"Well I'm 65 years old and I've written one review in my entire lifetime. Nevertheless, I'm really happy to convey my wife and my experience working with Judy Horvath.
Judy is a rare pearl in an ocean of real estate agents in Florida. I know because we dealt with several when looking for a retirement home. Her knowledge of the market is unsurpassed! Moreover, she kept us informed about things that can really make a difference to a retiring couple. As an example: She made it a point to understand our budget for our mortgage amounts. We wanted to look at homes in a community setting and she would tell us when she thought association dues were "in line" and "out of line". She would also help us figure out what the new taxes would be on the properties we were looking at. She would remind us that the taxes the seller was currently paying on the house would not necessarily be the taxes we would pay, especially if the sellers were under Homestead.
In short Judy wants you to e"

"This is our second transaction with Judy and she has never let us down. Persistent and knowledgeable, she has a keen insight into her clients and puts their needs in the forefront of the property search. Thank you Judy for your patience and getting us to closing regardless of challenges."
-Ronald Brown, Client
"I didn't really know what to expect having never purchased a home before. There was one down the street and Judy was the first person to contact me from my interest on Zillow. She's absolutely great to work with, and really handled my needs as a first time home buyer. After we met and started working together towards my purchase, I never once considered looking for another agent."

"Judy Horvath is THE realtor you WANT to work with. She combines professionalism, local knowledge, hard work and passion in all that she does for you. She is that rare individual that actually goes the extra mile for you, and will work tirelessly until you are happy. I had the pleasure of purchasing a condo from her, which was her listing; being new to the area, she did not hesitate to jump in with answers and recommendations for all the questions I had. She made the buying process completely easy, and I was impressed from Day 1. You can and should trust your experience to her; you will truly be in good, dedicated, knowledgeable hands."

"Amazing experience with Judy! Highly recommend. I was a first time homebuyer and she was so great with helping me understand the process. She is knowledgeable on the St. Petersburg market and helped me to find the right house for me. Always available to answer my questions and quickly returned my texts and calls. One thing in particular I appreciated about Judy was that she fought for my best interest. Once under contract the process went through smoothly due to her hard work."
-Devon, Client
"Several life changes created a situation where I was in need of home to rent and had no clue where to start. Ms. Madsen listened to my personal situation and specific needs then, asked some very pertinent questions about what I wanted for my lifestyle. She is a great communicator and knows her market. She was patient and available within the confines of my crazy schedule. So grateful that Alice lifted the burden of hunting for a home. I was again impressed when she followed up months after I had moved to ask how it was going. I will use her again when I am ready to purchase."

"Diligent and innovative, would highly recommend Judy and use her again. Her marketing materials and team are top-notch. She canvassed the community, sent out regular mailings, and promoted my property until it was sold. She handled all parts of the sale from photos and listing to closing."

"The entire process was a wonderful experience. Judy is extraordinarily knowledgeable about available properties and extremely professional in all of her dealings. She helped us find a property that met all of our specifications. She quickly zeroed in on what we were looking for and what were weren't so that we didn't waste time. She insisted on including something in our sales contract, which in the end, saved us thousands of dollars. After we reached a sales agreement, she and her assistant were extremely professional and competent in dealing with the paperwork to get us to the closing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience."

"Judy Horvath and her team of professionals is nothing short of perfection! My wife Stephanie and I had the opportunity to list our home in St Petersburg, FL last month with them. She came highly recommended from our Lakewood Ranch realtors where we had recently bought. This recommendation was very well received in that we had interviewed 3 different realtors to make sure that we were comfortable with our choice for our already dearly missed home. From the moment that she walked into our home, my wife and I could tell that she was the best fit. Judy does not beat around the bush, is honest, and the process was top notch. That was just the beginning! Throughout the process of listing, open house, inspection, and all the way to closing Judy and her team were responsive, communicative, and overall respectful of everyone’s schedule. At the end of the day, we were able to close at $25k over asking and we couldn’t be happier!"
-Jason and Stephanie Brunner, Client
"We are first time home buyers and after working with a couple of realtors, Zillow matched us with Judy. She has been incredibly helpful and flexible with the search for our new home. She explained to us the process, due dates and guided us through every step of the way. She responded to our late night calls and texts and was very patient. With her by our side, we were able to buy our Dream House. Judy is very professional, patient and was always on top of things. We felt like we were in safe hands during the entire process. I would recommend Judy 100% to anyone looking to buy a home! Thank you Judy for everything!"

"Judy went above and beyond in finding us our first home. As first time home buyers, we were a little overwhelmed to even begin the home buying process - luckily, we has Judy Horvath on our side. She was persistent, patient, knowledgeable, personable, reliable - literally could continue on with all her positive attributes she brought to the table. Thanks to Judy, we smoothed sailed through the buying process and are living in a home I couldn’t have even dreamed of. I would recommend Judy 10/10 to anyone and everyone who is interested in purchasing or selling their home. We will for sure be using her again in the future and are forever grateful for all the hard work she put in for our family. We gained not only a beautiful home and a great realtor, but also a great friend. Thanks Judy!"

"Judy and her team is one of the most proactive experienced we have ever encountered. Successfully purchasing a home from out of state in a buyer's market was only feasible because Judy was our realtor. She was very organized , punctual, and on top of everything. We really felt that she was looking out for our best interest and was a strong advocate.

-Lee, Client
"We have purchased and sold our home with Judy and both experiences have been excellent. Several years ago we met Judy at an Open House and she helped us find a home that worked great and was responsive. It was a breath of fresh air because we were already serious about buying, had financing and had purchased homes before but Judy was the first Realtor to fully engage us to help us find our home.
We recently decided to sell our home after our family had grown a bit more and we needed a larger home. Here is where Judy truly helped. Prior to listing the home there were repairs that needed to be made and updates. Judy came by multiple times to give some market insight into what we should do with the home and also helped us line up contractors when needed. When it came time to actually listing the home she did a great job of marketing and showing the home. We had something like 30+ showings in two days, I actually lost count as it was so packed. "
-ryan pew, Client
"My fiancé and I were fortunate enough to work with Judy when buying our first home! She was extremely helpful during every step of the process, especially as this was our first time. She has thorough knowledge of the area, what to look for with regard to the construction of a house, codes applicable to the VA loan so that it will pass, and so on. Her energetic and honest personality was encouraging, and we are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Judy. She always has great recommendations and is a great negotiator. Should we ever need to sell or buy a home again in the future, we will definitely be calling her first! "
-Colleen Kirby, Client
"We recently moved to the area from Dallas, TX. Having moved multiple times within the last 5 years, Judy was a tremendous help navigating the new territory. She was mindful of our wants and needs and great with negotiating. She was prompt with communication and flexible with showings. Judy and Dajana are a great team and we look forward to working with them again in the future!"

"Since the late 1970’s I have had to employ the services of a realtor many times in several different states from New England to Florida. Some of them of course were very good. Yet the best of those pale in comparison to the extent service provided by Judy Horvath and her crew. From teaching how to best showcase you home and prosperity, helping to resolves issues with contractors, rolling up their sleeves to pitch in and help make repairs through the home, and tapping into tradesmen who have established themselves as reliable, trustworthy and providing quality work for her clients. Her office does everything you expect from a quality reality and a whole lot more. Judy’s is a reality on steroids who’s singular focus is to removes all the stops to provide more than just client satisfaction but also get them top dollar, earn their top reputability, top marks and top repeated business and referrals. Among stars they shine the brightest and biggest and for those reasons I rate them 5 st"

"The best way to describe Judy Horvath of the Horvath Group is “consummate professional.” Judy handled every aspect of our home sale in St. Petersburg, FL, from evaluating the house which needed a lot of work before going on the market, recommending the work that needed to be addressed, steering us away from work that was not necessary for the sale, to providing us a list of amazing professionals to assist us with the various projects to be completed. She invested considerable time and effort with no guarantee we would actually sell or even list with her. Her knowledge base of the real estate market in our area was extensive and her suggestions and assistance in getting the house on the market was invaluable. At one point, this impeccably dressed lady was dragging paving stones around the front of the house, repositioning them to get better pictures when the photographer was there. Judy was there every step of the way and, in the end, the house sold in four days. I would highly re"

"Judy went above and beyond to get us our dream home. We dealt with an unprecedented real estate market in addition to the fears of any first time home buyers. Judy helped us every step of the way. She took the time to connect to us personally to the point where we felt like we were her only clients and we had our very own agent on retainer. When it came time to close, I truly believe that she got us a deal no other agent could have gotten. Her compassion and her heart are matched by razor sharp instincts.
There isn't anyone else I would trust to handle something as important as owning a home. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
-Zoey Mae Lowe, Client
"Judy was fantastic- very easy to work with, very accommodating. She knows the Tampa/St Pete area very well, and she had good suggestions for businesses and services I the area. She was not in a hurry for us to purchase a property- she wanted to make sure we found the perfect the property for us. She was willing to show us many properties at times that were convenient to us. She answered every text and question quickly, even after we closed. I highly recommend her to any needing a realtor."

"Judy Horvath sold our Condo in St. Petersburg TWICE. After the first buyer backed our with COVID fears 30 minutes before closing, she immediately picked us up and ran with it again. It sold in less than 10 days in the middle of the current crisis. We could not be more pleased with her professionalism, spirit in getting the job done, and her knoledge of the market. We highly recommend Judy for your St. Petersburg and vicinity real estate needs."

"About 5 years ago I met Judy through Zillow. The buying experience is much to be desired in our area and you will be lucky to get a call back from a realtor but not Judy! She called me back quickly and the house hunt began! She helped me buy my first home which I absolutely loved!
Later we called Judy again when family was looking for a home and yet again when I was ready to sell. There were some hiccups and delays unforeseen along the way but I never once sweated it, Judy is the the real estate super woman and I knew she would handle it! She did open houses, networked and advertised until I had a sold sign in my hands. Never once did I waiver in my decision nor stress about the process in all the challenges that cropped up with my home, she was there through it all and became a dear friend. She will outwork any realtor you will find and always has a plan B if plan A doesn’t work. Judy is the only one I will call for my or my real estate needs!"
-Stephanie Weeks-Pike, Client
"Consider yourself your lucky if you have the good fortune of working with this lady!! She is savvy, professional, and works tirelessly on your behalf. Being new to the area, she was generous with both her time and knowledge to help me negotiate the steps needed to complete the purchase and to make St Pete my permanent residence. I cannot recommend her more, and of all of the real estate transactions that I’ve been through in my life, hers was EASILY the best. I have been singing her praises ever since. Trust her with your needs; she will absolutely get the job done. "

"Judy was wonderful to work with. We recently relocated to the Tampa area from Dallas, TX and had moved 3 times in 3 years before that. We have been through the real estate ringer and can honestly say that Judy is a pro. She searched doggedly for homes to show us, tirelessly researched homes we brought to her, and ultimately helped us get the home we wanted for the price we wanted. She was extremely flexible with scheduling on short notice. Often we would find a home and then look at it same day! Lastly she is a fierce negotiator. There were times I thought she was arguing for her own money and that is the way it should be! We loved working with Judy and Dajana. They are definitely going on our Christmas card mailing list!"

"My father and I have lived in St. Petersburg for 19 years. Having had a house for a couple of years and then moving around after that between apartments, we were ready to find something more stable
The idea in mind was not to buy another house or rent an apartment, but why not look for a condo? We started looking and there weren't many options for a 3 bed condo in the city and area we wanted to stay in. But look no more, here comes Judy with her expertise and knowledge to find us not 1, but 3 different condos to look at with the options we wanted and the price point we wanted to stay in.
After finding one with all the qualities we are looking for, staying within our price point and has the featured amenities in a quiet location we couldn't say no!
Judy made the process so simple and easy going. From start to finish of the whole buying experience, I couldn't recommend Judy more to someone who is looking to buy or rent. Thank you Judy! We love our new home!"
