Robert Graeve

“great experience”

“Bob was the pinnacle of professionalism, I'd recommend him to anyone from first time home buyers to seasoned investors.”

“Bob was such a delight to work with. He was very professional, knowledgeable, listened to our wants and desires. Although we did welcome his experienced suggestions. Although the house has been sold , yeah ! we still have a few issues to work out with county permits and Bob is still involved with helping us go through this process , even though his job is done . But he has chosen to help us through it , which is much appreciated ! We wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to anyone interested in selling or buying a home!”

“Mr. Robert Graeve was my realtor who sold my home in just a few days. Most realtors are there to simply sell your home and sign on the dotted line. Not Bob, he went far beyond the call of duty. I had numerous issues that needed to be fixed, and Bob took on each and every one of them with finding all persons needed in order to make my home ready to sell. Bob is a professional gentleman that I would recommend sincerely to anyone needing a realtor. So, my recommendation is: “IF YOU WANT A GREAT JOB, JUST CALL BOB”.”

“Bob explained the sale process in our county and efficiently list my home. He and his staff were able to respond to questions via phone and text within a reasonable time frame. He negotiated a quick sale of my home with relative smoothness. He was very professional to resolve any issue that arose. Other homes in my former neighborhood listed the same time as mine are still for sale 2 months after mine sold. That is proof that Bob is the one to call if you need to sell your home.”

“The most incredibly thoughtful detailed realtor went out of his way to find the most perfect house for me and help coordinate every detail. The process was so easy thanks to Bob and his assistant Karen, they helped with every detail even getting the previous owners phone numbers to help set up all new garage codes and organize all paperwork. The best you will ever find”

“Bob Graeve was my agent on sale of condo. Bob did an exceptional job negotiating and seeing the sale through closing. Bob was very responsive and easy to work with.”

“great realtor sold my place less in less than a month, also checked my mailbox one last time and mailed them to me.went above and beyond in my opinion”

“Bob was always very professional in his demeanor, and without question, his real estate knowledge of our area was exceptional. While COVID-19 created a setback for a short period of time, Bob always had a prospective buyer during this unpredictable time - we were very fortunate that he continued to bring buyers until the right family came along and bought our beautiful home. We can highly recommend Bob to do a great job in selling your home.”

“We just sold our house with Bob and he did a magnificent job for us. Since the first day on the market we saw the difference: so many more views comparing to previous agents. We received the offer after just two weeks. He has the best knowledge of the market, no frills, very reliable, extremely helpful in every details of the closing. He KNOWS and DOES, unlike other people, and does well!!”

“Bob Graeve is an outstanding professional. Easy to talk to, explains the process, knows his market, and delivers. His marketing strategies were on-point.”

“After signing with Bob, high activity began immediately regarding the sale of our home. We listed our home early as we thought it would take a while to sell and in the very early goings we had 3 serious negotiated offers. Bob accomplished this through his sales and marketing organization as we did not have one open house. Of the 3 offers, one pulled out with cold feet, the other received a job offer requiring relocation and the third is now the new proud owner. Bob dealt with all aspects of the three, professionally and with integrity. We certainly made the right decision when we selected Bob to represent us!”

“I rarely write reviews but since I started working with Mr. Robert I knew I wanted to write one at the end of my transactions. I have worked with 4 realtors now and Mr. Robert and Karen (his assistance) have been the best, so helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me sold my townhouse and purchased my single family house in the perfect time frame. He and Karen were even helping the buyer of my townhouse with so many issues. I could not be more thankful with Mr. Robert for helping me on getting my dream home.”

“We hired Bob because he has been selling our neighborhood for decades and he has consistently kept in touch via his useful newsletter that tracks sales in our area along with the key associated metrics. He has a practical matter of fact approach that made communications easy and clear. He has an extensive list of contacts for services you might need before and during the sales process such as handymen, remodelers, cabinet refinishers, and cleaning services. Importantly, he was able to generate excellent traffic for our home and complete the sale. If you are interested in kicking his tires, I'm sure he will be happy to sit down with you for a relaxed conversation as he is well-established and will continue to do well whether you hire him or not.”

“What a wonderful experience it was working with Bob and his team. They were always available to answer questions we had. When a problem came up with the mortgage application Bob and Karen were there to help me work everything out and point me in the right direction. They made buying a house so easy and stress free. We would differently recommend Bob to anyone buying or selling.”

“I can say only good things about Bob Graeve and his team. I would give a 10 star review if that would be possible. His patience, empathy, professionalism and perseverance are priceless. Bob Graeve is the real deal. The sale of our house was a lengthy and complicated process. Two other realtors tried to sell this house before without success. Bob Graeve took the challenge, worked relentlessly, got us through the process and just never gave up. Bob and his right hand Karen Insley took care of literary anything that came up during the process. If you are looking for a realtor who you can trust wholeheartedly, don’t hesitate and call Bob Graeve”

“Bob and Karen are very knowledgeable in the local area and have been very helpful during the entire buyout process and the challenging transition period. Highly Recommended ! Satish P.”

“What a wonderful experience we had with Bob! He made the whole process run smoothly, and went above and beyond with selling our house. Even we we moved across the country before the sale, we didn’t have to worry, as Bob and his team kept us up-to-date throughout, and took care of everything there locally. We highly recommend!”

“Bob worked with my husband and I to find a home we fell in love with. He listened to what was important to us, what we wanted and needed in a home and he found properties which had everything we asked for. He knows the developments and areas extremely well and showed us lovely homes. We narrowed our search down to two homes and made an offer on one which was accepted. We are thrilled and can't wait to move in and start our next chapter in a beautiful new home. I can't say enough good things about Bob. He was available to answer questions any time we reached out. He's a total pro and was fun to work with.”

“Bob was always readily available to answer any question, solve any problem, and suggest useful moves to reach the best outcome for my sale. I have no hesitation in recommending him to serve your interest in offering local real estate.”

“Bob is experienced, knowledgeable and professional. He's sold 2 properties for me. Both is a month or less. Wouldn't use any else! Thanks Bob and team! Would recommend you to anyone needed a realtor!”

“Bob is a pro. He helped us sell our historic home when we were faced with a quick relocation. He showed a strong command for the market, capably priced and marketed our home and got us the offer we needed. We researched several agents and are so glad we had Bob and Illustrated Properties working to help us during our transition. Thank you Bob!”

“We were stuck in the process of selling our home in West Palm Beach. Then....we consulted with Mr. Bob Graeve. Bob was extremely knowledgeable about our neighborhood, which proved to be exactly what was needed to sell our home. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Mr. bob Graeve!”

There were stumbling blocks that almost made the sale impossible during the final two weeks. Bob gave us options and was quite calm when I was totally stressed as we had already made a commitment to purchase our next home. Thanks Bob....”

“We chose Bob based on his many years in the business and his willingness of wanting to help us get the most money for our home. Bob was very helpful during the process and closed on our property very quickly.”

“Bob has been great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. The sale of the house went very smoothly without any hiccups.”

“Joe was amazing! My family and I could not have asked for a better person to help us find our dream home! We got a very difficult loan because we wanted a fixer upper, but did not have the means to be able to pay out of pocket to fix it up. Joe suggested we look into the different loan options for first time home buyers. 'So we did. It was by no means easy and very frustrating because we had a lender who' at first did not know what they were doing but' then Joe came to the rescue and also helped us find a different lender who's numbers were WAY lower and was able to do the job correctly. Even then things went wrong a hurricane hit right before closing but Joe and his team stayed on top of everything for us the entire time! He took everything we had to say into consideration, faught and made sure we closed as soon as possible. He is one of the kindest most understanding and considerate people and the best person to have On your side when making one of the biggest purchases of your life. He will definitely be the only person/team we will ever refer to our friends and family.”

“Liz did a fantastic job helping me buy my first investment property. She was incredibly knowledgeable about both the market and specifics within the community which I was looking.

Thank you for a great experience!”

“Liz was the best realtor we ever could have had on our side as we purchased our first home. She walked us through every step of the process and there were many times where any other realtor would have pushed us into making a decision just to make a sale, but she always looked out for our best interest and treated us as though we were family. Her ethics and knowledge are second to none--no one we would recommend more. She and her partner Joe are great people who work hard for you every step of the way. Thanks so much, guys!”

“We used Bob for a new homesearch when relocating for work from Baltimore. We had a limited number of trips to complete a home search. Bob, was helpful in organizing our trips and fine tuning our focus. He was always on time, well prepared and offered good insight in to things like neighborhood, commute time or local amenities.

I would encourage anyone searching in the Palm Beach market to call on Liz and her supporting office of professionals to give them the job and I'm sure you will be pleased though out the closing.”

Liz was the First to respond and that was her Trademark! Liz was the perfect agent for me. She was on the ball checking for new listings everyday and sending me listings within my criteria. Liz always made time to return my emails, text and or calls. She was a pleasure to work with and we found the best home for my family. I would highly recommend Liz Serra-Vetrano with Illustrated Properties to work for you. She not only found me the perfect home but also offered an A rated team to provide financing, loan closing and moving. In addition, she SOLD my home in Royal Palm beach in just a couple of days. We SOLD, Bought and CLOSED in 30 days. Needless to say having a Great Real Estate agent is the key to easing the stress of moving. Thank you Liz for being the Best!”

She is an amazing person and really worked hard to represent us and make certain that our needs were met. She fought for us with her experience and wisdom, her knowledge of the area, and her unfailing faith and fun. At our age, you don't make friends too often, and not only was she professional, she was strong, encouraging and we believe we have made a good friend.

“Just completed a successful selling transaction with Mr. Graeve. I received five offers within 24 hours of listing the property and had a signed offer within 36 hours. Based on Mr. Grave's due diligence in studying my neighborhood he was able to advise on a practical price from the onset of the listing.

“I am happy to write a recommendation for Bob Graeve. I have known Bob since 2003 when he was my Realtor and helped me and my wife buy a home in Delray Beach. We got what we wanted and at a good price. When we were ready to move into a bigger home he helped us sell the same home, and he had an offer on the table in only 9 days. Great job. Both transactions went off without any problems, and we were happy with the outcome. We would use Bob again when we need to buy or sell real estate. Bob is one of the most hard working, reliable, and honest Realtors out there!!<br/><br/>Matthew & Shannon Lind”
