From start to finish, Lance was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests in mind. They did an excellent job guiding me through the selling process, keeping me informed, and making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.
Their attention to detail, streamlined communication, and understanding of the market really stood out. I always felt like I was in good hands and that they were working hard to get the best possible outcome.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for all your hard work and for helping make the sale of my townhome such a positive experience
Lance was very easy to talk to and helped us find our vacation home! He was always quick to respond via text, email or phone and was very accommodating to our schedules as we live out of town. I would highly recommend him to our friends and family and would definitely use him again!
Mari is one of the best people I have had a chance to work with. She helped us find our home so easily. She is kind and fun to work with. She goes above and beyond to help. We are moving to Florida from out of state and she fit us into her schedule seamlessly. She was diligent and very attentive to our needs. She has helped with getting things sorted out even after the home purchase was complete.
Mari Garcia and her team were great! She gave me the right advise and helped me stage the house so that it would be attractive to the buyers. Mari gave my house the attention and dedication needed and my house already had an offer after only 9 days and sold in only a month! I fully recommend Mari Garcia!!
Good communication, clear plan from the beginning.
Mari helped my husband and I secure the purchase of our new home in Palm Harbor. She was honest, responsive and excellent at negotiation! She made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We’ll absolutely use her again, highly recommend!!
James and Rose were awesome every step of the way in the purchase of my mom’s condo in Florida! I helped my mom as she is in Oregon but James and Rose were always there for us, and continue to be even after the sale of the condo. Being on the West Coast both of them were there when we had questions and always able to help. If you’re looking for your next purchase, please consider both of them!
Well, I had my reservations but Lance is a consumate professional. He not only dealt with us at our worst, but continued to check up and make sure we were ok. I like to think I hired a realtor and made a friend. I truly can't come up with a better person in Florida to put your trust in.
We had the honor of working with Maddie Garcia!!! AMAZING is a understatement. We never thought we would find the perfect home, She came through perfectly and was so knowledgeable through the whole entire home buying process, it really made us feel so comfortable, we're so happy we found her cause we almost gave up. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts you made our home dreams come true.
Maddie Garcia was amazing to work with!! She was so knowledgeable and patient. She made our home buying experience unforgettable.
We found Lance through a Google search. We had moved away from the Tampa Bay area and owned a succesful short term rental home that we were now looking to sell. Lance was super responsive and we heard back from him, directly, within minutes of reaching out. He walked us through the process of selling, and specifics with selling a short term rental and the current market. His expertise and knowledge were incredible from the start, and we decided to go with him to sell the property. Even in a tougher selling market with high interest rates and more inventory on the market for buyers, his expertise was clearly evident. We went under contract in just a couple months of being listed, in a market that was quickly shifting. He was relentless in his marketing, so this was proof of his detail oriented approach with each home. No sale is ever "easy" and always has its little details/road bumps that need to be worked out and this is why you need an expert on your side, which Lance was every step of the way, from negotiations to seeing the final sale go through. Could not be happier with Lance and his team. He is responsive, personal, and hands-on! He was our advocate every step of the way, from marketing to final sale, always looking out for our best. Very very pleased and happy.
Working with this team has been an amazing experience from start to finish. I had the pleasure of working specifically with both Lance and Madalyn, and they were both outstanding. They are incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and truly go above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with, and I would highly recommend Lance, Madalyn, and the entire team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Lance is the best in the game. He truly cares about his clients and will not settle for anything less than what's expected from them. He goes way beyond what a "typical" real estate agent does for his clients. My home purchase came with huge obstacles and Lance, along with Andy, handled it without a fret. The Willard Home Team will forever be my FL real estate agency and I will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home
The willard team was outstanding in every way. They guided me through the entire home buying process and sent weekly updates. The team was friendly and very responsive to all my questions. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.
Mari and her team made our experience easy and painless...She went above and beyond in helping us purchase our dream retirement home. Can't say enough about how professional they all were...I'd recommend them to anyone!
I cannot be more positive in my view of the Willard Home Team and especially Mari Garcia.
I began my connection with this group by searching the internet for someone I could trust and I came across The Dave Ramsey organization who led me to Willard who led me to Mari.
My first contact with Mari was two years ago when all I was interested in at the time was what she thought my home would bring on the market at that time. After visiting my home she advised me on the current value, and that started a two year correspondence, with various texts inquiring about my decision to sell along with holiday greetings and other sincere messages offering her help wherever she could.
In April of 2025 I had agreed to a lease/with and option to buy to a couple and Mari was available to help with that when ever she was needed even though that would have cut her out of the deal.
Finally in May of 2026 my wife and I had come to the decision to sell, since the couple that had been leasing was not able to purchase the house at the end of the lease.
My wife and I along with Mari then began the serious process of selling the house which was complicated because the renters could not provide the exact date they would be leaving. However, they did vacate the house before the end date of their lease, but left it with much to clean up before we could show the house. There was furniture left behind to get rid of, there were dead flowers to replant and Mari found people to help with these things as we had already returned to our home out of state.
However, once listed, and followed by an open house, the house sold quickly; however, several offers were traded before an arrangement was finally agreed upon.
Many other situations and delays occurred with the buyer that necessitated numerous emails back and forth and rewriting documents culminating with a final closing date late on June 18th which, because of the holiday, caused the funds transfer to be delayed until June 22nd.
Without the knowledge, experience, and handholding of Mari I am quite certain I would have walked away from this deal on several occasions. To top it off, when the deal was complete, Mari thanked me!
If your looking for a real Real Estate Pro, Mari is your gal!
Team was effective and quick with all the procedures. 10/10 would work with the

I've told so many friends that we hit a gold mine when we chose Lance to find just the right home for us so we can be close to our daughter in Clearwater and son in Tampa. Lance really gets to know his clients. Before anything else we met for coffee so he could educate himself, not only about what type of property or which city we were interested in, not even just what our interests are, but who we are as people. He's responsive, generous with his time and extremely knowledgeable about construction as well as the real estate market.
Great experience, smooth and responsive
Lance is outstanding and we highly recommend him. He is incredibly knowledgeable and caring. Honest, protective and excellent communicator. Top notch negotiator, and problem solver. He is extremely patient and goes over and beyond. We are grateful & think we made a friend for life.
