We were referred to Alison from one of our neighbors and our experience selling our house could not have been any better. Alison is super responsive, very knowledgeable and provided excellent advice throughout the process. We had moved out of the state and were able to do everything seamlessly. Alison took care of any on-site needs and helped us establish a sales price that ended up being exactly where it needed to be. The photography and marketing piece that she put together showcased all of the best qualities of the property and definitely helped increase its value. Alison was always available by cell phone and even accessible when she had an overseas trip scheduled. She had a colleague available to assist, but amazingly we heard directly from her despite timezone differences. We can’t say enough good things and would use her again in a heartbeat. If you need a great real estate agent, we highly recommend Alison - you won’t be disappointed.
Alison was professional, warm, and extremely thorough in helping us find our new home in Sarasota. In reviewing neighborhoods and “sample” houses, she quickly and accurately determined our tastes. When we were able to see houses in person, her comments and evaluations were extremely helpful. When it came time to make an offer and complete the transaction, we are convinced that it was Alison’s negotiating skills and her overall respectful, professional, and kind manner that ultimately made the transaction a success. Her follow-through continued even after the close. We feel that Alison truly had our best interests at heart and did not waver in representing us! We love our new home and our welcome to Sarasota could not have been more positive thanks to Alison.
Alison went above and beyond to make our home-buying experience as seamless as possible. Because we were out-of-state home buyers, she provided much-needed long-distance support. We can’t say enough good things about Alison — she has been so flexible, thoughtful and caring. We feel lucky to have made a new friend in Sarasota. Barb & James
