BibiAnn helped us buy our Sarasota condominium 12 years ago and, recently, we relied again on BibiAnn to sell our unit. She is a very effective sales agent and a consummate professional - helpful in ways beyond just getting the deal done and just a pleasure to do business with. We would highly recommend her.

It is a pleasure to give Leah Secondo my highest recommendation. I have worked with or observed many real estate agents over the years and find Leah to be the hardest working, most knowledgeable, and most professional of all the agents. It was exceptionally helpful to have an involved agent who was able to make reasonable suggestions for necessary tasks to be done before selling. Leah made a close realistic target date for getting the house on the market and met that target. She saved us many times with professional workers who did a fantastic job on short notice. Adding to the complication was that there were four sellers who were from out of town. But that was not a problem for her. She even used her personal time to fill in for us when we were all out of town. It was very pleasing to be kept informed quickly after every task was completed by text, email, and phone. Leah's knowledge of the area and market was exceptional which helped us get very close to our asking price. And her presentation of the house was very professional and complete from listings to open houses. The photos and online presentation even included drone pictures of the property. As a final note to her professionalism, even after the closing , she has worked with the new owners and us to share information about the house. It has been a pleasure to work with Leah Secondo and I would recommend her to anyone in need of real estate service.

Leah was one of several well-qualified real estate professionals that I personally met with prior to my co-sellers (four of us) and I selecting her as the listing agent. Her extensive experience selling in the Glenn Lakes subdivision was a definite plus. I especially appreciated her "walkabout" of the interior and exterior at our initial meeting, during which she made a detailed list of essential repairs and suggested replacements. Frankly I was surprised that she gave me that list, suggesting I follow it whether she was selected or not. I was initially resistant to a few of her suggestions for what would be an "as is" sale of a 23 year old home in excellent condition, but came to see that her advice was "spot on" every time! When I felt unprepared to arrange for some of the "fixes" suggested, she knew who to call for prompt and competent work and even met me at stores to select a few upgrades. Leah arranged for photos and videos to showcase the home that were outstanding, including aerial ones taken with a drone. We were able to get the home on the market very quickly, with the initial (and accepted) offer made within 24 hours! Leah continued to help during the nearly two months before closing, by frequently checking on the empty home and meeting with service providers when I could not be there (all sellers in this estate situation live in different cities more than 1,000 miles away). Furthermore, there was never a time in which Leah did not promptly respond to every text or email. Leah is truly a hard-working professional who is passionate about what she does!

Jennifer Thompson is a first rate, well informed realtor. She is efficient, prompt and creative. Throughout our dealings I knew I was in good hands. I was impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. I am a recent widow and saw selling my condo as a daunting task. The more we corresponded and talked the more secure I became. Her sensitivity and ability to reach out to me personally was inspiring. She has a keen eye and gives impeccable attention to detail. (Continue) I'm about to move out of state, but will not only take with me the positive memories of this experience, but also a feeling that with a phone call I could speak with Jennifer as her friend. She is proof that altruism is alive and well. Irene Wyner Sarasota, Florida

I recently used Michael Saunders & Company to sell a lot in Punta Gorda, and Genevieve Ramachandran was my real estate agent. This was the second time that I used Genevieve for real estate business because she has always been very professional, kind, prompt, and very devoted to her work. I have enjoyed working with her and will always return when I need any assistance with real estate.

My sales associates Kathy Valente and Gregory Zies truly provided me with the exceptional service Michael Saunders & Company strives to achieve. Kathy was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and was always available whenever I reached out to her. Gregory was wonderful, showing the property on time with each request. On moving day, we had a deadline to meet for the final walkthrough by the new owners at 1pm. I had to leave at 11am for an unexpected doctor's visit, and also had to contend with another two set-backs regarding the cleaning crew and carpet cleaners. In my absence, during this crucial time, Gregory arrived early, went above and beyond, came to the rescue and worked diligently, helping my daughter prepare the condo for the walkthrough. I am extremely happy to report that your team in Bradenton surpassed my expectations of exceptional service.

'I would like to offer a special recognition to Lorraine Neal who was our agent in buying a house in Sarasota. Although there are many real estate agents in our area to choose from, I cannot recommend Lorraine more highly as a truly outstanding realtor and person. In every aspect of our purchase process, she kept things running smoothly not only by using her extensive professional knowledge and experience in the real estate market but also by demonstrating her genuinely sincere and effective manner. Lorraine is truly a fine asset to Michael Saunders & Company as well as a delightful, caring person!'

My husband and I convinced my mother that it was time to sell her condo on LBK and move with us to Maine. As you can imagine, trying to do this from so far away was a daunting task. We were so fortunate to have Maruta list the property for us. Her attention to detail in addition to her kind and loving demeanor made what could have been an extremely stressful situation into a seamless transition for our family. Maruta helped us come up with the listing price which would prevent us from having to haggle back and forth, as well as having to keep the listing on the market for a prolonged period of time. With Maruta’s help and guidance, the condo sold in under 4 months! She handled every detail for us, and I’m so thankful we intrusted her to list the condo for our family.
