Our realtor Steve Abbe is efficient, professional and very knowledgeable. You can ask for his advice and he will always be helpful and provide you with useful information. Selling with Steve was a very easy and stress free process.

Wendy Ross and Steve Abbe were the most capable agents for selling my house. They worked tirelessly to sell the house. They knew the housing market and were able to adopt new strategies as it changed. They contacted me every day to discuss plans for selling. They are first rate agents in every way - outstanding professionals - in the real estate business. They are the best.

Monica has the experience to ensure your transaction is handled in the most efficient and effective manner. She was involved throughout the process and took the time to go over the loan estimate line by line. We confidently and highly recommend Monica
Monica Verinder
Monica is an excellent realtor and person who far exceeded our expectations. She was exceptional in every aspect of the homebuying process. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the current real estate market was remarkable. Given our long distance move, she was able to provide us with descriptive details regarding the different homes and neighborhoods in the Sarasota area. She was very professional, hardworking, accessible, and personable. Monica prioritized our personal preferences and her primary goal was always to ensure we were happy with the home we purchased. Beyond her expected duties as a realtor, she was also able to find us temporary housing and acted as our advocate in every step of the process. We would highly recommend Monica to anyone without reservation! It was a pleasure working with her. She clearly loves what she does and cares for her clients. We are forever grateful to Monica and her assistant, Kelsey for all their hard work and dedication. We are happy to call Monica our close friend!

BEST AGENT IN THE AREA We have known Steve for many years, both on a personal and professional level. When it was time to sell our home in Palmer Ranch there was no decision to make, we KNEW we would choose him as our listing agent. Steve obviously priced our house correctly as we had a full price offer the day it was listed. From listing through closing, he went above and beyond to help facilitate the transaction. If you want the best agent in Sarasota, you'll use him as your agent too! ____________________________ ____________

We recently relocated to the Sarasota area and were given Monica’s name as a potential realtor. Monica is excellent! Within a few brief discussions, she had our home taste nailed down perfectly. Her knowledge of the Sarasota area and more specifically the individual neighborhoods far exceeded our expectations. She was along side our purchasing process from beginning to closing. We definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking to purchase property in the area.

Being new to Florida, we needed a rental home until we were ready to purchase our own. Monica really knocked it out of the park finding us an exceptional neighborhood. She did this while finding a realtor who would accept renters with 2 large dogs (no easy task in the Sarasota area!). We'll miss the neighbors and neighborhood, but it was time to get a place of our own. Not having the first idea of how the real estate works here, we we're overwhelmed with how different the way things go from our last state (MA). We bought new construction and did not use a real estate lawyer. Monica was able to answer questions we've had in the past we would've normally asked town/city reps, contractors, lawyers, and of course, other real estate agents. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and protective of her clients. We would absolutely use her if we needed an agent again. We will highly recommend Monica to friends, family, and anyone else looking for a great realtor.

When it comes to working as a team, the Gillen group does it perfectly! We started working with Brian on the sale of our Longboat condo because we worked with him for a purchase a few years prior and loved the experience. Because of a bad case of the flu for Brian, Eileen had to step in and take over. The great thing about a perfect team is that either one can help without missing a beat at anytime! Even when there were bumps in the process, Eileen shielded us as much as she could and handled them with expertise reducing the stress on us. Working with Brian and Eileen made everything so much easier and less complicated. They are true Longboat Key Experts and wonderful people.

Having the right realtor makes all the difference. Having Gillen team is like having the dynamic duo!! Experience and knowledge stands out without a doubt! The RESULTS speaks for themselves!!

Working with Brian was a pleasure. His knowledge of the Sarasota area with both new and existing homes was very helpful in our search. Once we opted for new construction he was a great resource for information. We would definitely work with Brian and Eileen again (although we hope we found our forever home)!

We have just completed the purchase of a new construction home in Bradenton FL. We have been absolutely thrilled with the guidance, advocacy, and attentiveness of our agent Monica Verinder. Based on the timing and the type of purchase, it was a lengthy process, over 18 months from purchase to delivery, and Monica was always available to reassure us, provide guidance, involve herself in discussions with the builder, and of course provide help and assistance in the closing process. We would recommend Monica to any and everyone that is buying or selling a home as she not only knows the area but understands how to work with all types of clientele. Outstanding experience, thank you Monica!

We have really enjoyed working with Monica on 3 very successful real estate transactions. Most recently, Monica assisted us with the sale of a rental property that we had owned for over 15 years. Monica provided us with a very accurate projection on what we might expect to sell our property for, which included great market data to support the projection. In addition, she made some very helpful recommendations on what we should and shouldn't spend money on to prepare the house to hit the market that really helped with the sale and also kept our costs down. Monica was also great about communicating with us throughout the entire process, from when the home hit the market, texts when showings would be occurring, feedback from those showings, offers that came along, her thoughts and suggestions on those offers. Great experience, fun to work with and would highly recommend!
