Joan was fantastic, helped me from before start to finish solving all of my problems along the way. It's more difficult selling stuff when you are 2000 miles away and Joan made it all work very easily for me. Thank you Joan, without your help this would have been a very big mess and would have taken much longer! David

We recently had the privilege of working with Terri as we went through the process of purchasing our new home. She was such a happy professional as she walked us through each and every step of the process. We were working with a VA mortgage and there were times that the process was not the easiest. Terri met every challenge without skipping a beat and made sure that we were on board and understood each step that we were required to take. She stayed in constant communication with our mortgage specialist and always passed that communication on to us. We were never left in the dark due to Terri's professional approach to everything. We thank her immensely for helping us to find and settle into our family home, where we hope to spend many happy years in the future. We would be extremely pleased to refer Terri to anyone we know and would without hesitation recommend her very highly.

REFERENCE I recently had the pleasure of working with Kaitlin Kuhn, a realtor with Michael Saunders and Co, Sarasota FL. Over the course of about four weeks, I went from an initial inquiry to a completed cash purchase of an excellent villa where I am now living very happily with my two cats. I was referred to Kait by Jonathan Abrams, my former next door neighbor and one of Michael Saunders’ top producers. I will focus on just three of the many ways that Kait impressed me. PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE. From our first meeting, Kait showed that she had the ability to establish parameters, set daily goals, and work toward either accomplishing them or changing them as her client’s real needs and preferences emerged. She rapidly concluded, without my telling her, that a property in Sarasota would be more to my liking than one in Venice, and reconfigured our search accordingly. Two or three appointments later, she guided me through a transition in my priorities, based strictly, this time, on the data I had provided her about what I did and didn’t need, AWAY from single-family houses and TOWARD “villas” (a totally new term for me, though I have owned property since my early twenties). Just to reinforce my point , she avoided any vague, subjective approach at this crucial point in our search, and instead stuck to objectively telling me what were my options, especially in regard to investment value. It came as no surprise when I later discovered that Kait had, in her previous career, performed high-level construction negotiations for a leading national corporation. Within hours of my accepting this change of plan, Kait showed me the property where I now live. It was gorgeous. I was sold. COMFORT WITH COMPLEXITY. After the buyer had accepted our offer, the hardest part (for me) began. Michael Saunders has a much more extensive purchase and sale contract than the State of Florida requires, and also there were the usual procedures to be negotiated – inspection, assessment of value, two down payments to secure the deal, etc. Kait, to her credit, negotiated all these hurdles with exceptional charm and grace, plus, of course, the necessary attention to details and terminology. A two-hour information and signing session in a local café (I was right at the beginning of the process of separating from my wife) left me exhausted, but Kait remained poised and professional. This leads me to my final point. PERSONALITY. I will forever sing Kait’s praises for her gracious, mature character and her skill at handling a high pressure, emotionally charged situation, as it pertained to me and my urgent need to find a house. Kait actually had one brief encounter with my wife and emerged from it with warm words for her, expressing the hope that our separation would not happen. Truly an exceptional human being, far beyond the “friendly neighborhood realtor” that she announced herself as when calling. SUMMARY. Kait is a superbly competent realtor, a warm and vivacious person to spend time with, and, a propos, the proud parent of four sons and two contrasting dogs (before Jon referred me to her, Adelle and I had had a brief encounter with her in one of Sarasota’s dog parks). Kait has my highest recommendation for speed, effectiveness and brilliant people skills. Charles Ransom

When we found a Condo on Longboat Key that was listed with Michael Saunders we had the pleasure of working with Jody Shinn. Jody has always impressed us with her drive, business acumen and determination to succeed, but doing so while maintaining high ethical standards and a commitment to doing the right thing. So when we needed a Realtor that represented Michael Saunders, Jody was our easy choice. When we began working with Jody she kept us informed through out the whole process. She was at our beckon call when ever we needed more information. When we wanted to view the property she did so at our convenience. She also provided us alternative viewings so we could make comparisons to help in our decision. Jody has been a family friend for many years. When our Daughter and son-in law needed a Realtor we knew we could trust her with getting them the best information on helping them make a well inform decision in their purchase. It was with great pleasure we were able to refer her to them and know they were in great hands. Other Realtors could learn much from her…… It has been a thrill to see her evolve into one of the top Realtors in Manatee county. If your looking for a Realtor you can trust WE highly recommend Jody Shinn.

Richard did an excellent job helping us find our home and then following up as we navigated through the mortgage process. He is polite, professional and very easy to work with. I would strongly recommend Richard to those who are looking for a qualified person to help them find their next home.

Christina was very professional, knowledgeable about the property, prompt and available for questions. She was honest and provided all the information we needed to make an informed decision. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a property in the Englewood, FL area.
