Jeff Tricoli’s Reviews and Ratings
Tim is an AWESOME agent and I would HIGHLY recommend his services! He was prompt, responsive, and very good at explaining sometimes complex details. He made sure my concerns were addressed and corrected. He fully supported my long-distance move, collaborating with other experts and services I needed. He is a great partner and a good listener! Thank you for helping me secure my forever home. I can’t wait to move in.
An amazing buying experience! Tim’s knowledge of the local area was critical in narrowing down the right neighborhood for us. His meticulous attention to detail, coupled with his client-first approach, ensured no stone was left unturned and every question was answered. He was available any day of the week at all times. He earned my complete trust throughout the entire process. Tim carries my highest recommendation—he will never steer you wrong!
Great working with Tim and his team buying our first home. They helped us every step of the way. I definitely recommend using their services.
We had an outstanding experience working with Tim Ekelund! From start to finish, he was professional and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home. His attention to detail and expert guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Pensacola area!
We were pretty nervous going into the process of becoming first-time homeowners, but Tim was absolutely amazing! He was with us every step of the way. He communicated so well that we never felt confused and explained everything in detail. He was always available—even while on vacation. Tim worked hard to negotiate a closing where we didn’t have to come out of pocket and even got us money back from our earnest money deposit. Tim is amazing and the person to go to when you want to buy a home, especially if you’re a first-time home buyer.
Client FAQs

Not at all. Submitting a request does not create any obligation to work with a referred agent. While we carefully vet the professionals on our platform and know you’ll be in good hands, you are always free to decide whether the relationship is the right fit for you.

No, Southlight is an independent platform and is not owned or affiliated with any single brokerage, allowing us to connect clients with trusted, area-specific experts.
In most cases, real estate agents are compensated through a commission based on a percentage of the final sale price of the property, typically ranging from 5% to 6% total, which is often split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. Commission rates can vary by market and are always discussed and agreed upon before representation begins.
Our clients include Florida residents, individuals relocating from out of state or abroad, retirees, seasonal residents (snowbirds) and investors seeking trusted local real estate representation.
Our platform provides clients with direct access to Florida’s most highly recommended local real estate agents. Unlike traditional referral websites with open participation, our agents are hand-selected through a rigorous vetting process to ensure exceptional expertise, professionalism, and consistently outstanding client experiences.
We closely monitor the number of introductions each agent receives to ensure they can properly serve every client. If an agent’s availability becomes limited, we temporarily pause new introductions and feature another highly recommended local agent until availability returns. Our goal is to make sure every client receives attentive, high-quality service and that there is always a highly recommended agent available to serve our clients.
