I’ve known my realtor for many years, but I had never experienced his work professionally until now—and wow, I am beyond satisfied. He truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process. What stood out most was his communication—no matter the time of day, whenever I had questions or needed clarification, he was always there, ready to help. That level of responsiveness gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated his honesty—he always told me the truth upfront. He laid out all the options clearly and helped me see what the best decision was. He walked me through everything step by step in a clear way, so there were no surprises—because he always advised me upfront on what could happen. Even if some things were out of his or the other team’s hands, I was fully prepared. He made everything feel smooth and stress-free, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients. Experiencing his work firsthand gave me a whole new level of respect for what he does. I would absolutely recommend him—he exceeded all my expectations.
Anne got an offer on our house in 4 days, and we settled for a contract price within a few thousand dollars of our target price. We couldn't be happier with the experience

Carolyn Collins is an extraordinary real estate agent who listened to and understood what we wanted in our home. She adjusted her schedule to meet with us any time and any place; gave honest advice on improvements that a house might need; understood house utilities, and referred us to expert house inspection firms and other services, all with a genuinely positive, upbeat attitude. She and her colleagues accurately communicated our requests to the seller's broker and made sure all the open items were swiftly addressed. Importantly, she understood and explained the complicated real estate purchase and closing process to us which allayed our concerns. Sotheby's has a great team, including Roberta and others, who sent us houses to look at through an easy-to-use portal. I highly recommend Carolyn and Sotheby's in Sarasota to anyone who wants a well-seasoned, professional and service-focused team. Thank you, all!
Rachel and her father, Rick were a great team! Together they were able to combine both of their perspectives into the best plan to sell the grandparents house. We are from out of state, and they went above and beyond the call of duty to stage the house, to create a very professional video, and to get the house sold for the best price we could get! We highly recommend!
We've had the pleasure of working with Alison to buy or sell six times in Sarasota, which says everything about how much we love her grace, her professionalism, her extensive information base on both the legalities and the neighborhoods, and her incredible optimism. She is the master of the deal but also the master at closing with everything as it should be. She has the patience to wait until you see the home that makes your toes tingle, and the eye to know when an offer can be pushed to a better level. On numerous occasions, she reminded us when to push and when to pull back, when to let go and when to let her work her magic. We highly recommend Alison to anyone who needs a realtor, and in fact have done so several times. We know that her excellence isn't a one-time thing but a lifetime of honing her skills and working with hundreds of clients. We know, with absolute certainty, that she will be as good for you as she was for us. Our realtor relationship is at an end as we move to another state, but our friendship will last for a lifetime. Thank you, Alison.
Jennifer Albright was my agent. My house had some positive qualities and some issues and we adjusted the price accordingly as we worked on the sale. She was great at understanding my needs, held multiple open houses and we had honest conversations about the property that lead to a sale during the summer season. I felt very lucky to have her as my agent.
Joe assisted my sister and me with the sale of our parents residence in Sarasota, Florida after the death of our dad and our mom wanting to move back to Massachusetts. Our parents house needed some remediation prior to getting the house on the market. Joe was great in explaining what needed to be repaired or renovated and he connected us with several subcontractors in the Sarasota/Bradenton area to have the work completed in a timely manner and a fair price for the work. We were not only satisfied with the work but the experience working with Joe in the process. He oversaw that the work was completed and sent us pictures, so we did not have to travel from Massachusetts to inspect the work. For the sale of the house, Joe was the consummate professional and his knowledge of the local market led to a very active and successful showing of the property. We had several offers in days and was able to close on the sale of the property in under 45 days. Highly recommend Joe. His number one goal is to make sure you are happy with the transaction.

Echo came highly recommended from Duff Rubin, President of Caldwell Banker Realty. She definitely validated this through her professionalism. Echo has excellent market knowledge, a friendly, positive demeanor, and attentive, quick response time to calls and emails. As well, she had our home sold in a soft market, in what i would consider record pace. Thanks again Echo!
From the moment I met Debra it was clear that she is an excellent realtor. She had a in-depth understanding of the local and national markets and the current trends. She was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the transaction. Looking for a home took a significant amount of time. As an out-of-state buyer, I was unable to view all the properties I considered. Debra went above and beyond to make it possible to see anything I was interested in, touring homes for me on FaceTime and providing feedback on each property based on what was important to me. Debra worked tirelessly to find the best property and work on my behalf to negotiate a contract. After the contract was signed, Debra continued to be in contact with me on a regular basis. She followed up on every detail to make certain that closing was scheduled and timely. There were some things to attend to after closing and Debra helped in every way. I cannot say enough about the exceptional level of service she provided. There are many good realtors, but exceptional is hard to find. Debra is the best of the best and anyone would be lucky to have her on their side.
Nidale is wonderful! We have purchased 3 properties thru Nidale. She is honest, hardworking, dedicated and thoughtful. We would recommend her 100%
