Magnificent home buying experience

Residential real estate is personal and emotional for both the buyer and seller. We were out of state buyers who made multiple trips to Sarasota and walked numerous houses. Eileen and Brian consistently reminded us to “be guided by what you want in a home, there is no need to compromise or rush, it may take longer than expected, but we are here for you regardless of the length of time”. At times the home search can be exhausting, but we were always reminded “there is no rush nor a need to compromise”. We lived outside of FL, thus some of our trips to visit houses were on short notice, Eileen and Brian always found the flexibility to arrange showings, regardless of the day of the week. The characteristic that elevates Eileen and Brian above other seasoned realtors is their genuine care and concern that their client is fully informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Although it took multiple trips to FL and many showings, we did not compromise nor rush, and are thrilled to be in a home we absolutely love

Amazing Agent in Sarasota

Yvette helped me navigate the changing real estate market and find a property that fits my stage of life. She went above and beyond in meeting trades people for quotes while I was still living out of state. She always did it with a smile. I’m also glad to now call her a neighbor and a friend. Highly recommend her!

Buying a House CAN be fun!

Buying a house can be daunting and overwhelming. But with the help of Eileen and Brian, it wasn't. They are there for you every step of the way. No matter how many questions or calls, they responded to every one. It truly was a blessing to have every one of our concerns addressed promptly and efficiently. Thank you Eileen and Brian for your constant support and guidance and patience throughout this process. We are grateful for your kindness and wisdom!

I absolutely loved working with Alison

I absolutely loved working with Alison. I was looking for a home long distance and I can certainly say that she went above and beyond to help me in finding the perfect property. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to others as I already have;-)

Exemplary Service

In this competitive real estate market, Monica asked key questions and gave expert advice to ensure we were in our desired location (top rated school district), safety rated home, within our financial means, and meeting our standards in order to secure a quality home purchase.

All Star, Monica is the Best of the Best!

Monica is an amazing realtor and a fantastic person. She always looks out to protect your interest. She consistently communicated throughout the process. We found a home for sale by “open door” ….They were impossible to deal with but somehow Monica managed to push through and got us a great deal on a great house with a not so great seller. I don’t believe anyone but Monica could’ve closed on this house and I will never use anyone but her to buy a home in the future. I cannot recommend anyone except HER!

Yvette satisfies the social aspects of what you want from a location and property

Any agent can find you a property that fits your price and building characteristics from a publicly available list. If you live in the market you are searching, then that is sufficient. Coming from out of town we also wanted a property that fits our social needs: type of community, access, services, transport, schools, social standing, crime and safety. We didnt know how to judge, in a new city, where the things we valued back home were located. We wanted someone who understood this need and not someone who drove us all over town throwing darts at a dart board. Yvette is that woman who understood us first in order to better target a search.

New home in Lakewood Ranch

We recently closed on a new construction home in Del Webb (one of the LWR communities). Our experience with Brian and Eileen Gillen was exceptional. They were both very involved during the entire process, which was especially helpful since we were not living in Florida while the construction was underway. They inspected the property and were in direct contact with the project manager, and reported back to us during the important phases of the construction project. They were both very “hands on” all the way through closing. They were extremely diligent and looked over the details of our home as if it was their own, during the home stretch and final inspection before closing. Our highest recommendation.

Easy Peasy

Steve has a great handle on the market. His expertise and his pipeline of potential buyers enabled us to sell our home for full asking price within 36 hours of our first meeting. He made what can be arduous process simple and speedy.

Nothing but positives to say…

Steve was excellent. Knows the market and understands what drives different price points. Total straight shooter about things that need work. Very available to talk, and on-time and in no hurry during showings. Very nice guy, would recommend him without hesitation and will definitely use him again if we decide to trade up or down.
