VACATION RENTAL CLIENTS… TURNED PROPERTY OWNERS!
“We met Todd & Maria in Feb.'10 when we rented one of the condos they managed. We were very well taken care of and impressed by their honesty, commitment and over all down to earth nature. We love the DR & they were generous enough to show us around and take us thru other rental properties in other areas, as well as the area we were in, so we could plan for our next year’s visit. It never seemed to be an inconvenience and we got to spend some time with them outside of their busy schedules. When we left after a month and got back to B.C.Canada, all we could think of was the great time we had & wonderful friends we had just met. We immediately got in touch with Todd & booked for two months next year. But...we couldn't get it out of our minds the condos Maria had showed us for sale and thru several emails with Maria & Todd we ACTUALLY purchased a 2 bedroom condo in Santa Maria I. Maria provided pictures of everything from the front door to closet doors...it was amazing. Anything we asked she provided. She was there every step of the way. We are planning to stay in our own NEW place this October 2010 and can’t wait to add some special decorating touches. We will then be offering it as a vacation rental to others when we are not there, and of course, securing on-site property management and booking services with Reliable Property Management”.

PURCHASED UNDER-CONSTRUCTION CONDO- EL CORTECITO, DR
“Maria, words fall short of describing just how fortunate and happy we are to have met you. Through your hard work, dedication, knowledge, and most importantly your integrity and bubbly, engaging personality; you took what could easily have been four days of anxiety ridden, hand wringing, Hell in Paradise, and INSURED our "power shopping" trip was a thoroughly enjoyable process, resulting in the realization of a lifelong dream for Dot and I. The stars were certainly in alignment. We found the best condo available with the best deal and were able to work with the best people, (developer, lawyer, and banker); all thanks to the VERY, VERY BEST real estate agent ... YOU! If you didn't already have a perfect name for your company, I would suggest calling it Larimar, since you certainly are a rare gem of the Dominican Republic. If this all sounds "over the top", it still doesn't come close to reflecting the reality of it. If ANYONE comes to the D.R. and for whatever reason uses any other real estate agent, they are just simply crazy. I will be happy to repeat all of this and much, much more to anyone who wants to know how wonderful it is to work with you, and will be happy to provide my email address upon request through you Maria. Add to all of that, it was so great to meet Todd, and see that you both share the same professionalism and integrity; we are DOUBLE lucky. We are not yet sure if we will rent the condo or not, (probably will), but either way we will certainly put our "Dream House" into his capable hands to manage it when we are not there. We are eagerly looking forward to the future -- having the condo completed, visits south when possible, for long lazy days under the Dominican Sun on a beautiful beach staring at the perfect turquoise ocean ... AND becoming neighbors with our new friends, you and Todd”

PURCHASED FRACTIONAL 3BR PENTHOUSE WITH OCEAN-VIEW – EL CORTECITO, DR "My wife and I have been vacationing in the Dominican for 4 or 5 years and have always had a long term goal of owning property there. We honestly thought that it would probably only be dream till we met Maria. While vacationing in March of 2010 Maria showed us various properties. We had always wanted something on the beach but just could not afford it. She mentioned becoming a fractional owner and showed us a beautiful new penthouse on the beach. We were in awe that we could become a beach owner and afford it. Her committment and passion are second to none. She gave us her total attention even though she could of made much more commisssion by selling us a condo. She knew that was not really what we wanted and in the long run probably would of regretted it. For anyone who is looking to purchase property in the Dominican, you would be making a huge mistake not to go to Todd and Maria Williams. Not only are they our real estate agents, more importantly they are our friends."

TOOK PUNTA CANA ASSESSMENT TOUR OF EL CORTECITO, BAVARO, LOS CORALES, WHITE SANDS "My husband & I have been thinking very seriously of purchasing a vacation/retirement home in the Caribbean. Punta Cana came up in my internet searches, and looked very interesting, so we vacationed there this year (May 2010). We decided to take Maria's assessment tour of the area, as we were totally unfamiliar with it, and we were very much pleased with our time spent with her. She picked us up at our resort, and really showed us not only property, but the towns, and, shopping, from food to furniture. We had lunch at a lovely beachside cafe, a favorite with the locals, and the food was better than at the resort. Thanks to Maria, who is just such a sweetheart, we now have a real feel and flavor of the area, and it is certainly at the top of our list. We're not ready to buy just yet, but when we are, Maria will be our agent of choice. This tour was more than worth the cost, and we would highly recommend it, if you want to see the real Bavaro, El Cortecito, Punta Cana areas. Thanks again Maria for one of my favorite days of our vacation."

Purchased in Palm Suites & secured Property Management Services with our company "We are so lucky to have met Maria and Todd Williams of Reliable Realty DR. They come in once a month and check on our property. Maria and Todd have a cleaner who comes in, runs the taps, checks the air conditioning and humidity and does a thorough clean; she makes sure everything is in good working order. Because of the tropical climate, the humidity alone can really do damage. These are important concerns. We dry-skinned Edmontonian’s sometimes don't realize the challenges of a tropical climate -- mould, mildew, bugs -- and so it's critical to either become informed, take lessons or get help from people in the know. Todd and Maria are from the United States and understand that Canadians often have very different expectations. Our expectations are quite high, yet the Dominican is on island time, which is good in some aspects. We realize the people there aren't ignoring us, they just have different timelines and priorities, yet, Maria and Todd help with this concern when it comes to the seriousness needed when taking care of our second home in the Caribbean. Reliable Realty DR has many properties for sale, as well as short, mid and long term rentals. But the best part is that they can properly manage the properties they sell too”.

“We met Todd and Maria Williams while on vacation in Punta Cana in the summer of '08. We own a condo at El Cortecito beach and needed a property manager. Todd has been managing our unit since. He has proven to be an excellent manager. Very honest professional, ethical and knowledgeable. Together, Todd and Maria have taken our worries of owning a property in another country while taking care of our condo as if it were his. His wife Maria is a US licensed real estate agent selling properties through Reliable Realty DR in Punta Cana, also an honest and dedicated professional. We will highly recommend them both if you are planning to buy or rent in Punta Cana. These are folks that one can truly rely and trust. Thanks guys !!”

“I am a property owner that counts on Reliable Property Management to ensure my rental customers are satisfied and the property is in the best possible condition when rented. Their choice of company name could not be any better. Todd is the best manager I have worked with as an owner of rental properties in the United States and Dominican Republic. They offer a full range of services that I have found indispensable. I am more than satisfied with Reliable Property Management and would recommend them to any owner that demands excellent representation”.

VACATION RENTAL GUESTS (August, 2010) "Exceeding our expectations! We went online to find a rental property for a special birthday vacation with our two adult children but little did we know we would meet two of the greatest people you would ever want to work with in the process. It's sometimes scary to take a leap of faith into the unknown but we could not have asked for anything better. This condo was fabulous, exactly as pictured, with the location truly steps to the turquoise water and white sandy beach. The service we received from Todd and Maria was out of this world. They quickly answered our numerous e-mail questions prior to arrival. When we arrived we had more questions, where to shop, eat, etc. Again their assistance was invaluable. From the moment we met them, they made us feel extremely comfortable and words cannot describe the experience we had in Punta Cana. In these days of dwindling customer service, we can assure you they will do everything possible to make your vacation stay memorable. We are so fortunate to have chosen this property and to have had Todd and Maria to work with. If you want memories to last a lifetime, this is the place for you. We are looking forward to returning to see our new friends! We can't thank you guys enough for all you did in exceeding our expectations!! "

“I live in Miami, FL USA and have trusted my 2-bedroom condo at The Golf Suites inside Cocotal Golf Resort to Reliable Property Management since 2008. Todd and Maria are ambitious with marketing and works so hard to see that my condo is cared for and guests are treated well. When I bought my condo in 2005, I definitely wanted a locally owned, management company to handle my needs rather than a big corporation. Believe me, Reliable Property Management is the BEST in the area. As first-time rental property owner, I was a little nervous about outsourcing my property management to a third party, unsure that they will show as much interest in assuring customer satisfaction, success in rentals, and care in my property as I desire. I only wish I had placed my condo with Todd and Maria in the first place, rather than waste my time and money with a third person on site and myself working from the US trying to get bookings for my property. Todd and Maria have made owning a rental property effortless, profitable, and convenient. I continue to be impressed with the bookings my condo is getting. Their response time to my inquiries is extremely impressive, quick and courteous and their overall customer service is excellent. They do a great job of getting my place rented. Best of all, the fee they charge to manage the property makes owning a rental property a great investment. I highly recommend Reliable Property Management to any property owner in any part of the world. I couldn't be happier with them! Reliable Property Management has been the ideal management company for my needs. I've been ecstatic with the relationship that I have had with them thus far. The customer service they have provided, both to me and the guests that stay in my property. I look forward to a continued relationship with them and would recommend them to anyone looking for great property Management Company at reasonable rates”.

"I just wanted to take this time to enlighten you about a realtor agent I have come across in the last couple of months. Her name is Maria Williams, her professionalism and efficiency is outstanding. For me, it was a relief to find an individual on the island who showed initiative and promptness with each question asked of her. I could go on with my praises but please, if you find yourself in a situation to sell, she's the one to try. Just shoot off one e-mail to her. I am confident you will be happy with her service. You may wonder what I get from this, absolutely nothing. No referral fee or commission, just knowing I did the right thing."
George and Pat Radloff – FLORIDA, U.S.A.
“We were very satisfied with the time and attention that Maria spend with us, helping us to find just the right condo and impressed with her personalized attention and ability to answer the many questions we had. We have a new friend as well as an agent."
Harold & Janet Clark- MICHIGAN, U.S.A.
“Maria maintained close contact during the entire sales process – we never felt alone. All aspects of the sale were handled by Maria, the communication, all the Open Houses, and even the closing was flawless. We would recommend her services to anyone needing a home purchase or sale.”
Dawn Blydenburgh- FLORIDA, U.S.A.
"Marie was extremely professional, helpful, detailed, and diligent in the sale of my home. I was out of state and Marie took care of every detail! She sold my home during a very slow market time. What I especially appreciated was Marie's honesty throughout the process. Everything from how long the sale would take to what the house should look like to best sell in the market. I feel so lucky to have stumbled across such an AWESOME AGENT! Highly recommended!"
Kirk Yamada- MICHIGAN- U.S.A.
“Marie Williams did a really good job of making sure she understood what I was looking for. The great thing about Marie is that she was very patient with me and did not push me to purchase a home I was not interested in. She was also great about not just showing a couple of homes, but quite a few homes. Other agents I worked with in the past only showed me a couple of homes and if I didn't purchase, I felt like I was not important to them anymore. Thanks again Marie. I hope I can make more money to purchase another home with your help in the near future.”
Jim Christopher- MICHIGAN, U.S.A.
“Long after the close of my home my insurance company cancelled my insurance because I forgot to send them photos. In just mentioning this to Marie, she took it upon herself to come out to my home to take these pictures and even sent them from her own computer to my insurance company so I could be reinstated. I consider Maria Williams not only my real estate agent, but my good friend."
Talwanda Thompson – MICHIGAN, U.S.A.
“I always think about how great of a job Marie did as my realtor. I love my house! There haven't been any big surprises. There was a small leak under the sink that was covered by the home protection warranty (thanks Marie for talking me into getting that). It was fixed without any problem and only for the price of the co-pay. We should do dinner sometime! I hope you keep selling houses and making people happy. Take care and God bless."
Dorothy Shepard – MICHIGAN, U.S.A.
