What do you do, when your elderly mother, who lives 4 hours away, loses her lifelong spouse and has made the tough decision to relocate near one of her children? Unless you experience this, you don't realize how stressful this is. While dealing with my mothers situation, I leaned on Jeanne to work her Magic and she hit the ground running! Not only did we need a place but it had to be in the vicinity of a supermarket. While I was away, figuring everything out the move, Jeanne was on the other end tirelessly looking and facetiming me from various locations. Once we chose a place (that we loved) it was not over. Jeanne is true professional who is meticulous, relentless, "thorough", compassionate and loving. I have recommended her to family and friends and they all walk away feeling the way we do! Jeanne I can't thank you enough for being my rock during such a difficult time, I truly treasure you. With Love, Liza.
We came in from out of town with limited time and information. Andrew was extremely helpful, showing us a variety of homes and taking the time to show us even more options when requested. In the end, I loved the very first house he showed us. It was clear that he truly listened to our needs and found the perfect fit for us. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a great realtor.
We could not be more satisfied with all the work that Debra did to sell our house this past July. We were fortunate to meet her because she had just sold two houses in our neighborhood. Her knowledge of the market guided us in how to start the selling process. She listened to our needs and requests and followed through on all we asked. Her suggestions were welcome and very helpful. Always ready to go the extra mile, she even helped with staging. Debra answered every call promptly, answered all our questions and was present at our home for every step involved in the selling and inspection of our home. We could not have asked for more support and appreciate all the effort Debra put into this sale. We can recommend Debra as a true and dedicated real estate professional.
Communicated well. Answered questions promptly.
We’re so thankful for Dee. Buying a home felt overwhelming at times, but they were there for us through every step—answering our questions, explaining things patiently, and helping us make the right decisions. What made it even more special is that Dee is also our friend. We always felt they truly cared about us, not just about closing a sale. They worked hard to help us find a home where we can build a stable life. We really appreciate everything they did for our family and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.
Katie was such a wonderful resource through the selling process. She provided so much guidance on how to prepare the property for selling and was able to take care of tasks that I didn’t have a vendor for. She was very on top of the status of the market and helping to better gauge how the house should be priced as there market shifted. On top of all of that she was incredibly supportive. I would definitely recommend her if you’re selling a property and I’m sure she’d be equally helpful in finding a property.
Kim is an amazing person. She's honest, knowledgable, trustworthy and a passionate advocate for her clients. She's a credit to her trade and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Dennis Perkins is an exceptional real estate agent who provided outstanding service during my home search. Living in New York meant I had very limited time to view properties in Florida. Dennis dedicated a significant amount of time to constructing an efficient schedule, allowing us to explore multiple communities and cities across Sarasota County.He possesses extensive knowledge of the local area and has a wonderful personality that makes working with him a pleasure. Furthermore, Dennis is incredibly diligent; if he was ever unsure about a specific detail, he immediately researched the information and followed up with me. He even managed the entire closing process seamlessly after I returned to New York. I highly recommend Dennis to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and professional real estate partner.
Very happy with Dennis and his knowledge of the surrounding areas. He helped me pick the best house that was right for my needs and requirements. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase!
Fevil is very knowledgeable in this area and knows what to do and when to do. There are very few agents out there who actually knows how to get job done, Fevil is one of them. Very honest and very communicative. Always answers phone and emails. Recommend everyone to use his services. Very very happy
