“Valerie went above and beyond. She went as far a finding us a place to live while we were searching. Thanks for everything!”

“Valerie is an amazing Realtor. She is very knowledgeable about the business and is great about communicating what is going on with your property!”

“We have purchased three homes using Valerie over the past several years. She conducts herself professionally and if she isn’t certain of the answer, she will research and get back to you promptly. We highly recommend Showcase Properties!“

“Finally, I just wanted to say that you were the only person that acted in a totally professional, compassionate, reasonable, and most of all respectful manner. You deserve the capital “R” in REALTOR. Thank you, and good luck with your other sales.”

“Y-Lo Racing Stables” with Buyer Agent Pam Allen

“We knew the well laid out 60 acre farm (Cardinal Hill) with its spectacular views was the right place for Y-Lo Racing Stables to expand our growing operation in Ocala, Florida. Pam and Valerie worked very well together; communicating effectively, setting up appointments and handling any questions that arose. We are looking forward to our continued growth as our goals and dreams are being fulfilled.”

“Showcase Properties has shown extensive knowledge, dedication, and professionalism when it comes to equine real estate.
We choose them, without hesitation, to buy and sell our properties.”

“Kathy was just awesome. She was very creative in making our deal happen. She was a great at listening and understanding what we needed and I feel like I’ve found a new friend in Kathy!”

“I just want to let you and Valerie know how much I appreciated all you and Kathy did for me regarding the sale and purchase of my homes. Kathy found the absolutely perfect home for me in Stone Creek. She was so willing to show me home after home till we found this one….and you were wonderful helping me with the Home Warranty.  I will certainly recommend Showcase Properties to my friends.“

“Finding Kathy Prater to show my girlfriend, Marcia, and me properties in the Ocala area was the best thing to happen to us. Kathy was very professional and also very caring. She was not someone who just wanted to sell any property. She wanted us to be happy with our selection. Once we found the perfect place, she was right on top of things, getting the inspection, making sure everything needed in Florida was done. My mortgage broker that I had here in Maine (Nick Mullins) was most impressed with Kathy. She was right there faxing and emailing Nick the info that he needed to process the mortgage without any delays. I had a great team with great communication. I was very lucky to find both. I would highly recommend anyone looking for property in Florida to call Kathy.”

Westbourne Capital

“As the Senior Asset Manager for a mid-size fund, I deal with real estate agents and brokers across the country. My job Is largely to stay on top of them and make sure things are running smoothly. Often times I get a good agent, occasionally I get a bad one and need to replace them, but rarely do I get someone who makes my job so easy I can seemingly shift my focus completely off the subject property and focus it elsewhere. This was the case with Kathy Prater…her professionalism, attention to detail, response time (both on the phone and via email), level of concern and interest to our company’s needs and outright desire to do what is absolutely best for us has yet to be matched in my 2+ years with the company. I told my boss that if every agent we had was like Kathy, he would have to cut my pay as I wouldn’t be nearly as needed. She is hands down the best agent I have dealt with and our gratitude could not be overstated.”

“When I made the decision recently to sell my large house and downsize to a smaller one, I had no idea how hard and stressful it would be. It was particularly hard since I was alone after my wife’s passing a year ago and we had lived in the house for 18 years. Fortunately, I followed up on a suggestion to talk to Kathy Prater of Showcase Properties to help me explore options.

Kathy quickly grasped my situation and immediately started work on selling my house and finding me another in my preferred location in town. After prepping my house for sale per recommendations from Kathy, it went on the market and sold in one day! This was great, but it put pressure on finding another one quickly. After finding that nothing was on the market in my desired location Kathy very skillfully guided me in a different direction and helped me change my perspective. The house that she found turned out to be a perfect one for my current needs and she used her skills to negotiate a very good deal for me.

Kathy is not only an excellent realtor with a wealth of knowledge and experience, she is a genuinely nice person who makes the stressful buying and selling process much easier. Although I hope that it will be a long time before I have to do this again, I will not hesitate to call Kathy for help. Thank you, Kathy!”

“Roger and I want to thank Kathy from the bottom of our hearts for working so hard to make our dream of owning a house in Florida come true. Her tenacity and strength got us through, not to mention her fabulous gift of laughter. There are no words to fully describe Kathy Prater. She is top notch in the real estate world, and we’ve known others. Her hard work, ability to sense our needs, and “never give up” attitude are unmatched. She’s a true professional with a gift of humor and wit. Showcase has a gem; don’t let her ever leave.”

“Kathy is a very good communicator, she stays in touch and kept me informed.”

“I found Kathy to be both informative and helpful throughout the entire selling process. I also wish to note that she seemed to go out of her way to make sure we would be happy with our outcome!”

“Valerie introduced us to Kathy Prater and we could not have been more pleased. Kathy’s not only a dedicated, customer oriented real estate agent, she’s also a good person and that equates to trust and confidence on our part. She worked tirelessly to try and find us a home that met all of our criteria.

While we ended up moving to Fort Myers instead of Ocala, Kathy Prater stands out in our minds for three reasons.  First, our experience with her was the most positive thing we experienced while in Ocala.  Second, she’s an outstanding representative of Showcase Properties and the quality people Valerie hires. Finally, her friendly personality immediately made me comfortable with her and that’s almost impossible for somebody to do.

Kathy Prater gets 5 stars.”

“Amazing! Kathy is one of the hardest working realtors I have ever met. She treated me like family when I was buying my very first home. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect with my home.
I recommend her to all home buyers because once you are her client, a.k.a. part of her family, she sees you through to the end. I am so thankful that I met her on my home buying journey. She responds quickly to emails, texts, and calls, and has a great personality! She’s truly a real estate angel and they don’t make many like her! Showcase is lucky to have Kathy on their team!” 

“Kathy in my opinion, is the best of the best. She went way beyond what was expected of her and only with her help did we get this home we so wanted. She was always on the ball, texting , calling to keep me informed of the process, if something came up and we didn’t understand what to do or who to talk to she was right there making this a very good experience for both John and I. I can tell you this, we will highly recommend Kathy to all our friends and relatives, who needs a great realtor for buying or selling.” 

“Kathy Prater is highly knowledgeable about properties in the Ocala/Marion county area, especially equine farms and homes. The marketing professionals at Showcase cover every possible media outlet with beautiful photography, drone videos, along with an experienced, cheerful, motivated team dedicated to the best possible result for your property”.

“My wife and I could not ask for a better realtor than Kathy Prater she was always on time very thorough with all the things that my wife and I wanted in a house she got us a great price and put us into our Dream House.”

“I simply can’t put into words how amazing ALL of my experiences have been with Showcase, especially my realtor Kathy! Her time, care and expertise were all critical in every purchase I’ve made. She’s guided me to some very incredible homes and I will ALWAYS use Showcase, and Kathy specifically for all my real estate transactions.” 

“I have worked with Dawn in the past, enjoyed working with her again, and will look forward to working with her again in the future.“

“Dawn was most helpful and accommodating! She made the process painless.“

“I am writing this to commend Ms. Dawn Trigg with regard to a recent transaction on behalf of my clients. We interviewed three agencies and selected Ms. Trigg because of her professional presentation and candid, honest demeanor.

During the listing phase, Ms. Trigg did everything possible to put the property in condition for sale and to help put the owners at ease. During the contract phase, Ms. Trigg kept me and my clients informed during every step of the process.

We closed yesterday and everyone seems happy. Again, without Ms. Trigg’s diligence and professionalism, the sale would not have been made. Ms. Trigg is a fine reflection on your organization. I look forward to working with her again soon and will recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with real estate.“

“Dawn was awesome! She is the very best of the best. We will be recommending Dawn to everyone we might know looking for a home!”

“If you are looking for a broker with integrity, honesty, uncompromising work ethics, sincere, and ethics to clients as well as colleagues, look no further. David Williams is your guy!”

“David has a good knowledge base of various aspects of real estate including resales, short sales, investments, and land. He is able to provide a high level of service to facilitate a smooth transaction.”

“We went with Showcase Properties because when we purchased our home we used your services and were very pleased with the agent and the broker at that time. Having a background in real estate, it was an easy process for me, and I already knew what my house would be worth. We did not expect to sell as fast as we did, and to the first people who looked at it, but when you know the value of property and listen to your agent then the process is so much easier. Also curb appeal and de-cluttering is important.

If we ever choose to purchase another home in this area, we would definitely use Showcase Properties and David Williams. He knows the business and does not steer you wrong. We could not be any happier than we are knowing that our home was in good hands during this process.

Thank you once again, and good job.”

“We didn’t really get a chance to thank you for all your hard work, selling our farm and finding our new one. It was really a pleasure and a lot of fun working with you. Buying and selling can be stressful, but you made it easy. We love our new place, and I hope Kim loves hers! Again, Mary, thank you!”

“I have known Mary for several years and knew I could completely trust her with helping my wife and I choose and purchase our first home. Thank you Mary for all of your help – without you we couldn’t have purchased our house! You will definitely be our Real Estate Agent in the future!“

“I just wanted to say you have a gem in Mary Durr. My husband, Lenny, and I were looking for a home for several months before we were referred to Mary and Showcase Properties by our lender. Mary made our search so much easier. We have somewhat unusual taste and our “must have” list was not the easiest thing to accommodate. Mary took it all in stride, was very patient and never let us give up or settle. We have been in our new home for 6 weeks now and we still love it and still love Mary. Thank you Showcase for making our home buying process easy. We would have lost our minds without Mary and you.”

“What can I say about Mary Durr. She is has so much skill and knowledge about the market and what it takes to sell your home that she does it with ease. She is always one step ahead of any problems that might occur with your home. She knew just what to do about every problem that I had with the sale and went above and beyond to fix things. She is one of the most generous, loving, and kind people I have ever met. I had only known her for 2 months when my washing machine quit working. The next thing I know, she is at my house with a washing machine and her husband who unloaded and set it up all free of charge. I have so many stories of her generosity and selflessness and I have only known her for 9 months. Mary is more to me than just a realtor, she’s a close friend. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their house sold quickly with the least amount of problems.”

“5+ Service! Dr. Alker was very professional, timely, patient and willing to listen to our needs.We are very pleased with our purchase.”

“Linda seemed to know better than we did what we were looking for. In an age where a buyer can look at a plethora of properties on line, one tends to think they know which homes to look at. Wrong. Linda showed us a few homes like that and w were way off. She found us the perfect home at the right price. She never tired and did not rest until she found it. THANKS LINDA!!”

“Linda Adamson was a god send. After visiting with us she quickly learned what we were looking for and we finally bought the house we are in now without seeing it other than photos because we had complete faith and confidence in her judgment even though we have known her for a short time. Our relationship did not end with the purchase as she has been more than willing to personally take Barb and I around to several shopping areas that she knew we had interest in and is always asking is there anything I can do for you. I have had several real estate transactions over the years and this by far as been my best experience.“

We have known Linda Adamson since working with her on our move to Ocala in 2004. She is honest, trustworthy, and dedicated. Even more importantly, she cares for each client individually and personally. That is why so many of us know Linda not only as an excellent real estate agent, but also as a forever friend.

Linda is a great professional realtor with tons of experience. I would suggest using her on any and evety occasion. She goes the extra mile for all of her clients.

I have known Linda since 2006 and found her to be very professional and knowledgeable in the real estate market. I have always recommended clients, family and friends to Linda and they have been 100% satisfied with her service and professionalism.

My experience with Linda Adamson was extensive in years. Choice in choosing Linda wasn’t a factor after our relationship built itself on many pure facets … Trust developed quickly with her commitment and honor to the seller; “Myself.” She also in my experience, helped in the great relationship built that I have with the buyer of my home.
Quality of integrity was never questioned but strengthened with the knowledge base she held in Real Estate and also Property Management.
Expectations on every level were not only met but exceeded with the creativeness of her position, continuity, clear and concise judgment of the sale. Our motto together. .. ; “A
Win~Win!”
“What impressed me the most about Linda?” “Need I say more?”
Not only a friend but even a stranger … , I’d let them know, if they wanted a Real Estate Agent that goes beyond the means of his or her position in the real estate business, with Linda’s abilities and knowledge she totally understands the processes and procedures within and outside of her control. .. , she is relentless and never stops! She commands stability within her means and a can~do attitude when the other “professionals” in the business need a nudge! Anyone that has Linda Adamson for their agent; “Well … , their just very fortunate to have her!”

I have known Linda Adamson since 2006. She has helped us in the purchase of a home in On Top of The World and the rental and a subsequent sale of a Villa that we owned in On Top of The World. She is very competent and and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to sell or purchase a property in Marion County.

It was 2010 and I was looking for a place to live in Ocala Fl. At the time I was living in Apopka FL I made contact with Linda Adamson through On Top of the World Communities. I made several trips to Ocala and each time meeting with Linda. She was very giving of her time and energy to show me many homes to choose from based on my numbers. I think Linda would have driven me around all day and evening just to show me homes. Linda always kept in touch with me via email and telephone to inform me of new properties that were coming on the market. Her dedication and perseverance made me very relaxed when it came time to choose the right home for me. I have recommended Linda Adamson to many of by friends and professionals who were looking to move to the Ocala Florida area. Linda found me the perfect home and I was very grateful to her. She is a true professional in the real estate market. We have been friends ever since.

Linda provided excellent customer service for me and my wife while we were renting a property in Ocala. She was always available and promptly responded to our concerns. Linda’s professionalism and integrity is exceptional.

I have worked with Linda Adamson for years and she a dedicated professional and an excellent real estate agent. Linda is trustworthy, knowledgeable, hard working and passionate about her work.

My husband and I both highly recommend Linda Adamson as an excellent real estate agent. We have lived in Ocala (On Top of The World) for 5 years. We have been fortunate to have had Linda as our agent a few times … while looking for a home for friends of ours from Minnesota and when we recently sold our villa and moved to a ‘free standing home’ in our community. Linda is knowledgable, professional, friendly, and she ‘goes the extra mile’ for her clients. Linda not only met our expectations….she exceeded them. A job well done!!!

I recently sold my home of 15 years, in the Bent Tree subdivision, Ocala, FL.  When looking for a Real Estate professional there were several factors I considered. The characteristics I was looking for was someone who was ethical, honest, knowledgeable and experienced.  I have known Linda Adamson for several years, and she definitely met these qualifications.  She has been an active member of her community for at least 22 years, having served on her homeowners association board, a member of the Moose Lodge, and a volunteer as a guardian ad litem to help children in need.  Over the years she has been my “go to” person when I had questions regarding issues in county government.  She was instrumental in helping homeowners when a new subdivision put in a 10 foot retaining wall that would be a danger to children playing in their backyards.  She helped ensure there would be fencing that allowed children to play in their yards safely.

Linda was prompt, efficient, courteous and professional throughout the sales transactions.  She would tell you her opinion when asked, offer advice, but was never pushy with our decisions. She arranged for professional photographs of our home.  The wonderful description she posted on the MLS brought multiple showings the day the listing came out.  She was present for the photographer, inspections and every showing.  She offered details to buyers  that helped us receive a total of 7 offers, several of which were over the listing price.  She followed up on all paperwork and went above and beyond to assure every document was received at the Title Company in a timely manner.

Linda definitely possesses the knowledge, experience and professionalism I was looking for in a Real Estate professional.  I would highly recommend her, and partner with her anytime.

She was wise, completely through, patient, effective. Highly recommended. We went through many lookers and she was patient until the right buyer appeared. She is led by God. You can trust her. Most value out of my house. Highly recommend.

Roxanne did an outstanding job assisting me in finding a home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home! She is also very knowledgable on the local market which was a huge benefit for me purchasing my first house.
