My experience with Darrin was excellent. First, I started looking for the property in Sarasota few years ago. At that time it didn't work out. Since then, we maintained friendly business relationship. Darren is very knowledgeable not only in the real estate but also in financial part of it which was very useful. He's very responsive and flexible. I'm planning more purchases in Sarasota county and and he will be my guy for that. Certainly going to recommend him to my friends and family and anybody looking for house in West Florida.
We cannot say enough great things about Alison Stottlemyer — a true super agent in every sense. From the moment we listed, she approached the sale of our home as if it were her own, pouring her heart into every decision and detail. In a difficult market, Alison still managed to get us top dollar — thanks to her strategic mindset, tireless work ethic, and incredible eye for presentation. She was always one step ahead, anticipating every angle before we even had to ask. She personally invested in staging and brought a creative lens that helped our home shine. She coordinated top-tier photography and videography, and used her own voice and vision to craft a compelling story across social media — giving our home the kind of attention that made it stand out. Alison truly goes above and beyond. She doesn’t just list a home — she elevates it. If you’re looking for a dedicated, passionate, and results-driven real estate expert in Sarasota, Alison is the one you want in your corner.
From day one, Irma was present, proactive, and always just a phone call away.

Her dedication and responsiveness made us feel supported from the very beginning. Selling in today’s market isn’t easy, but Irma’s professionalism and skill set stood out immediately. She helped us sell our home within our desired timeframe, which speaks volumes about her expertise and commitment. When negotiations with potential buyers became tricky, Irma’s sharp negotiation skills made all the difference. She handled every back-and-forth with confidence, protecting our best interests and keeping the process on track. Irma truly went above and beyond for us—not just as a realtor, but as a trusted partner in the entire journey. Whether you’re buying or selling, she’s the one you want by your side.

This man was there for my wife and me whenever we needed him. We had seven days to find a home and on the seventh day we finally got the house my wife had wanted for months. Exceptional, Professional and great to work with I highly recommend Nathan!
I worked with Carey on several properties for the past 8 years and it has always been an absolute pleasure. She is persistent, more than helpful, well stocked with the right contacts, advice, and the kindest words. As a someone from the EU, I started out without any knowledge of the local market, and I would not have been able to succeed without Carey. I can only recommend her to be your agent.

My daughter in New York works for a Sotheby’s affiliate and introduced me to Roberta. From our very first meeting, we had an instant connection, and she—along with her wonderful assistant Jessica—took exceptional care of me throughout the entire process. Since I was only interested in purchasing a condo within the Essex House, my options were limited. When two units became available, Roberta and Jessica guided me through the negotiations and helped secure the perfect fit for my needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone—they will truly take great care of you
Carey knew what we wanted in a home and always steered that way. She was attentive and it gave us the impression that we were only clients. All in all our experience was wonderful
Steve and his associates sold our house in a difficult market for sellers. They made the transaction as easy as possible and were always reassuring and pleasant to deal with.
Correy provided great guidance in the buying process. Asked many questions- advised about multiple things. Provided a great new construction home inspector. We had tight timeframes and Correy helped facilitate the process greatly. A true professional! Thank you
Allison is very professional and knowledgable. She is very kind and was understanding to my situation. Always in contact and kept me updated to every step of the process. Very organized and easy closing.
