely knowledgeable. She made the purchase of our new home happen, and that is not an exaggeration!

Delia was great and we highly recommend her. We no longer live in the area and used Delia to help us sell a rental property. She worked very hard throughout the entire process and overcame many obstacles to close the deal. She was relentless. Our property was at the low end of the market, but she continued to focus on it even though there were bigger commissions to be made elsewhere. She handled all of the necessary repairs, got an offer for more than we expected and then pushed it over the finish line. She made it look easy. (but we know it wasn't!)

If you want the best, you found your realtor with Lisa Schowe. She has been with me through the whole process. This was my first home purchase & could not have asked for better professional to guide me through the process. As good as she is, Lisa is even a better person. I would not recommend anyone else.
