Flo tried to sell my condo back in 2013. She worked so hard setting up open houses, getting her repair man to fix up my place etc.. She was such a kind spirit.I enjoyed talking to her. I was so sorry to hear about her passing. Rest in Peace, Sweet Lady.

I met Ms. Burke about 5 years ago and rented one of her properties. I looked forward to paying my rent each month just to see her. She was so kind with a gentle spirit. I will forever miss her and I loved her very much. Rest in peace Ms. Burke
