We were recommended Eileen and Brian by a friend and at the first meeting it felt very good and they could show a fantastic record. With our sales, we ended up in a slow market but did not hesitate to extend the agreement after the agreed time. Eileen and Brian have a great commitment and have been well-read and continuously reported on how surrounding sales have gone. They have had an ongoing information and recommendation about all open houses and other viewings. We have only positive experiences of our collaboration and highly recommend Eileen and Brian.

This is the 2nd home I’ve sold with Monica and her team- You will not find a more dedicated, knowledgeable and professional realtor & group. There is clear and constant communication- also a wonderful person that I now consider a friend. I cannot recommend Monica highly enough.

Well the above review headline tells most of the story. We did not know Alison before our experience with her on the house we purchased and the house that we sold. She had come very highly recommended and she was even better than advertised. Alison was extremely helpful in finalizing the purchase price we paid and the sale price that we received. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market values in both our new neighborhood and our old one. She was always very available for any questions we might have and returned calls or texts almost immediately. She is definitely there for her clients. It was obvious by the seemingly instantaneous replies we got to even the most mundane questions. I could write numerous anecdotes of the extra lengths to which Alison went to help us with both the purchase and sale, but they would get kind of boring. So, for brevities sake let me just finish by repeating myself when I say that Alison was fantastic in every aspect of the real estate agent's job. I can't imagine a better agent and we would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thanks. Carlisle Peet

Brian and Eileen Gillen are great! As a matter of fact, they were the seller's agent when we first purchased this property and we were so impressed that when the time came four years later to sell, they were the first and only agents that we entertained to help us sell in this volatile market. Between high interest rates, a softened market, and some other headwinds that made it difficult for buyers to get traditional funding, Brian and Eileen has some challenges to overcome. They were great in explaining the market and guiding decisions and changes in strategy along the way. When it was all said and done, we received a very reasonable offer and we are extremely happy with the outcome. I would personally use and highly recommend Brian and Eileen of The Gillen Group. Thanks to you both!

I would highly recommend Monica Verinder for your realtor whether you are buying or selling your home. She has represented us on both sides and always does a fabulous job. She is professional, has outstanding knowledge of the real estate market and she listens to your requirements and finds the perfect house or seller every time. She is very personable and genuinely cares about her clients. She always returns your calls and inquiries and works with urgency and kindness. She is the best of the best.

Monica helped us find the perfect home in a very difficult market. We could not be happier. She was patient and never pressured us. In fact, she was the first to point out why we should consider other options based on her knowledge of the market and what we needed. Once we went to contract she handled all of the many post contract deadlines, inspections, post-contract negotiations and the closing. She was incredibly generous with her time and advise. She was ALWAYS available. Its no wonder why she is ranked as one of the best realtors in the Sarasota area. In our opinion, she IS the best.

Brian and Eileen are both very kind authentic people. They have a great deal of experience in the Longboat Key FL real estate market and it shows.

Although I am very familiar with real estate transactions, Eileen and Brian were amazing throughout the process. They are thorough and excellent communicators. They do not rest until all details are complete. Their knowledge of the market is extensive, up to date and of great benefit in facilitating a real estate listing, negotiation, document gathering and final closing process. Peace of mind that my listing/sales process was in good hands made the entire experience non-stressful and successful which not only matched my expectations, but exceeded them!

He was very professional and creative in his approach to selling a difficult property and we are glad he is our realtor. If you are buying or selling in The Oaks or other communities in Sarasota we recommend Steve and his team. In particular if you are interested in a golfing community his background in the sport and real estate expertise is the best.

Steve did a great job in listing, describing and showing our property during the time it was on the market. He was informative, provided buyer feedback and kept us abreast of changes in the Osprey Florida condo market. He is the most knowledgeable golf community real estate agent in Sarasota and the surrounding area. We consider Steve a good friend!
