Savvy and Experienced

It's no secret that the current market is tough for condos in Florida. Michael understands this and has developed an approach in marketing that meets the challenge. The collateral Michael created, ,both physical and virtual presented our property to the widest audience of interested buyers in a polished and professional manner. His approach resulted in our receiving 2 offers in only 6 showings resulting in an excellent deal with a quick close.

Michael worked so very hard and diligently to present my home for sale in the very best ways! He has amazing marketing and people skills that go beyond the norm. He spent considerable time with beautiful brochures, online advertising, and all media exposure. Everything from the very start made me feel comfortable and confident that I had chosen the right realtor. He has always ,thru the entire process and after, been there for me. He helped me to navigate the confusing and complicated process of selling my home and dealing with any problems that arose. I can’t praise Michael enough for his professionalism, humor, and, definitely, patience! Not only did I gain a great realtor but also a friend. I highly recommend Michael to anyone in the process of buying or selling their home!

Selling a property with Michael went perfectly

Selling a property with Michael went perfectly

Having sold several properties, I have never worked with an agent as effective as Michael. He knows the market, kept me up-to-date at each step, and provided insight on everything from plumbing to paint colors. He went above and beyond by helping prepare the house for sale and ensuring the work got done in a timely manner. It was a really great experience and I am looking forward to working with him again.

Michael Ballantyne is one of kind! He is very knowledgeable in his field and he is a great listener

Michael was amazing from the beginning to the end! He was prepared with several listings that met our criteria each time we met. Answered numerous questions at various times of the day/night. Most importantly, for every call or meeting, he devoted his time 100 percent to us! We never felt rushed. As we were touring multiple listings, Michael was favorably known by other agents. He has a stellar reputation that has been rightfully earned. My husband and I most appreciated his expertise that guided our decision to buy a home in Florida without imposing his own desires on us to make a sale. Everyone should be so fortunate to have Michael Ballantyne by their side when buying a home!

Michael made our long distant upgrade of our Sarasota property possible.

Michael helped us out in a Big way to get our property ready to put on the market. Researching and taking his personal time for us to upgrade flooring, lighting, interior and exterior paint, and landscaping. Property would not have been market ready without him.
