Susan sold 2 condos for me back to back. One in Dec.2018 and one in Jan. 2019. She was professional from the listing to the closing. I was impressed at how fast she tackled all the necessary things that go with selling. She never left me hanging or wondering what to do next. There were some challenges, but she took care of them for me. She has alot of knowledge in the real estate business. I would ask her again, if I were selling, buying, or just need a referral.

We were relocating from Washington, DC to Sarasota, FL. MaryElizabeth made our transition very easy! MaryElizabeth communicated with us via phone and email. She listened to our requirements and found many options for us to review. MayElizabeth is extremely knowledgable about the Sarasota/Bradenton area! In the end we chose to build new in Lakewood Ranch. When it was time to visit the design center MaryElizabeth came with us – her input was invaluable to us! She ensured we chose what was needed for the house – kept us on budget!

Susan recently sold my condo after a very short listing and sold it for the price I was asking. Thruout the process she was stellar as an agent, friendly, informed and amusing to make a stressful time more pleasant. I felt she really put herself out to make everything move smoothly and kept me informed regularly as to what was transpiring. I recommend her highly. Sarah Jane Dechert

I’ve purchased multiple investment properties from Jo Ellyn over the years. Her read watch and knowledge is what impressed me most. Not all the properties were the easiest to close but she made it happen.

A true professional. When we chose Jo Ellyn, we found ourselves in very good hands. Due to a structural issue in the condo we were living , we had to find a new place to live rather quickly. Jo Ellyn not only found us a lovely home but it turned out to be a sage investment. Well done!

My husband and I began our search for the perfect vacation home a few years ago. We were so lucky to have Karen guide us on that search in finding the perfect spot on Lido Key! We have purchased and sold several homes and always found that our real estate brokers were sub-par. Karen far exceeded our expectations! We live and work in Maine so trying to find a home from thousands of miles away was not an easy task. She always made time for us anytime we were in town to show us properties. Continued to be patient with two years of searching until we find "the one". That's when she really went to work for us! From being on top of the lender, inspectors, title company, etc. She kept everyone on task and communicated with us every step of the way to be sure we had a smooth closing. She was a true professional in addition to being a genuine, honest, kind person. Cannot say enough good things about Karen!

I'm from Canada, and this was my first U.S. purchase. Paul had a listing I was interested in, so I called him directly. After some pertinent questions, Paul was able to direct me to listings that suited my search criteria specifically. I looked for months before finding a list of properties to come down to Florida and view. I gave Paul my list and he put together a few more that I didn't know about to see in one jam packed day of touring. By the end of the day, I was so happy to have seen everything that suited my style, and was confident when I made the offer on the one I wanted. It was a great day spent in the car with Paul getting all the local knowledge he had to share about neighborhoods, people, landmarks, and much more. He picked me up at my hotel first thing in the morning, toured all day, had a meal, made a deal, and dropped me back off at the airport the same night! WOW! If you have any apprehension being so far away and not knowing a realtor; this is your guy for this area. In the later days, the deal closed and Paul took care of many of the things I just couldn't get to by distance, which were above and beyond what your regular guy would normally do. Honestly; I don't know what I would have done without Paul looking after my best interest while I was up here in Canada working while the deal went through. I can't tell you how much I appreciate Paul and all the work he put into this to make it happen. I feel like a already have a friend in Florida when I get there.

Highly Highly Recommended! If you want to talk about personal touch and care, Paul is the guy. He really does care you get the right match for your needs and goes well beyond the extra. He is a person you can call a friend from day one, sincere and honest and really knows his area and his business to get you the best deal. I will be using him again when I buy my next property in Florida, no matter what part of the state.

We were selling my mother's condo "remotely" from Ohio. We were hit with 3 unexpected surprises: 1) the condo association began re-roofing her building right after listing; 2) water leaked into her condo from the condo above hers causing damage; and 3) Hurricane Irma arrived throwing a big monkey wrench in the closing schedule. Could more weird things happen? Susan made over 30 trips to my mothers property to let in inspectors and repairmen, check on repair progress and of course show the property. Through it all, she kept us up to date with timely emails and calls. We couldn't have sold the condo without her "over and above" commitment. She is also very nice and caring, which goes a long way when the going gets sticky.

Susan Burmaster has been both a listing and selling agent for me. In both cases she proved to be very competent in all aspects regarding real estate. During a purchase as questions arose she always kept digging until there was a staisfactory response. When selling property Susan kept close tabs on the property, making sure there were no problems with the property. This included after harsh storms when the property was vacant.

We were waffling on whether to buy or not, and actually used Susan for FIVE years! She stuck with us, sent us homes to look at, and after viewing several condos in the Sarasota area with us, we ended up buying one site unseen. We trusted Susan enough to do a walk through, reviewing the entire condo for us when we were out of state! She knew the area and R.E. laws, and was invaluable to us. She has continued to keep us informed of the latest R.E. happenings in our area.
