Your Real Estate Professionals

Hello!

I moved to Clearwater, FL from the West Coast in 2005, and left a career in Accounting and Business Management. I felt ready for a change, to start a career more fitting to my personality and ambitions. My then Realtor Paola Lombardi (Broker of Great Homes Realty) recruited me to become an agent. I took the leap, started selling real estate and never looked back. I have been working with Paola’s fantastic international team at Great Homes ever since. We are an amazing group. We have diverse backgrounds. We can service customers in many different languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Hebrew, Hungarian, etc. not to mention English :-). And we are people of integrity. I am originally from Hungary, and moved to the United States in 1992 at the age of 18. I am always happy to assist my fellow Hungarians.

The market is ever changing, and I have managed for all these years to follow market trends and conditions and assist my clients to the best of my knowledge. I am a full time Realtor, which means I can be showing anywhere from 10-50 properties a week, sometimes more. I also love representing sellers and assisting them with getting their homes ready to sell, do some staging as needed, and get their properties sold within the time frame they have in mind. I know my market. I feel that I can give responsible advice to my clients, even if the right advice is to discourage a person from buying or selling.

I specialize in residential primary and vacation homes in Clearwater, Belleair, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor, Largo and the Pinellas County Beaches. My favorite waterfront areas and where my heart is, is Clearwater Beach, Sandkey Beach and Island Estates. Our office is based out of beautiful Downtown Clearwater, which is an area undergoing an exciting downtown revitalization right in front of our eyes.

Marnie Trainor
Real Estate Agent

Hello,

Originally from Chicago, I like to help out-of-towners find their new home. We moved here in 2005, so I know the market and have experienced the ebbs and flows of the different neighborhoods through home ownership and local investments.

My background is in real estate and finance and I love the game of finding a good deal and helping clients and friends with their bottom line whether it’s in a home or the right investment property.

Since I “crunched numbers” for years with an investment team dealing in multi unit residential and commercial real estate, I get excited at the problem-solving side of your search. Once I fully understand what you are looking for, it takes me on average 3 days to find your ideal property.

My name is Shelly Crosson, and I am your Transaction Coordinator.

I started my Real Estate Career in 2015. After being in the field for a while, I decided I enjoy the paperwork side of Real Estate and started helping agents with their transactions. As soon as you have a property under contract to buy or sell, I help coordinate with as many as 10 or more different professionals that participate in a real estate transaction. I assist our clients with the process to get them from contract to closing.

I have 22 years experience in the medical field which helped give me the attention to detail and organizational skills needed to help agents and their clients through complex real estate transactions.

I am originally from Indiana and I moved to Clearwater for the warmer weather and to be close to the water. I have several dogs, and we enjoy the Florida beaches and outdoors with them. I have no regrets moving here, and love helping other families do the same.

Patricia Nemeth
Promo & Marketing Director

My name is Patricia and I am the marketing and promo director for Niki’s real estate team. We are sisters, and like Niki I was born and raised in Hungary, but have been calling Clearwater my home since 2005.

I have been working in the web development and marketing world for almost 20 years, and I love supporting my sister and helping her make a difference in people’s lives by finding their dream home. In my role as marketing and promo director, I manage the company’s email campaigns and website. I have a passion for digital marketing and am always striving to find new ways to promote our business and reach potential clients.

Thank you for considering Niki Fiala for your real estate needs. Please let us know if you would like to sign up for our informative newsletters and articles.

Hello,

I joined Niki and her Dream Home Team in 2017. I create professional real estate photos, panoramic virtual tours, aerial/drone photos,  Matterport tours, slideshows and walkthrough videos that help potential buyers get a realistic preview of the property, which sometimes results in a purchase over the internet or sight unseen. For more information visit www.pandaphotostudio.com

Our goal is to generate a lot of interest for the home. So my work also results in more clicks online, more inquiries, and more showings, so ultimately faster sales for our sellers.

I love my job, I get to visit beautiful homes, help our team and do what I love to do the most, take amazing photos. Photography is not just my profession, it is my real passion.

Sophie
Real Estate Assistant

I am Sophie.

I love to show properties with my mom. I bring good luck to buyers and sellers. Often when my mom brings me along to her appointments, I tell her “I want to buy this house”. And that usually means her clients will end up buying or selling that house right away. I used to feel sad about this, but now I am just happy I can help! When we show a house with a pool, I love to test the water, to make sure it is warm.

Client Testimonials

Niki was the highlight of our experience in looking for an apartment. She was expeditive, professional, honest, sincere and friendly all throughout the process. Of all the agents we had experience with, she presented apartments to us with the greatest honesty, addressing all pros and cons of the apartments openly, making us feel like our satisfaction was truly a priority over even her own interests. We found the apartment of our dreams, with a completely smooth process. We were lucky to have worked with her!

NEW HOME OWNER

Niki is amazing. We told her what we were looking for, and the very first batch of houses she suggested included the one we loved and purchased! She got our offer accepted, despite the fact that there were other offers already pending. She was always in good communication with us, extremely helpful, and made the whole process smooth like silk. I highly recommend her!

NEW HOME OWNER

I have worked with Niki Fiala on many real estate transactions and she is a real professional. It is a pleasure to do business with someone who not only knows their profession but can also work out complicated challenges and get properties closed.

Jason Regensburg, Merge Financial

Thank you for taking such good care of the client I referred to you.  It is a reflection on me how you work with my clients.  I appreciate the time and patience you gave to him.  I know many Realtors and I chose to send him to you.  Because you are so dedicated, I knew you would work hard for him.
Your expert knowledge of the market and the value of the properties helped to find him an incredible deal.  I hope to continue to have an active relationship with you in the future.

Gaye Conover, Geneva Mortgage Services

I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it is doing business with you. I thank you for entrusting your clients with our professional inspection service. I appreciate how hard you work for your clients. I have been impressed with how deftly you handle the challenges that arise during a transaction. Based on my experience working with you and your clients, I now understand your aim is not to sell them a ‘house’, but to find them a ‘home’. Your customer focused approach to real estate is the reason for your success and is an inspiration to me and my business.
