Alison Elizalde

We were referred to Alison from one of our neighbors and our experience selling our house could not have been any better. Alison is super responsive, very knowledgeable and provided excellent advice throughout the process. We had moved out of the state and were able to do everything seamlessly. Alison took care of any on-site needs and helped us establish a sales price that ended up being exactly where it needed to be. The photography and marketing piece that she put together showcased all of the best qualities of the property and definitely helped increase its value. Alison was always available by cell phone and even accessible when she had an overseas trip scheduled. She had a colleague available to assist, but amazingly we heard directly from her despite timezone differences. We can’t [...]

Alison was professional, warm, and extremely thorough in helping us find our new home in Sarasota. In reviewing neighborhoods and “sample” houses, she quickly and accurately determined our tastes. When we were able to see houses in person, her comments and evaluations were extremely helpful. When it came time to make an offer and complete the transaction, we are convinced that it was Alison’s negotiating skills and her overall respectful, professional, and kind manner that ultimately made the transaction a success. Her follow-through continued even after the close. We feel that Alison truly had our best interests at heart and did not waver in representing us! We love our new home and our welcome to Sarasota could not have been more positive thanks to Alison.

Alison is wonderful, she sold me my condo on Siesta Key in 2009 and we have been in touch since. She helped me when I was deciding on whether to move to a condo in downtown Sarasota, or a community such as Sunrise Preserve or to a home not affiliated with an HOA. She has been patient since it was a few years before I retired that I started my search. I always recommend her to family and friends who are house hunting. Alison is patient and listens to the customer, she adapts her style to the customer's style so I felt very comfortable taking her advice since I knew she had my best interest at heart. I lived in the NY and NJ area all my life and have had realtors who just didn't listen and that is the worst because I felt they just wanted their commission and didn't care if I were happy or [...]

Alison took over all sales details with little effort on our part. Having a person like Alison working with us, long-distance, made the transition from seller to buyer with little effort. We would not ever hesitate to recommend Alison to future sellers. She was excellent to work with and took all the work away from us.

Alison Elizalde took the time to understand our downsizing dilemma, perceiving our needs both physical and aesthetic. Our choice was soon realized. With patience and expertise, Alison executed a straightforward and agreeable contract; the process to closing was smooth and comfortable. Alison really made it all come together! We still can’t believe our “good luck” during this life-changing process - which actually proves it’s not just luck but the experience and consideration of the Michael Saunders’ agents which made it go so well. And we’re loving our new home!

My wife and I would like to express our praise and recommendation for Alison Elizalde for her patience and professionalism while handling the sale of our home.It has taken a long time, however, Alison was constantly upbeat and positive that the right person would come along.Not only did she help us sell our home for a good price, but assisted us with finding a new home. Alison is the epitome of what Michael Saunders Realty stands for and you should be very proud to have her representing you.If we ever decide to move again or know someone that needs professional assistance we will recommend Alison and Michael Saunders Realty. Sincerely yours, Mike & Sue Allison

We've had the pleasure of working with Alison Elizalde for four years. This past May, she helped us sell our home. Alison is a consummate professional: knowledgeable, organized and courteous. She has been unfailingly supportive and patient with us, accommodating our needs and schedules while helping us navigate the complexities of contractual and other requirements. We even recommended her to friends who were relocating to Sarasota; she successfully found them a home. We've come to depend on Alison as our Realtor® and as a friend, and have loved our experience working together.

When selling my house, Alison was there every step of the way for me. From the photo shoot to the closing. Alison explained everything I needed to know from important details, documents, and timeframes. Alison was thorough and I felt she accomplished my sale with ease. I highly recommend Alison and I am very grateful she was my realtor for the sale of my house. Cannot say enough good things.

In looking for a home, not just a house, Alison Elizalde out-performed! She was not only a delight to work with, and continues to help me, but is the ultimate professional. Alison was patient, kind, and extremely thorough. She made me look just beyond each and every one of my parameters to NAIL the ideal home for me! When I got antsy or anxious, she calmed me down (I needed it!), and reassured me that the perfect home would show up very soon. I come from a Realtor’s family and probably know just enough to be dangerous (did my own research, as well, but Alison was always a step ahead of me). I highly recommend Alison to anyone who wants a crackerjack, as well as a polished, experienced, knowledgeable Realtor.
