These agents were always available to answer any questions I had throughout the entire process. I honestly learned a lot during the entire buying process with the help of these fantastic agents. They always knew what I wanted without even having to ask and that took a lot of the pressure off my fiancé and myself. Could have asked for better agents to go through the home buying process with.

Kara Brooks Is the best Realtor that we have ever dealt with. Our real estate transaction was a bit unique, and putting it bluntly, somewhat difficult. She negotiated stormy waters pleasantly and professionally, and my family couldn’t be happier with her performance. Any future real estate transactions that our family has will go only to Kara Brooks. We are so thankful that she has been part of our world.

Joe Harris and his team did an outstanding job selling our home in Lakewood Ranch. He and Charles Totonis from his team are by far the BEST of the best of the realtors in the area (Sarasota County, Manatee County). They sold our brand new Stock home in a heartbeat to a great price, even though there was heavy competition from the builders in that community still under development. Not an easy task. Another realtor from a prestigious luxury realtor group in that area failed completely ! They have extremely good market knowledge, outstanding sales techniques, they are 100% honest sincere and credible. Our next sale is with them again ! Naturally ! Joe Harris is with Sotheby’s since a long time ago, not with Keller Williams as shown here. Sotheby’s is a world class network with Gold Medal Marketing and global reach !

Kara was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was proactive and very communicative every step of the way, from our very first meeting to signing the closing documents on the amazing home I just closed on. She is kind, attentive, thorough, resourceful, and professional with a great eye for detail. She went above and beyond through our entire time working together. I will be using her and her team for any of my real estate needs in the future.

Kara was very professional, knowledgeable, and has great communication skills. She was also very timely getting answers to our many questions. She made us feel as if we were here only client, which was a refreshing change from past experiences with other realtors…we would highly recommend her services.

Kim Ide was great. She knew I am was going to be an out of town buyer which meant more responsibility working with me. She made wonderful recommendation for services, attended the walk through and closing on my behalf. She did a lot of research for me since I was out of town. She was very patient as I asked a thousands questions, asked her to resend emails and explain things to me more than once. I trusted her from the very beginning and that is so important while going through the condo buy journey. I would highly recommend Kim Ide to anyone and everyone.

This was my fourth transaction working with Roberta, and once again she has exceeded expectations. Although she is my mother, we maintain a professional relationship through every real estate transaction. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and a true advocate for her clients every step of the way. Roberta communicates clearly, stays on top of every detail, and ensures the process feels smooth and well-managed from start to finish. One of the things I appreciate most is her ability to connect clients with reputable, trustworthy referrals when additional support is needed. The lenders she recommended were outstanding—responsive, efficient, and made a significant difference in how seamless the transaction was. Roberta and her professional team consistently deliver a high level of service, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients’ success. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Roberta to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced real estate professional.

Top notch professionals!

I had the most wonderful experience working with Roberta and her incredible team (Jessica) . My daughter, who works for a Sotheby’s affiliate (Daniel Gale) in New York, connected me with Roberta & Jessica, and from the very first meeting I knew I was in the best hands. They instantly made me feel comfortable, listened carefully to what I was looking for, and provided thoughtful guidance every step of the way. I had my heart set on staying in the building where I was currently renting, even though there wasn’t much inventory available. Roberta & her team kept a close eye on the market, and when the perfect unit finally came on, she moved quickly and skillfully to help me secure it. Thanks to her expertise, we successfully negotiated the deal, and the entire process was seamless, smooth, and handled with the highest level of professionalism. Roberta is truly exceptional at what she does—knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated—and she made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her, along with the Sotheby’s brand, to anyone looking to buy or sell.

I’ve worked with Roberta Tengerdy three times now—in 2008 when I bought my first home, then in 2022 when my wife sold her home, and again in 2025 when my wife and I sold our first home. I wouldn’t use anyone else. Roberta works incredibly hard for her clients and has a remarkable ability to negotiate. She will fight for you every step of the way. I worked mostly with Roberta, but also with Carolyn Barker Collins, and together they make a fantastic team. When the Sarasota real estate market was hot, their expertise was invaluable, but when the market cooled down more recently, it became absolutely crucial. They know how to assess the true value of your home and how to advocate for you so that you get the best outcome possible. What really stands out is their honesty. They don't just tell you what you want to hear—she tells you what you need to hear. For example, they told me my yard needed fixing up before listing. It created a lot of work for me, but she was right, and it made a difference. Even more importantly, they put our interests ahead of their own when we we were selling. That kind of integrity is rare, and it showed me how trustworthy they really are. If you’re looking for agents who will work tirelessly, negotiate fiercely, and always put your interests first, I can’t recommend Roberta and Carolyn highly enough.
