I have purchased several homes in my life, and Rudy has been the best real estate agent by far! He was very responsive, especially when working from another state, and helped to quickly build our confidence that we would find the place of our dreams. And he did! Top notch experience.
5 star realtor great communication very helpful Rinaldo
Rudy Dudon did a excellent job for us through the whole process. He was extremely informed about the property and other similar properties in Sarasota / Siesta Key.
My wife and I live in Canada and we decided to purchase a condominium in Siesta Key. Through my wife’s friend we were connected with Rudy. Upon our first meeting I was pleasantly surprised as Rudy made no attempts to up sell us nor did he have any of the negative stereotypical salesperson traits. Rudy made us feel comfortable and as if we were in the company of a friend. Due to the fact that this was our first exposure to the US real estate market, we had a lot of questions all of which Rudy handled exceptionally. If he did not know the answer he looked into it and got back to us promptly. Rudy was able to secure us a condo on the beach for an amazing price and provided us with the support and knowledge that we needed. Even after the purchase Rudy has maintained contact with us and has let us know that we can still call upon him for any issue that we may need assistance with. I cannot provide a greater recommendation for Rudy and will not hesitate to refer him to family or friends and obviously we will be using him again in the future when the time comes.
We just completed a purchase on a home in Sarasota. We were extremely happy with Rudy's service. He provided excellent guidance options and realistic advice that is critical in the fast paced west coast Florida real estate market. We were shown a variety in a fairly broad price range so we were able to make a decision quickly and without the expense of flying back and forth multiple times from New Jersey.
Rudy is attentive, personable and thorough, but most importantly, Rudy works hard and gets it done. Would recommend him without hesitation and absolutely work with him again. In fact, we are!
My wife and I partnered with your agent, Mr. Rudy Dudon. Rudy's professionalism in dealing with the other parties involved and his keen knowledge of the entire process we were involved in was the central factor that kept our two deals together. There were enumerable challenges and at numerous times, my wife and I thought for sure that it was over. Yet each time, Rudy engaged, and the problem was resolved to all parties' satisfaction. Amazing!
Rudy does a great job! I’ve worked with him since 2012 and couldn’t imagine dealing with anybody else. He’s honest, not pushy and truly has your best interest in mind. If there were something higher than a five star rating, Rudy would get it. I’ve bought and sold properties through Rudy and have worked with other realtors throughout the country. In my opinion, Rudy is exceptional.
Rudy did a great job for us as we purchased our new home. He is very knowledgeable, was available whenever we needed advice or assistance and helped to make the transaction as smooth as possible. I would definitely recommend him.
Excellent experience, he really knows the PBC real estate market was right on in the expected selling price. Was exceptional in coordinating the closing as we were out of state sellers and we were able to complete all documents electronically with minimal effort. Would strongly recommend his team.
My wife and I were looking for a vacation property on Siesta Key that we could also rent since we live in another part of the country. Rudy was recommended by a friend who had had a good experience working with him. Rudy was very easy to work with even though we were miles away most of the time. Once Rudy understood what we were looking for we would text back and forth and Rudy would answer questions or send information we were looking for regarding possible properties. A year later we made our purchase with confidence. Rudy let us move through the process on our terms and timeline. After the purchase, Rudy and his staff were very helpful in finalizing everything. It was a great experience overall.
Working with Rudy and his team to sell my condominium was a pleasure. Rudy is a professional who knows the market and shares his knowledge freely. I trusted Rudy's advice regarding the asking price implicitly - and he was right. He kept me informed of important information throughout the process and made the sale simple rather than stressful.
If you are looking for someone to get your property sold, look no further. Rudy is your man. I am serious. Don't even consider anyone else. The first thing Rudy did was give me an honest appraisal of my house. He said this is where you will sell and this is where the starting price should be. Next, he said you need to fix items a,b, c; they look terrible. I agreed and he arranged for the proper contractors to get the work done. They were in an out within 3 days and the property was in top shape. He even paid the contractors directly and trusted me to pay him back at the end. Rudy D said "I will have this property under contract within 30 days". And you know what- he delivered on that promise! He is hard working, honest, transparent, direct. He is all of the things you want in a realtor.... and he can close deals with the best of them. In summary, if you want to sell your property, this is the guy for you. End of story.
We decided to list our condo for sale with Jamie. While we were waiting to sell our condo Jamie contacted us about an available condo that was just coming on the market. He knew that this was exactly what we were looking for, so we made an offer and became aggressive on selling our condo. While we were waiting for the closing, Jaime was able to sell our other property. He was even able to arrange closings on the same day for both units. We could not have been more pleased with the knowledge, professionalism and service of Jamie Styers and Rudy Dudon.
It was a pleasure working with Rudy on our recent real estate purchase. Simply put...Rudy, and his team, were excellent. Throughout the entire process we felt that Rudy had our best interests at heart. We relied on him and his team heavily for coaching and support - they were great guides from beginning to end. Rudy's local expertise and knowledge coupled with the relationships and network he has were of tremendous value to us. We would certainly and without reservation recommend Rudy based on the experience we had working with him. Thank you Team Rudy Dudon!
We have worked with Rudy over the last 5 plus years. Our experience has been outstanding in every aspect. He brings a depth of knowledge in the market that we feel is tough to find. Rudy’ and his team’s customer service from start to finish is excellent as well. As we look for our next investment in Florida, we won’t use anyone else but Rudy Dudon. Thank you for your expertise and knowledge.
Through various investment entities we have purchased 3 residential units from Rudy Dudon in the past so naturally, we listed this property with him for sale. He has consistently sent us updates of properties that come on the market over the years and piqued our interest in both buying and selling. In this case, we listed with him as he was able to obtain another similar listing for more money so we decided the time was right. It all worked well with being able to list and sign contracts via emails and close with our usual closing agents used before. We were able to receive I believe the highest price yet in our category and we were very pleased with the quality of buyer that was presented.
I have nothing but praise for our agent Rudy Dudon, from the get-go he went the extra mile. He was aware of the prime selling time and encouraged me to make the effort to ready the place for viewing. He made follow-up emails and calls to other agents who had shown our place. Most importantly, from our earliest conversations, he wanted to know our time frame and our needs. He made suggestions, but always worked with us. All of this teamwork paid off in our receiving an excellent offer, which culminated in our closing.
Best ever! I was referred to Rudy by other satisfied Sarasota clients and couldn't be happier. He did a thorough market survey, priced the unit just right, and sold for more than we'd hoped. He was prompt with everything and so nice to work with. Rudy kept me updated and was easy to reach whenever I needed to call. Although I am out of state, Rudy walked me through every detail and worked well with my attorney. I didn't need to attend the closing, which came off without a hitch. I cannot thank Rudy enough or recommend him more highly.
Rudy did a great job helping us sell our Condo. It was a tough market and he worked diligently to get it attention and showings. He also provided great customer service— always communicating with us as needed. Lastly, he went above and beyond to work with us and the buyer to overcome some contracual challenges to make it work. He knows the market and we would highly recommend him.
Working with Rudy during the process of selling my house was an excellent experience. His outstanding professional skills and knowledge as a real estate agent made for a smooth transaction of the sale. Rudy was quick to respond to any questions and concerns that I had and I would highly recommend Rudy to anyone seeking his services.
My wife and I contacted Rudy last year about purchasing some property near Siesta Key. I wanted to express my gratitude for all the help Rudy provided. He worked with us very closely, helping us to decide on what type of property that would suit our needs. Rudy helped us through a very trying process working with a local finance company. He was more help than they were. He also recommended an inspection company. I cannot express enough gratitude for all the expert advice and patience he provided us through this process. It was very comforting knowing that we had someone that was looking out for all our needs. You should be very happy to have an employee such as Rudy.
Rudy Dudon did an excellent job as our Realtor Agent, locating properties, and getting us as Buyers to closing, on a Condo at the House of the Sun in Siesta Key. I would strongly recommend Rudy to represent Buyers or Sellers in their Real Estate Transactions. He is very qualified and knowledgeable to help his clients in making the right decision to purchase or sell their property.
Rudy Dudon has just sold my apartment at the Palm Bay Club on Siesta Key and I wanted you to know what a pleasure it was working with him. He found a buyer 2 weeks after the apartment was put on the market which as you can imagine both amazed and delighted me. He was always available to answer my many questions and was extremely helpful throughout the selling process. If ever I wanted to buy or sell he would be the first person I called. I cannot recommend him more highly.
Rudy was great! He took my preferences and lifestyle into consideration as I wasn't sure if I wanted a condo, home or new construction. He showed me all three! He provided great advice and guidance - telling me if he thought a property was priced appropriately, or if the HOA fees to high for my budget, or if the neighborhood was a fit. He came prepared with a folder of properties we were going to see and a pen for me to make notes. When I finally purchased a condo, Rudy was present for the home inspection and again for the walk through prior to closing. He offered his assistance after the closing by offering to coordinate some repair work on my behalf since I live out of town. From start to finish, I couldn't have asked for a better agent! I highly recommend Rudy!
Rudy was great!! He worked really really hard to get my condo sold even though there were so many obsticals.
Rudy did a great job. I was particularly impressed with how easy he made the process for a seller. He really limited his requests to us to critical items and took care of many details without us needing to get involved. Rudy is a real professional!!
Rudy drove to Orlando to go over our goals, and assist us with completing and signing all the documentation. We had two goals: 1. Get us first in line for the property we are attempting to purchase; and 2. Sell our current property for a fair and reasonable amount; quick. We are currently under contract for our new home. Goals accomplished! How refreshing that a Realtor listens to your goals, develops a plan to meet those goals, and then executes that plan to perfection. We could not be happier!
We were given Rudy Dudon’s name as a referral, by a friend, and we began our search to purchase a rental property as a real estate investment. Rudy was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. Rudy helped to educate us on the current market and was a great resource as we learned the Sarasota area. Rudy took his time to listen to our ideal attributes for a rental property, he assisted in indentifying pros and cons and helped us narrow our list. Rudy was efficient, timely, and attentive to detail during the entire property search, negotiation, purchase and closing process. We greatly appreciate Rudy, and Allison, for all their help and would definitely recommend Rudy to our friends and family!
Rudy was among the best agents I've dealt with in all of my home purchases. He took the time to ensure he understood exactly what I was looking for, my budget and timeline. Within 48 hours we identified the ideal property and secured a contract, and closed seamlessly less than a month later. I strongly recommend Rudy to anyone looking for a professional and friendly agent.
I was extreamly impressed with the knowledge and diplomacy that Rudy and Sadar used to sell my condo so quickly and handled the problem of my land value coming in at a low figure so it was able to make the sale complete., sincerely, Nancy samuel
Rudy was incredible... He was able to find my family the condo we always wanted that met all of our criteria when no one else in the market could! Thanks for all your professional help. David
We found the experience with Rudy to be exceptional from start to finish. Rudy’s “no-pressure” approach suited us very well and we felt as if he had our best interest at heart during the entire process. Rudy quickly picked up on what we were looking for in a house which helped make the process smooth and efficient.Our home buying experience was complicated a bit as a result of the Covid-19 issue arising right after we signed a purchase contract on a house. Rudy was very patient and helped us through the process as we started and stopped a few times during the following month trying to decide if we wanted to proceed or not. Initially, after a couple of weeks we ended up canceling our contract however, Rudy stayed in touch with us and kept providing us with updates on our dream home and the market as we pondered the situation. Eventually, we re-engaged on the same property, signed an addendum to our original contract and proceeded through an efficient closing process. The result, we now live in a beautiful house located at 1508 Sandpiper Lane.Finally, we have several friends and neighbors that are considering a move to the Sarasota area. We have referred Rudy to these friends as we have the utmost confidence that he will do a great job for them - the same as he did for us!!
Rudy Dudon was very thorough and helpful from start to finish with our property purchase. He and Allison were very helpful in helping us find the right condo for our family. It was definitely our pleasure to work with both of them. With the previous owner living in England, us living in Ohio, and the Condo being in Florida, he made the closing process easier than we had expected. We appreciate all that he did for us!
Rudy did a great job helping us sell our condo Very customer service oriented. We had a pain in the a** buyer, but Rudy's patience and skills made the deal happen. Would recommend him with out hesitation. Thanks Rudy ... job well done!
Along with finding the right property, we were looking for an agent that would focus on an investment unit that fit our budget and be responsive getting us information in a timely manner. One by one other agents fell by the wayside through not listening to our needs, not providing information requested or simply not responding. It was a pleasure to work with Rudy, as he excelled in all these areas. He has a great knowledge of the area and the ability to look at a property from an investment perspective.
Rudy and his team are second to none! Our sale was set to close when Hurricane Ian hit. Being that we live out of state, he kept us posted as the storm progressed and even went to check on our property to make sure that it was buttoned up properly! We experienced many hiccups and delays during closing, but he was always on top of the situation. I can't say enough about the level of customer service we were given as well as the way he handled our property from listing to closing!
Myself and my family members have bought and sold approximately 10 properties via Rudy, he has always done a fantastic job on both the buy and sell side, most recently selling one of my units at a record price for the development. I highly recommend Rudy and without a doubt would have him on my side on my next deal in the Sarasota/Siesta market. Thank you Rudy.
Rudy and Allison were exemplary in our search for an income property in Siesta Key. They were patient and listened to our wish list and found us EXACTLY what we were Looking for. Inasmuch as this was a long distance transaction, Rudy and Allison made it seamless and explained every step along the way. We WILL be working with them again on our next our purchase.
“Rudy Dudon exceeded my expectations with respect to the services provided to me pertaining to our purchase of our condo at Jamaica Royale. From the minute we met until the renovations were completed, Rudy was always there to help negotiate and give trusted advice. Had I not met Rudy, my dream of owning a Siesta Key condo would not have happened. I tried two other realtors before I met Rudy. He is a rockstar in comparison. He is thoughtful, honest, responsive and a great human being. I have already told my friends to contact your company! Thanks to Rudy, we are living the dream.”
Rudy and his team were consummate professionals. They were a joy to work with throughout the process of selling our condo. I would certainly recommend Rudy and his team to anyone who needs his services. Blair and Sharon Doman.
Rudy Duden was very attentive, answered all my questions, but most recognizably Rudy is very tenacious and his tenacity came in very handy. He made things happen.Thank you and your team for a lovely experience. I would highly recommend you.
Rudy represented us very well. He supported us through the negotiations, assisted thru to the closing. What is most impressive is he is still supporting with any questions or things that may come up even after the sale/closing. A true professional. I would highly recommend Rudy and his team if I have additional opportunities to buy/sell in Florida
We have bought several houses/investment properties in the past and I would rate Rudy as the best in the business. He worked hard to get us a fabulous deal on our Siesta Key condo. When I would have have just accepted the higher offer, he insisted that he could get a better deal. And he was right. Rudy is a fighter, a deal maker, and an overall nice guy. We bought our condo via the internet - hadn't seen it at all, but knew that Siesta Key was a hot market, and would make a terrific investment. Rudy was incredible in helping us realize our dream - we are so lucky to have found him. Oh yeah - after we bought the condo, he contacted us several times to offer his expertise on local contractors and condo improvements. He doesn't just dump you after he gets his commission, he truly cares.
We put a great deal of trust in Rudy Dudon to handle the sale of our property. He found a buyer for us and secured the sale. After two hurricanes passed during this time we finally closed on our property. Rudy has timely communication and is a true professional in real estate. No one knows Siesta Key like Rudy Dudon!
We have worked with Rudy on 2 separate transactions. He has been very helpful and very responsive in both matters. I believe he was very instrumental in the speed with which both acquisitions proceeded. 5 Stars as a rating.
Rudy is who I think of first and foremost when it comes to Siesta Key. He knows the Key like the back of his hand and would be the best option to buy or list your property. Let’s just say I was completely satisfied as he did an incredible job helping me accomplish my goals under budget. Rudy is a true professional; experienced, competent, assessable, driven, and honest. Rudy is focused on your best interest and will provide you with no nonsense, solid real estate support and guidance.
Excellent service
Rudy has helped us to sell or purchase three properties; a beach condo on Siesta Key, a house in Lakewood Ranch and a second beach condo on Siesta Key. Each time we found Rudy to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about properties in the area. When we were selling he helped us to price each property correctly and prepare it for sale. He stayed in communication with us throughout the process which was important as we were out-of-state for all three transactions. He went over and above on several occasions to seal the deal. We would most certainly use Rudy again if we were planning to make another purchase in the Siesta Key or Sarasota area and would recommend him highly to others.
Rudy is a fabulous real estate agent! He knows the Sarasota area better than anyone and is well connected to make sure you get the jump on all properties. Rudy actually listens and will provide honest feedback. He is in this business for the long haul and so he does what is best for his clients. I truly appreciate his help on making my Florida dreams come true!
Selling our property in Sarasota with realtor Rudy Dudon was a breeze. His real-estate knowledge, professionalism, hard work, and kindness was beyond exceptional. You will never regret putting your real estate needs in the hands of Rudy Dudon. He has been our realtor three times and each time accomplished our financial goals. Smooth as glass!
Rudy is the man. He went above and beyond to help us sell our siesta key home then worked equally as hard to secure us a great condo. He truly does give “white glove” treatment. Besides doing all that he secured a wedding venue for us through and old friend/client. Can’t say enough about how pleased we are with Rudy. We not only found a great realtor but he is now a good friend.
It was our first time buying in the US. We are from Canada. Rudy helped alleviate our confusion and answered our many questions 24/7. If he didn't know the answer he looked into it and responded in a prompt manner. He is a great guy. Not a pushy saleman type which we appreciated. Continues to assist us even after the sale. Would highly recommend Rudy to family and friends. There would be no other choice for us.
Rudy did an outstanding job for us selling our condo at the Palm Bay Club. We had high expectations and interviewed a number of realtors in order to determine how well they met our must haves. These included using web technologies and other marketing tools to highlight our condo. Rudy exceeded our expectations starting when he first walked into the condo and pointed out possible issues that none of the prior realtors had mentioned. Thus began our comfort with Rudy knowing he knew PBC very well and that it was not just another property to be sold. He marketed the unit well and conducted open houses during the high-traffic holiday week. For us, Rudy was able to obtain the highest price our sized condo had sold for within PBC. We recommend Rudy to anyone wanting a proven successful realtor to represent them.
I did my research to find a realtor with the experience and insight we needed to buy our home and we got way more than I expected when we found Rudy. He was essential in the process and we don’t know if it would have panned out the way it did without him. In fact, I know it wouldn’t. His knowledge and experience speaks volumes, and because of this we closed on a home that was already being competitively looked at. He took an incredibly stressful situation and gave us the peace of mind and confidence that we needed, and we’re finally in our forever home. We are still in awe that we live here and we’re forever grateful!
Rudy Dudon, and his team, has been GREAT to work with! My wife and I purchased 2 condominiums on Siesta Key in the last 18 months and without Rudy working as our agent I can honestly say that we would have lost out on both of these deals. Rudy knows the SK/Sarasota market from top to bottom. His expertise and network of connections makes him invaluable.
Excellent transaction with Rudy (our second). If you are looking for a realtor that knows Siesta Key, then he is your guy. In both our transactions, we explained what we were looking for briefly and in short order he was able to give us a number of different options. He also has excellent connections with the local banks and insurers, so finalizing a transaction in Florida for an out of state person is simple. Can't recommend working with him enough.
Rudy was great. I had a difficult property to sell and all I had to do was follow his directions and he and his partner Allison Sadar showed the property to someone who paid my asking price in MAY 2022. The amount of work they did to complete the sale was impressive. I'll use them again. :-) Thank you. -- jim
We recently worked with Rudy on the purchase of an investment property on Siesta Key Beach. I'm a licensed agent actively working in another state, and I can tell you, I'm picky when it comes to other agents. Rudy was TOP NOTCH, and his service is unequaled. I would refer him without hesitation. I will definitely refer him to others. Absolutely the best.
Rudy and his team are intelligent, professional, forward thinking and straight dealing. Always willing to give advise and always willing to listen and take advise. From our initial meeting with Rudy and then with his team through finalizing the sales contract, and right up to the property being listed with MLS right on through the closing, the whole process was a solid and seamless event for my wife and I. Hands down the best real estate transaction we’ve ever experienced.
My brother and I had to sell our fathers home he left us in his estate. It was not an easy decision to make to sell, and we went back and forth for quite a while trying to decide. To be completely informed, we interviewed multiple realtors to get a fair market value. As soon as we spoke to Rudy we knew we had found the right person for the job and we knew it was the right thing to sell the place. Rudy made our transaction seamless which was so much appreciated because neither of us live in Florida. He and his team took charge and made the process go so easily. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
I highly recommend Michael Saunders & Co every chance I get! In particular, I recommend Rudy Dudon. He’s the best realtor I’ve ever dealt with. And I bought and sold many properties in my former State of Vermont. Rudy has handled at least 5 buy/sells for us here and we wouldn’t think of going with anyone else! Thank you all for such seamless and professional transactions!
