    We have had the pleasure to work with Eduardo and Cindy when we had to rent out our house. Eduardo was at that time our realtor and he handled all the process very professionally and to our utmost satisfaction. The contact was always very … More friendly and helpful. We must admit that we were quiet lost on what we needed to do or what we had to pay attention to, therefore we felt extremely comfortable with the support we got from Eduardo. When we decided to sell our house, we had no doubt that we also wanted to go through this process with house & hive. This time Cindy was our main contact and again it was an extremely well organized and pleasant process. Cindy was kind enough to work us through the process of putting our house on the market, manage all the offers and finally close the deal, although we were traveling abroad and with a 6 hour time difference. At the end we could not happier with the support we got and the result we achieved by selling our house. Cindy has advised in the best possible way, and we highly recommend her and Eduardo to anybody who is looking for the best realtors.

    Cindy was simply amazing. She guided us throughout the process of selling our home making it so smooth and easy. She is knowledgeable and proactive. She anticipates scenarios and provide great recommendations when needed. She was available … More and responsive the entire time. Despite we received multiple offers, she never stopped until our property was officially sold. Look no further if you want a reliable and hard working realtor agent.

    An agent who will go the extra mile
    Cindy and Eduardo helped us with buying and selling in South Florida. Both transactions had their challenges but they stayed on top of the process and advocated for us to make sure they were completed
    … More on time. They know the area and helped educate us about the current market conditions so that our purchase offer was strong. Cindy set up a lot of shows to get our condo sold and Eduardo showed us a lot of properties plus submitted 3 different offers to get us into our next home.They work hard for their clients. They both communicate often and kept us informed. It was a pleasure working with them.

    As a first-time homebuyer, buying property seemed like an impossible task. There are so many steps and ways that a naive buyer can get taken advantage of, and I was overwhelmed by how much I didn't know. From the moment I met Cindy, … More she made me feel at ease. She answered every question with care and never made me feel like I was being a pain. When shopping around, other real estate agents were pushy and lacked patience. Cindy is the complete opposite. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she has no problem standing her ground when negotiating for her client's best interests. Per her recommendation, I used Evan Rosen as my lawyer. It felt like Miami's all-star team had my back. If I am ever in the position to buy property in South Florida again, Cindy will be the only person I consider reaching out to.

    Being in the design industry, I have met and worked with endless realtors. Cindy is on another level entirely. She is without a doubt, the most professional, dedicated, serious and smart realtor in South Florida. I have referred her to … More countless clients and they cannot thank me enough. On a personal note, she sold a condo of mine almost immediately. She was incredible, especially since the condo was flooded with listings. She is the only realtor to work with, the only one.

Cindy was very patient, dedicated, detail oriented and diligent during our entire process. She's highly recommended and instrumental for all your RE needs. Review submitted by Juan & Melanie Marquez (Buyer) on 14 Nov 2022  


Cindy is incredibly responsive, always professional and knows how to keep her clients informed yet calm when the road to closing gets bumpy. She knows her business and either has or finds the resources you need to settle in your new community. She is loved by the people she works with and by these new Florida residents. She is truly a gem! Lori & Joe, July 2022 Verified by RateMyAgent

Eduardo helped us purchase a condo in Florida. He walked us though every step and made the process as smooth as possible. I think he went above and beyond for us - from doing the walk through on our behalf and sending videos to keeping tabs on the loan and HOA approval. He also is very personable and friendly. I highly recommend Eduardo as a realtor.

Eduardo was extremely patient during the entire process, from searches, to showings and the paperwork. He is committed and on top of things and managed to get a last minute showing for the condo I found the same day. He is kind, organized, fun to work with and knowledgeable about the areas and the growing market in those areas. I would highly recommend him as your realtor.Source: realtor.com

Eduardo was very attentive throughout the process. He gets to know his client and then makes area recommendations that may not have been considered prior. He follows up on things from the title to the lender without asking which is quite helpful for those who are unfamiliar with the process.

Eduardo was great throughout the entire process! He made himself available whenever I had questions and made sure the entire process went smoothly! He is a true professional. Thank you again sir!Verified by RateMyAgent


I got lucky to meet Eduardo through my loan originator.  In this seller's market, he was able to make and act on his recommendations quickly.  Furthermore, he is a solid negotiator with seller agents.  In my case, he successfully extended the closing date after being in contract.  Again, very happy with Eduardo and I recommend him.Verified by RateMyAgent

Very professional and kind agent! Alegna is the best real estate associate anyone could ask for! She is extremely kind and considerate of what you're looking for, very flexible, and always available. She answered every question I had, offered genuine advice, and guided me through the entire process of purchasing a home. She is also very professional both with her own clients as well as other realtors/sellers. I will definitely recommend Alegna to others and will be reaching out to her again once I am ready to purchase my next property. Review submitted by Francis Perez (Buyer) on 17 Oct 2021

Cindy knows the market well and was able to teach us the process in a language we could understand. No matter how many times we asked her a question she explained everything throughly. She is extremely professional and I would and do recommend her highly. She was there for us every step of the way and is still checking in to make sure everything is going well. We are so appreciative and grateful to have had her with us during this challenging and emotional process.

Cindy is without a doubt, the best agent I have ever worked with. She is professional, kind and smart. She knows and understands real estate. My apartment listing was competing with many other units in the building and Cindy sold it in just a few weeks! Incredible. She is a gem.

Of all the realtors that have represented us in selling our home no one was as thorough as Cindy Orlinsky. With her ease of communication, persistence, experience, and knowledge Cindy used all resources to sell the house. And SOLD it is.

Amazing Experience!

Cindy is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend working for you. She really cares about her clients as well as the community and neighborhood she lives in. We had the most amazing experience. She was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, cared about us, understood our needs and gave us great ideas throughout the process. 5 stars all around!

"I can't thank you enough for assisting me with my out of state condo purchase. Due to the Covid-19 and travel restrictions you accomplished the impossible when I couldn't be there through your guidance and knowledge, answering all my questions, and making sure every step was completed from beginning to end. Cindy you are amazing at your job and I feel very fortunate to have worked with you because you really care about your clients. Hopefully one day soon to be able to meet, and thank you in person!"  A Review submitted by ANDREA WAGNER, Buyer, The NY Giants, (Buyer)17 Aug 2020


Cindy is an outstanding real estate agent... She helped us through every step of the process in renting our condo as well as selling it. Her experience, knowledge of the market and professionalism exceeded our expectations! Even during COVID Pandemic and difficult new rules and regulations, she managed to rent and sell our condo in Aventura in a few weeks. It rented and sold for exactly what we wanted, with a very smooth and timely close. Thank you so much, Cindy!!! Dina Sverdlov (seller) on 15 Aug 2020


Cindy was so helpful.

"Cindy was great. She provided insight on the South Florida area which was very helpful. We were looking at a second house and she provided instructions and options to assist in making the purchase easy."  Review submitted by the Buyer on 08 Jul 2020


The best of the best! Buying our first home was a long and stressful process, as it usually is for most first time home buyers, but Cindy and her team were always by our side and never gave up on their job of finding us our perfect home. We also enjoyed working with them very much, which made the entire process so much better. Their level of knowledge, professionalism and overall commitment to helping us just made us always feel like we were in great hands. Cindy also dedicated so much time to us, from taking all our phone calls and answering our texts, to showing us houses over the weekend. My wife and I are really thankful she was our agent. We couldn’t have done it without her and her team. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! Thank you Cindy!! You are awesome!

"From the beginning I was scared to sell My house and to buy a new house at the same time. Cindy told me don’t worry she’s going to take care of that. There was a lot of pressure, stress and then she helped me to go through that experience. She helped me to make this process easier. This is why I recognize that she has a lot of experience & if I have to buy a house again I will definitely call Cindy." Review submitted by Sergio Perez & Michel Iba (buyer) on 07 Jul 2020


I can’t express enough how beyond amazing Cindy has been throughout my entire home purchase. Being a first time home buyer I had no idea where to begin, but Cindy guided me effortlessly. I even believe she doubled as my therapist and talked me off the ledge a few times. During this unprecedented time in the world, her professionalism and ability to “get it done” means so much to my husband and I. There has been no better feeling than waking up and having my first cup of coffee in my new home and Cindy gave that to me! I highly recommend her as your next realtor!

Cindy is wonderful, trustworthy & extremely knowledgeable! We can't thank Cindy enough for taking so much time researching homes & her success in finding us our Miami Beach home.  Cindy took our vision & found us a home that is perfect for our family &  our time we plan to spend in Florida!  We look forward to our second residence in Miami Beach & connecting with Cindy again when we are in town!  When you want the best you go to the best.  We highly recommend Cindy for all your real-estate needs.  Phyllis & Charlie,  Aspen, Colorado - March 2020


Cindy was fantastic in every way! Finding a new home during coronavirus pandemic was definitely a challenge but Cindy made everything easy and made herself available to me day and night during this crazy time. She has incredible knowledge of real estate in South Florida and was really amazing at guiding me to areas where she thought I would love to live. It was hard leaving my home where I raised my kids for the past 18 years. But Cindy made me feel excited about the change and buying a new home on my own and I am forever grateful to her. I highly recommend using Cindy to find or sell your home as she is absolutely the best!! - Rachel Alters - April 2020

She is professional, organized, has a pleasant personality, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Our deal was very complex and she remained patient throughout the entire process.

As a Sports Agent, you are constantly dealing with players and coaches needing to relocate. It has been an extremely stressful process for the families. Cindy has been instrumental in removing the stress for my clients. She sold a multi-million dollar home, that had been on the market for over a year (with another broker) in a few months once she became the listing agent. The client is a prominent NFL coach and he will only use and recommend Cindy for any real estate needs. She is extremely diligent, aggressive and thorough in her process. I highly recommend Cindy for all of your real estate needs throughout the Country. You will not be disappointed. - Brian Levy , CEO Goal Line Football - February 2020


"Great Agent.  Lease with her. Bought with her.  Cindy went above and beyond, knowledgeable & I would highly recommend her!"  B. Slomovitz - February 2020


I can’t begin to thank you enough for all you have done. You have made a dream come true!  In May I was getting ready to leave my home at Country Club Estates to spend the summer in New Jersey.  I mentioned that I love our community, but would love to have a house there with a view of the Turnberry golf course.  Today is August 10th, and I still can’t believe all that’s happened.  You found us the perfect home, negotiated the deal, listed and sold our house in 3 days, went to settlement on the old and new house, and moved all our belongings.  I am in New Jersey for the summer, but look forward to returning to our new home in our same community, Country Club Estates, in October. You are not just a realtor- you go out out your way to make things happen.  You made yourself available to meet with contractors and inspectors.  You checked on our house to make sure all was Okay.  You kept on top of anything that needed to be done, so we didn’t have to worry.  You found solutions for anything that was potentially a problem.  When we came down to Florida two days before the movers were scheduled, we were overwhelmed.  You were by our side packing and taking pictures off the walls, and physically helping to move things in your cars to the new house in our neighborhood.  You were not only a realtor and neighbor, but also a friend. Cindy you are amazing!  You live in Country Club Estates and know our neighbors and employees in the community.  You get things done quickly and efficiently.  The best thing is, unlike other realtors, even though our business transactions are done, we will continue to have you as our neighbors and friend!  Thanks again,  Kathy and Sol Sonabend"   August 2018
