Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
I greatly appreciate having had your superb team of Ethyl & Harry Lovelace and Mina Johnson working to sell my condominium. And work they did! The apartment was lovely but did not show well. They furnished it in a simple, yet elegant manner and spent hours correcting small flaws. Their attention to detail also conveyed their marketing strategies and negotiation skills. They are consummate professionals and such pleasant people to work with. “We start with listing” is not simply their motto, but their way of bringing trust and confidence to whomever they represent. They are a true dream team, and I shall recommend them to all I know who are thinking of selling or buying in Sarasota.

This is the second time I have used Susan Smith and Cathy Meldahl to purchase a new residence and the first time to sell one. Both Susan and Cathy made the entire process as seamless as possible, handled each roadblock with integrity, and kept me in the loop at all times. I knowthey worked tirelessly and maintained a high level of service even though this difficult COVID year with its own set of concerns. I hope you know what “gems" you have out here on Longboat Key with Susan and Cathy. I always felt like I was their only client knowing how busy they were with this exploding market. I am completely delighted with my experience and truly enjoying my new home.

I can't say enough respectable things about how our last listing was handled by Linda Carlstrum. Even though this was a relatively small listing she treated it like it was worth a hundred times more. Efficient and interested in what we were doing. If in the future were we ever in need of real estate services your office is definitely the first one we would call on.

When we decided to list our home this Spring, we immediately turned to Sandi Dietrich who has an extensive history of successful sales in our neighborhood. We knew this property could be a bit of a challenge to price and market because no direct open water resale had occurred in The Reserve at the Inlets and comps were limited to builder lots and newer construction. We aggressively pushed to list due to the market frenzy and she presented us with 3 cash offers within 5 days of list. She continued to support our efforts to meet the buyer’s goal of a relatively rapid close by helping us find qualified professionals to complete inspection list requests, get us moved, and oversee the closing. When all was completed, we felt that this sale and move was as uncomplicated as any we have experienced (these transitions always take an emotional and physical toll on us). And, for the first time in 40 years, due to Sandi’s experience and intuition that the asking price was one the market would bear, my husband can say that I actually made money off of a real estate transaction.

My wife Kris and I worked with Tammy on our recent purchase of a home in Venice. We could not be happier with the results. We were referred to her by the relatives of a friend. My first phone conversation with her gave me all the confidence in the world that we had found the right person to help us to buy a home, sight unseen. She listened to me and responded after I told her what was important to us. She never interrupted or assumed she knew what we wanted. As the process continued, she went out of her way to provide us multiple videos. A couple of times when things went a little sideways with both the seller and the title company. She jumped in immediately to put things back on track

We recently had another real estate transaction with Bernadette Caswell. We are so impressed with her that we will only use her expertise when buying or selling in the Sarasota/Venice area. She is knowledgeable, professional, and detail-oriented. At the same time, she is friendly and makes the transaction proceed in a relaxed, timely manner. We feel that you are very fortunate to have someone like Bernadette who certainly excels in her field.

We wanted to express our pleasure in working with Nora Johnson and Klaus Lang for the sale of our unit in The Mark. They were extremely communicative, professional, and responsive during the entire process of our listing. We felt that they took every precaution with showings to ensure our unit stayed safe and clean during this pandemic. You always wonder how that will go and we didn’t see any evidence of protocol being broken. We can’t thank them enough for marketing our unit effectively so that we could close in a timely manner and at a price we were happy with. We wouldn’t hesitate to use their services and expertise again!

An absolute pleasure working with Amy. I was referred to her by a dear friend who knew our personalities would mesh well. If you need someone who does their job with greatness and personality this is who you choose to represent you.

Madeline was INCREDIBLE!! She walked us through the whole process before we started looking for homes, she was always available when we needed her and gave us amazing advice and insight about the whole home buying process. We will work with her if we ever choose to sell our house or on any real estate ventures we may have in the future. She is amazing!!!
