Amy was very friendly. She always replied to our texts and emails. She always answered our questions giving us all options and giving us the pros and cons of each. She also was on top of all the deadlines. She was excellent in negotiating with the other realtor especially when the sellers were not out by closing. We will definitely recommend her to all our family and friends.

Rick made the home selling experience so easy for our busy family. He drove the whole process, from initial discussions on the local housing market to getting us under contract, in a short period of time. Rick is knowledgeable about the market and neighborhood, promptly answered every question we had, recommended quality contractors when needed, and ultimately led us to a smooth and successful home sale. I would recommend Rick to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Rick De Barros
We choose Rick every time! This home that Rick De Barros just sold for us was the very home he helped us find about 3 years ago! Our story is that we do move a lot due to work and there are a lot of excellent agents to choose from, but Rick is our go-to. He answers his phone, he returns calls and texts communicating anything big or small. Rick pursues details regarding the sale of the house down to the surveys and future projects that may affect any purchase. He flushes out answers to questions that I had no idea I had to ask. In my opinion it is a duty to understand some of the process I am about to embark on. Rick handled all of my questions and I had confidence to just let him "do his job", for I am not a professional in Real Estate. I am glad I could rely on him as we had to move on to the next phase quickly. Also, Rick has what seems like unlimited resources in his contact list that can help fix or answer any question. No kidding. I know, a story, but it's true: We had a "sticky" sliding door on our house from day 1, we just lived with it as we thought since the previous owners lived with it, it must be a huge fix. Then came the sad day of our open house (sad, as this was an amazing home to live in), Rick called a "guy", they did some phone troubleshooting to no avail and the "guy" showed up the NEXT day. Within 30 minutes you could slide - or should I say glide - that door open/close with 1 finger (facepalm on us). When we listed, he directed us on how to de-clutter our home for pictures and for the open house. Of course, we all know to "tone" it down, but, it's nice to get some set guidelines to follow as it's a hard emotional task to dismantle a life. Rick De Barros is straightforward and a quality person to deal with when buying or selling your home. He will inform, research and sell your home in a very professional manner. I wish him well! - Rebecca

I utilized Christopher Lowe's expertise to close an investment property that we were planning to rent. The fact that he was an investor himself; allowed for us to leverage his knowledge into a fantastic deal. We were in the Sarasota market and had to compete against multiple offers to land the deal. We ultimately decided to sell the property three months later and turned to Chris again. Due to his marketing the property made it to the number one most researched property on the MLS. We had multiple offers and sold the property for six figures more then we paid for it.

Brian is a terrific agent. He marketed our condo beautifully, got us just what we wanted. He was always there for us, answered every call, text and email, always kept us informed, nothing he wouldnt do to help close our deal. Great personality, great guy. Super professional.
Brian Ancona
Karen made our experience purchasing a house amazing! We purchased from out of state and she was with us every step of the way. Very professional and responsive. She lead us to the perfect house for us and coordinated everything. Thank you, Karen!

She sold my first home during a recession and it sold quickly and got top dollar ¹

Kassondra is pleasant, kind and thoughtful. She made our experience smooth in a time when buying a house was VERY stressful. She always kept us up to date on changes, and even went above and beyond by checking in our house before we were able to move down. She was always smiling and happy, and even sent us a card afterward to congratulate us on the house. We would personally recommend Kassondra to anyone! She is one of those rare people that can lift your spirit and make you feel like everything is going to be okay. Thank you for helping us find our dream house! :)
Kassondra Cotton
I have known Sharon for over ten years. She has helped me sell two homes and helped me find the perfect condo. She also helped my sister sell her condo in three hours! Sharon goes way out of her way to help her clients. She makes sure your home is ready without breaking the bank. She's not only a great realtor she's just good people. I am proud to say she is my friend.

We had used Rick previously, and had a wonderful experience. So when it came time again to list our home there was no question who we’d list with. Rick spends a lot of time upfront to ensure your home”s value is correctly priced. Then with an eye for detail assist with ensuring the little things about your home are set for sale. When your home is listed he works around the clock with the realtor community to educate and get the word out. We sold our home on the first showing! I highly recommend Rick and will use him again.
