Aaron & Val with Island Pineapple Realty are beyond 5 stars. They helped us sell and buy a home at the same time. As overwhelmed as I was, both were not only a hand to lift me up when I felt like I was drowning, but also a shoulder to lean on and a kind, reassuring voice letting us know that we are not alone. They never made us feel like we were not important, they answered all of our questions and helped make sure that we were educated and felt comfortable with every step. With the sale of our old home, they helped us with staging and helped us get top dollar for the purchase of our new home. With our new home, both Aaron & Val made sure that all of our boxes were checked and that our new home was one that was solid and our forever home. They make sure that you are heard. They are a great addition to our community and provide a true 5 star service. They have connections in every aspect of both selling and buying that are beyond helpful. THANK YOU AARON & VAL!! Thank You are two little words that mean so much.
There are not enough words to express our appreciation for Valerie and Aaron. Their kindness, their professionalism, and their patience with me was simply amazing. They never gave up and they were always so positive. It was a difficult market, but they were always there and would answer any questions I had. They helped us get our home ready and was always willing to pitch in and help us. Not only did we get two amazing realtors but we ended up with two wonderful friends. Thank you so much. God bless you both.
I would recommend this team in a heartbeat. We had open and honest discussions throughout the process of listing and selling the house. With a difficult market they were frank about the circumstances and honest about the viability of various offers we received. Their advice made inspections and closing go smoothly. The most unexpected was when they offered to complete repairs that may have caused a problem. Very professional and personable. Thank you for being the reason we can celebrate closure!
I have worked with many realtors over the years, both selling and buying. I chose to work with Aaron & Valerie Young at Island Pineapple to sell my home in Indialantic in 2024 based on their knowledge of the area and their personality. I chose very well, Aaron and Valerie were great to work with, their marketing was exceptional and dedication and hard work with open houses as well as helping to get an article in the local paper about my house that drove interest in the property. Most importantly, they are genuine. I strongly recommend Aaron & Valerie to anyone who is looking to sell or buy on the island in Melbourne.
Pick Island Pineapple Realty; you won’t be disappointed! We were so pleased with Aaron and Val and others that helped from their team. This was a very big decision for us. Selling what we thought was our “forever home”. But with the help of Aaron and Val they made the whole process go smooth and calmed our emotions. They were never pushy. I highly recommend listening to Val’s expertise on staging and to declutter what she suggests. It’s worth it! We couldn’t imagine doing this without them. They truly care about us and our home that we had so many memories in!
Island Pineapple Realty helped make our dreams come true! From the beginning of the process to closing, Aaron and Valerie were dedicated to exceeding our expectations. Their expertise aided us in selling our condo in a difficult market, and their persistence and negotiating skills landed us the house we thought was out of reach. They were always just a text away when we had a question and communicated quickly and effectively. We were also able to interact with several other members of their staff and found them all to be knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Island Pineapple!!
Aaron and Valerie were a blessing from soup to nuts. Their patience and acumen are unparalleled. Through the entire process we never once felt anxious and the icing on the cake is that we got exactly what we asked for. We are selling another house in the spring and there is no question who we will hire. This was the easiest sell thanks to Aaron and Valerie.
Aaron and Valerie are one of the Space Coast's best kept secrets. They are transparent and supportive. And they know how to stage a home to sell. Aaron had the patience to work with us for several years as we couldn't find anything worthwhile. We ultimately settled on building in Viera. The build took about 9 months. Aaron helped us find the build we loved, help stage our home to sell (which we did - on time), and helped us find a rental to bridge the time between sale to close on the new home. Throughout our experience, I found Aaron to be a trusted friend. And someone who was willing to navigate us through the dicey moments of real estate. Without a doubt, if I ever moved again, I would partner with Aaron and Valerie. They are one of the best kept secrets in Brevard.
After 291/2 years in Brevard County, my husband and I decided to sell our family home. Aaron and Val were our stronghold by stepping us through the process of preparing the home for sale as well as supporting us right to closing day. Their professionalism, sensitivity plus availability to our needs eased the process that can be a very stressful experience. Thank you Aaron and Val.
Aaron and Val are the absolute best! Val staged our home in Melbourne Beach, then Island Pineapple Realty had a professional photographer take pictures inside and outside, even using a drone for aerial shots! The whole listing was done with attention to every detail in place. An open house the first weekend of our listing resulted in multiple offers. Aaron walked us through every step and even pulled a couple of rabbits out of his hat to make things work throughout the process. Yes, he is also a magician! He is also an ethical broker with a servant’s heart who was willing to part with some of his commission to seal the deal during buyer/seller negotiations. As I said before, attention was given to the last detail. Everything went as smoothly as silk at closing. We loved the title company too! I would recommend Aaron and Val with Island Pineapple Realty for anyone looking to sell or buy a property. They are hands down the very best!
Aaron and the team were wonderful to work with. He was quick with communication which kept me in the loop throughout the process. Moving from another state, his perspective on the market was key in closing the deal. If you are looking for an agent and brokerage to really take care of you, I highly recommend grabbing coffee with Aaron or any of his team!
Valerie and Aaron have been so supportive throughout the process of buying my new home. So many times I was ready to give up. They have done everything in their power to make this happen.
Always available to answer questions. Knows the market. I like using family-run businesses seem to be more "heart" in the transactions. Will use them again and recommend them to friends
Hands down the best Realtor® I’ve ever worked with. Highly responsive, proactive, and resourceful. Aaron and Valerie took all of the stress out of buying.
It's been a real pleasure working with Aaron and Valerie; they are professional, exceptionally nice and friendly, very helpful, and easy to work with. We moved across the country to Indialantic, and they made it easy for us to find the perfect house in an area we fell in love with, within a short amount of time. They were very flexible with our schedule, quick to respond to all of our questions and inquiries (and there were many), and during the purchase transaction, they recommended as well as helped arrange all of the inspections for us since we were still out of town. Aaron was present at the closing of our house while Valerie was still in the hospital with their newborn! We highly recommend Island Pineapple Realty and will be using them for our future housing needs.
Valerie and Aaron did an exceptional job selling our home. We definitely recommend them and would hire them again. Their level of service and attention to detail were well beyond expectations. Every aspect of our house was prepared for the forthcoming sale, so when it actually went on the market, we were astonished by the number of showings and offers
Aaron and Val are really wonderful people personally; professionally they are more than competent and a joy to work with. They are good listeners, willing to think outside of the box, and capable of guiding clients through the sometimes stressful or emotional process. Our property sold quickly and over-appraised value! We are very pleased and will look forward to working with Island Pineapple Realty again.
We are extremely happy that we chose Island Pineapple Reality to help us sell our house. Aaron and Valerie did a wonderful job preparing our home to list it. They were professional and we were always able to communicate with them quickly. We couldn’t believe how fast our home sold. We would highly recommend using them for the sale of your home and we would use them again in the future.
We were referred to Island Pineapple by a work colleague who had worked with Aaron and Valerie Young previously. We were relocating to Melbourne from Northern Virginia due to a job change and knew nothing about the Melbourne real estate market. Aaron spent an afternoon with me on a house-hunting day and showed me many of the main areas and described the character, advantages and disadvantages of each--this was before we had committed to use Island Pineapple. He kept in touch with me over the next several weeks until both my wife and I were able to get down to Melbourne. On our next visit, we looked at six houses and found the right one at the last stop of the day. Throughout the purchase process, Aaron and Valerie were on top of all the steps, kept us informed, and responded quickly, even though this was in the midst of the COVID pandemic. We also appreciated the referral to our mortgage broker (Julio Pineda at Nexa Mortgage). We remain very pleased with the service we received at Island Pineapple and would not hesitate to recommend Aaron and Valerie and their firm to anyone.
We had the pleasure of dealing with Aaron and Valerie for the purchase of our home in Indialantic. We had to do the search from Atlanta as it was the early stages of COVID-19 and traveling back and forth was difficult. Aaron went above and beyond to make us comfortable with the property from making a thorough walk-through video and helping arrange all relevant inspections and repairs for purchase for us. Even the experience of moving in was exceptional. We arrived before our belongings and they ensured our family had everything necessary to get through the first few nights including a (what should be trademarked) pineapple! From start to finish we were more than impressed. This was our fifth move in the last seven years - so we have had plenty of experience with real estate agencies and agents. Hands down Aaron, Valerie, and the entire Island Pineapple Realty team are the best in the business! If you are looking for a company that will look after you and make the entire process seamless and even enjoyable, make sure you contact these guys first.
If you are considering buying or selling your home, understand that your choice in Realtor® makes all the difference in both profit AND your overall experience. I've conducted business with many of Brevard's agents and I have to say that Valerie Young and Aaron Young (owners of Island Pineapple Realty) are hands down the best in the business. Their level of professionalism, knowledge, patience, sincerity, and thoroughness is absolutely unmatched. Time and again I was shocked at how far they went to ensure that very little stress befell me during this process. I'm not used to this sort of attention to detail and sincere helpfulness with Realtors®. It was not about their paycheck, it was all about my experience and I totally felt that! I was BLOWN AWAY by their service and if I could, would have paid them 3x the commission on the sale of my property. They're THAT good. If you're considering selling or looking to find your forever home on the Space Coast, give Valerie and Aaron a call. It will be the difference between a stressful versus simple (and lucrative) transaction!
We listed our home during the beginning of the pandemic when everything shut down. We were anxious and stressed as we needed to sell in a timely manner and weren’t sure what would happen with the market. Thanks to Valerie Young and Aaron Young with Island Pineapple Realty for finding a buyer in one day. Our realtors took amazing pictures and staged our home perfectly. Not to mention helping us clean, organize, and repair all up until the end. Aaron and Val were truly hard workers and a pleasure to work with. Thank you.
Great experience! Aaron and Val are top-notch - trustworthy, honest, hard-working. They handled both the sale of my house and the purchase of another house and were a step ahead of me the whole time. A freak storm blew out the screen on the house I was selling just hours before closing. Aaron had it fixed before I even knew it happened. Completely laid back, nice people + expert agents = happy.
Aaron and Valerie are by far the most professional Realtors® in the area. They are honest, ethical, and all-around great people! We were amazed at how far above both Valerie and Aaron went with both selling our house and buying us a forever home. When it came to selling Valerie and the team went above and beyond, staging, and coordinating every step, they left nothing out. Looking for a home in this market can be competitive but having Aaron on our side negotiating, we were able to secure the perfect home! Thank you Valerie and Aaron for the least stressful home selling and buying experience! We will be recommending you to everyone we know!
Working with Aaron and Valerie gave us so much confidence during the home selling process, as we needed to relocate out of state. They had our home painted and beautifully staged, which positioned our home to sell quickly and at max value. Because of their presentation, the open house visitors thought the home was a brand new model, but it was just 6 years "new." Navigating a changing market can be rough, which is why it was so important to us to have people we could trust to guide us through the selling process.
