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.
We wanted to reach out to express our pleasure with working with Nora Johnson, Klaus Lang and Kimberly Dunn for the sale of our unit in The Mark. They were extremely communicative, professional and responsive during the entire process of our listing. We felt that they took every precaution with showings to ensure our unit stayed safe and clean during this pandemic. You always wonder how that will go and we didn’t see any evidence of protocol being broken. We can’t thank them enough for marketing our unit effectively so that we could close in a timely manner and at a price we were happy with. We wouldn’t hesitate to use their services and expertise again!
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.
The service we have had from Michael Saunders & Company has been first class. Although the house took a long time to sell, Nora Johnson and Klaus Lang were always positive. I don’t know how many showings they did as we were in the UK but they were always confident that they would find a buyer. It’s no surprise that they are the top team. I should also mention Janet Carter who has been unfailingly supportive and so responsive.
