When I found my new home through another broker's open house I knew I needed Steve's specialist knowledge to make the purchase happen. I was prepared to offer a quick closing and Steve's contacts were essential to getting the inspections sorted out and subsequent negotiations finalized. Post-closing he has offered to help with referrals to various contractors and vendors.
When I first met Shannon, I was very impressed with her knowledge of the area and her presentation was excellence. She was constantly in contact with me. I would recommend Coldwell Banker to anyone who wants 100% attention to every detail and keeps in touch with you and they always takes your calls. They are a great Real Estate Company to do business with.
This is the second home Steve has sold us. He is extremely knowledgeable about the South Sarasota Real Estate market and can give excellent guidance when it comes to purchasing a home for the "fair" price. His knowledge base of all of the facets that one should consider before purchasing a property is vast. He has also been an excellent resource in multiple areas related to post sale. Who to use for remodeling, what type of floor, what color and type of stone, what colors are going out and which are more classic. We are planning to sell one of our homes in the Oaks and would not consider using anyone but Steve.
Steve and his team understood our goals. They gave us a full rounded approach in helping us purchase our new condo as we were down sizing from a 5300 sf home to a 2300 sf condo. They were able to help us negotiate a great price on our new condo as, They secured a great offer in one day on our home. They understood the market coming and going and gave us the attention to all the details and guidance. All this in an unstable market with memories of two hurricanes only six months ago. We went into the process with apprehension and came out reaching all our goals. Great job! Thank you Joan & Don
Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is so professional and reliable, and always returns your text messages in a timely manner. He helped both buy and sell my condo. With his great knowledge and keen awareness of the market, his advice on setting the right listing price made the whole process very smooth and less stressful. Steve is invaluable and I will highly recommend to anyone !!!
I found the Abbe group to be very professional throughout the buy/sell process. Shannon has helped me sell two properties during a difficult real estate market. I found the whole Abbe team to be first class when setting realistic prices, then listing and showing the properties. I would highly recommend and plan to use the Abbe group again in the future.
We contracted with Steve to sell our Sarasota condominium in a tight market. His professionalism, knowledge of the Sarasota real estate market, and connections in our area led us to choose him over other realtors. We prepared to keep our place in a 'show ready' state for what we expected would be close to a year. To our surprise, our condo sold in three weeks! Steve is always working behind the scenes for the customer, looking at a potential seller or buyer and matching them up with the best property for their need. He is one of the best, and we are happy to have chosen him as our realtor. Thank you Steve Abbe!!!
If you are looking for a home in Sarasota, Osprey, Venice (areas we looked at), Steve’s your guy! Being new to the area, we appreciated his knowledge and expertise. He’s honest, hard working, and a nice guy. Highly recommend!
STEVE DID A GREAT JOB, NO HASSLES. WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. MANY THANKS!
Steve is extremely professional and has outstanding knowledge of the market. He was very prompt in replying to our many questions and was instrumental in helping us buy the home we wanted. I absolutely will recommend him to any of our friends looking to buy in the Sarasota area.
Steve was a pleasure to work with. He was patient with us off and on for 2 years while we searched for our vacation home in Siesta Key. We made a few Offers over that time and he hung in there with us. Great local market knowledge and just a nice person to be around. Appreciate your help and guidance Steve!
It was a pleasure working with Wendy Ross and Steve Abbe for the recent sale of our home. Based on their experience, the home was priced well to sell, and we were thrilled it did so quickly. Wendy communicated extensively with us along the way, providing us all the necessary information we needed and answered all our questions. What can be an incredibly stressful experience was made easier for us, and we appreciate that. Would highly recommend the team of Wendy Ross and Steve Abbe.
