Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
We met Helene Johnston last year, when we were visiting friends in Venice and she sold a home to our friend's sister. We were so impressed with her knowledge and professionalism after speaking to her at that initial meeting, that shortly afterward we started working with her to find our new home in Florida. She patiently worked with us for about a year, while we were trying to sell our home in New Jersey. We were unfamiliar with Florida real estate and relied on her guidance in helping us choose the right community for our new home. She is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of real estate transactions and of the various communities in the Venice, FL area. Working with Helene greatly reduced the stress of buying a new home. We will definitely recommend her to family and friends who are looking to relocate to the Sarasota County area.

I’ve been fortunate to call Krista Potthast Haynes a friend for many years. She’s the most enthusiastic person I know and it is a pleasure to be in her company. I would say her success is due to her never ending desire to learn, hard work, and integrity. Krista loves all things Florida, and in particular, the special place that is the southwest coast of Florida.

We have been working with Shawna for a while now and she has made us feel like a family member by her attentiveness to every request we make. Once we finalize our home sale in SC she will be the one to sell us our new home in Florida. Shawna has proven herself to be a great sales representative and she exemplifies all that her company demands in their sales staff.

My wife and I are planning for our retirement which included plans to relocate. We met with Krista who is the most honest and caring real estate professional we have ever met. She is very knowledgeable in her field and was extremely patient with us. Krista discussed a term that was new to us called “Visitability” which basically meant looking at a home that would meet our needs not only today but in the years to follow as we grow older. We’re looking forward to working with Krista in the future.

Krista is a true real estate professional! From the moment my husband and I met her, Krista always had a smile on her face. We had several properties we wanted to see and she was as excited to go see the properties as we were! Krista isn't pushy. She gives you room to roam, to talk, to look in silence. If we had questions, Krista would makes notes, answer what she could but if she didn't have an answer for you, she would get back to you with one within 24 hours. Krista made us feel comfortable through the entire transaction. We knew we were in good hands with Krista at the helm! I'm a real estate broker in Vermont and I'd be glad to have Krista on our team!

My wife and I, as well as other members of our family, have had the opportunity to work with Gladys on several property transactions. Gladys continues to prove herself to be a dedicated professional with an exceptional work ethic, and our confidence and respect for her continue to grow. Her professionalism and personal dignity reflect very highly on the reputation of Michael Saunders & Company. We will continue to work with Gladys and look forward to a long and rewarding business relationship.

Within a 2 month period, Christine masterfully helped us prepare and sell our condominium - and then secure the purchase of a single family residence. She is a professional's professional. She was stunningly responsive and thorough in answering our inquiries, preparing documents, and transmitting information to the potential buyer. She guided us in establishing a fair asking price - and the result was that we had several offers and a sale within two days. In helping us search for a new residence, she was systematically resourceful in identifying options for us that were on the market. She displayed a masterful sense of what the market should and would accept. She was supportive of the negotiating approach we wanted to embrace - and guided us in the final negotiation to secure a favorable outcome for all. In addition to being professionally effective in every way, Christine is gracious, polite, and kind. She made each experience positive and rewarding. I strongly recommend her services. Were I to sell or purchase any property in Sarasota, she would be the first person I would contact to assist me.

When I think of the purchase of our home with Marcia, there is one word that stands out to me, and that is trust. Her enthusiasm and attention to even the smallest detail were also things that we very much respect about her. We didn't just find a Realtor, we found a friend.
