It’s always great to work with people who are masters at their chosen profession. Joe Murphy and his team are the best. They have extensive knowledge of the Lakewood Ranch market and they are have great creds. We had a great purchase experience and highly recommend Joe, Mike Novak and rest his team.
Alison is an exceptional real estate agent and an amazing person. This was an emotional sale for our family and Alison knew how to communicate in a way that made everyone comfortable and could deal with any question that we threw her way. Her follow up with us and other realtors made this process very pain free. We would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to make a complicated process a smooth one.
Working with Andree Huffine was a wonderful and easy experience! From the start, she was so attentive to what I was looking for and curated options that truly matched my preferences, making the entire home-buying process so smooth and easy. Andree is market savvy, highly attentive, professional, and dedicated—I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a new home — she is the absolute best!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Bill and Cheryl during our home purchase. From our very first conversation, they made us feel comfortable, listened carefully to what we wanted, and treated us like more than just clients. Bill and Cheryl were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer our questions. They guided us through every stage of the process, helping us understand our options and making sure we felt confident in our decisions. When it came time to make an offer and navigate negotiations, they were strong advocates for us and always had our best interests in mind. Their communication was exceptional, and we always felt informed and supported. Buying a new construction home can be overwhelming, but Bill and Cheryl's calm approach, professionalism, and dedication made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We are grateful for everything they did to help us find our new home and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and patient realtors.

We had a great experience working with James. Very professional and clearly knows the Sarasota market. Outstanding, clear communication; he kept us in the loop every step of the way. I would highly recommend him for buying or selling.
Mike assisted is in every aspect of selling and purchasing our new home. He was very knowledgeable of the market and communicated with us constantly. We felt like we were a priority and received his undivided attention. Hands down the best realtor i have ever worked with. A true gentleman.
We worked in the field with Chris while Cheryl handled the administrative side. Chris understood what we were looking for and quickly adjusted to our search style. We are very quick when it comes to viewing homes and Chris knew exactly how many we could see in our visits from out of state. When we were with Chris, he focused entirely on us. He scheduled 100% of his time on our home search and was not distracted. Chris & Cheryl are on top of all the state requirements for buying a home and easily explained them to us. We felt so comfortable working with such a confident team! Chris is knowledgeable, efficient and funny. He even went so far as to accommodate for our little dog during one visit! We found a wonderful home and closed right on time. Chris & Cheryl were able to handle any issues for us while we were out of town and made sure everything went smoothly. We 100% recommend Chris & Cheryl for your home search!
We had such a great experience working with Alison Stottlemyer! We were relocating from Chicago, which can be really stressful, but she made the whole process so much easier. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always available when we had questions, even with us being out of state for a lot of it. Alison really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find a home we absolutely love — it's beautiful and exactly what we wanted. She went above and beyond during the inspection and final walkthrough, making sure everything was taken care of and that we felt confident every step of the way. On top of being knowledgeable and on top of every detail, she's just genuinely kind and friendly. It felt like working with a friend who really had our best interests at heart. Our experience was so positive I referred her to my mother and grandmother in their search for a home in Sarasota. We can't recommend her enough!
Anne's market knowledge was impressive. She gave us honest advice, negotiated hard on our behalf, and saved us time and money. When issues came up during inspection. She handled everything calmly and kept us informed every step of the way. Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. We'd absolutely work with her again and have already recommended her to friends.
Midge is a fantastic realtor and person. She went above and beyond to help us sell our Condo. Would highly recommend her. A++++++
