My husband and I were planning to buy a house in Venice, Fl and move from out of state. The importance of finding the right realtor is paramount. I went through many sources in search of OUR realtor. When I saw Kari's photo and then read her biography, I knew my intuition was right. Thank God, I listened. Kari Pate was the One. She has a very impressive track record and we trusted her completely from the very first phone call. She proved herself to be very responsible, very knowledgeable, a thorough professional, and on top of that, she was just a very kind, friendly, sincere and charming woman! My husband and I knew we were in good and safe hands! She walked with us all the way to the very end after we found OUR home! Kari supported us through the ups and downs of the challenging process of finding our dream home. She was always emotionally and professionally involved! Her excellent go-anywhere skills have helped us tremendously! She is well organized, very responsive to any issues, emails, questions etc... She is very gentle, does not push you or make decisions for you, but politely guides you in the right direction! Whatever she recommends, if at first glance it does not seem quite right, it is actually right! Because Kari has a lot of experience and she knows her job like no one else! If you want a realtor who will support you, be professional, honest, sincere and 100% involved in your journey - Kari Pate is it! She became our dear friend and the first closest person in Venice. Thank you for everything you have done for us during the long but fun months of our shared adventure! You are simply the best, and we couldn't be luckier! We highly recommend Kari Pate as a REALTOR! Kari has an impressive motto: "I served our country, please let me serve you!" and she truly does serve YOU.

Debbie couldn't be more helpful than she was. Especially since we weren't there to upgrade a bit with the landscaping, power wash, change trim on the house, getting rid of things and also doing a great job with upgrading. I would highly recommend Debbie as the realtor to use.

From day 1 we knew Mike was our agent. He not only sold us our brand new home, he found it, made several construction site visits, with video updates, and guided us through the process of buying a new construction home even though we were 1,500 miles away the entire time. He also sold our existing condo in record time even though other properties similar properties remain on the market. His professional approach to listing, marketing and closing a sale are second to none! Thanks, Mike for your incredible commitment to your craft!

I initially called Mike about one of his listings, and was not intending to hook up with a realtor quite yet. As an out of state buyer, I had also never purchased a property in Florida before. While the property I called about was not right for me, Mike was so personable and knowledgeable, I quickly knew he was the right realtor for me; no BS; absolute professionalism. After reviewing multiple listings Mike sent to me, I flew down to Sarasota and did a two day marathon viewing houses. As a recent retiree who has renovated several homes through the years, I had promised myself I would not buy another fixer upper, but when you find the right home, you have to go with it. Mike educated me about the pros and cons and local regulations regarding the property. With me back North, Mike attended all of the inspections (property, sewer, mold, pool) and kept in close contact with me. He helped me to negotiate an excellent buying price, and also to obtain temporary housing during the renovation. It has been several weeks since the closing, and Mike continues to assist me and be available for questions and obstacles. I don't think I could have done this without his help, dedication and knowledge (without losing my sanity lol). I have nothing but accolades for Mike. If you want a top notch realty agent, without question, contact Mike Martino!
