Richard has been our long-time agent (our recent sale was our third transaction with him) and we have also referred him to friends. He is a straight shooter with an encyclopedic knowledge of the business. His legal background instills confidence that no detail will be missed and his deep ties to the community ensure that he consistently finds the right match. We have always appreciated the integrity, thoroughness, and professionalism he has brought to every deal. Enthusiastically recommend!
We have both sold and purchased our waterfront properties using his services with the utmost satisfaction which has caused us to refer at least a half dozen friends. Not only is he one of the most professional and dedicated individuals we have ever dealt with but he possesses the unique ability to bring the right buyer and seller together. Both my husband and I have been fortunate to find 'paradise' on the Key and candidly, have Richard to thank for it!
We have done 5 LBK transactions over the last 20 years with Richard's representation. The only thing better than having an experienced realtor of his caliber is to have one who is also a lawyer! That's why he is detail oriented and able to walk his clients through the entire process. He's also been our neighbor on the Key since the mid 1990s. A real professional!
It’s more than a sale with Richard! I have known Richard for over 12 years. He has not only been instrumental in the purchase and sale of multiple residences for me, but even more importantly, he was there and continues to be there for me, since the tragic passing of my wife which will now be 2 years ago. Richard keeps in contact with us, making sure I, along with my daughter, are doing well, and stays a part of our family.
My husband and I recently bought a lovely property on Longboat Key, and we wanted to express our gratitude for the Realtor who found it for us. Richard Perlman immediately got our taste, patiently showed us a broad range of properties but zeroed in at once on the likeliest and best one, helped us through buyers' jitters, and actually made the whole process great fun. This process could not have been more pleasant or the results more delightful.
We own a gulf front property on Longboat Key which we decided to sell. I chose Richard after researching different companies and interviewing Richard. Since none of us live in Florida, it was critical to me to find someone highly experienced on Longboat Key who could represent us with local contractors as well as buyers. Richard has done an outstanding job on both fronts. We received 2 offers in the first 30 days of the listing, and the property is currently under contract.
Richard Perlman is the ultimate real estate professional. He listens to your budget and goals and finds the right property for you to consider. We have bought and sold several properties through Richard and in our mind, he is one of the best!

Richard is a first-class professional, who brings a wealth of skills to the marketing of high-end properties. In addition, he puts the property, and the sellers, in a position to benefit from fortuitous exposure to potential buyers. In our case, we entrusted our property to him for less than a week before he had a buyer willing to pay the full amount we were seeking.Realtor.com
Richard is very capable and highly competent and we will not use any other realtor but him.He handled the specifics of the sale and informed us of every step. His skill as a negotiator is matchless because he knows the market thoroughly. The sales experience was simple because Richard understands our needs and he knows the market. He persuaded the seller to enhance the sale with the replacement of certain items I was very pleased.
We could not have been happier with our experience with Richard! He is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. He often goes the extra mile for us - gathering information, being 'on-call' and providing excellent service that ensures seamless transactions. He stays in touch, and we are happy to have him as our new friend in Longboat Key.
Great Experience! It was a pleasure to work with Richard Perlman during the purchase of our condo on Long Boat Key. He was very professional and went the extra mile to help us work through any issues. He is a long-time local resident so he knew all the ins and outs of the island and the local real estate laws etc. We would recommend Richard highly!!
This is the fourth transaction on Longboat Key for which we have used Richard's expertise. His knowledge and service are exceptional.
What can I say? Richard is exceptional! He's a consummate professional, who has a powerfully nuanced understanding of the entire Sarasota/Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch/Venice market. He was very communicative and intuitive, during the entire process of helping us to find a new home. I could honestly not have asked for a better, more pleasant experience overall. And I might add, he is clever, funny and a sincere joy to be around.
After a negative experience with another realtor, we contacted Richard. He worked diligently to sell our house, and he found buyers who loved our house. We especially liked how he kept us informed after each open house. It was a very positive experience, and we highly recommend Richard Perlman.
I first met Richard in 2006 when my wife and I were looking for gulf front property on Longboat Key. Richard responded promptly to our needs with understanding and courtesy as well as the extra effort needed to help us find what we were looking for. I also found that Richard's background, expertise and knowledge of Longboat Key were invaluable in guiding us through a successful purchase on the gulf. I can recommend him and Michael Saunders without reservation.
Truly professional....This is the fourth transaction on Longboat Key for which we have used Richard's expertise. His knowledge and service are exceptional.
We recently were fortunate to enlist the services of Richard Perlman. He was a pleasure to spend time with and proved to be a very astute Realtor. He quickly learned what kind of property we were interested in, arranged a full plate of places to view, and we were, thus, able to efficiently visit many in a short period of time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, as Richard showed great patience and courtesy and went above and beyond to serve our needs.

Richard was a delight to work with. Very knowledgeable of all Sarasota communities and very accommodating as he showed me the options I had after understanding my requirements. He was very adaptable to my schedule and always very pleasant. Found me a great house in a wonderful neighborhood that suits me to a "T".
I am 70 years old and retired. My income comes from my own rental properties. I have bought and sold several properties and I would like to report that my experience with Richard Perlman could not have been better. I randomly found our house at 5:30 in the evening. I called Richard and within 20 minutes I was viewing two houses on that block. The fact the Richard is also a lawyer is a plus for me. I felt he was looking out for me in a way that most realtors might not concern themselves with. In addition, after the sale, he offered to hold some packages I shipped down in advance of my arrival. This simple offer was a huge help and not required.
I have bought and sold more than my share of homes. This purchase in Sarasota was by far the smoothest. I didn't really know Richard but he acted that I was a friend. He is low key and no high pressure, Richard is the type of guy that just gets it done. He never kept me waiting and was always one step ahead of me. I would use no one else.
Richard is great!Richard is very professional and listens to your needs and desires. I highly recommend him.Verified by RateMyAgent
Richard Perlman provided a great service to us. He was very prepared and satisfied all our needs. It was Richard's very capable skill set that let all pieces fall into place. I would happily recommend friends and relatives to work with Richard.
Mr. Perlman sold our house on Longboat Key in good time, giving tactful and very useful advice in the process. We got our asking price, and even met our buyer, thanks to Richard. It was a satisfying and informative experience and we would not hesitate to engage him again, should the need arise.
We just wanted to thank Richard Perlman for everything he did to help us. Working with him was so much fun and he's so organized, he made the process seem really simple. We're so excited about our condo and look forward to renovations and spending more time on Longboat Key.
Richard was so helpful and supportive. Great market knowledge.Richard managed the entire process beautifully. I would certainly work with him again. I have recommended him to friends.
When my wife and I initially decided to relocate to the Sarasota area, we received a recommendation that we should call on Richard Perlman to help us find our next home, and we’re certainly glad we did! It was immediately apparent how connected Richard is with the community, and how knowledgeable he is of the history of this lovely area. In addition to his skill and experience, he proved to be a truly genuine and pleasant person who cares about his clients. He truly went “over-and-above” helping to ensure that every detail was addressed and resolved, steadily following up on those details and getting results without stress or drama. Richard Perlman is one of the very BEST!
Over the past 2 years I have bought 3 beachfront properties on Longboat Key from Richard and this past May bought a fourth property; a waterfront home on Sarasota Bay. I use Richard because of his vast and intimate knowledge of beachfront properties in the Sarasota area. Richard recently sold a property for me that I had owned for only a year. It sold for 30% more than I had paid just a year earlier. As you might suspect, I have the utmost confidence in Richard's ability.
My wife and I cannot say enough positive comments about Richard Perlman! He was fantastic and supportive during the entire negotiation. I would highly recommend him to others.
Not only is Richard an excellent source for finding the perfect home, but he is also able to combine professionalism and charm for the perfect experience beginning to end. We highly recommend him!Arron & Christine Jagdfeld
I was asked to provide a recommendation for Richard Perlman who I have known for several years. He is well respected in Sarasota legal and real estate circles and is an expert in high end real estate. In fact I have selected him to sell my high end unit at the Ritz managed Beach Residences and have completed several real estate transactions with Richard in the last 3 years. He is attentive, ethical and responsible. I am sure he will serve you well in your real estate sale.
The experience was excellent as previous experiences with him have beenHe knows the market and kept us aware of the possible sake. We were very pleased
