When we decided to sell a 1 acre building lot on Casey Key, several weeks were spent researching real estate firms and brokers. From 3 qualified brokers, we met with and received proposals/marketing plans and property value estimates. While we did not select the broker with the most experience or agents, we did manage to find the perfect fit. The best recommendation I can give Karie Backman is, she sold out property faster than expected for what we hoped it was worth. Excellent communication, great marketing materials, and a refreshing work ethic. We couldn’t be happier - Well done Karie!

Excellent who indeed is truly professional. Attended all home showing except two. Being an Interior Designer her talent is a surely a plus in review of the way your home is staged, and will suggest if a placement should be different, understands the local market, has an engaging personality, has a problem solver mindset, is honest, and self motivated. She has a network of connections. Her engaging personality and drive another great asset for any homeowner wishing to sell their home.

Karie is there for form beginning to end! I was so scared and she was right there to provide the comfort and confidence I needed! She is now a member of our family!

Karie was a consummate professional. She worked with me through a long and arduous search (we're talking well over a year) for the perfect home. When the right property appeared, everything fell into place. It was a seamless transaction. Thank you, Karie, for being such a wonderful agent. I would highly recommend Karie to anyone buying or selling in the Sarasota area.

Karie was exceptional to work with. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. She communicated very well and kept me informed each step of the way. She made it a very easy process. I highly recommend her, she’s the best!!

This was my first time buying a home and I did not know what to expect. Karie made the process very easy and her expertise is second to none. She answered every question we had in a timely and efficient manner. She made our home buying experience a great one and I would highly reccomend her to anyone who is looking to buy/sell their home. Thank you Karie!

Karie was wonderful to work with. She is very personable and professional and handled all the details from the home search to closing with ease. Karie quickly responded to messages and seemed to be available 24/7. I can’t say enough about how easy she was to work with and how supportive she was during the process. She found our dream home for us, made sure we got it and continues to be available to support us as we move in.

Karie helped us buy and sell a house in 2018. We felt very confident with her on our side to help with every aspect of buying and selling. She made everything convenient and was a great negotiator!

Karie Backman sold my fathers house in Sarasota, FL. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgable, communicated well and was very kind! She marketed the property extremely well and followed up on everything. Since I was out of state, she helped with set up of repairs or anything else that needed done. I would highly recommend Karie for anyone wanting to sell or buy a home!

Karie did a fabulous job guiding us through the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home. She helped us prepare our home to be marketed which resulted in a solid contract just 19 days after being listed. Karie’s negotiation skills are superb! We truly enjoyed working with her.

Loved working with Karie. She was very professional. All my questions were addressed quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to friends and acquaintances. She also sold our home we were in before buying this one. Her advise on how to stage our home helped to sell it in 5 days!!

Karie helped me buy my new house and sell my old house. She was professional, friendly and very helpful in all aspects of the transactions. I recommend her highly!
