Bill was excellent to work with and he worked great with our mortgage broker. Any issues were jumped on and resolved and closing was in less than a month. Any time we wanted to see a house once or even twice he was ready to go. As a lifelong residents of Sarasota, Bill was very knowledgeable about neighborhoods things to look for and things to avoid . We highly recommend Bill if you want to have a pleasant buying experience.

We listed our home and bought another one with Bill Fortner. Bill was very prompt, very easy to get in touch with, gave regular updates and feedbacks on showings, as well as showed us many houses in a very short period of time until we found our perfect home. Bill has lived in Sarasota his whole life and it was a huge help as well as knew the other agents very well. He was present at both closings and helped us tremendously through both sales. We very highly recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.

I have known William professionally for over 30 years, he as respresented me as a seller and a buyer on numerous real estate transactions. William is a lifelong resident of Sarasota and knows every aspect of the real estate industry for the Sarasota area. Over the last few months William has guided me on the prospect of purchasing investment properties in the area. William brings a wealth of knowledge and honesty to the table for every real estate transaction.

Best Realtor in Sarasota-Bradenton area. Excellent photos and description. Home sold faster then we expected. In only 7 days. William has also sold other properties for us and we have always had an excellent experience.

Selling a house is stressful. We all know that. But Bill made it go really smooth. I would highly recommend Bill if you are looking to buy in the Sarasota area. He is extremely knowledgeable and was always available when we had questions.

Bill did an incredible job both selling our former home and getting us our forever home. In selling the old house, he placed ads on social media, targeted boating enthusiasts since we had a dock and held several open houses. The home was 2 story which can be a hard sell in Florida. He gave valuable ideas for staging the house to make it more appealing. He also advised us on an asking price that was fair and competitive. This enabled us to put a bid in our new home. His knowledge of price points let us place the right offer. We couldn’t be happier with Bill and highly recommend him whether you are buying or selling.
