We have purchased two homes and are in the process of selling another home with Alison. She always goes the extra mile for you. As out of state buyers, this has been really critical for us. Alison follows up on things that you may have forgotten about, has been willing to meet with inspectors and others when we couldn’t be at the home, has prepared all documents professionally and promptly. She offers great suggestions on things that we didn’t even think of. She’s always in touch. She even helped with my garage door, which wouldn’t stay closed. She’s pleasant. She’s kind. She’s very hard-working. Totally recommend Alison.

1000% recommend James! Extremely professional, quick response times, and extremely knowledgeable. Working with James was the best chance we took. We were in the market and his reviews looked great, but boy did they exceed my expectations. He is very well organized every step of the way and provides detailed instructions making your part of the process effortless. His communication was amazing as well. Job well done! If you’re looking, just stop right here, he’s worth it!
Hector listened to our needs and wants, we told him what budget best fits for our new home and he worked within our means. He was sure to communicate with other realtors on any house I was interested in, he knew what was best for us at heart. He was very knowledgeable about the market and even knew the flood zones like the back of his hand, whenever I would text and ask a question he did not mind answering or repeating himself, you need someone like him on your side. Who is patient, kind and honest. At the end of the day I ended up with a brand newly built house, I couldn’t have asked for more. Without him none of this would have happen, I sit now in my new home writting this, if I can do it, so you can you !
Having Marina represent you either as a buyer's or seller's agent is an excellent choice. Her knowledge and years of experience are evident. She makes herself available whenever you need her and she is very diligent. She is professional, friendly, and understanding. She is very resourceful, and has a strong network of contacts that can help you in any way needed (e.g., inspections, home improvements, etc.). She has strong negotiation skills and will help make your transaction run as smooth as possible. We recommend her highly!
Professional relationship with prompt responses. Knowledge of neighborhood and amenities.
It has been challenging in this real estate market. Steve has been reliable and attentive to most of our needs. He has vast knowledge of Prestancia golf and country club. which seemed to help with a sale of our property.
We came into town for the inspection of the condo and in discussing items we wanted to improve, Karie had a painter in the unit within an hour! Her friendliness, professionalism, advice, and ability to get things done left us knowing that we had a top tier ally on our side. 100% recommend Karie, if you want the best, Call her now!
Knows area like back of her hand. Numerous helpful contacts. Listened to what we needed and then produced.
I had a great experience working with Nidale while buying a home in the Sarasota area from out of town. She was professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond. Since I wasn't local, Nidale made the process much easier by keeping me updated, scheduling showings, and coordinating with the title company and everyone else involved to keep things moving. Buying a home can be stressful, especially when you're several hours away, but Nidale made the experience much smoother. She was always willing to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Nidale to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
