Through his earlier career as an international corporate executive, residing in Canada, Europe, Africa and Asia, Klaus has a global perspective of the best places one could choose to live. After experiencing cultures far and wide, he chose to call Sarasota his home. Our Gulf Coast city offers everything one can dream of - not only the weather and the beaches, but also the culture, the infrastructure and the c... more.hance to interact with interesting people - both with a domestic as well as international background. Klaus recognizes that the lifestyle is second-to-none and that it’s the main reason people move here.With this enthusiasm for the area, he started his career in real estate. His passion was evident in everything he did. Sometimes buyers would ask him why he wouldn’t buy the properties he marketed himself (as he seemed to love them so much!). It was not surprising then, that his skills were noted after a short period of time. As a result, he has been involved in the sale of some of the most exclusive homes in the Sarasota/Manatee region. He represented the buyers in the largest real estate transaction in Sarasota, the purchase of a Lido Key home and adjacent vacant property for a combined price of $16.5 million. In 2015, Klaus sold the highest priced property Michael Saunders & Company has ever represented, Little Bokeelia Island, offered at $29.5 million. While real estate is his passion, he takes advantage of the opportunities he came here for - and he still loves to travel globally. As a longtime member of Rotary International, Klaus served this global charity organization with hands-on experience in all the countries he’s lived in. He still attends Rotary meetings wherever he travels, maintaining his international connections. ...less.
I wanted to tell you that in all our real estate experiences, working with you was the best. You are extremely efficient, return calls immediately, amongst so many other strengths.
We worked with Nora Johnson, Janet Carter, and Klaus Lang. They showed tremendous professionalism and kindness to us during the many real estate transactions that we have conducted in the last year. Special thanks go to Nora, who provided guidance and advice in a calm and reassuring manner, always balancing the need to have qualified buyers view the properties and yet have the properties well publicized. Nora was instrumental in getting us in to view the Coquille Street property at very short notice and early in the day. Her rapid response to us meant that we were able to get an offer accepted on the spot, pre-empting another buyer. We have complete confidence in your company and staff and would definitely come back to you for any future property transactions in Sarasota.
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed working with Klaus and Nora. We feel they gave us good advice on pricing and during the negotiations. They were receptive to our ideas about photos and wording of the narrative, and one of them personally conducted each showing. Customer feedback we got was that their patient face time helped make the sale. The ultimate sale was to an internet buyer from out of State and the lead came through the Michael Saunders network.
