Hi Stephanie. Is this okay? I haven’t clicked on the link yet. Just wanted to check with you to see if this might be all right. Thanks, my dear. For over two decades, Stephanie Bell, the owner along with her husband Rich of Fran Maxon Real Estate, has been our rental agent. We have been extremely happy with the rapid and very able way in which Fran Maxon over the years responded to the guests who have rented our Anna Maria house. When we decided to sell our house, we didn’t hesitate to have Stephanie represent us. Stephanie knows the Island. Her vast knowledge, particularly of the issues facing purchasers who want to buy a home for rental income, makes her uniquely qualified to assist purchasers with a goal of rental income. On the flip side, sellers, like us, are helped by her broad experience and knowledge of the market and consequently, her skilled pricing and marketing of houses for sale in Anna Maria. For these reasons, we highly recommend Stephanie Bell to anyone considering purchasing or selling on Anna Maria Island.

Our family has owned a beach house on Anna Maria Island for 40 years. We have rented that property during the winter months through Fran Maxon real estate. I personally have worked with Fran Maxon Realty since 2013 specifically with Stephanie. She has always handled our rentals and now the sale of that property expertly and efficiently. My family intends to continue to vacation in the area and we are using Stephanie for that rental need. Stephanie is a very reliable and personable realtor.

We have know Stephanie for over 20 years. She found and sold is our first house on AMI 20 years ago and has been our property manager for that entire time. She recently helped us find our dream home on Siesta Key. Total pro, works hard and will get the deal done on time. She awesome!

We first met Stephanie through friends; she happened to be their agent. We joined our friends one afternoon while they toured homes and saw firsthand how skilled Stephanie is. She is professional, knowledgeable, patient, communicates well, and thoroughly knows the market. When it was our turn to buy, we found a home of interest while on vacation in the area. We hadn’t anticipated that we would find a home so quickly thus hadn’t reached out to an agent. We contacted Stephanie that evening and she met us the next morning fully prepared to help us navigate the home and area. She successfully guided us through the purchase of that home. Her organizational skills are tremendous, making our move to Florida seamless. Highly recommend!

I told Stephanie what I was looking for and the very first listing she showed me was exactly what I was looking for. She is professional and knows the island extremely well. Best of all she is a friendly and quality person.

Stephanie Bell was a top notch realtor end to end. Her communication and response times were fantastic. I was selling a property from afar and could not be onsite. She was able to offer her advice and local expertise and put my mind at rest by handling all the details that I could not get to from a long distance. She was incredibly professional and I feel she got us the best price for the market conditions. She also helped us with our tenant as well as managed contractors for home repair projects. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I would highly recommend Stephanie Bell! Because of Stephanie's knowledge, quick response to my many, many questions and concerns, and her warm, friendly personality, my property purchase has gone smoothly and has been a pleasant experience. So thankful for all her help!
