We initially met Courtney and Michael online when we were moving to Lakewood Ranch. Their expertise and knowledge in the market was exceptional. They also helped us sell a house in Lakewood Ranch, and they provided extraordinary service. The marketing and photos/ video were very professional and well done. They attended every showing of our house and provided feedback. It is nice to have such professionals that you can trust!
Working with Courtney and Michael Chenkus to sell our home at 962 Sea Scape Place in Sarasota, FL was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They are the kind of real estate professionals who immediately earn your trust with their knowledge, integrity, and genuine commitment to their clients. Their guidance on preparing and pricing our home was spot‑on, and their marketing strategy showcased the property beautifully. Throughout the entire process, they communicated clearly, responded quickly, and made sure we always felt informed and supported. What truly sets Courtney and Michael apart is their teamwork. They complement each other perfectly — thoughtful, detail‑oriented, and incredibly proactive. Any challenge that came up was handled with calm confidence, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful sale. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome or the experience. If you’re looking for realtors who combine expertise with true care for their clients, Courtney and Michael Chenkus are an outstanding choice.
Courtney and Michael did a great job coordinating different times for showing the options in the area and identifying a few properties that worked for what I was looking for. Then during the purchase process navigated a number of issues that came up in order to get the deal closed. Great experience from the beginning to close with them.
Michael and Courtney Chenkus are everything we are looking for in a real estate agent when buying a new home. Their videos of Lakewood Ranch and Windward in general and our chosen Savannah II home model in particular were key in helping us make the decision of community and home design. Before we even moved here, Courtney was really great at listening to and understanding our list of new home features, amenities and location and expertly narrowed down to only a few neighborhoods to evaluate in person. After we arrived, driving around with Courtney looking at several neighborhoods and designs was very efficient and exactly what we needed to confirm our choice. During the year-long build process, Michael frequently went by our house and showed video and gave comments about items to bring to our builder's attention, which we believe contributed to a superior quality home. Additionally, they took the time to review loan offers and closing documentation to help us not miss any important details. As a result, everything went as well as it possibly could. Finally, Courtney took the time to join us during the walk-through and that was above and beyond customer service. We weren't certain about what we didn't know to look for, and she was a welcome voice of reason and assurance. We could not imagine better real estate agents and will without reservation use them for all real estate needs going forward. We ended up with the home of our dreams, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Michael and Courtney Chenkus for guiding us through that process from imagining to close. We recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell in the Lakewood Ranch area.
Our experience working with Courtney and Michael Chenkus was outstanding! We were living in VA and researched MANY realtors before selecting them to help us find a home in Lakewood Ranch. They are both SUPER knowledgeable about the area, they really listen to your wants/needs and are just overall great people. There was no pressure at all - they were so patient with us as we changed our minds about wanting resale or new construction. We chose new construction. Courtney and/or Michael sent us video walk-throughs every couple of weeks! They truly are a team. It was so beneficial to have the videos and emails during the build - it was like we were there. Such a relief. They answered any questions and would point out things that we may not have thought of. During closing, they made sure we got ALL the possible discounts/incentives. Do not hesitate to contact the Chenkus team!
I can’t say enough good things about working with Michael and Courtney. Buying a home from out of state can be stressful, but they made the entire process so much easier. From our first conversation, Michael and Courtney were incredibly responsive and always made time to answer my many questions.Thanks to Michael and Courtney I found the perfect place in Lakewood National and couldn’t be happier. I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the area—especially if you’re doing it from out of state!
Michael and Courtney were so helpful with the sale of our condo. The work they did to market our property far exceeded our expectations. It was a smooth process thanks to their efforts.
I bought my home in Country Club East with the help of Courtney and Michael Chenkus, who also sold my previous home, both closing on the same day. Referred by a past client, I quickly saw why they came so highly recommended—they were consummate professionals, incredibly responsive, and truly invested in my success. Their hands-on marketing approach set them apart, allowing me to be completely hands-off while they handled everything seamlessly. From preparing my home for sale to navigating every detail, they provided expert guidance, and when I was in a time crunch, Michael even stepped in to handle last-minute touch-ups himself. Their dedication and polished approach made the entire process stress-free, and I couldn’t be happier with my new home!

Courtney and Mike were great realtors to work with. They were patient, knowledgeable, and thorough during our home buying journey. We really appreciated the extra lengths they went through with weekly video updates/walk-throughs on our new construction home!
Michael and Courtney helped our family find a new home in another state. They took the time to show us around based on our needs and answered all of our questions and concerns. We thought it would be challenging to manage this process remotely, but M&C did a wonderful job keeping us informed until closing. They have been professional, courteous, and responsive. We highly recommend their service.
We found Courtney and Michael on YouTube while researching Lakewood Ranch. They have so many great videos on Lakewood Ranch communities, activities, restaurants and more. We suggest subscribing to their channel. Michael and Courtney know the area well and have great insights. After looking at many houses & communities with them, we found a great community that met everything on our checklist. We decided to build a new home and strongly recommend using them for new construction. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. They communicated regularly, sent us weekly videos on our construction, answered questions, helped with issues and partnered with us for the entire year it took to build our home. They went above and beyond and were a great resource.
