Howard Freedland

“I can’t recommend Howard highly enough. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive as I purchased my first home. As a new buyer navigating a lot of moving pieces, I truly appreciated how clearly everything was explained and how communicative he was every step of the way. He advocated for me, caught details I would have missed, and made sure I felt confident in each decision rather than rushed or pressured. Even when unexpected questions or challenges came up, he handled everything calmly and professionally, always keeping my best interests front and center. Buying a home was incredibly overwhelming—I’m definitely not a fan of the paperwork—but he made the process feel manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who is both skilled and genuinely invested in their clients.”

“Working with Howard Freedland and Shay Rubenstein of Echo Fine Properties was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They were extremely communicative, proactive, and consistently on top of every detail throughout the process. When unexpected obstacles arose, Howard and Shay remained calm, solution focused and even helped secure a lender at the last moment to keep everything moving forward. Thanks to their dedication and persistence, the Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue was able to close on the land they so desperately needed. I am grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them as a realtor or Business partner.”

“Howard Freedland was our agent--an excellent listener and educated us about the options in the area that met our criterion. He helped us find the perfect place for us!”

Susan Cohen

“Howard made buying our home an outstanding experience. He took the time to understand exactly what we needed and guided us through every detail, from inspections to key information about the home’s systems. Howard was always available, kept us updated, and went out of his way to meet as often as we needed—even staying late on signing day to make sure everything was perfect. His negotiation skills and connections helped us feel confident and well-represented. We’d happily recommend Howard to anyone looking for a realtor who’s truly dedicated and knowledgeable.”

Tania & Dennis

“Howard was instrumental in successfully completing a precarious purchase that was more than worthwhile. Unusual and unforeseeable complications developed late, and logistics and emotions flared but Howard stayed calm, steady, helpful, and he kept us all safe from legal liability and everything on track. He’s a gentleman warrior and I’m supremely grateful for his exemplary skills and demeanor.”

“It’s not often that I take the time to write recommendation letters or testimonials, but I feel it necessary at this juncture. Over the last 2+ years we’ve been looking for a new home for the Silver Edge Financial Group. We’ve had several realtors show us office space, but nothing fit the bill. Howard Freedland was the last realtor to show us a space that was somewhat suitable but, ultimately, wasn’t up to snuff. Fortunately, Howard took it upon himself to take up our cause and find us a suitable space. A few short weeks after we walked away from the space, he originally showed us he called and told me about a large office condo that wasn’t yet on the market, but the owner was considering a sale. He arranged a showing and, much to our surprise, it was perfect. Spacious, well-appointed and perfectly suited to our needs. Within a few days he helped negotiate a deal and we closed in September. Over the course of my interactions with Howard, I have been consistently impressed with his professionalism, market knowledge, and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service. Howard possesses a deep understanding of the commercial real estate market, offering insights that help businesses find properties that suit their operational needs and long-term goals. Howard demonstrated remarkable attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the legal and financial complexities of commercial real estate deals. What makes Howard truly exceptional is his ability to build strong relationships. He prioritizes clear communication and transparency, which ensures that his clients are well-informed throughout the entire process. He is tenacious, diligent and resourceful. In addition to his technical skills and real estate expertise, Howard is a pleasure to work with. His professionalism, reliability, and dedication to client satisfaction are commendable. If you are looking for a commercial realtor who is knowledgeable, driven, and client focused, I highly recommend Howard Freedland. ”

“From our initial appointment with Sophie Schneeberger and Howard Freedland until the final bell rung (the sales closing), our experience was nothing short of exceptional. The contract process was clear and efficient. The photo and video shoots were arranged to meet our schedule and things happened when promised. The showing experience was stress free, which is no easy feat when you're asked to vacate your own home. Sophie and Howard always gave us prior day notice, always accompanied the potential sellers (no lock box!), and we always received immediate feedback about how the visit went. Communication throughout the listing period was consistently met with promptness, professionalism, and friendliness, whether it was live conversation, texts, or voicemail. We were never left wondering what's going on. We would recommend this dynamic duo to anyone who is selling or buying, and in fact have already done this very thing to many of our acquaintances. Even after our business dealings were done, Sophie and Howard still checked in on us about how our next chapter of moving out of state was going. It's refreshing to encounter people like Sophie and Howard who are passionate about their job and truly care about each and every client.”

“Just wanted to express how wonderful it was to work with our fellow Commercial agent, Howard Freedland on a Commercial transaction. I reached out yesterday to Howard as my client wanted to purchase a property in Ormond Beach. He jumped right on it and worked all day with several back and forth negotiations. He was able to get this transaction under contract. Happy to say my client was very very pleased with Howard and we are fully executed! I was so impressed with his professionalism and knowledge …. I would highly recommend to add to your portfolio Buyers/Sellers in the commercial arena. Howard is tremendous and the results speak for themselves… Please reach out to him if you have any prospects. He’s a dream to work with. ”

Suzanne Slate

“Howard was very responsive to our Saturday call about a commercial office space we found in Jupiter. He was initially told the property was under contract but he continued to inquire, only to learn that the office was in fact available. Howard coordinated a showing and came prepared with market information for comparisons. He kept strong communication throughout the purchase process and was easy to reach, which I really appreciated. He even checked in with us after the closing. Thanks Howard for the solid representation.”

Mike Walder

“Howard and Michael are bulldogs. Since working with our company, they communicate regularly and often about our business needs. The deals that they bring to us are well thought out and they have created opportunities off-market that suit our expansion model properly. They are relentless.”

“This letter will serve as my very high recommendation of Real Estate Agent Howard Freedland. He assisted my partner and I with the lease of a large commercial space in North Palm Beach. While I have experience with residential real estate, I cannot say the same about commercial real estate and I needed an expert to assist me. Howard was referred to me and was an excellent choice. I have worked with many real estate brokers and agents on many different real estate transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Howard was by far one of the best agent/ brokers I have used. I can't say enough about Howard's professionalism and knowledge within the industry. He has integrity and is tenacious, always keeping the clients' best interests in mind. Our real estate transaction was complicated, and we had several issues with the property management. Even after the deal was complete Howard continued to assist me with these issues which was outside the scope of his responsibilities. One of the qualities I respected the most was his no- nonsense style. As a busy executive, I don't have time to waste. He understood this and would get to the point quickly, yet professionally, always respecting our time. Howard was very responsive to questions, often responding immediately to inquiries, even those at odd hours. In the complex world of commercial real estate, I highly encourage you to give Howard a try. ”

“Dear Howard: Thank you for the fantastic work you’ve done for us. We appreciate that you went the extra mile and were there for us every step of the way throughout the journey of selling my parent’s condo. We could not have done this without you. We are so grateful for your patience and guidance. Although, there were a few bumps along the way, your advice and perseverance gave us a great outcome during this emotional event in our lives.  Howard, you made this process as smooth and seamless as possible and, we are very impressed with your professionalism and care throughout the entire process. We will share our positive experience with our family and friends who may need similar services well into the future. Thank you again for all your hard work!”

“Just a quick note to let you know what a phenomenal job Sophie Schneeberger and Howard Freedland did in selling our home in Egret Landing. They truly are consummate professionals. From helping us get the house ready for sale through the many showings and right up to and even after the closing, they were always there to provide sound advice and much needed support. Together they make a fantastic duo! ”

Chris and Kathryn Boldman

“Howard was clear, concise and extremely helpful from beginning to end in making sure every detail was covered correctly. He was responsive and a pleasure to have as our agent. ”

Susan Freedland

“Howard and Sophie with Echo Fine Properties were wonderful to work with. We owned our home for 20 years but didn't feel like updating before moving. Howard gave us positive feedback and worked within our concerns. He fought for us to get the price we were looking for as well. Howard and Sophie provided beautiful colorful brochures, online advertising and a very successful open House. We sold in nine days after a bidding war between multiple offers eventually netted us our asking price. Howard always treated our home as if it were his and because of the "white glove service" we consider Howard and Sophie true assets to the realtor team at Echo Fine Properties!”
