I was referred to Alison by a friend. After my first meeting with Alison, I knew that she was the person I wanted to work with. Alison spent an entire day the first day we toured homes trying to understand what I was looking for in a home. She explained how the entire process worked and answered all of my questions. Alison was great with dealing with me as a first time home buyer and wasn't put off by having to do a lot of hand-holding, with an indecisive buyer. The first weekend we went out to see houses in Sarasota and Bradenton, so I got a feel for different areas and neighborhoods. Alison was able to provide me with lots of background information on each area highlighting the pros and cons of each and she was also able to point out potential problems that I would have completely missed. At the end of the first day we narrowed our focus to more specific areas and Alison had a much better understanding of what I wanted. Alison was very considerate of my time, when I came down for subsequent home tours. She would send me information in my personalized portal about every property she planned to show me. I appreciated the most, Alison allowed me to figure out on my own that my wish list wasn't congruent with what I expected to pay for a home. Once I made an offer, Alison was there to guide me through each step of the process. Additionally, Alison uses Docusign which allowed me to sign paperwork online. Since I was working during the day ( two hours away) this was convenient, as I was able to get the necessary paperwork signed and submitted on time. 23 days after my initial offer, I closed on my first home!!! Alison is genuine, trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, patient and committed to making her client happy. There were days I was so frustrated, overwhelmed and discouraged. However, Alison would always say, "we will find the perfect home for you and your daughter". She was right, we found the perfect home! Thank you Alison!

This is the second time we have used Carolyn to sell a home. Her knowledge of the Sarasota market is extensive & her attention to detail is impressive. She is very responsive, follows through & and is an excellent hand holder. She works extremely hard for her clients. I can give Carolyn the highest recommendation and without question will use her again in any real estate transaction.

My wife and I worked with Roger over a number of months in our search for a beachfront property in Longboat Key. Having previously worked with many good real estate professionals in Canada and UK it was a delight to work with Roger in our first venture in the US. Excellent advice , fabulous local knowledge , excellent negotiation skills are just a few of the traits that have us realize that Roger is the best professional we have worked with in any country. Backed by a very efficient, responsive and knowledgeable team at his office it truly was a first class experience. In addition the after-sale care was also great. Our relationship did not end when we closed the deal and we respect that very much. We will have no hesitation in working with Roger and his team if we have real estate needs in Florida in the future.

We had decided to find a home in Florida through the internet. I met Norma over the phone. Norma went out of her way to accommodate my husband and I. Norma went to look at houses we were interested in and to our surprise she sent back videos. She took videos inside and out doors and around the street to show what type of neighborhood the house was located in. Her professionalism gave us the insight we needed beyond what was on paper. She kept us grounded and finally we got what we wanted. Norma is extremely good in keeping the paperwork in order and on schedule. She is incredibly responsive to all our questions and very flexible. She is not there to just make a sale she takes her job seriously and you will love her work ethics. Norma has been awesome in our house search. She was there for us when appraiser and Inspectors went to check the house out. She sent us back videos and feedback from all that was going on with the house. Buying a house via internet is not the best way, but with Norma it is a lot less nerve wracking; its like you are there with her! She is an experienced realtor with good customer service skills with profound and honest feedback on houses and neighborhoods. She has a knack of being comforting and gracious. She went the extra mile to make things clear in making good decisions. She speaks Spanish also. I can't recommend her enough!!! She's awesome. We love our home in Sarasota, Florida. Tom and Rachel

Through Candi's patient guidance and assistance, we purchased a home. She was so helpful and supportive is our search for a house. She even contacted us overseas when we were traveling! She is a true professional and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance in real estate.

Alison is a first-rate, top-notch agent. She represented us with absolute skill and professionalism. She knows the market, took the time to get to know us and our wants/needs, and was able to more than effectively take us to homes that met our criteria. She is outstanding at negotiating, getting things done, communicating, and truly caring about us as people. She has an eye for detail and was involved in every detail of the process from start to finish. I was referred to her by a very satisfied customer and we, as very satisfied customers, have already referred her to a friend. She is truly the best of the best and it was an absolute pleasure working with her throughout this process...and now we are thrilled home owners because of Alison and her ability to so skillfully manage this entire process.

Steve was Johnny on the spot with whatever I wanted or needed. Communiction was clear and concise and Steve's can-do attitude was always befitting a US Marine. I appreciated his service to me, his ongoing service to the buyer and his service to our country!

After another broker had our listing for 7 months, with no offers, we switched to Steve and Betty. We had more showings in the first two weeks than we had in the entire 7 months with the previous brokers and had an offer which was acceptable within a short time. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

We started looking for a home in Longboat Key, FL at the beginning of 2016. Norma was very informative of the local market and showed us 15 homes during our first weekend of looking. We were from out of state so we had to maximize our time and Norma definitely achieved this. Norma was very responsive throughout our process of searching, locating, putting the offer in, negotiating and finally purchasing the home. She was available any day and time of the week. Norma comes highly recommended and we will definitely use her services again.

Alison was an absolute joy to work with. We were a very challenging client with very specific requirements. She was very motivated to find our dream home, sending daily updates even if they were a bit outside of our lines. This kept our search fresh and challenged what we wanted and needed. She's extremely knowledgeable in her field and uses the latest tools to assist her buyers and sellers. There were many homes we were able to get glances at through the her social media posts. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a talented real estate agent.

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that we comment on our experience with Norma. As everyone knows, purchasing a new home is stressful but Norma made our experience a pleasant and easy one. She was readily available every step of the way and had the knowledge to deal with any situation that arose. We felt very confident with her behind the wheel of our transaction. Whenever we reached out with questions or concerns, Norma was professional, prompt and thorough and always made us feel that our concerns were important. Norma has that level of excellence you hope to find in the person you hire to handle one of the most important transactions of your life. She has many qualities that set her apart from all of the other agents I have dealt with and would not consider working with anyone else. Sandy
