Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
We had the distinct pleasure of working with Joanna Benante for both the sale of our family home and the purchase of our new property. During the sale of our house, Joanna continuously exhibited a clear ‘can do’ attitude. She did such an outstanding marketing job on our property, that we had a record amount of showings. Joanna also navigated a difficult buyer with finesse and strength. We ended up packing our home of 18 years over a quick window of time. We were feverishly working to complete the inspection items and simultaneously packing with a child sick with the flu. The movers accidentally removed a Murphy bed in such a way that a wall was left exposed with old paint lines. Joanna immediately jumped in, picked up the paint for the room from the store and painted the wall herself for us. It’s this kind of dedication and support that sets an exceptional real estate agent, like Joanna Benante, apart from all the rest! Our buying transaction was unique in two ways. Firstly, the buyers included four people: my parents, my husband and myself. Because my parents are declining in health, we wanted to live on the same property together to be able to assist them. Thus, we were looking for a multi-generational property that had a main home for our family of six, and a separate home for my parents. We originally assumed that Sarasota, with its large retirement & senior population, would be replete with multi-generational options. We were surprised to learn just how difficult it was to find such a rare property. From the beginning, Joanna worked diligently scouring the area for possible solutions. I can assure you that dealing concurrently with 4 buyers with varying desires & living requirements was not easy. Yet Joanna took it all in stride and repeatedly came up with interesting property choices. Joanna worked tirelessly & showed us countless properties. It was tough to satisfy all four buyers’ wish lists. We were ready to conclude that the timing simply wasn’t right; a multi-generational property like we envisioned just wasn’t available on the market at that time. Joanna, however, was undaunted. Joanna knew about a property that would be perfect for our unique situation. The only problem was that it was not on the market at that time. No bother, Joanna reached out and convinced the owners and their agent, who had taken the property off the market months prior, to let us see it. Thanks to Joanna’s unwavering resolve & determination, we were able to purchase the property that suited our special needs! We were impressed with Joanna’s ceaseless drive and commitment to find her clients’ ‘dream property’ no matter the challenges. Joanna’s work ethic, professional and firm demeanor make her a true force to reckon with. After completing two back to back real estate transactions with Joanna, we can confidently state that she represented our interests with outstanding service and expertise. We highly recommend Joanna to anyone that is serious about successfully buying and/or selling their home in a competitive market.

Stacy is great! She went above and beyond helping us with a new construction purchase. From contract negotiations to interior design to final walk-thru, she was thorough and at our side.

Stacy backed by her team did a great job selling our home. She did a great job marketing our place across all available platforms. We had a ton of showings which led to our selling the place within 60 days. Could not have been happier.

I closed recently on my new house in Sarasota. BUT it is only because I was fortunate enough to have worked with Suki. She was professional, kind, patient, knowledgeable and helped me at every step of the process. I'm so grateful to her and I absolutely recommend her to all looking to purchase a home. Thank you again Suki. Cathy Carcaterra

How do I begin to describe our relationship with Tina? Let us begin with 5 stars...... We met Tina when we asked her to visit our home in December. We wanted to ask her opinion about our home prior to looking at another home that had peaked our interest. What a breath of fresh air she was, from the moment we met her. Within a week we had visited the house of interest and made an offer. Tina helped us every step of the way, and we closed on the house within 6 weeks. We moved into our lovely home in Teal Creek Glen, and then we began preparing our home in Blythefield Terrace. Tina made constructive suggestions and we followed them. At her suggestion and her assistance we brought in stagers who made our home look wonderful. It looked so nice that we made a joke that we would like to move back in. Through every step of the way Tina was a consumate professional, but better than this I truly would always look forward to seeing her. She is so full of energy, and so knowledgeable about her business. Always looking beautiful, like a runway model, whenever she showed our home or held an open house, and she is great company. Tina is one of the hardest working young women that I have ever met. I have no idea how she balances such a demanding career, and yet has the time to do everything else, including raising her beautiful family. On July 2nd we closed the sale on our Blythefield home. Tina was behind us, all of the way and through every step, representing our best interests as buyers and sellers of these two homes. We couldn’t have asked for a better experienced, and true professional who works extremely hard for her clients. Tina truly deserves the very high rank that she has achieved, as a luxury home realtor. We love you Tina. ‘Onward and upward!!’

Stacy has a great understanding of the market. She placed the proper value on our property allowing it to sell in less than 30 days. She then found the exact property we were looking for--location, price and style. Kudos to Stacy.

We cannot find the right words to thank Stacy for all she did on our behalf during the process of buying our new home. Her service to us was beyond what is considered "world-class". Always available with quick answers, much needed good advice, and suggestions. Her professionalism, negotiating skills, and dedication allowed us to find just the right house for our needs. Would give 10-STARS if possible.

Stacy represented my husband and me in our first home here in Florida. Very knowledgeable, attentive and forthcoming with information. I would recommend Stacy to a friend.
