I would highly recommend Carla Stiver and her team. We listed our home with Stiver First and our home went pending within 20 something days. Carla and her team made the whole process seamless and they are so easy to work with. Carla and Alex are courteous, respectful, prompt to respond and we felt confident that they were on top of the market trends for the Englewood area and beyond. We can not say enough positive things about Carla and her team! Thank you Stiver First!!

It has been a great pleasure working with Carla Stiver and her team in selling my Grandma’s house after she passed. They have an outstanding track record in our area for professionalism and effectiveness. Carla and Alex provided us with comps and an excellent marketing strategy. They took the time to walk through the house and guide us with repairs, staged the home beautifully, held an open house, and priced the home just right for a quick and smooth sale. Carla stayed present while we navigated some challenges and informed us on every detail in a prompt and courteous manner. Not only is Carla a fantastic Realtor - but she is also easy to reach, knowledgeable, honest, and insightful. She also contributes to many important causes and is active in the community. Thank you for making such a bittersweet time in our lives so easy.

I cannot tell you enough how badly you need to have Sandy Strickler as your realtor! She had answers to every question I had or could get me one within minutes. She was extremely responsive and on top of everything! Even the paperwork she needed from me was already filled out just waiting for my signature. Easiest and fastest closing I have ever experienced with no bumps along the way. If she isn't on your team you have no idea what you're missing.

It's was my first time working with Stiver Firth and WOW they went ABOVE AND BEYOND! Sandy Strickler and Carla Stiver were fantastic. I was not very familiar with the area or purchasing an older home and they made sure I had all the information I needed to make the right decision. Sandy was a huge help in getting me insurance coverage information. They both provided a lot of insight and information about the area and age of home I was purchasing. They really know what they are doing! They were always available for me when I had questions by phone, text or email. I'm so impressed and will recommend them to everyone. Thanks again, Sandy and Carla!

Alex and Carla are total professionals. We have bought and sold real estate many times and they are in the "very best" category. The process from first meeting through closing was effortless and as straightforward as possible. They responded to questions almost immediately, and provided expert advice at all stages of sales process. We highly recommend Alex and Carla (and Stiver Firth Team) if you are selling a home in the Southwest Florida area!

I can’t say enough good things about Carla Stiver and Alex Chirillo! They were wonderful to work with. Their expertise and professionalism helped our house sell quickly – in fact, we received two offers the second day the house was on the market! In addition to that, Carla and Alex are genuinely nice and caring people. It was truly a pleasure working with them and getting to know them!

If you were to describe the perfect realtor to sell your home, you'd probably say something like this: I want someone who is honest and ethical, I can trust like a family member, will represent my best interests, and will make the experience as pleasant and non-stressful as possible. Well, that sums up my feelings about my Stiver First International team of Carla and Alex. Their professional video showing of my house brought in top dollar, making me feel like I got great value for the commission they received. I wouldn't consider anyone else.

Purchasing a home can be stressful. Purchasing a home when you are out of state….well, that was something we weren’t sure we could pull it off. It was a risk that we were taking, getting in touch with an agent based solely on her reviews. Once we spoke with Sandy on the phone, we knew we had made the right choice! She proved to be not only an outstanding agent, but someone that we could count on beyond the point of sale.

Sandy knew we only had one weekend to look at houses. She gave us lots of choices before we arrived in Florida, and guided us while we were making our final selections. She was very organized! We looked at homes back to back and Sandy kept us on track. She kept us focused on the points that mattered to us the most in a home and in the end, we purchased our dream home!

But Sandy didn’t stop there! One of the contingencies was that we could pick the new back-splash for the kitchen. Being in New York and buying a home in Florida meant that we would have to choose the back-splash online. Sandy went above and beyond for us by going to the tile place and using FaceTime so that we could choose the right back-splash! We could not have done it without her help. She was honest and we really appreciate her professional opinion. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to come to Florida for the final walk through. The closing on the house had to be done remote. Again, Sandy went above and beyond for us, being “our eyes” to make sure the house was OK and even recommended a house watcher for us until we can get down there.

We would recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a home, whether you live local or thousands of miles away. She took the stress out of buying a home. We didn’t just find an agent; we made a new friend!
