Simply the Best! Denise helped my husband and me find the perfect second home. After learning our interests and desires, she researched and toured us to multiple locations so that we could get a ‘feel” for Sarasota and surrounding locations. Denise spent a lot of time with us and by the end of the day, we landed on the perfect location and community. We felt an instant connection with Denise and by the second day of our search she delivered an offer on our behalf. Throughout the closing process (which was quick!) Denise was available, responsive, helpful. Whenever there was backup needed (not often), Nicole was always there. I could go on and on… Buying real estate can be a stressful process. Denise’s can do and positive attitude are a delight. We HIGHLY recommend Denise Mei for your buying and selling needs.
Recently my wife and I closed on a home in Sarasota through the efforts of Denise Mei. This is the second home she was able to help us find and buy. She did such a good job the first time, we wanted her to help us the second time! She always paid strict attention to our requirements but also made suggestions of her own from her experience. She has been very good about being available to show us homes on very short notice sometimes and making all of the necessary arrangements quickly and dealing with the seller agents, providing advice and in general, making the experience easier. The assistance of her daughter, Nicole, was also valuable because Nicole was able to dig up information on homes and provided some of the comparison data. For these reasons Denise (and Nicole) would certainly have my recommendation to others for her services.
We purchased our first home from two absolutely wonderful agents, Denise & Nicole. They took such great care of us when we were in the market to rent a home, then we decided to switch gears and search for homes to buy. When we fell in love with a beautiful home, they quickly went to work submitting our offer and negotiating our interests. After what felt like a quick and painless experience, the seller accepted and we were beyond happy! To say that they took care of us is an understatement! We felt at total ease with their knowledge of the industry and ability to represent us.
The safety and health of our customers and staff are our top priority.
