1103 Blue Shell Loop Sarasota
We met Bill last fall when we first came to Florida looking for a condominium in Sarasota. He and his wife Cheryl showed us many lovely condominiums. We were trying to sell ours in Atlanta at the time. When we came back to Sarasota and they took us to more condominiums and also introduced us to Wild Blue in Lakewood Ranch. We liked a few homes in this area but still had to sell our home. Finally we sold our home and had a few weeks to close and find a new home. They sent us two videos and we chose one which they put on hold. In no time we were in Lakewood Ranch looking at what would be our new home. They were so great at seeing what we wanted and never forced us in a different direction. We are very happy in our new home! Our grandson and our daughter and son in law are very happy in theirs. They both bought from Bill and Cheryl as well! They were wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone I know who may want to move here!

Bob very clearly communicates the entire process from listing to closing and is available to discuss any details. Working with Bob was smooth and efficient which made buying and selling homes enjoyable.

Kari was a dream to work with. Very good clear communication. She went above and beyond helping me with getting things straightened out for my somewhat complicated closing. She was always very professional but also down to earth and easy to talk to. I would highly highly recommend Karie!!

Our agent, Karie Backman, was instantly responsive from the first day we signed our agreement. Karie did everything possible to get our home sold. From a very gregarious social media marketing plan to open houses. We were always busy with showings and it was just a matter of time before our house sold. Karie brought us past the finish line in first place Thank you for thinking of us first Karie. There was always open communication and questions answered in a timely manner. Karie helped us make decisions with professional insight, advice and acumen.

We first met Karie when we went to an open house of a property she was selling. While we were not interested in the property she was selling, we told her what we were looking for. She didn’t forget and when something became available that matched what we were looking for, she contacted us. Working with Karie Backman was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond to help us find the perfect condo, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guiding us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. What really set her apart was the incredible support she provided beyond just finding the property. She connected us with excellent vendor referrals for the work we needed done, recommended a great mortgage lender, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Karie was highly organized, detail-oriented, and always one step ahead. Having her there at our closing was the perfect example of her dedication and commitment to her clients. We always felt confident knowing she was in our corner. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and truly caring real estate professional, I would highly recommend Karie Blackman.

Andree was impressively responsive—texts, calls, and emails were answered quickly, and every answer was clear and actionable. What stood out most was how well she understood the local market and translated that knowledge into practical advice, whether it was pricing strategy or evaluating a property’s true value. Her negotiation style was steady and thoughtful, always focused on protecting our priorities while keeping the process smooth for everyone involved. She brought a level of professionalism and care that made the entire experience feel organized and stress‑free.
