Alex Stafford, Realtor®

Alex’s manner at first meeting created fertile ground for us to develop a warm working relationship that helped me stay at ease through the entire process. I was greeted with thorough research and market analysis. I received thoughtful guidance with the preliminary set up of the condo for presentation and photo images for the on line listing. I appreciated the intention to seek my input when employing particular design considerations. There was a full schedule of weekly open houses with the addition of private showings that resulted in a sincere amount of exposure and ultimately a bid that went to contract. Alex was extremely accessible throughout with the goal of providing information but also physically assisting me in the logistics of clearing out the residence as we approached the closing date. I had the sense from the start that I was in good hands with someone who brought a certain level of concern and respect for me as person.

I have had the good fortune of knowing Alex Stafford for over 20 years, and have nothing but admiration for his work, his character and his never ending enthusiasm for whatever project he tackles. We started out with a Publisher/Photographer relationship which was tremendous, then we both had children enrolled at the same Montessouri School and it was there I really saw his devotion and steadfast support where it matters most - family. I would venture to say there are very few in Alex's league in the Sarasota area...dedicated, talented, detail-oriented. He's one-of-a-kind and I am proud to offer the highest recommendation I can muster.

Alex is the consummate professional. His work, his standards and ethics are of the highest caliber. He does the job right and without compromise to quality. I trust him implicitly.

I first met Alex shortly after I started my company in 2009. Over the years we've had the opportunity to work together on a variety of projects -- both in business and in support of the community -- and I can tell you he is one of the good ones! Alex is a go-getter who is committed to doing the right thing and seeing it through to the end.

My experiences working with Alex Stafford span a decade, and were always pleasant and successful. As a professional, his commitment to his clients is generous and dependable. In a highly competitive field, he always stands out as a hard-working, dedicated and reliable resource.

For more than a year, Alex searched for homes that met our interests and budget, made appointments and then escorted us to view them. He sent us listings throughout that time. When we had questions about anything, from the elevation to the possibility of building a garage or installing an elevator, he researched and provided the information. He was patient throughout the long search and conducted our contract and closing professionally. Alex is thorough, businesslike and enjoyable to work with.

We were so happy to work with Alex during our search and visit to Sarasota to find our new home. Alex was extremely diligent and professional during the whole process. He responded quickly and effectively to our requests. He had answers to our many questions and went beyond the call of duty to ensure we were completely satisfied. We highly recommend Alex for his professional work and first class friendly service.

Betsy and I could not be more pleased with how professionally and thoughtfully Alex represented Michael Saunders & Company.  We haven’t purchased a house since 1986, and never in Florida, and he was patient in leading us through the process.  He was efficient, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator.  His enthusiasm for Sarasota is infectious and his references, as well as restaurant recommendations, have already proven useful.

Loved working with Alex to find our home in Florida. He has so much knowledge about the Sarasota/Bradenton area. We totally trust his opinions and guidance and are very pleased with our home purchase. Can’t thank him enough!

Alex was extremely diligent, professional and personal in his approach to us who he did not know before we met at an open house. Alex took care of some things that probably we’re not even in his purview-he went above and beyond for us. I would recommend Alex to anyone who appreciates being treated like family. Bob n Merle

Alex Stafford was, from the get-go, very attentive to our desired search for a great home for my husband and me. His fortitude and perception of our wants and needs for 'our home' were sensitive and detailed. If he didn't have an answer to one of the several pertinent and curious questions we had, he certainly researched everything to our satisfaction. We certainly recommend him highly to anyone in search of your next domicile....you will SMILE BROADLY with his direction and helping you to 'close-the-deal!' Thank you ALEX....very VERY MUCH!

I’ve worked with Alex Stafford regularly since 2009 when we shared office space on Sarasota’s Palm Avenue. During that time, he’s consistently exhibited a strong work ethic and insightful professionalism. He exceeds client expectations through prompt service, clear and proactive communication, and brilliant results. I highly recommend Alex.
