Wayne Welsh's Testimonials
My wife Jacquie and I were new to the area and unfamiliar with all the procedures involved in purchasing a Florida home as we are from Canada. You and your wife Ida (Hap) were most helpful walking us through the home inspection process and even following up on required repairs. All of these things got done long distance. Above all you helped us feel welcome and an important part of our new community. Your commitment to the Venice community shines in all the good things you do.

Simply stated, this was “Home Buying Made Easy.” Gulf Shores Realty helped us purchase a single family home in Englewood in August 2023. From the beginning, Wayne was attentive, accessible and patient, taking the time to get to know us, our needs and schedule, and readily sharing his knowledge and insights – all aimed at providing us with the best experience possible. Wayne got underway quickly, immediately identifying potential homes and helping us get a feel for the market and area. This ultimately led to our interest in a very specific area in Englewood and a type of home that created a dynamic where we needed to be immediately responsive to a listing – the house we closed on was due to us making an offer within hours of it being listed! Wayne took the initiative, always putting us in the best possible position, offering sound advice and negotiations and practical support right up through closing, even connecting us with support ranging from a Title company to local pool contractors. Through it all Wayne was personable, respectful of our time and privacy, perfectly communicative, and always conducted himself with honesty and integrity. Our confidence in Gulf Coast is perhaps best exemplified by us going on a family vacation for 2 weeks during the midst of our home search, trusting Wayne completely to not miss any opportunity. We honestly cannot say enough good things about Wayne, Gulf Shores, and their network team of trusted partners. Thank you Wayne! Sincerely, the Forand family

Waynes manner in handling everything he did for us was totally professional but at the same time was also very personal. We felt at all times that his treatment and service to us was akin to that which he would want his parents to receive from an agent. We now consider Wayne not just our agent, but a friend that we know we can rely on.

Having been in the real estate business, I have had multiple dealings with realtors. Wayne Welsh has extensive experience in problem solving and has always "got the job done." Wayne is an unselfish man you want to be connected with.

I have been in the mortgage/real estate industry for over 20 years now and Wayne Welsh has definitely been one of the best Realtors that I have ever worked with. His communication skills are impeccable and his level of service is at the highest standards. In 20 years, I have worked with many Realtors, but Wayne Walsh is definitely one of the best and I even used him to purchase my own house.

I want to express my appreciation for the wonderful way you handled our purchase of our new condo. Your excellent response to our every need speaks highly of your reputation for great customer service. You and Hap are an experienced team who took care of us each step of the way from the viewing of the property to closing.

If you want to sell or buy real estate, Wayne Welsh Is the agent you want to work with. Wayne is a real estate professional; he worked with my brother and I from beginning to end on selling our property. Our mother passed away and neither of us knew what had to be done to prepare or sell her house. Wayne met with us immediately and worked hand in glove with us throughout the process. Wayne researched the current real estate environment and recommended ad selling price. his experience in the field allowed him to answer all our questions and to make recommendations on how to prepare the house to show best. With Wayne's guidance, advice, customer service, and proactive approach our house sold in a troubled financial environment in a timely fashion I highly recommend Wayne and his staff of professionals to anyone interested in acquiring or selling any parcel of real estate.

Wonderful Agents and Gulf Shores Realty We could not be happier with our new home. Thank you Wayne for the quick and easy process. You made buying our new waterfront home a lot of fun and hassle-free.

I'm so glad I used Gulf Shores Realty to sell my condo. Wayne and his staff were easy to work with and very efficient. The photo's he took were the best I've seen in any realtor's magazines or ads. I highly recommend this agency! Thank you!!

Wayne spent the entire weekend showing us homes that met our initial criteria. He never once wasted our precious time. He continuously discussed what we liked or disliked about each house so that he could refine the search criteria during the course of the day. He also completely respected our style and picked up immediately on the amount of time we needed to look at each prospective house. I truly cannot imagine a better realtor experience.
