Hover Girls is truly exceptional at what they do. We have worked with Lara and the team at Hover Girls since 2017. Weve been through the process of buying (from out of state), renting our home to tenants, and then selling. They have truly gone above and beyond to help us through it all. From FaceTiming us to show us properties, adjusting their schedules when we were able to get to Florida to house hunt, to finding perfect tenants (we never even had to list our rental- Lara always had perfect people in mind), to always being happy and available to give us sound advice, to selling our home to

Hover Girls Properties may hover but they take off, too! I am not kidding. I felt like I blinked and I brought the property that I wanted. Hover Girls have a unique ability to understand the buyer and seller's perspective that allows for extraordinary negotiations. They have a network that offers you a chance to get loan options and insurance options, swiftly. Their staff is wonderful and do not let you miss any steps that you need to take. Exceptional service!

Truly exceptional, totally professional, and hugely successful for one simple reason: The Hover Girls know the business and focus on their customers' needs. No wasted time, and true commitment to finding a home you'll love. We worked with many realtors over the years - this was hands-down our best experience.

My husband and I recently moved from Germany to FL, and were considering buying a home, even in this crazy market! After talking to Joy, my husband and I were so excited to start the process and also terrified since we didn't know where to start, especially as first time home buyers. Joy set up a Zoom call with us and walked us through the next steps, connected us to an amazing lender and got the process going right away. After arriving in FL, we started working with Lara, who went above and beyond to find us a home that fit what we were looking for, made recommendations, and truly was like a confidant

Working with Lara, Joy, and the rest of the Hovergirl team to purchase our first home was a breeze! We purchased a home in Jax while we were living on the west coast. We needed a realtor we could trust and be 100% honest with us since we could not tour any homes in person.. from our first conversation with Joy, I knew we were in good hands. We went under contract and closed quickly which we werent expecting in this market. 10/10 would recommend the Hovergirl team to anyone and everyone looking to buy in Jacksonville!!

Hover Girl Properties was AMAZING. We bought our home through them, when we moved, they did the property management and when it came time to sell - well, we listed, were under contract and closed in less than 30 days. Lara Yehl is phenomenal. Cannot say enough good things about her professionalism, energy, and just an all around wonderful human being. Cannot recommend Hover Girl Properties strongly enough - they are the best!
