Choosing Karie as my realtor was the right choice at the right time. Selling a home from another state and a different time zone is no easy task, but Karie made the remote process seamless. It is easy to see why she is a top realtor in Sarasota. While she brings numerous strengths to the table, three in particular stood out. First, her deep knowledge of the Sarasota market, real estate processes, and local professional network is superior. Second, her vibrant, positive energy and creative marketing strategies hit the mark perfectly. Finally, her responsiveness was incredible – she was always quick to reply to my many calls, texts, and emails. Karie gave me complete peace of mind from start to finish, and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise.
Bill & Cheryl made the home-buying process easy and enjoyable. They were responsive, and accommodating. They are knowledgeable on the neighborhoods in the Sarasota and Siesta Key areas. They provided guidance and were customer-focused when helping us to find the right home. Bill & Cheryl have identified the best partners when looking for insurance, mortgage lenders, and closing agents. If you are in the market for a new house, condo, or property, Bill & Cheryl will deliver.
Karie is definitely on top of the list for agents in Sarasota.
No two ways about... Joe Cleary is a straight shooter with strong work habits, especially over-communicating through the often difficult transaction process. Good local resources and knowledge, good information, good advice, and abundant goodwill. I award him top marks for professionalism, and gratitude for his generous friendship. Representing buyer and seller together, he served honorably and with distinction. Excellent value!
Of course his knowledge of the basics of real estate is strong. But his willingness to take care of every aspect of the process goes above and beyond others. His participation doesnt stop until the closing money has changed hands. I could go on and on, but simply put, you need this guy on your side.
Steve represented be as a Seller and he did a great job. He priced my property appropriately, quickly got me under contract, and skillfully assisted me navigate diligence and closing to get the transaction accomplished.
We can start over 14 months ago when I was referred to Shawna by my previous realtor in Orlando. From day one, she was one of the most patient, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted people I’ve ever worked with. This was so much more than a real estate transaction. As someone who was still new to the area, I went through countless changes in location preferences and priorities. To be honest, I wasn’t always sure exactly what I wanted, but I usually had an idea—and Shawna always kept an open mind and helped guide me through the process. She consistently checked in, made herself available whenever I wanted to see properties, and was incredibly easy to reach. Her knowledge of the market and dedication to her clients are second to none. Over the course of 14 months, she wrote more than half a dozen offers for me, and eventually one finally stuck—in an area I never would have considered when we first started looking. Throughout the entire journey, she remained patient, supportive, and committed to helping me find the right home. Not only did she connect me with a fantastic mortgage lender and closing team, but she also became a realtor I will recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Shawna is truly one of the best in the business, and I am incredibly grateful for the connection and for everything she did to help me become a homeowner.
