The Afflebach Dickinson Team Testimonials
Thank you also for the generous donation to the MSC Foundation in my name. What a great thing to do! We appreciate your professionalism and dedicated efforts in the sale of 1804. You are a great team of professionals and it has been a pleasure working with you.
A week or so ago we successfully closed on the sale of our previously owned unit in the Ritz Towers building. It was the 4th Ritz property transaction we have completed with Joan Dickenson and Beth Afflebach over the years. While I am sure you are well aware of the high level of quality service these women provide to your customers, we felt the need to let you know how completely satisfied we were with all elements of both our recent purchase and sale of the Towers properties. Joan and Beth represent the epitome of excellence in service you have built your business on. You should be very proud to have them in your organization.
Beth, Joan, You have both been great to work with and represent the consummate professionals. I wish for you continued success and thanks again for all your many kindnesses. Fantastic job! Kyle B.
The level of service, professionalism and friendly guidance shown by your team of Joan and Beth was absolutely first class. Having purchased properties in the past in both the UK and the USA, I can honestly say that without a doubt this transaction was the most pleasurable and hassle free that I have known. Not only was the process handled perfectly, but the attention to every peripheral question and assistance in making life easy post sale, was truly remarkable. You have a great team there!
Michael Saunders & Company is a class act and Beth Afflebach and Joan Dickinson represent it well. They are consummate professionals who represented our interest with alacrity and integrity. And their referral network of like-minded service professionals, by our measure, is excellent.
Joan and Beth did a great job, not only with the sale of our condo but also assisting with the move-out. Their help was invaluable. They are very special people.
Not only is Joan a first-class real estate agent who, along with her colleague, guided me through the purchase of two condominiums, but Joan has subsequently taken the time to stay in touch, answer questions, and provided lists of trusted home-care professionals for everything from housekeeping, grocery shopping, and maintenance to interior decoration and information relevant to my cultural interests in this new city. Most recently, several months after my condominium purchase, Joan offered to stand as notary to witness my signature on legal papers. Understanding my concern about coronavirus transmission, Joan thoughtfully set up a socially distanced and masked meeting in a spacious conference room within our building, and with her colleague as witness, Joan not only guided me through the [...]
My experience with Beth Afflebach and Joan Dickinson was beyond excellent. They were very sensitive to my needs. I am an old lady and they were extremely helpful in every way. They were fabulous!
There are no words to say how pleased we have been working with Joan Dickinson and Beth Afflebach. They have made our transactions so pleasant on all fronts. Along with their consummate professionalism, we have developed friendships with both of them. We are strong converts to Michael Saunders and Company. Beth and Joan made that happen.
My husband and I purchased our condo at The Tower Residence in 2003, and from thattime until we sold, May 2017, we have known Beth and Joan to be focusedon/dedicated to selling the residences at The Ritz Carlton. In short, there is no onemore knowledgeable about the property, no one with a better understanding of how bestto market the property and no one more committed to selling the property. Unlike many realtors we have dealt with, Joan and Beth do not delegate, but rather personally and conscientiously handle every aspect of their listings; from photos of the property through final walk through and closing they are on site. Finally, a benefit for you if you will not be in Florida while the property is on the market, Beth and Joan are on site, know the on-site support staff as well as [...]
We first met Joan Dickinson and Beth Afflebach in 2012 when my husband and I decided to sell our house in Harbor Acres and move into The Towers at The Ritz-Carlton. What a wonderful team. Of course, we had a stress-free purchase in The Towers thanks to Joan and Beth’s expert knowledge. Here we are in 2020 and we decided it was time to move on to Sarasota Bay Club. We didn’t hesitate to contact Joan and Beth knowing they were the best to handle the sale of our beloved condo. Our condo sold very quickly, much quicker than we expected and we were in a dilemma about a requested early closing. Joan and Beth were always there for us and fortunately, our buyer was a very lovely lady, kind and generous. Although we closed in February, she allowed us to stay until mid-May or longer. We could not [...]
I must say that the total buying experience was quite incredible, & something that we have never before experienced.To say that Joan & Beth were helpful would be an understatement. From start to finish, they pushed the boat out, & even now, one month after we bought the apartment, they continue to assist & deal with any problems, no matter how small, we come up against.Congratulations to them both. They deserve to be recognized for the exemplary service they have given us!

I am writing to let you know about the outstanding work of your real estate duo Joan Dickinson and Beth Afflebach. They are truly remarkable and their passion for their job and the clients that they serve is highly appreciated. I saw a property online and by the next day at 10:00 a.m. Joan was showing us the property. It was breathtaking. We fell in love with the property and by that night we put in an offer. Beth and Joan helped us every step of the way. They answered all my emails and phone calls so promptly and communicated daily. They worked around my schedule, accommodating me so I could meet after work. I felt like I could ask them any questions and they were very thoughtful and thorough in their responses. These ladies made me feel like I was their family member. They were so kind [...]
