Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we are with the level of excellence we received from your firm. Most specifically, we could not have found a better representative than Larry Cushing. Larry is everything many realtors are not. He was honest, direct and professional and at the same time, warm and friendly. He truly made us feel unpressured and confident in our choices. He was respectful of our needs and responded appropriately. He far exceeded what is considered the norm. Additionally we were lucky enough to have the expertise of Kimberly Maiello to handle the closing. Again, a wonderful, respect and professional representative of MSC. She was thorough and patient and answered all our questions and even provided info on items we hadn't even considered! Overall our experience was a 10 out of 10 and we would recommend MSC to anyone who needs real estate assistance.

We wanted to take a moment to share our heartfelt appreciation for one of your exceptional agents, Larry Cushing. As absentee homeowners, selling our home presented challenges that could have been incredibly stressful. Fortunately for us, we had Larry in our corner. From our very first conversation to the closing, he demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, integrity, and compassion that exceeded every expectation we had. Larry didn't simply market and sell our home—he became our eyes, ears, and trusted advocate when we couldn't be there ourselves. Whether it was handling unexpected issues, checking on the property, coordinating countless details, or simply taking the time to reassure us, he was always there with a positive attitude and a willingness to help. He repeatedly went far beyond the responsibilities of a real estate agent, and we honestly don't know how we would have managed this process without him. In today's world, it is rare to meet someone whose work is guided not only by expertise but also by genuine kindness and an unwavering commitment to doing what's right. Larry possesses those qualities in abundance. His dedication gave us confidence during every step of the process and turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one we will always remember with gratitude. Michael Saunders & Company should be extremely proud to have someone of Larry's caliber representing your organization. He embodies the very best of what clients hope to find in a real estate professional. The highest compliment we can offer is this: we began this journey with an outstanding Realtor, but we finished it with a cherished friend. We will always be thankful for everything Larry did for us and will enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional representation. Please extend our deepest thanks to Larry and know how much we appreciate the remarkable service he provided. He is truly one of a kind.

My family and I cannot express enough the appreciation and gratitude we have for the way Larry successfully navigated our complex and somewhat unique needs relating to our family's property listing, and the outcome he was able to achieve. I was tasked with selling my grandparents home remotely, after moving them up to NJ to assisted living. The sale was time sensitive, in a difficult market, and nothing had been done in preparation for a sale prior to needing to list their home. We were dealing with work obligations, our grandparent's health issues, and their move up North, and we trusted Larry to handle everything down South. Larry went FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND, managing and coordinating many things I am sure any other realtor would not, and worked with us on every step of the process. He far exceeded our expectations, and did it all with a smile. Larry brought a serious level of comfort to our family knowing the listing was in his hands while not a single member of our family was in FL or able to get to FL to check on the process. We know we would not have sold this house if it wasn't for Larry, certainly not in record time without having to make a single trip to FL. We all can't thank you enough, Larry. We're forever grateful!

We came to Siesta Key for vacation and went home 2 weeks later with a new house contracted for in The Cascades in Sarasota . The best thing about the whole process was having Larry Cushing as our agent. We left Sarasota 4 days after our offer was accepted.We. Would not return for 3 months Larry told us not to worry that he would take care of everything and believe me he is a man who keeps his word. He made sure personally that all the little things in the contract were taken care of. He personally was there with the handyman. He personally found a roofer to fix tiles on roof before an expected storm occurred. He was there to see it was done properly. He was there personally when the home inspector went through the house and made sure all things noted were fixed. He led us to an insurance agent who wrote our policies. He was there for closing in our absence.All documents leading up to this were sent by esign in a timely matter . All orchestrated by Larry. As you can see the process does not end when the contracts are signed. Larry becomes a part of the family and watches over the details.He personally set the thermostat in the house and shut off the water outside when our return was delayed for a month. Without Larry things would not have run as smoothly as they did. I trusted him with the keys to the house and he checked regularly to make sure all was ok even to the extent of doing video call walk throughs with us. We have lived in the same house in Memphis 54 yrs so we knew nothing about buying a house today. Without Larry ,a man of his word, we would have been lost. Larry is not just an agent . He is a friend as we have gotten to know his whole family. Deals get done and contracts get written but you need someone like Larry to be there for you. And people like Larry are rarely found today

We are fortunate to have worked with Larry Cushing in the sale of our first home in the Cascades and the purchase of our second house in the same community. Larry found the perfect house we were looking for while we were in NJ and walked through the house with us on face time. He was invaluable in facilitating our purchase of the house. We relied on his expertise and his judgment. He then listed our original house for sale. Because we were in NJ he and his wife staged the house for sale. They did a wonderful job and the house was sold in a day above the asking price. Larry has flawless judgment and impeccable integrity and we recommend him enthusiastically.

I met Larry at an open house that he was holding in March of 2021 and that's when we started our journey to locate a home for me. There were many obstacles at this time which included a Pandemic, me being rather picky in my tastes, rapidly soaring home prices, and bidding wars. Larry has a very calm and positive demeanor and treated me like a family member. I could tell that he was ALWAYS looking out for my best interests! He didn't give up on me when I took a step back from my search to help family with health issues. When I was ready, we found the perfect home for me but not without the challenge of going up against 6 other offers! In this crazy market, one needs a Realtor like Larry with knowledge, expertise, experience and patience. I would recommend "my friend" Larry Cushing to help you with your Real Estate needs! :)

My wife and I would like to express our gratitude to Larry Cushing, our real estate agent for helping us find a home in Sarasota, Florida. His timely and so often help in issues like inspection, insurance and loan are some of the areas that things could not have moved smoothly without his timely intervention. We would also like to thank him for introducing us to a wonderful team including Cathy, Gris, Erin and Salena who through their hard work made this homebuying memorable. Larry is an excellent real estate agent and more than that he is an excellent human being.

-- Larry was my realtor on the recent sale of my house in Cascades. He was absolutely perfect in every way. In the middle of a pandemic with an owner who needed to move into Independent senior living, he helped in so many ways. I honestly think he is by far the best realtor I have ever used. I would recommend him to everyone. Stephanie HochuliStephanie

I am a Canadian who has recently sold a home in the Cascades community in Sarasota. Given that this was a long distance transaction and therefore a little more complicated, I have my realtor, Larry Cushing, to thank for making the process as seamless as possible. Larry has all the requisites of a good real estate professional. He is knowledgeable, accessible and tenacious without being forceful. He is also a fine and caring human being. Doing business with Larry was a pleasure! Daniela Zucchet

My wife and I have purchased many homes over the years. Larry Cushing was our sales associate and we found him to be exceptional during our entire sales process. His follow up on certain matters made our purchase and closing very easy and we can't thank him enough for his politeness and professionalism.
