I chose Engel & Völkers Tampa Downtown because of the brokerage’s strong commitment to professionalism, luxury service, and global reach, which align closely with my own vision for real estate. In speaking with the "Managing Broker, I felt a genuine passion for collaboration and mentorship that made me confident in the support I’ll receive to grow my business. Additionally, the innovative marketing strategies and worldwide brand recognition stood out as key factors that will allow me to best serve my clients."

"Partnering with EV Tampa Downtown as my new brokerage was a necessity in order for me to properly support my team members so that we could service our clients. Their vision and resources directly support us in setting and superseding our clients’ expectations of service. The brand’s innovative marketing, global reach, and commitment to excellence allow us to market real estate at a higher level and connect with a broader audience."

Virginia and Aaron bring exceptional expertise to the real estate industry, with deep knowledge of both the broader market and the specific dynamics of Tampa. Their strategic approach to marketing and strong online presence reflect a high level of professionalism and commitment to excellence. They are outstanding representatives of the Engel & Völkers brand.

I am an Engel & Volkers Advisor in Ocala, FL. I know Virginia Bond personally....her energy is infectious and her expertise in her local market is unmatched! Behind her is an amazing team of professionals that are always happy to help in every way possible! As an E&V Advisor, anyone looking to buy or sell in the Tampa area should absolutely contact her!

"Very professional friends highly recommended Engel & Völkers, especially Aaron and Virginia Bond. I see the difference in quality they provide to their clients which has empowered me to do even more for my customers. I want to work with a brand that acknowledges my exceptional service and help me grow into an even more defined advisor."

"I was very impressed with Aaron and Virginia Bond and how they conducted business during our recent shared transaction. They were extremely professional and communicated at a high level. I was also impressed by the quality of the email and marketing communication I received from them during that transaction. It was obvious that we had a shared vision and strong focus on client service. Later, I learned that they operate their own local Engel & Völkers shop, and that we already had many personal connections in common – all of whom spoke highly of Aaron and Virginia. Once I visited their shop and understood what Engel & Völkers has to offer – a culture of high standards, amazing support, and top-tier technology – it became an easy decision."

"I have always envisioned myself selling luxury real estate in a rapidly growing market, and Downtown Tampa offers an ideal location for that. I connected with Aaron Bond via email while in my hometown in upstate New York. He gave me a call that same hour—much sooner than I expected—which left a strong professional impression on me. The way Aaron and Virginia Bond carry themselves as owners and mentors is highly inspiring, particularly their organizational skills and balance of responsibilities are qualities I strive to reflect in my own career. This, along with EV's well-established brand image and vast advertising potential, ultimately drew me to EV Tampa Downtown.”

We had a 2 acre lot in an exclusive community to sell and I researched which agents had the most experience in that community and Virginia was tops hands down. We listed with her and have no regrets: she was fast, very professional and quickly got us a good price and a smooth closing. I would definitely recommend her!

With the assistance of Virginia and Aaron our house was sold in one day with an offer over asking price. Their service was impeccable.

“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!”

I am writing this letter to highly recommend Virginia Bond as an exceptional realtor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Virginia is a great professional. My friends and I have used her services as a Realtor and always have committed and produced great real estate transactions and opportunities. She is a very responsive professional and always on top of the game. I trust Virginia and I recommend her on a regular basis to all my friends and business partners.

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

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!

Very personable and knowledgeable. Aaron goes out of his way to make sure you receive his undivided attention and goes the extra mile to make your transaction as painless as possible. I would highly recommend him.

Aaron was a great Realtor and I would recommend him to anyone that I know who is searching for a home. He is very prompt and returns your phone calls in a very professional manner. Keep up the outstanding job.
