Team Terry Story provided me outstanding advice, service, and support in purchasing my new property in Boca Raton, I could not have had a better or smoother experience. To begin, I knew that I wanted to purchase a property in Boca Raton and contacted Team Story on a Saturday morning to see if they could assist me. They took my call right away and, from that initial call to my closing date, treated me as if I were their primary concern (of course they had multiple other clients they were working with, too). I live in Washington, DC and was looking for an investment property in Florida that I could ultimately use as a primary residence, but otherwise I had a very vague idea of what I was looking for. Team Terry Story still took me, a random DC caller with a nebulous idea of buying a property in Florida, onboard and scheduled a video conference with me that brought together several members of their team to discuss my broad real estate goals. During this session, they took the time to expand my understanding of real estate investing and shared knowledge of the Boca Raton area that only a Boca native would know (investing in a house vs a condo, East Boca vs West Boca, rated schools, and so much more). This is one aspect of their service that sets Team Terry Story apart from the other real estate professionals and firms I'd spoken to from Boca Raton and South Florida: Team Terry Story isn’t just pushing property, they want their clients to be completely satisfied with their purchase.
After helping me fine-tune what I was looking for, Team Story utilized an online portal that sent me listings of properties that were available and met my now narrow criteria. The portal was very easy to use. Being a night-owl, I’d investigate these properties sometimes very late at night and contact Team Story very early in the morning to get a jump on the market. When I contacted Team Story at 5:30am, they responded back at 5:30am. Team Terry Story could not be more responsive. And once I found a property I liked, Team Story fought for me. They arranged a house tour and visited the property the same day I expressed interest and FaceTimed me so I could walk the property with them from Washington, DC. When I didn’t end up liking a property, I initially felt ashamed that I’d wasted their time, but no matter, Team Story could not have been more positive throughout the whole process and would just say, “On to the next.”
Team Terry Story’s professionalism has forged strong relationships in the Boca Raton real estate community, and I found that this made all of the difference in my securing a highly sought after property from Sellers the day that it was listed and with scores of other offers on the table. This Team is a group of outstanding professionals who will fight for you, advise you, and provide a seamless and informed buying experience. They will ensure that you land a property you’ll love. I could not recommend...
Read moreAs I relax on the deck of our new Pompano Beach waterfront home for the first time I can't help but reflect on the journey that got us here. My first thought is that there is simply no way we would be here without Team Terry Story!
Buying a home in South Florida is no longer a matter of saving for the down payment, qualifying for a traditional mortgage, making a reasonable offer and going to settlement. The competition for the attention of the seller is insane! Many multiple offers are now the norm and getting your voice and offer heard above the din requires the professionalism, experience, reputation and true grit of an agent like Terry and her team of dedicated colleagues.
The timeframe for offers in this market isn't measured in weeks or even days, it is measured in hours! Homes pop up on searches and are gone before you can get the typical agent on the phone. This is no market to try to buy a property using a friend of a friend who just got their real estate license.
If you want to be successful in your search call Team Terry Story. Their connection to the communities they serve frequently alerts them to the availability of properties before they even hit the market. Their insight into their clients needs eliminates wasted time spent on the wrong property. Their professionalism means your call is returned in what seems to be minutes. Most importantly, their experience will help you craft an offer that will resonate with other real estate professionals and assures it will be evaluated fairly by the seller.
Team Terry Story's commitment to service doesn't end with the acceptance of your offer. This is critical, especially so if you are trying to do this remotely as we were. The myriad details of purchasing a home are anticipated, coordinated and executed with an efficiency that will shock you. Terry and her team know everyone and will guide you through the process of enlisting the help of plumbers, electricians, inspectors or anyone else you may need to help ensure the home you have found is the home you truly want.
I can't say enough about Team Terry Story. If you want to move to South Florida your first move should be giving them a call.
Good luck with...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Terry Story and Michelle Hyde, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They were attentive listeners and always followed up promptly, providing full white-glove service throughout the entire process.
Their local knowledge, especially regarding waterfront properties, was invaluable. They expertly navigated insurance requirements, boating dock considerations, home inspections, and permit reviews with ease.
Terry and Michelle negotiated a fantastic deal for me, maintaining just the right amount of communication to keep me informed without feeling overwhelmed. They were always available to answer any questions I had, and their impeccable references from many members of my local church gave me great confidence in their abilities.
Overall, I would recommend Team Terry Story anytime and anyplace—they are...
