Taylor Morrison - Vice President

Virginia is one of the finest sales people I have had the pleasure to manage. Although she is a self-starter and required very little management intervention, any suggestions made to Virginia were accepted and carried out with perfection. Her high energy level is contagious. She has a winning attitude and is extremely customer-service oriented.

Throughout our collaboration, Virginia Bond demonstrated a remarkable level of expertise, dedication, and integrity. Her attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and commitment to providing outstanding service to her clients were truly impressive. It was a pleasure to work alongside Virginia Bond, and I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in any real estate endeavors she undertakes. I wholeheartedly endorse Virginia Bond and believe that she would be a valuable asset to any real estate team or project.
Juan Luque

I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Virginia Bond for over 18 years in the dynamic real estate sector. As the founder of 3DUS, a marketing agency specializing in real estate visualization, I have worked closely with Virginia on numerous marketing campaigns aimed at selling luxury developments in the Tampa Bay area. Virginia is a consummate professional renowned for her integrity and innovative strategies. Her approach to reaching potential clients is not only smart but highly effective, leveraging her deep understanding of the market to deliver exceptional results. Her personality truly shines in her interactions, making her a favorite among clients and colleagues alike. One of Virginia's standout qualities is her fearlessness in the face of challenges. She is committed to excellence, consistently going beyond the conventional to introduce fresh, creative ideas at the negotiation table. This ability to think outside the box has been instrumental in the success of our projects, setting her apart in a competitive industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Virginia to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly capable real estate broker. Her track record speaks volumes, and her unique blend of charm, intelligence, and boldness is sure to be an asset in any endeavor.
Brian Funk

Stonelake Ranch Developer

Virginia Bond and I worked together at Stonelake Ranch from 2011-2021. Specifically, I was the General Manager for the Developer and she was the Lead Salesperson from Keller Williams. Virginia and her team managed the day-to -day sales functions at the Sales Center through project sell-out in March of 2021. Over the course of ten years, I had the opportunity to work closely with Virginia and have seen firsthand, her industry knowledge, likability, reasonableness, and integrity. Calling upon so many skill sets, Virginia created a sales environment that invariably got deals done and with satisfied parties on both sides. Whether it was preparing comps, following up with clients or leads, updating marketing efforts, hosting open houses, coordinating with title companies and other agents, Virginia could always be counted on to offer the highest level of service to her clients and fellow professionals. It is an honor to have had the opportunity to work with Virginia Bond. The level of service and commitment she brought to our project was critical in our success. She will be an immediate asset to any organization lucky enough to work with her and I am happy to offer my full recommendation.
Michael Storey

Former Division President of Taylor Morrison

To Whom it May Concern, It is my pleasure to write in support of Virginia Bond. I spent 45 years in the homebuilding and residential development industry, the past 24 years as President of two, nationally ranked companies with over $700M in revenue and 300+ employees. I worked closely with Ms. Bond during her tenure with Morrison Homes as a Sales Representative where she started with no real estate sales experience. I then personally used her as my listing broker on 4 properties as she moved into general real estate. As is evident, Ms. Bond has excelled throughout her career with many notable accomplishments which I will not repeat here. I will focus on my experiences with Ms. Bond, primarily those related to her real estate sales and management abilities and which demonstrate the qualities necessary for success: strong communicative skills, customer service, organization, excellent technical knowledge, tenacity, and leadership. I have observed Ms. Bond in both the corporate and independent sales world, watched her learn the business and hone her abilities, and overseen her performance. In addition to considerable intellect and exemplary results, Ms. Bond is a warm, genuine, engaging individual who leads others by example, is inclusive, and consistently exhibits curiosity and motivation to learn. She comes prepared for all types of situations, perseveres to succeed, and maintains requisite flexibility to adapt to ever changing situations. Ms. Bond is articulate, well‐read, and able to utilize her communication skills to excel in every environment. Virginia went from a sales trainee to top performer in an impressively short period of time all while being a good team member, caring for those she served, and being a pleasure to know. One of her strongest traits is a motivation to always learn, improve, and seek excellence in her personal results. Her strongest internal motivator is to serve others, raise the bar they set in order to exceed expectations, and ultimately, earn approval for her results. As mentioned, I was so impressed that I utilized Ms. Bond on multiple occasions to sell my own properties and those of direct family members. And, on several occasions, referring her services to others. In every case, her personal integrity and sales ability produced excellent results. In conclusion, I am happy to give Ms. Bond my highest recommendation for any endeavor she pursues. In my experience, she is in the top 10% of all real estate sales professionals with whom I have worked over the past 45 years. If you have any additional questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Virginia has both "business savvy" and the ability to "connect" with her clients like no one else. She is a natural in the real estate industry, but has abilities far beyond the challenges she has assumed to date.

Virginia was superb as our realtor. She not only helped us find a great location, she was an expert on the community and helped us to establish our family in the community. She is highly regarded in our family and we would use her again in the future.

“Having bought and sold a number of homes and investment properties we were so happy to (finally!) find a Realtor like Virginia Bond. Virginia gave us spot on advice and helped us navigate around some tricky buyers. Virginia’s communication was always proactive, responsive, and timely. Her support team is top notch. Virginia elegantly managed every detail. She even gave us great paint color recommendations. Not only was she easy to deal with, Virginia got us more money than we had anticipated! I highly recommend Virginia Bond!”

Working with Aaron was a complete pleasure. He helped in every way possible from start to finish even when things seemed impossible. He allowed us to enjoy the process of buying a home rather than it seem like a daunting task. By the end of the search we were overwhelmed with joy and it was largely to do with Aaron’s expertise and diligence. You found us the forever dream homeThank you so much! Pleasure doing business with you wonderful Bonds again
Darrell Ledet

V.A. Loan Buyer

As soon as I spoke with Aaron I was impressed with his ability to get my needs met sooner than any other realtor I had ever used. In fact, the very first home I looked at I ended up making an offer on and purchased the property with my VA Loan - along with help from him with the loan officer he suggested. Also he recommended a good inspector and my home was done in only a few days. Getting in touch with him at any time was an easy phone call away and his knowledge of the computer paperwork was top notch. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a 'GREAT' realtor!
Adib Barsoum
