Malihe Karimi, Realtor®

We appreciate the hard work Malihe displayed when selling our condo. We recommend her if you are looking for a realtor.

Malihe, you are the dearest, no doubt! Thank you for all your help in achieving my goal of purchasing condo at the LBK. I appreciate all your hard work, you far exceeded my expectations, made everything very easy and allowed me to fully trust in your work. I appreciate your strong market knowledge of the LBK area, your excellent negotiation skills buyer/seller became an invaluable resource in my closing transaction. The innate understating you possess of the value-of-time executing services promptly but also your professional advice even including providing access to personal computer----in order to file time sensitive required applications made it all possible for me. You went far beyond anything I could have needed and expected. Without your commitment and professionalism I could not have accomplished my purchase of the most beautiful unique beach condo with the magnificent view in the two-week time. You made my vacation pay-off so handsomely!

Malihe sold our condo in record time and within our target price range. She explained the process and was there at every step of the way, making for an efficient and very smooth transaction. The service was excellent, professional and friendly. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase or sell real estate. Malihe, thank you!

Got the job done!!! We had a tenant in our unit when we were selling it who was very uncooperative. Tenant not happy we were selling and made showings very difficult for Malihe. Malihe was very patient and professional with her. Malihe kept us informed every step of the way and sold the unit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't say enough about Malihe and the quick service she did for me.not only did she take such great care in having set up all my needs to sell and sell quick,but she made my condo look so great ,that I didn't even realize how great and spacious it could look,she kept me informed because I was in Massachusetts, set up all my contacts needed to sell and I believe got a great and satisfied price for my sale, she accompanied to my closing which made me feel confident that all was as it should be.i believe she went above and beyond all my expectation that an agent would have done for me, thank you so much and I hope I can refer her to many friends looking for a great agent, Rena Ricciardi satified customer

Brilliance.  Motivation. Determination. Focus. These are just a few adjectives I would use in describing Malihe. Last year, I tried to sell my home at a lower price point.  It didn’t sell. I wanted to move back home to be with my family. So, this year I tried again. I assumed it wouldn’t sell again but a miracle came along. It was Malihe. When I felt negative, Malihe was positive. She helped stage my home and made it look like a home out of Architectural Digest. She showed all possible buyers the amenities, the beach, the clubhouse, etc. She was extremely motivated and was in touch with me all the time. She recommended experienced help to update my unit. She was determined to sell it. Even when I was exhausted and too tired to cook, Malihe brought me food. She went above and beyond. She anticipated all my concerns about the move, too numerous to name. Her focus never waned. She made me see a possibility in: re to selling it when I saw none. Then, it sold. An impossibility into a possibility, in a matter of about seven weeks. What was the difference from my first attempt to sell, and the second situation where it sold? The difference was Malihe. Brilliance, motivation determination and focus. I give Malihe the highest possible accolades. If you want to sell your home, Malihe is your go-to. She made my dream come true.

Dear Malihe, I wanted to give you the greatest thank you for being a wonderful Real Estate Agent to work with over the last 3-4 years. When I first began looking or an agent, I wasn't sure how it was going to work out by me being long distance and then I found your business card. I have been very fortunate in my life of working with good sound trust worthy people. You are at the top the of the list. I entrusted in you to find me a tenant two times and you always came through with the best tenants ever. What I really liked about you was, that you really cared about the type of tenant you were putting in my apartment as if it was your own. I thank you for that. When it came down to me making a solid decision about finally selling the condo, we had a long hardy conversation about everything the pros and the cons, the best price to list it at and the constant communication. The working relationship we had over the years grew into a long distance friendship of two professional women who had never met each other, but felt like I knew you for a life time. I thank you for being the type of person you are, because me having to put my full trust in a person I have never met, until the day we closed on the property says a lot. It was very interesting how even though I had a steady tenant, we always remained in contact with each other on a regular basis. I hope other's see in you what I see. Even though our real Estate dealing have come to a halt for now, our friendship is forever. Natalie Singleton

To be honest we tried to sell our condo on our own but obviously with no success.Once we contacted Malihe and told her our situation and timeline she went the extra mile to perform her due diligence and sold our condo in just twelve days. Needless to say, she unequivocallyexceeded our expectations. You should also know that I interviewed several other realtors prior to Malihe, but they couldn't hold a candle compared to her. She truly is an asset to Michael Saunders & Company, and trust me when we say you are quite fortunate to have her on your team. 

Was very professional went out of her way to help you with any questions you had .her made the whole deal go very smoothly.i would recommend her that I know you is trying to buy a home to use her she was great thank you

We used Malihe for a series of transactions. She was a true professional, always available to answer questions as well as to thoughtfully listen to our comments and concerns. She made everything about the process easy. Her ability to stage is impressive. I would highly recommend Malihe as your agent.

Malihe, The pictures are wonderful! Thank you so much for your kindness toward us in our endeavor. I have downloaded five (5) pictures and will let you know which we will select. Again, thanks so much!!! Marge and Pat

Malihe is a very aggressive agent who sold our apartment in short time. She took time to explain all the features of the apartment. She was always available when we had a question or problem. Malihe will do what ever it takes to purchase or sell for you. She is outstanding. You can't go wrong with Malihe.

We were extremely happy with the service provided to us by Malihe Karimi in the purchase of our “weekend getaway”. We didn’t expect to buy so quickly but she showed us the perfect condo. It was a very smooth transaction getting us into our little piece of paradise quickly! We could not be happier and will seek out her advise when we upgrade to a larger home in the future.

Our experience with Malihe Karimi was outstanding from start to finish! While we only first met Malihe in late March when we decided to list our family condominium for sale, my sisters and I were immediately impressed with Malihe’s warm, professional demeanor. It was, no doubt, a challenge to work with The Three Sisters who all live in three far corners of the US and yet she rose to the challenges every step of the process. Her artistic eye for detail was apparent with the careful staging of the condo. Malihe captured the subtle elegance and tranquil warmth that resulted in photos that immediately attracted interest! When that first offer came in within days of the initial listing, we were ecstatic. Then, when the financing stalled on the offer, Malihe was undeterred and went back to work. We appreciated that Malihe kept us well informed of both progress and stumbling blocks throughout our rollercoaster ride through the month that followed that initial offer. Her warm and positive personal attention through text messages and phone calls eased all of our long-distance sellers’ anxiety. All of Malihe’s hard work did result in an offer that we were happy to accept…mission accomplished in just over a month! Five Stars for Malihe Karimi!

We worked with Malihe and she was nothing short of perfect! What a treasure. Not only do we have a great realtor to recommend, but a new neighbor. We are thrilled to know her! She is outstanding, with a superb work ethic and professional demeanor.

I recently hired Malihe Karimi to sell my condo at Sutton Place on Longboat Key. I am happy to let you know how impressed I am with her handling of this very successful sale. Ms. Karimi is highly professional, creative, and motivated to sell a property. She is also, very kind, cheerful, and respectful of the people with whom she is involved. I could not be more impressed with her assistance. Especially, I have a disability, Fibromyalgia; and she demonstrated appropriate patience and concern for my personal needs. Please know, I have dealt with realtors a number of times throughout my life - I am 72 years old. Malihe is the most outstanding of all of them. If she wanted to, she would be excellent as a mentor to people new to the profession. Thank you for a very satisfying experience. No wonder Michael Saunders is the best company in the area! Best regards, Michelene (Mitzi) Bakunis

We had the privilege of working with Malihe when looking to purchase a home in Longboat Key. Malihe’s knowledge about real estate is multi-faceted and she is definitely committed to exceptional service. She was totally available and responded immediately to phone calls & emails. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Malihe to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home, as well as seek her service in any of our future real estate transactions.

Malihe demonstrated the skills and character every client desires in a real estate agent. We had very specific criteria in mind for what we wanted in our Longboat Key condo. Malihe listened and worked diligently to find a property that met our criteria. She has deep knowledge of the area and market values, and she has very good instincts. Malihe was both prompt and proactive in her communications with us, and exceeded our expectations in her level of customer service. And, the more we got to know her, the more we were pleased that we gave our business to her - a true professional!

I was a temporary resident of Longboat Harbour, spending much of my time at my home in Pennsylvania.  After selling a property in the UK, I phoned Malihe Karimi and informed her that I would be interested in trading my first floor condo in Longboat Key for one on the bay on a higher floor.  Although she assured me that such a condo rarely comes open, she set about to find me exactly what I was looking for.  Amazingly soon after, she called to say she had found a property that met my description.  Because I could not fly to Florida to view the condo, I asked her to allow my good friends to view it for me.  Not only did she sell the unit that unit to me, but she also sold one to my friends!  The original asking price of the condo was about $430,000, as I recall.  Malihe assured me that it was not worth a penny over $400,000 and was able, with considerable negotiations, to procure it for $399,000.  I was delighted. Malihe then went about selling my original condo.  She was able to find a buyer quite quickly for a price I felt was reasonable and made it possible for me to settle on my original condo before the purchase of the new property in order that I would have the cash for the new transaction. The sale of one and purchase of another was not an easy task for Malihe.  Much of the work had to be done while I was in Pennsylvania.  She also had to work around my long-established trip to China for nearly a month.  She juggled all of this even when she was quite ill. I cannot say enough about her knowledge of property values in the area and her ability to work with other realtors for the sale and purchase of my properties.  Everything went smoothly and all details were addressed.  I am most grateful to her for making it possible for me to own the place of my dreams. 

My sale and purchases were all handled by Ms. Malihe Karimi. She was extremely helpful through all the stages of my transactions. She was giving useful advice and walked me through different stages with clarity and patience. Working with Malihe was a very pleasant experience. 

" we were very blessed and pleased to find Malihe and have her work for us to find the right property. Malihe is very professional an attended to all our needs very proficiently. We would highly recommend her for any of your Real-estate needs. Great job!' George and Diane Gadbois

Malihe Thank you for all the hard work and time spent on helping us reach one of our dreams. Dan and I could not be happier with the experience we had with you and knowing we made a true friend. Thank you for your patience and negotiating skills while reaching terms that were favorable to all. Wishing you a wonderful summer and will see you in the fall.

We had a great experience with Malihe. Our property had been on the market for six months prior, and we had received no offer. As soon as Malihe started representing us her dedication and professionalism were evident. She saved no time to have our house ready for showings, and her attention to details were just amazing. On the first day of listing she presented us with an offer, and three weeks later we finalized our closing! Just incredible! Malihe will make you feel exclusive, as if you were her only client! Thank you!

Malihe, you are a busy successful agent yet you dropped everything when I casually asked you about condos for sale in the complex. You offered to show me one that very minute. The condo was so artfully decorated (by you) that we fell in love that instant. It was a multiple offer situation and,  we ultimately were able to purchase the unit. You remembered that we had asked about a particular type of unit and when one became available, you let us know immediately. Again, we fell in love and you expeditiously prepared a full-price offer which the Seller accepted.  We considered keeping the first unit we had purchased but ultimately decided to sell it instead. You handled that sale expeditiously as well, getting us a higher price than what we had paid. Throughout these experiences, you were always prompt in responding to our many questions. We always felt that we were in good hands and that your many years of real estate experience would solve any problems we encountered. Thank you for your top-quality professional help and your always courteous manner.

We are excited new condo owners thanks to Malihe Karimi. We went from curious about owning on a Tuesday to making an offer on Wednesday, the very next day. Malihe made it happen. She was there for us every step of the way. Malihe exceeded our expectations, and we are deeply grateful. 

Sold and closed in less than 3 months. Thank you for your help and encouragement.

It was a pleasure working with Malihe Karimi as our agent. She listed our condo for top dollar and found a solid buyer. She not only brought us a full-price contract but did so in a professional and expedient manner. We would highly recommend having her in your corner. She will work hard for you and bring you the results you want.

I can't say enough about how pleased we were with the whole buying experience and that is thanks entirely to our Realtor, Malihe Karimi. She was knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I contacted her initially on another of her listings. I had been looking for condominiums on the island for several months but had not yet been comfortable enough in any of my open house or listing call visits to secure a realtor of my own. It's hard to explain, but Malihe had that perfect combination of warmth, insight and realty smarts; I knew after having spent under an hour with her, that I wanted to work with her exclusively. From the search, she put together of appropriate condos, to the contract work she performed and advice she gave, to the delicate handling of a delayed closing (due of course, to Hurricane Irma), to the subsequent follow-up on our settling in and the lovely housewarming gift she brought us, Malihe made us feel listened to, taken care of, and valued every step of the way. That to me is the definition of a great Realtor. Maybe Webster's Dictionary should borrow it and put her lovely picture alongside the text!

Malice gave my husband and I outstanding service. She is the consummate professional. She worked diligently to match us with the right buyer. We are all exceedingly happy with the closing of this transaction, the seller, the buyer and the agent.

Malihe was the perfect choice for our long-distance purchase of a Longboat Key property! Knowing that we were going to be in town for only one day to visit properties, Malihe sent us several listings ahead of time to narrow our choices. Malihe set aside the entire day for us and carefully planned our schedule to best optimize our time. When we arrived, she gave us a handout for each property to take notes and drove us to each of our selected properties. Throughout the day, she communicated with the property owners/agents as to when to expect our arrival. In addition to touring us through the properties, Malihe also showed us the various neighborhood amenities. Clearly, Malihe is intimately familiar with Longboat Key and all that it has to offer. By the end of the day, we had chosen a property and Malihe guided us through the offer and negotiation process. After our offer was accepted, Malihe provided recommendations for mortgage, title and insurance vendors in order to facilitate our long-distance closing. We’re excited about our new Longboat Key home and can’t thank Malihe enough for her professionalism and kindness!

We were very blessed and pleased to find Malihe and have her work for us to find the right property. Malihe is very professional and attended to all our needs very proficiently. We would highly recomend her for any of your Real-estate needs. Great Job!

We chose Malihe Karimi as our listing agent . we were totally satisfied with her Marketing of our condo and quick sale. You can expect honesty and integrity when choosing her. We rate her ?????????? ++. Excellent Experience Mike & Cory Walther

Malihe helped us with the sale of my mother's condominium . It was a long distance out of town negotiation. With Malihe's expertise , professional ism and caring she made this transaction as stress free as possible. These efforts on our behalf are worth more than I can say.

We can't thank Malihe enough for her professional assistance and expertise regarding the sale of our property on Longboat Key.  Within a week of our initial meeting with Malihe, the property was staged, mls listed, and 2 prospective buyers bidded full price or more than requested! A little more than a month later, we closed. That's service! Malihe is a mover and a shaker and we highly recommend that buyers and sellers seriously consider her as their real estate agent.

Malihe We can't thank you enough for all the hard work, dedication and the time you spent in selling our home. We expected it to take more out of our time and you just made things so easy on us by handling everything while keeping us informed along the way. We never felt like we didnt know what was going on during the process. Everything went smoothly and thats because of the time and effort you put in with each client, making them feel like they are your only client. We will strongly recommend anyone to you. Wish you great continued success! You are amazing at what you do! Thank you for all your time and hard work.

 Malihe sold our condo in record time and within our target price range. She explained the process and was there at every step of the way, making for an efficient and very smooth transaction.
