Because of his use of vert effective pricing and marketing strategy, as well as his excellent interpersonal skills when working with customers and other agents, we were able to get the full asking price for our unit.

We chose Michael Saunders & Company purely on reputation and reviews. We made contact with Thomas Arthur and he immediately went to work for us after gathering information on the type of property we were interested in purchasing. We ended up changing our criteria several times, however Thomas stuck with us every step of the way. Gran Paradiso was the second property he showed us and we decided quickly on the home we wanted. Thomas recommended we go to lunch and discuss the property. We were looking at the lot where the home would be built. Thomas helped us answer questions on location, features of the home, taxes, HOA, etc. We knew a decision needed to be made quickly as it was the last water view lot available for our size home. We decided to move forward and returned to the Lennar office to discuss price and potential upgrades. Thomas made sure we were getting the best deal possible. We settled on the total purchase price with upgrades and made a deposit. Although the building of our home was delayed a couple of months, we stayed in contact with Thomas for continued updates. Thomas was with us for our walkthrough, post discussion and closing. The rest is history in our new home at Gran Paradiso. We could not be more pleased with having Thomas by our side for this major transaction and relocation to a new state. His experience as a Florida resident himself was invaluable. We gained a realtor and someone we refer to as a friend.
