Stacey Ricco was wonderful to work with on purchasing our home. We relied on her knowledge and professionalism every step of the way as we are located across the country from where we were buying our home. She was always an advocate for us and negotiated on our behalf. She was patient and explained things very thoroughly as the process in Texas is different than what we are used to. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and we would recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing a home in her area. Thank you, Stacey!

Jules Wilk from the Padre Elite Team was a pleasure to work with. She handled all aspects of selling our condo on South Padre Island. We reside out of state and Jules made the sale easy for us. If you are looking for a super friendly and knowledgeable real estate agent, I highly recommend Jules from the Padre Elite Team.

Jules and the Padre Elite-RE/MAX team got our home staged and listed in record time! In just a few short weeks, we had a contract and closing was a dream, all while we were living several hundred miles away! Thank you Jules and team.

Good communication between our agent Jules and us (the sellers) on all matters relating to property listing, buyer offers, and closing. I worked with Alycen in purchasing this condo four and a half years ago. That positive experience led me to look her up when the time came to sell. Since I live in another state, I wanted a company I could trust to take charge on the ground. Jules guided us through some tricky stuff but it all came out well. Thanks again, ReMax/Padre Elite Team!

Gayle Hood of the Padre Elite team is the hardest working and most informed agent we ever had the pleasure to meet. We have used other agents on other properties, but Padre Elite team is sincerely result driven. We received an offer on our home while repairs were still in process to ready the property for listing. I finished repairs and the next day we closed. The house was not yet listed.
Thanks Gayle for your work ethics and knowledge.

I owned six rental properties on South Padre Island, TX! I decided to liquidate all of them and was referred to Jules Wilks, with RE/MAX Elite! Jules is the best! She is professional, dedicated to her clients needs (me) and just a beautiful person to work with! I wish all Realtor's had her work ethic! She sold two of my properties in 2020 and now the other four ALL closing this May, 2021! She had a lot to keep up with, with four properties closing in the same month, but she made it effortless for me! I would hire Jules again, if I ever find myself buying or selling in S. Padre! Thank you, Jules for a job well done!

We had the pleasure of working with Laurie. She was extremely professional and responsive when needed. She walked us through the buying process given that we were hundreds of miles away. She gave us the best experience possible even we were not able to physically view the property prior to submitting a contract. I highly recommend Laurie when purchasing a property in South Padre Island. She provided a memorable experience!

I have bought and sold about 6 houses in my life, and Jules Wilk was the best seller's agent I ever had. She helped in every aspect of the sale, from organizing pictures, to advertising to soliciting prospective buyers. She advised me on the price, helped with all paperwork when we had a buyer, and solved problems when they cropped up with the buyer's financing. She helped the closing go smoothly. I highly recommend her.

My wife and I were both impressed and very pleased with the professionalism and drive of Gayle Hood who recently listed and sold a condominium of ours on South Padre Island. We had been owners for nearly 30 years and we're finding that the 1700 hundred mile trip from our home in Indiana was not as easy as when we were younger.

Gayle very ably assisted us from start to finish, explaining every step of the process and answering our many questions. Everything went flawlessly and the transaction was completed to our great satisfaction. And the wonderful thing was that we never had to leave our home in Indiana!

If you are interested in selling or buying real estate, you could not be in better hands than by engaging Gayle Hood and her Padre Elite team. We are so glad to have had her vast experience, skill, dedication and integrity put to work for us!

Laurie Howell was my agent in the purchase of my newest condo on South Padre Island. Her level of professionalism should set a precedent. We did the initial showing, with a second walk thru in person, but then everything else was by phone and email over a long distance. I would definitely recommend Padre Elite Team, and would give them more than 5 stars!

From Sharon Tyler: Gayle Hood did an outstanding job for us starting the day we signed on with the Padre Elite Team! She kept us informed every step of the way. She made suggestions when asked, all to our benefit I might add. She and her team worked hand in hand to sell our condo. We would get feed back from her from prospective buyers and the condo was sold QUICK!

From Tim Tyler: Thanks to Gayle and her Team for everything. All was handled in a very professional manner. We consider her to be extremely able. She keeps the ball moving and delivers promptly. I would use her again and would recommend her highly! Thanks, Gayle.

The folks at Padre Elite Team were great to work with. They have been in the South Padre Island area for a long time and they know values and conditions. They steered me away from a property that would have access issues in the future. I appreciate that they had my best interest at heart. I highly recommend them.
