The sale or purchase of a home represents a new chapter in someone’s life. With my extensive knowledge of this fast-growing area and my experience helping people find the right home or sell their home, it is my goal to make that next chapter happy and successful.Originally from Westchester County, NY, I attended Stony Brook University on Long Island where I completed my bachelor’s degree in Economics ... more.with a minor in Business.I actually started in the real estate field quite by accident. I started working for a high-end developer on Long Island in 1988, showing the newly created summer vacation co-ops in Westhampton Beach, NY. I knew right away that the real estate field was a perfect fit for me. I quickly got my real estate license and worked for the next two years on that project until it was sold out. I transitioned to Manhattan where I specialized in the high-end rental market of the Upper West Side.Several years later, in 2002, my family was relocated to Lakewood Ranch. My children were small, and I chose to work part time in both the insurance and financial fields. Returning to work full time in 2015 and to the real estate field that I love, I became a Realtor® and joined the leading brokerage on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Michael Saunders & Company. Owning homes in both Lakewood Ranch and the West of Trail neighborhood of Sarasota, it has been such an unexpected gift to watch these communities grow and develop into the multi-dimensional neighborhoods they are today. They are a destination for so many families looking for that special new place to call home. Dedicated to giving back to the community, I actively support Sarasota’s Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s and Michael Saunders & Company's MSC Foundation. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and planning "staycations" several times a year, one of the many perks of living in this fabulous area! ...less.
Dan and I want to express our sincere thanks to JJ in the recent closing on our second home in Florida. She went above and beyond and was so responsive to all of us – dealing with four individuals/2 couples on our purchase could not have been easy and created more work for her. We are so thankful our lives crossed with JJ and we would highly recommend her.
Absolutely a marvelous job! Facing certain difficult tasks, JJ managed to make our experience very pleasurable. A true winner!
My wife and I recently purchased a home in the Arbor Grande community with the assistance of your sales associate J.J. Williams. I am writing to express our appreciation for her knowledge, professionalism, and personality. Ms. Williams helped us understand the unique qualities of the many different villages in Lakewood Ranch. She listened to our needs and preferences and helped us find the perfect match. We love our new home and community because of JJ’s ability to connect with us. She made us feel valued and special. We purchased a newly constructed home and JJ maintained her connection to us throughout a process made more difficult due to COVID-19. She consistently checked in with us and helped us deal with every issue. Of course, one would expect this of any professional realtor, but JJ Williams went above and beyond our expectations because of her genuine concern and gracious personality. We knew she was our advocate and that we could rely on her when challenges occurred. By the end of our process, we truly felt like JJ was a trusted friend we could call on for anything we needed. We will recommend JJ Williams to all our friends and family. She is a talented and special person. Thank you for the opportunity to sing her praises.
