Judy Nimz, Realtor®

Judy Nimz is a gem!  She found us our home, my Mother-in-Law's home, and a vacation rental all in the past year.  She is very professional and knowledgeable. Judy is our Google!  We trust her opinion so much, that we turn to her for advice more often that we should. When Judy is booked, Bill has jumped in to help by showing us properties as well. He is every bit as helpful and professional. We truly enjoy working with them both. 

Judy Nimz went far and beyond her duty. She did an excellent job. We were happy to have her with our purchase.

We've moved a lot and have never ever had a realtor as nice and helpful as Judy. This was a long distance move during COVID, and she went above and beyond to make it easy for us. She sold our condo in 3 days and then made the rest of the process flow smoothly. And did I mention nice?

I want to give a shout-out to Judy Nimz. My wife Sara and I own a beach house on Casey Key but decided we wanted more access to Sarasota itself.  On the recommendation of a friend from Minnesota who had worked with Judy, we contacted her back in November. At the outset, our search for a condo was not well focused, in terms of what we were looking for, whether we would sell or retain the Casey Key house, and many other questions.  In those early months, there were few interesting properties available, and we found it difficult to narrow the search.  The only viable option was the Epoch building on Palm Avenue, which didn’t even have the permits to begin construction; we nonetheless put down a deposit to reserve a unit there. But we didn’t like the idea of waiting 2 years for completion. Judy was infinitely patient, continued to show us condos that were listed, and worked her contacts to identify a number of condo properties not on the market, but potentially available. Seeing more properties helped us firm up our decision criteria (space, location, view, etc), and led us to cancel the Epoch reservation. Ultimately, we purchased an 18th-floor unit at the VUE and decided to keep the Casey Key place.Throughout the process, Judy was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and responsive.  She helped us locate a lawyer with condo expertise, and oversaw many details (condo inspection, repairs needed, etc.) prior to close. All in all, she was a joy to work with and a great asset for Michael Saunders & Company.

We met Judy Nimz last year when we wandered into her open house at a condo on Lido, after which she showed us several properties. We left Sarasota early because of Covid and contacted her this year when we returned. She had great places to show us, in diverse locations, and she was quite accepting of the fact that we couldn't agree about anything until we saw the condo we are in. The move, which happened very quickly because our home in West Virginia sold immediately, has been somewhat traumatic, and Judy has guided us through it all. Indeed, she still is! I expect we will stay in touch, and I would highly recommend Judy should the opportunity arise.  

What can we say about Queen Judy...  In the past, we have praised her professionalism, her knowledge, and her ability to listen and find the perfect property for us, my mother-in-law, and our daughter. This is the first time we have utilized Judy’s expertise to help us sell a property. Surprise! She didn’t disappoint! When we decided to list our rental properties, she met us at each villa, walked through, and gave suggestions of small changes. We took her advice, made minor improvements, and she got both listings sold within a week!  Full asking price!!  She is amazing, awesome, and always has our best interest at heart. We recommend her any chance we get. 

Judy Nimz was absolutely marvelous, totally committed to helping us find the right place, business like, wonderfully prepared and helpful in every way. You are lucky to have such a wonderful Realtor associated with your firm. She is a gem, an absolute gem!

It is no exaggeration that selling a home is a stressful undertaking, both emotionally and financially. Judy provided exceptional knowledge of the local real estate market along with specific information on what buyers are looking for. These details helped me prepare and stage the house for sale. Her professionalism and dependability, frequent communications and updates made the sale process so much easier. My house sold in 2 months and at a record price for the neighborhood. Thank you Judy for a job well done!

I knew Judy from the sale of another home I owned, and was delighted to see she was the listing agent on the home I was interested in.  She responded immediately, arranged for a viewing the same day I called, and handled all the details of the sale with the exemplary professionalism I have come to rely on from her.  All this made somewhat complicated by the fact that I was buying the home for my out-of-state brother!  Judy took it in stride, and everything went off without a hitch.  Every little complication was handled and solved before it ever even became a problem.  Judy has my enthusiastic recommendation for anyone's home buying or selling needs. She's the one you want to call! 

Judy helped me and my brother sell the house we grew up in on Siesta Key. This was not an easy sale -- the house had plenty of maintenance 'issues'. Judy acted professionally at all times, gave us good advice and was a calming influence during the ups and downs of the selling process. I would happily recommend her to anyone selling their home.

My husband and I recently sold our condominium in Sarasota with the help of Judy Nimz. The first time Judy saw our unit, she found problems that we were able to fix prior to selling. Her attention to detail allowed us to remediate a larger mold issue that we were not aware of and that would have been a much bigger problem for a potential buyer. Once we had an offer, Judy was extremely helpful in getting us to closing on time. We greatly appreciate her expertise in getting our unit sold!

Judy does an excellent job. We bought a home through her in 2009 and she made everything so easy. We have decided to return to Sarasota and she was the first person we called to find us another home and we know she will. Just a delight to work with.

My husband and I want to thank Michael Saunders & Company, and specifically, Judy Nimz, who was involved in the sale of our property. Judy had great communication and organizational skills. She represents the best of the exceptional service and reputation Michael Saunders & Company is noted for.

When we first purchased in Sarasota back 15 years ago Judy Nimz was our agent. She was wonderful then and she was just as wonderful in 2019. We have remained friends all these years. A great experience.

I cannot say enough about the high quality of your company’s services and the high caliber of excellence in your associates, especially Judy Nimz. From the beginning when all information had to be relayed via email, Judy got to know us, not just what home we were looking for. Together we found the perfect home. Many thanks to Judy and all of the Michael Saunders & Company staff for their kindness and professionalism.

Thank you again, Judy! The villa you found for our daughter is perfect, and we are beyond excited for her move to Sarasota. If you hadn't sent us the listing and scheduled a showing the moment it went on the market, we would have totally missed out on this one. She is so thrilled with the pictures; we can't wait for her to see it in person. You are a rock star! 

I want to commend my agent, Judy Nimz, on the quick and efficient sale of my deceased father's condo. I felt I could trust Judy as a professional who could get it done. Judy was great throughout the process, offering sound guidance, and providing the right resources.

Judy took us on—a couple from Boston—without ever having met us. Yet through her diligence and ability to listen to our wants and needs, she was able to focus in on exactly the type of property we sought. Judy is top-notch. She is one of the most professional brokers I’ve ever worked with. She knows the Sarasota area, she knows the market, and she knows people.

We hit the jackpot when working with Judy Nimz! She immediately sent us villa info she thought we might like. Spent a few days with her and found our new home the second day. She took care of all our questions, or if she didn't know, got back to us as soon as she found out. She knew we had some concerns and even stayed with us during the home inspection. Recommended a great moving company. Very nice lady to work with and will always recommend her!

We bought our house in 2005 with Judy's help. We sold our house in April, 2023 with Judy's help. We would not consider anyone else as our Real Estate agent. Judy is very caring, thorough, and covers all the bases. Not only is she successful-  she is also a wonderful person.

We chose Michael Saunders & Company because of the firm's strong reputation. We chose Judy because she came prepared to our first interview meeting and responded quickly thereafter with a comprehensive plan for preparing and selling our home. We found Judy to be an exceptional real estate agent. Not only did she provide guidance throughout the process of preparing our home for sale, she also referred us to multiple service people and a painting contractor who brought the house up to selling standards efficiently and at very reasonable prices. Bottom line, Judy found us multiple offers with great terms. We couldn't be more pleased with Judy’s work ethic and her nice personality.

As out-of-town buyers, we were anxious to say the least, but Judy did an exceptional job every step of the way. Beginning with the FaceTime tour, Judy was careful not to “oversell,” which we especially appreciated as we were not represented by our own agent.  Judy wanted to be sure we knew about the condition of the home and she took care to point out everything that might require repair.  We met Judy at closing and we were very impressed with her thoughtful customer service, like making sure we had a list of the prior owner’s service providers.  She even checked back with us after we moved in to see if we needed anything.  Summing up, Judy stands out compared for being highly professional, ethical, conscientious and easy to work with.

This is the second time we have worked with Judy Nimz and once again, she has been excellent in all respects. We have total confidence in her professionalism. No aspect of the sale is too big, or indeed too small for Judy to focus on and solve. She sees the whole picture as well as the details, creating a relationship based on competence, and trust. Judy is also very personable and client centered. 

Judy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a true professional and has a wealth of knowledge in real estate market. The whole process of selling our home was flawless and Judy was there every step of the way. She was always available for us through the selling process and even beyond. I highly recommend her! 

Judy has helped us both buy and sell properties and she excels in both areas.  She has excellent communication skills and this combined with her knowledge of the real estate market makes her the best at what she does.  In addition to these skills, she has a wonderful personality and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Her ability to remain calm, patient and professional is one reason she is so effective at her job. She is a great listener and get the job done attitude……simply the best!”

After looking at Micheal Saunders website in the Sarasota area, I chose Judy Nimz to assist us. We are so fortunate to have found her! She possess all the qualities of a great realtor and a wonderful personality as well. Super responsive and never left questions unanswered. I would definitely recommend Judy and her company.

We first met Judy Nimz a number of years ago when we visited Sarasota with friends and were doing some preliminary plans for our then future retirement in Florida. Over the next few years, on subsequent visits we would call Judy and ask if she would help us look for a home. We were upfront with her, shared that we didn't know exactly when we would or could make the move from Ohio to Florida - we just knew that we would...someday. As we searched for just the right location and home Judy provided first rate service. We never felt pressured to move more quickly. She is extremely knowledgeable and organized, and always returns phones calls or text messages promptly. When we visited this past spring, just before the Corona virus outbreak, we found the perfect home for us. In fact, we nailed it. Any move is a daunting task, but can you imagine one during a pandemic? With Judy's assistance it went so smoothly! We are now enjoying settling in to our home, its lanai, and the beautiful palm and fruit trees in our yard. Michael Saunders & Company is blessed to have Judy Nimz as an associate, and we have been blessed to come to know Judy as a friend. Cheers! 

I met Judy Nimz in 2012 when I first moved to Sarasota.  She was so helpful to me as a newcomer to this beautiful city. Since then Judy has assisted me in purchasing two homes and selling two homes.  I cannot say enough about her expertise, professionalism and good humor.  She is wonderful!

I would like to compliment Judy Nimz who was our agent who recently sold our home at Deer Creek. Judy did a remarkable job as she always does. She represented us in several previous transactions, both in buying and selling homes. I highly recommend Judy to anyone who is looking for a really good professional agent and Michael Saunders as well.  

In 1996, we were fortunate to be assigned Judy Nimz as our buying agent during our relocation from Manhattan to Sarasota. Twenty-one years later, we were again pleased with the accomplishments of Judy acting as our selling and buying agent as we downsized and relocated. Through her tireless efforts, we successfully sold our Sarasota home and acquired a perfect smaller residence in Bradenton. There were many hiccups and difficulties along the way, but Judy’s perseverance and depth of knowledge in the real estate market, together with the efforts of Bill Nimz, her partner, brought us to a very successful conclusion. Never did we feel our smallest requests were a problem for her or any question too far-out-in-left-field to deserve her scrutiny and close attention.

Judy Nimz is the best agent I have ever worked with! 

I have too many good things to say about Judy Nimz. Judy has helped us both as buyers and as sellers. Most recently, she helped us sell a condo in The Meadows. Judy has the ability to walk through with fresh eyes and quickly recommend small improvements prior to listing. Her ability to see what we can’t has made all the difference when preparing a property for sale. Judy gets it done. She is a rock star.  She loves what she does and it shows! Thank you so much!

I've had many experiences with Judy, both as a seller and a buyer. She is extremely helpful and is very knowledgeable and honest. I recommend her highly. Thanks for all of your help, Judy! 

In the last 6 years we have bought or sold 5 properties with 6 Realtors. The most recent transactions were handled by Judy Nimz. She was by far the best Realtor with whom we have worked with. It has been a pleasure to work with Judy! She was extremely patient with us and found us homes we loved. Judy was most helpful in many aspects of the process, and very helpful in solving problems that allowed each sale to go through. As other friends of ours plan to relocate to Sarasota, we will put them in touch with Judy. 

Wonderful salesperson. Low key, informative, candid and astute, she's superb. Will call upon her again.

Over many years, we purchased and sold homes with a number of realtors and then we met Judy Nimz. Judy is an amazing, easy-to-work-with person and a long term realtor in Sarasota. She is the epitome of what a realtor should be. Judy listens and understands what you want and then goes about finding just the right property. She makes what can be a stressful situation smooth and easy. Judy has many close professional relationships with other realtors in the area. When negotiating a purchase, this is very helpful. It helped us get the home of our dreams. We could not have done this without Judy Nimz. We recommend her highly. Judy is the best.

Judy Nimz was a pleasure to work with. Judy understood our preferences very quickly, made excellent recommendations, and was consistently diplomatic, helpful, and kind. She was patient and knowledgeable, efficient and well prepared, and simply couldn't have been nicer. She was instrumental in helping us find the home we sought, troubleshooting difficulties, and securing it for a fair price. I have already recommended her to a friend and will do so again, with pleasure. She is the best.

As in the past, there are not enough kind things to say about Judy Nimz or the company she works for.  We always recommend Judy and Michael Saunders to our friends. 

Judy is a consummate professional, yet she has a special gift of making you feel like you’re the only client she has.  She was patient in explaining what I needed to do - and when - and I credit her input with my receiving an offer above list price within a day of listing!  She genuinely cares about her clients, and I trust her completely.  She helped me through all the stressful moments with humor, a ready smile, and reassurance when I most needed it.  Judy and her hard-working assistant went out of their way to ensure that my property looked amazing before the first showing.  They ensured that any potential buyer’s first impression was 100% favorable!  She is simply awesome and my gratitude for her guidance and friendship is immense. 

We have never before experienced such exceptional service and follow through. Our good fortune was an initial recommendation for Judy Nimz as an efficient and knowledgeable advisor. Her experience, advice, counsel and persevering assistance were incredible. Judy seemed to make all the long distance hurdles, short ones and easily overcome. The most amazing aspect of Judy was her follow thru to ensure all the details, however small were attended to and completed to our satisfaction even after the closing.

I am very happy to tell you that Judy was very professional, and it was a joy to work with her. She was extremely helpful in every way, far beyond what I would have expected. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone planning to buy or sell property.

Absolutely the very best. Thank you!

I cannot say enough about the good fortune that connected my husband and me to your firm and to Judy Nimz. We were recommended to her through a mutual friend (who also had been Judy's client) and she helped us find the perfect house for our retirement. From connecting us to your mortgage professionals and to your rental management office, we were in good shape when we closed and leased the property to tenants for one year before moving. I really do believe that the level of service you aspire to is all accomplished and exemplified by Judy Nimz, and I could not be more pleased to send you these words of commendation.

My husband and I worked with Judy for over a year to find a condo in downtown Sarasota to buy. She continually stayed in touch sending us listings to consider. Her knowledge of the market and individual buildings was excellent. When we wanted to put in an offer on a condo, she provided insight and strategic advice to ensure we had a competitive offer in a market environment where sellers were getting many offers. We got the unit and then visited in person a few weeks after the closing. (Yes, we bought it based on pictures and her knowledge of the building.) Judy went above and beyond to welcome us to our new condo when we visited for the first time - left food, wine, and goodies knowing we were flying down from Boston. She also had flowers in the kitchen and a floral arrangement in the master bath. A new bath mat was in the master bath as she worried we might slip on the tile in the bathroom as it was slippery. Having purchased many properties over our lifetime, we can definitely state Judy is the BEST agent we have ever worked with. Thank you Judy!

The service provided by Judy Nimz was exceptional. She was highly professional in every way, with great focus on customer service and went the extra mile whenever an issue or problem arose to find a solution. No obstacle was too little or big for her to challenge immediately on our behalf. We would highly recommend her and would use her again in the future.

I had a wonderful experience with the sale of my property. Judy Nimz provided excellent information, was very informative and provided quick responses to all my needs. Judy made the steps to selling my home a "peaceful" and "calm" process. I would recommend Judy to anyone. She is a gem!

Judy is the best realtor ever. She dots her i's and crosses her t's. She takes care of you through the whole process. She bends over backwards to make things work. We have had 3 transactions with her, and we wouldn't think of using anyone else.

I had the unfortunate task of being the executor of my Mother estate. I live out of town and had to trust the agent I choose to represent me and my interests while not being able to see in person what was reported to me was happening. With that said, Judy went above and beyond my expectations. Judy represented my interests as if they were her own. She was responsive attentive and understanding of all my needs and concerns. If and when I am in the market in Sarasota she is the only agent I will ever use!! FAIR AND HONEST. 

Judy is an excellent realtor. She knows the housing market, is a terrific negotiator and has suburb backup with her company, Michael Saunders and Company. If you're looking for a new home or planning on selling a property, Judy is a professional who will make the process go well.

The sale of our condo in Lawrence Pointe was yesterday. It, like the entire marketing process, went without a hitch due to the skill and thoroughness of Judy. We had originally put the condo on the market early in 2020 but soon took it off mostly due to the unpredictability of the pandemic. We put it back on this summer and accepted an offer within 3 days. Judy did an outstanding job of marketing it from the beginning. And even after we accepted the offer, she was always there. Checking every little thing in all the paperwork that followed. Suggesting movers, good places to donate items, people to help us pack, and cleaners. She knew and contacted the best quality people and the most reasonable. She answered any and all questions we had. She also communicated with the management and property manager of the condo association. If there were a grade above A+, she would get it.

I wanted to personally thank you for the job your agents Judy and Bill Nimz have done with the listing of my home. You gave me their names when you spoke at our luncheon. They have produced an offer for my home which I have accepted!

Judy Nimz was exceptional, she kept us updated on properties that we were interested in. She always responded in a very timely manner. When we decided on a property, she spent hours working with us on the contract. She held our hands every step of the way from our initial contact to closing. Everything went smoothly due to Judy's efforts. We believe that she went over and above what was necessary.

My husband and I decided to sell our home on the California coast (which we loved) and buy a new one in Sarasota. My parents had purchased a home in Sarasota with Judy Nimz as their agent and raved about her. They call her “Mama Judy” because they felt so taken care of. Given their experience with Judy, we decided that she would be best to help us with our new home purchase. Judy went above and beyond introducing us to our new chosen home city of Sarasota. She took us around to various neighborhoods, showed us restaurants and things that we may like based on our interests. She also took care of details and checked in often to see how things were going and to make sure we didn’t miss anything important.  In the end we would up with a home we love in an area that we now have a connection to thanks to Judy. We will not hesitate to recommend her to friends. 

No realtor could have been appreciated more than Judy Nimz. Her services was exceptionally top drawer. Anytime I had a question, she handled it right away and she gave ample information that my questions were few. I would recommend Judy Nimz to everyone. I am extremely pleased with my new home. 

I spent over a year looking for a place with Judy in a crazy real estate market. With years of experience, Judy is extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind and patient!! I found the perfect place! She is a pleasure to work with and helps every step of the way… and even after my close with recommendations of services in the area.
