I have been a Realtor myself since 1977, so when I looked for a Realtor to handle the sale of my home, in Sarasota, I naturally turned to June Howell, who is among the very best I have ever encountered. Her knowledge and devotion to work are outstanding; she is careful about details, smart about negotiating and stays in constant touch with her clients.
Thank you so much for all your help with buying our new home. You are by far the best agent I have ever dealt with. You were very patient with us and I appreciate that. I also feel you worked hard for us and looked out for our best interests, versus other agents who just care about closing a deal.
June Howell is my saint. June worked extremely hard to help with the purchase of my new home at Pelican Pointe. She was so helpful with recommending hotels, trades people and demonstrated a sincere and professional ability to get the job done. June is very knowledgeable in the real estate community and I will always be indebted to her for her unwavering ability to assist me. I highly recommend June for all of your real estate needs. Many Thanks June. You are a wonderful person. Don
June is an incredible agent! She helped us find our second home in Sarasota a few months back, and was responsive, patient, transparent, available, and a great listener. Once we narrowed down our range and location, June put together a list of properties to visit across our price range and led us through each property, allowing us to observe and draw our conclusions, offering only insights and questions we didn’t or couldn’t think of. She also went out of her way to reconnect with us or collect things we needed to give her for the purchase, and was so genuine and joyful with and for us after the deal was done. Kind, warm, helpful and always there to respond to questions via email, text or voice. We could never have asked for anything more. Highly recommend June Howell as an agent!
"I cannot praise the professionalism of June Howell and Lenore Treiman enough. The assistance that they provided me with both home selling and then home buying was truly exceptional. They guided me through the complicated process flawlessly. Through the tough negotiations, numerous deadlines and the never-ending texts, e-mails and phone calls, they were amazing. To top it all off, they are both very nice people. I can't thank them enough."
I was referred to June earlier this year. What I quickly found was that there were a lot of available options. I provided my key requirements to June and she found a lot of matches. As I got a better appreciation of the market, we refined our search with an unbelievable # of requirements. With that we went one weekend and I ended up making an offer on a brand new home.
I want to let you know that my experience selling my condo on Siesta Key was exceptional. June Howell is a true professional. Her knowledge of the market as well as her compassionate nature left me feeling well taken care of during a very difficult transition in my life. Her patience and caring put my mind at ease while I was in Illinois and the condo was in Florida.
During the listing and selling process you consistently demonstrated professionalism and experience as well as punctuality and follow-up. ...everything went smoothly in a marketplace that is anything but smooth. Thank you for your professional services and insight. You have our utmost admiration and gratitude for your efforts in selling our home.
I have worked with many realtors and I have never had a smoother and more professional handling of a real estate transaction prior to June Howell. More importantly, complex problems came up in my last transaction where June solved them in the most sage and measured way. Somebody that can smooth wrinkles and keep a transaction moving forward where all parties ends up happy is truly a gem in the real estate business. This pro EARNS your business!! I wish I could give her 6 stars instead of 5.
June gets 10 Stars! I have known June for many, many years; in fact she brokered a Condo and the house I recently sold! She also assisted in the sale of the Condo! June is a trusted friend and Broker, and I am privileged to know her! She exemplifies trust, work ethics, warmth, steadiness and determination! Thank you, June for being my friend!
I believe you will not find a finer real estate professional than June. In years past I have transferred to several place during my business career and as a result have worked with many real estate people, good and bad. Considering the nine home I have purchased and sold and the real estate people I have worked with I can truthfully say none of them were better than June. June has a great knowledge of her profession, the Sarasota and surrounding areas, all the various support functions such as insurance, closing and title companies, utilities companies, management companies, etc., and she knows how they all interface. She is extremely patient, more interested in seeing that she finds the right property for her clients rather than just closing the sale and pocketing the commission. I hate it when after one day of looking at properties the real estate person says, “ now tell what you liked about property A or what you did not like about property B, or which of the properties we saw you liked best etc. etc.”. I never once heard comments like that from June. Because she instinctively knew what my wife and I liked about a property or did not like. Her follow up is unbelievable and her communication skills are outstanding. She follows through on what she says she will do, she is right there on top of every step in the selling process making sure nothing is left to chance, and she knows how to handle the unexpected. June is a real estate professional and there are many in the real estate business who are not. June will not disappoint.
June has helped me to sell two properties, buy another, and, with my recommendation to an old friend, sell another property with a difficult permitting problem for out-of-country relatives. My first experience with her years ago was when a very young, brash, buyer's realtor tried to steamroll additional funds at closing, even after a satisfactory inspection. June handled it in her quiet, professional, way. Another unusual experience was the discovery at the last moment of an old oil tank buried in my yard. She knew who to call and it was immediately, economically, removed. She is knowledgeable, knows how to get things done, and, I might add, a pleasure to work with.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with June to sell our condo on Siesta Key recently. June went above our expectations. her expertise and knowledge of Siesta Key was very evident. June was timely and it was very appreciated, she always communicated with us be it by text, cell or email , she never missed a beat. If we had a question, she responded quickly and no sooner said than done, which we treasured. Most importantly, June is a nice person, very easy to work with and she enjoys what she does and it shows! If you are selling or buying a home, we would highly recommend June Howell, she knows her business!
June Howell gets the job done! We listed our home with June after another realtor created a debacle for us, and within days of moving out. June somehow managed to get pictures of the house, list it on MLS making the house look fabulous - even though it rained three days straight! We moved out the day the house listed, and it was sold the next week! She understood the emotional turmoil associated with the other realtor, and helped us to feel calm secure and cared for through the whole process. Her people skills, willingness to communicate with us and professional competence allowed us to focus on the other things we needed to without worrying about whether the job was going to get done.
Ruth and I are very satisfied with the professional relationship we had from the listing to the closing. This required more than normal problems that were expeditiously handled and resolved. You are a true professional Realtor in all respects and represent Michael Saunders in an exemplary manner. We also appreciate your time and effort to accomplish everything that had to be completed. As a former residential building contractor in Sarasota, I have worked with several local realtors – some of them very good. However, you are head and shoulders above them all in manner, knowledge and professionalism. Ruth and I feel fortunate to have had you represent us in the sale of our home.
June Howell did an excellent job in selling our condo on Siesta Key while we were out of the country. We have found her to be very professional and quite knowledgeable about the market. She is an excellent communicator keeping us fully informed at all times and has a very warm personality which make you feel very comfortable and at ease. June made excellent recommendations, was always accessible and followed up various matters very closely. She is definitely very dedicated in her work and we have no hesitation to recommend June.
Most of our dealings were with June and we have to say she did an excellent job. Her response to us was quick and efficient and friendly. I saw she made the sellers feel comfortable as well. At the closing both her and Lenore were there and we were very impressed by how professional and friendly they were.
Excellent! We clicked from first moment - June's most respectful of others' wishes and always offers a balanced, calming approach in the most harried of times! Her attention to detail is magnificent. I would never hesitate to recommend her assistance to anyone. Thanks again June - it was almost painless!
We just completed our 5th closing with June. For each purchase and sale, June provided excellent care for us. Each one created its own challenges, yet June’s knowledge and experience got us through each one. We enjoyed working with June and would not hesitate recommending her to family and friends.
..We are finally unpacked, the pool heater has been connected, Julia is happy at the new school, and Andrea hasn't put me through any heavy house cleaning chore this week! Yet.. So it seems we are settled and all of us love the house, the neighborhood and especially the weather. We are very Happy! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I am a repeat customer of June Howell and Michael Saunders & Company. I could herein lavish praises on June, praises she rightfully deserves, but let me just say each time we have dealt with her she treated us as if we were her only customer, which I know was not the case. In fact, our property was dwarfed in terms of value to others.
We recently were looking for a new home in the Sarasota area and were searching from out-of-state. I chose June from looking online at Sarasota realtors, and we could not have been more pleased with the excellent service that she provided for us! She was the best realtor that we have ever used…from start to finish! We came to Sarasota, Florida for a short visit in order to look at the area. We sent June some listings that we had seen online and an idea of what we were looking for prior to meeting her in person. She was so efficient, well organized and prompt!!! She had set up viewings for those houses as well as other listings that she thought might suit our needs within hours of receiving my email! June has so much knowledge about the area! She gave us a fantastic tour and explained the features of the different communities as well as associated costs (HOA fees, etc.). She was quick to answer any questions we had and immediately researched anything she didn’t know. When a house we were very interested appeared online after we had left Florida, she arranged to view it herself and FaceTimed the tour with us! Fabulous! After we put in the offer, June worked hard to set up viewings and inspections for us that would fit with our schedules. Thanks to June’s efforts, we were able get flights to Florida to see and inspect the house in the short time we had before the offer expired. She made the process painless for us! She also expertly navigated several challenging issues that ensued with this house, remaining calm and empathetic when many agents would simply have absented themselves hoping that the issues would resolve on their own. After the house closed, she was a tremendous help providing many excellent local resources and recommendations for tradespeople, stores, home services, etc. That made setting up our new home so much easier! I would highly recommend June if you are searching for a home in Sarasota area. Her level of customer service is exceptional!
June Howell worked patiently with us for 15 months before she found the home we were looking for. Most of this was done long distance as I am still working in Chicago. I could not believe the enthusiasm and dedication she brought to the task. June made us feel like family rather than clients. After finding us a new home, she quickly sold our existing home for a price way beyond my expectations.
June has been an exceptional agent that has gone above and beyond with helping us sell our property. I would highly recommend her services. Stefan
June Howell did an excellent job for us in selling our home in Deer Creek. She was extremely proactive and responsive -- either with quick email updates or phone calls and quite often a combination of both. June also knows the market and market conditions and advised us quite well on the right 'price to sell. If you need a top notch realtor who knows how to make things happen and can close the deal, I definitely recommend June Howell.
Positive experience with June Howell and Lorraine Neal.In October 2020 I decide to sell my waterfront home of 43 years. June was referred to me by a respected friend who had purchased a home through her some years prior. June was on an extended vacation and Lorraine was covering for her. My plan was to interivew 3 realtors and choose from the three. Disappointed that June was not available I intereviewd three others. Unhappy with 2 of them I recelled how warm Lorriane sounded. I called her for a listing appointment. I felt connected with Lorriane right away and decided to list with Michael Saunders. She showed the empathy I required with the sale of my home of 43 years and eased me thru my decision to sell. When June appeared I then had two great agents working for me. Lucky me.Both of them anticipating my stess led to a much better sale and purchase of a new home.They always answered my questions and kept in touch with me with necessary details. Most importantly they cushioned the negative effects of difficult buyer and their incompetent lender. I cannot say enough good about the way Lorraine and June handled the sale and and then the purchase of my new home. Professional , smart and kind- says it all.Best part. I am truly happy in my new home.Thank you, thank you, thank you,
I was referred to June by a realtor friend of mine. I thank God for sending June to help me through this life-altering transition. She was so very compassionate, and I could tell that she understood what I was going through. She took over from there. She religiously showed the place, and after each showing, left it as I had asked her to. She answered ALL of my questions, kept me up on each showing and how it went and handled the inspection and appraisal like the true professional she is. She made a VERY DIFFICULT decision and time, as easy as it could possibly be. She was always kind, and extremely patient with me, as I vacillated a lot on different issues. She answered any and all phone calls/emails/texts in an extremely timely manner and was ALWAYS understanding and courteous. I could not have asked for a more perfect agent in handling the sale of something that was so very precious to me.
She is a great gal and a super real estate agent. Since I was out of state when the prep and selling process were occurring, it was June who made suggestions and oversaw the project. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint
Most of our dealings were with June and we have to say she did an excellent job. Her response to us was quick and efficient and friendly. I saw she made the sellers feel comfortable as well. At the closing both her and Lenore were there and we were very impressed how professional and friendly they were.
Super gal
We have had the privilege of working with June since we arrived in Sarasota seven years ago. She has guided and assisted us through three real estate transactions during that period. Each experience has produced challenges. June dealt with each situation professionally and calmly. We greatly appreciated her advise, expertise and concern during this most recent and rather stressful transaction. I have referred several people to June and will continue to do so in the future.
I cannot praise the professionalism of June Howell and Lenore Treiman enough. The assistance that they provided me in both home selling and then home buying was truly exceptional. They guided me through the complicated process flawlessly. Through the tough negotiations, numerous deadlines and the never-ending texts, e-mails and phone calls, they were amazing. To top it all off, they are both very nice people. I can't thank them enough.
Excellent! We clicked from first moment - June's most respectful of others' wishes and always offers a balanced, calming approach in the most harried of times! Attention to detail is magnificent. Would never hesitate to recommend her assistance to anyone. THANKS, AGAIN, JUNE - it was 'almost painless'!! Aloha, Barb
We used June when we bought and when we sold. I can't say enough good things about her and enough thank yous for all the help she gave us both times. When we were ready to buy, the home June thought would meet our needs did meet it. In fact, the longer we lived in it, the more we realized what a wonderful home we had, and that shows that June understood us well. We were long distance buyers, but June was working here on our behalf, so our place here was ready for us when it was time to move in. When it was time to sell, it was only natural to use June again. Again, all expectations exceeded. It was the smoothest and easiest sale of all the homes we had owned over the years. June's expertise and professionalism cannot be beat. She will make every effort on your behalf, and do it graciously. Her service and professionalism were evident both times, and I recommend her with no reservations.
June was an absolute pleasure to deal with for the sale of our condominium on Siesta Key. She offered advice that came from her many years of real estate experience, and she was always easy to talk to whenever it was time to make or revise a decision. In the end we were extremely happy with the outcome of our sale. We highly recommend June for others who wish to sell property.
June Howell is a wonderful agent. She is very dedicated to getting the homeowner what they want. She listened to our needs and zoned in on the right home for us. We were informed of the pros and cons of each home. Nothing was sugar coated. Being honest helped us find the perfect home. She went the extra mile at our closing and made sure nothing was left undone. We find her to be more of a good friend looking out for us rather than an agent trying to just sell us a home.
We want to express our gratitude for all your help and hard work. We appreciate your dedication to helping us find the perfect house for our family. Your extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools and lifestyles of the area were invaluable to us.
I am sending just a short note to express our gratitude for all your help and hard work. We appreciate your dedication to helping us find the perfect house for our family. Your extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools and lifestyles of the area were invaluable to us.
We cannot praise June enough! We've been fortunate enough to have June's services for both of our two home transactions in Sarasota. Both were during difficult market conditions. June was our buyer's agent in the long, deflating market of 2009-2010 and we wanted her as our seller's agent in the hectic seller's market of 2021. In both cases June was unfailingly patient with us and our concerns. Each market presented unique difficulties for all parties. June has a calm, tranquil manner that greatly eased our concerns and worries. We greatly appreciated June's calm demeanor and professionalism during both of these stressful transactions. We would not hesitate to go with June again or to recommend her to our friends and family.
I just can't say enough good things about June. I knew, upon our first meeting, that she was a very understanding & compassionate person. As I had requested, she was always present, when my property was shown. She was very patient with me, as this decision to sell was a very emotional one for me. She took care of everything. She always kept me up to date on what was going on. As I vassilated on certain issues, she hung in there with me, always patient, always calm. She saw the sale all the way through to closing. I could not have had a better realtor. She was the perfect person for me to do business with considering how difficult it was for me to decide to sell. I give her an A+...FIVE STARS & a "Job Well Done!".
