Diane Fogo-Harter

Diane is the consummate professional and champion in her field. She has a passion for providing excellence for her customers and make sure she aligns them with quality resources in the community to make the real estate transaction process as smooth as possible.

Diane is thoroughly professional and always acts in the best interests of her clients. Her experience with new and resale homes shows in her due diligence, knowing the importance of independent, licensed home inspectors who work for her clients, not the insurance companies and builders. She was a key factor in my daughter's home purchase.

My siblings and I were looking for an agent to sell our fathers house after his passing. We were referred to Diane Fogo Harter from Michael Saunders & Company. From the day I met her to begin the process of selling to the day of closing and beyond I could have not been more impressed with her expertise. Being many states away i thought this would be a real challenge, but Diane put my concerns at ease. She was always prompt communicating with phone calls, texts, and emails. When there were issues with repairs that were needed to get the house ready for listing she coordinated everything with contractors and repairmen etc. She was always cheerful and optimistic when we would talk. We were delighted how smoothly everything was handled. If your looking to buy or sell and want someone who [...]

My family and I were faced with the problem of selling a home in Florida for a deceased relative. Not living in Florida, we had no idea of which realtor to contact to begin the process. Fortunately we were given the name of Diane Fogo Harter by some close friends so we made contact with her. We are certainly glad we did. Working with her was a pleasure. She was very personable and yet very professional. She has the knowledge and the contacts necessary to get the job done quickly. We would definitely recommend Diane for any of your real estate need.

Diane is an amazing real estate agent for luxury properties in Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota. She was professional from start to finish. The process started with detailed explanation of all paperwork. Her company had a photographer, videographer and drone operator take amazing photos of my property. They had flyers and maps and other information for each showing. My place looked like a model home. We had dozens of Zillow saves and showings started the next day. The offers followed quickly and we accepted. Diane continued working. She recommended contractors for a few minor repairs. The closing process was smooth sailing. I highly recommend Diane if you want someone to market your home like a pro.

My experience with selling a villa with Dianne was outstanding! After my mom passed away we decided to sell her villa and took the recommendation of one of her neighbors and contacted her. Our first meeting with Dianne was pleasant and informative. She was very knowledgeable of the area and the market. We sold quickly in a rapidly changing market (interest rates up) at a price that was better than I expected considering the market dynamics. There is a bit more to this tale. The closing was scheduled out 4 months as per agreement with buyer and myself. In that 4 month period the area was visited by hurricane and a tropical storm. There was minor roof and skylight damage which is difficult to assess and find contractors to repair from the state of Maine. Dianne was all over it. She lined up [...]

10 years ago, we made a cold call to Michael Saunders as we were planning a move to Florida. Thankfully Diane Fogo Harter was working the phones that day and answerd our call. She not only made us feel welcome on our move, but also worked hard to educate us on the area and find us a home! She is now like family and we have called upon her a few more times. We feel so fortunate to have found a great Realtor, but even a better person. Thank you Diane.

Diane Fogo Harter is one of the best realtors that I have ever been in touch with and used. She was referred to me by a friend who said she was fantastic and I wholeheartedly agree. She was always available to me whenever I needed her. The whole process was such a positive experience.

Diane FogoHarter was terrific! Patient and supportive through a long and involved process.
