"I liked Penny from the moment I met her. She was friendly, full of energy, and went above and beyond her duties as an agent MANY times. She answered countless questions (some more than once), always the professional. She was knowledgeable, personable and open to new direction. Clone Penny at VIP Realty. Encourage her type of market approach and knowledge. She is dedicated and loyal. I have already recommended her!"   

 

Keith & Barb Falck ., Naperville, IL

"You are truly a MARVELOUS person to work with!  We truly appreciate your effort and endurance.  We can't imagine there could be a better real estate agent on the face of this earth!  Not only did we get a condo, but a new friend in the process.  One of my favorite verses is, 'Let your light shine before men so they will see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven.'  You truly have a bright light.  Thank you for letting your light shine! May you always have a shell in your pocket and sand on your toes!"

"EXCELLENT!   Jim & Penny worked overtime to accomplish this sale!"

Al & Carol Larson, Excelsior, MN

We found the IslandExpert website and liked the way the information was presented.   We contacted Penny and were pleased with the communication back and forth before we came to look.   We could tell that Penny knew the Island and understood what we were looking for.  She was wonderful, knowledgeable, responsive and helpful.  We couldn't have found any one better.  Everything went smoothly from our 1st communication with Penny to the closing.   We never thought buying a house could be so stress free.

John and Jodi Cirincione, Scotch Plains, NJ

We were personally referred.   Penny was excellent and went above and beyond for us in all aspects of the search and transaction.

"After making my selection of VIP from the internet, I called Jim, cold. Not knowing what I would find. My entire experiences with Jim & Penny have been wonderful. Jim gave us the grand tour of Sanibel/Captiva and changed our minds from Naples to Sanibel. He is a great sales rep and just a real fine gentleman. Jim & Penny Hetmanek are the most professional agents I have ever dealt with. Our buying experience on Sanibel was the BEST."
