My wife and I made a decision to sell our home in RiverStrand back in March of this year, and after doing some research on NextDoor we quickly realized Michael Saunders & Company in Lakewood Ranch was the best option. I called the LWR office and Ray Rausa answered my call. He was very positive and confident during our brief conversation; which led me to setup a meeting ASAP with him to come to our home and discuss our options for selling. Ray arrived on-time and was professionally dressed and provided us with lots of information regarding recent sales in our area; which allowed us to confidently arrive at a fair listing price. We knew then we had chosen the right company and person for the task of helping us sell our home. A few open houses and a couple dozen showings later we received an agreeable offer to sell our home. We were very pleased with how smoothly the process went and without surprise Ray kept us informed the entire time either by a phone call or text message. Also, whenever we had questions Ray was very easy to reach and he was able to provide us with the appropriate answers. Overall we want you to know what a great asset Ray Rausa is to your team of realtors and we would highly recommend him to friends and family looking to sell their home.

We sold our FL home this spring with Karen Brown as our realtor. The sale went pretty nearly as Karen had predicted. We had an offer within five days, followed by speedy sale. We were satisfied with the sale price, which was near the asking price. We had an effective working relationship with Karen. She explained the extra efforts she would put forth to try to sell our home, including her use of a professional photographer. We relied on her for advice on preparing our home for showing and sale, and got from Karen recommendations for several contractors for repairs/improvements needed to make our home as appealing as possible. We feel that our excellent working relationship with Karen paid off nicely in terms of being able to conclude the sale expeditiously and for a satisfactory price. Karen Brown was also our realtor five years previously when we purchased the house we recently sold. She gave us good counsel at that point as well in matters of negotiating with the Seller, as we were new to the local real estate marketplace. During the time we lived in our Florida home we spent money on its maintenance and improvement, as one must. Nevertheless, the gross sales price was nicely more than we paid for the house when we purchased it. All-in-all, we have had an excellent experience in our professional real estate dealings with Karen Brown, and we gained a friend.

After a positive experience working with Ray Rausa to sell our home in RiverStrand, we decided he was the right person to help us find the perfect condo/townhome for our needs. Once we provided Ray with some of our needs and wants for our next home, he quickly worked on finding us homes within our budget and location and setup showings that met our timeframe. We looked at several different neighborhoods during our search, and Ray provided lots of guidance and expertise along the way without hesitation. We ultimately decided to stay in the RiverStrand community and purchase a 4th floor condo with amazing views of the golf course and Manatee River! Ray was very helpful during the negotiation process; which helped get us an amazing deal on what could very easily be our forever home. Both my wife and I are so happy to have met Ray and feel very pleased with the outcomes from using him to help sell our prior home and purchase our current home. Ray truly is a great realtor and we wish him continued success at Michael Saunders & Company.

Magda was excellent to work with. We had our house listed twice before for a total of 10 months on the market, with no results. Magda sold our house in 24 days! She is communicative, knowledgeable, and a consummate professional. I highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her again.

Autumn is a powerhouse of an agent. She is spot on and thorough. We had the pleasure of working with her as a sellers agent and can’t wait to work with her again as a buyers agent. Whenever a question or concern arises, she was right there to handle it. Look no more, she is five star qualified!
