Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
In 2012 my husband and I purchased a condo in Beachplace on Longboat key and enjoyed spending part of our winter vacations in this beautiful spot, often with our family or friends. But as our family grew we found we needed more room so we decided to sell the condo and build a larger home on the mainland in Sarasota. Our real estate agent at the time took us to Esplanade By Siesta Key, we fell in love with this community and built our home there. We decided to sell the condo but two different agents were unsuccessful in finding a buyer for us.One of the first people we had met in Esplanade was Debra Pitell-Hauge and while talking to her discovered that she was very successful at selling condos at Beachplace. We filed that information as we had decided by this point that we would rent the unit while we got ourselves situated in our new home. Debra continued to keep us apprised of the real estate news at Beachplace and sent us listings that she felt were comparable to our unit in the hopes of enticing us to sell. We were having no trouble renting the unit so for the time being left the idea of selling alone. But Debra was persistent and eventually brought us an idea of an offer that we just had to consider. She knew that it was a seller’s market and suggested a price that we could probably get for our unit. My husband and I both thought it was way overpriced but we also felt that Debra knew her stuff and so we agreed to list for 90 days to see what would happen. After only hours of being listed we couldn’t believe it when Debra brought us a full price cash offer with no conditions! We were “gobsmacked” to say the least that Debra had delivered exactly what she had promised and were sorry that we had ever doubted her ability to read the market and find the perfect buyer for our property.Debra was scheduled to go out of town shortly after we signed the agreement but was still able to find agents to check the A/C, locate extra keys for the buyer and coordinate a myriad of other closing details from afar. We couldn’t have asked for a more thorough, detail oriented agent to initiate, proceed through the details and conclude this sale than Debra. She succeeded where others had failed to sell our property and we only wish we had met her sooner! When others ask us to recommend an agent to buy or sell their property, Debra is the person we will suggest.Two very happy sellers,Carol and Gino Lombardi

Anita is a very professional in many aspects within the entire real-estate business. She has a vast knowledge in all angles, don’t hesitate or bother for answering any question, going anywhere, respond to text messages or phone calls day or nighttime, has answer to almost everything, provide best advises, and many more things. She always looks nice, arrives before the client, and provides key points, gives the client enough time on site, never rush, and I can say she is a multi-task agent.

Robin is exceptional in every way. Her professionalism is beyond any I've experienced. Her personal concern and attention to details, seeming to know what we want better than we do, has given us a great experience so far. Her patience with our slow and delayed action keeps us calm and ready to continue on until we find ourselves living in Venice!

My husband and I were very fortunate to have Janet Oberholtzer as our real estate agent. We wanted to find a home in the Venice area that we love so much. And we found the perfect home with her help. She is very knowledgeable, dependable and patient (as we had many questions). She guided us through our closing with no problem. Her areas of expertise in the housing market is vast; she has done her "homework" so to speak. And most important, to us, is her personality which is warm and friendly; always smiling. We highly recommend Janet; you will not be disappointed.

I am pleased to share my experiences about my recent house sale. When looking for a realtor, I immediately called Leah who lived in the neighborhood and had answered questions I had had in the past. Leah knew Glenn Lakes and was on top of the rapidly changing market. She listed and got my asking price within a few days. Prior to the sale, she made excellent suggestions of improvements I should make to the outside of the property. She also put me in touch with local trades people who could complete the work. She answered all my questions, kept me informed through the whole process, and was very easy to work with. This was all accomplished without me leaving Connecticut.This was my seventh sale of property, and it was by far the easiest. Leah was great to work with!Sincerely,Jane Barrera

Elisa was great to work with during the sale of my home. She was attentive, thorough, extremely engaged, and a great sounding board. There was nothing I needed which she did not provide. From coordinating showings at the beginning to working with the Closing Agent at the end, she was also very present. I would not hesitate to use her again.

My wife and I would like to express our gratitude to Larry Cushing, our real estate agent for helping us find a home in Sarasota, Florida. His timely and so often help in issues like inspection, insurance and loan are some of the areas that things could not have moved smoothly without his timely intervention. We would also like to thank him for introducing us to a wonderful team including Cathy, Gris, Erin and Salena who through their hard work made this homebuying memorable. Larry is an excellent real estate agent and more than that he is an excellent human being.
