We moved to Florida and being from out of state there are many new things to manage when home shopping. Chuck and Kate were more than knowledgable in navigating a post hurricane market for us. They helped us find a home that would fit our needs, lifestyle, and more. Between the time limitations we had and the specifications and location we were so happy to find a good home with no prior mold, damage, or major issues so that nothing would hold up the closing process with inspections. Thanks for making this experience even better than key lime pie on a hot summers day!

Katie and Chuck were excellent at communicating results from open houses and other viewings. When there was a question by a potential buyer regarding if a fence was allowed by the HOA, they worked tirelessly to obtain the information in a timely manner. Right after I had listed my home for sale I had to move. Meanwhile Katie and Chuck managed the maintenance of my property and pool. I admired their professionalism, excellent handling of the whole process of the sale of my property, knowledge of the market and friendliness. I had a wonderful experience working with them. Thank you Katie and Chuck. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

Chuck was extremely upfront with us from day one about the listing for our house. We have know him and his family for over 30 years and had the utmost respect for his knowledge and experience. His recommendations were spot on and resulting in minimal marketing time. House sold within 4 weeks while others in our community have been on the market for months.

After trying to act as my own buying agent scouring zillow for properties and guessing my way through several failed offers, I was looking for a real estate agent with both knowledge of the Manatee County market and moral character that I could trust to look out for my family's best interests. I am lucky that I found Michelle. Not only does she have those qualities, she also knows how to best communicate with me, other agents, other professionals with warm respect and blunt clarity. Originally we priced my home high because my timeline allowed some room to test the market waters. When a much lower offer came in, I immediately wanted to dismiss it, but Michelle explained why I should reconsider. She worked with the buying agent toward the offer that I was happy to accept. Michelle is also hard-working. During a first walk-through of the home we are happily settled in now, my husband left his cell phone in the attic while inspecting insulation and roofing. The house was locked up tight by the time we found out that his phone was missing around 6pm. I called Michelle to let her know what had happened, and without missing a beat she offered to get the phone. That night she drove all the way back from Bradenton to her home in the Ellenton area to grab a truck and ladder. She then drove back to Bradenton, climbed the ladder and dug around the ceiling insulation to find my husband's cell phone. The following morning he picked up his phone from her front porch on the way to work. I certainly did not expect and do not expect that kind of generosity, but it is one of many examples that show Michelle Ward is one in a million.
