Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
I recently bought and sold my homes with Janet. She is an outstanding agent who is very patient, thorough, and very knowledgeable regarding the area and housing in general. She is interested in making sure her clients are getting what "they need" and always has the best interests of her clients in mind. With the additional challenges of Hurricane Ian, I never felt rushed or uninformed of the process along the way. I have already recommended Janet to other people and will continue to do so in the future. Additionally, the office staff that assisted with both my purchase and sale was pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable, making my overall experience seamless and stress-free. I would be happy to do business with Janet and Michael Saunders again in the future.

Janet Oberholtzer went above and beyond to make our buying process seamless and enjoyable. Her patience, dedication, and attention to detail were remarkable. Janet truly listened to our needs and wishes, which allowed her to find the perfect home for us. Even though we were shopping remotely from Maine, Janet made it easy by providing frequent updates and creating detailed videos of properties. Her expertise in negotiations and her guidance throughout the entire purchasing process gave us confidence and peace of mind. We highly recommend Janet Oberholtzer and Michael Saunders & Co. to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate experience. Thank you, Janet, for making our dream a reality!

We all know what a difficult market this has been for Buyers. Not only did Janet deal with this market, but she had to deal with our frustrations of losing offers we submitted. Her explanations and advice were always superb. Janet always graciously set up appointments, pointed out the positives of the property, and allowed us to make up our own minds. I will recommend Janet to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is an outstanding agent and very knowledgeable of the market.

If you are looking for am extremely flexible and fast communicator, Janet is it! We had very good communication with Janet prior to our move but boy did she pull out all the stops once we arrived!!! She responded to my 6:30am texts when we found a house that went on the market! Now that is service! No problem seeing houses on the same day and returning later on in the day for a second showing. Once the contract was ratified, she continued to guide a smooth process and we couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you so much!

Janet was great. She was patient with us , we had many demands, and found us the right home. Even after the closing she continued to help us get settled ,find the right contractors for painting , and minor repairs. We highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a home in Sarasota County.

My husband and I were very fortunate to have Janet Oberholtzer as our real estate agent. We wanted to find a home in the Venice area that we love so much. And we found the perfect home with her help. She is very knowledgeable, dependable and patient (as we had many questions). She guided us through our closing with no problem. Her areas of expertise in the housing market is vast; she has done her "homework" so to speak. And most important, to us, is her personality which is warm and friendly; always smiling. We highly recommend Janet; you will not be disappointed.

We purchased our first condo in Venice, FL in 2015 and worked with Janet Oberholtzer. She was great to work with and made it a pleasant experience. When we decided to sell the condo and look for a house we wanted to work with her again. She sold the condo in record time and then helped us find the house we were hoping for. Janet was very helpful in both transactions. Neither of us is very computer savvy and she walked us through each step while we were back here in Indiana and everything went smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone. In fact, we did recommend Janet to one of our friends and they were also able to purchase the house in Pelican Point last year. In addition, the MSC Title Company was great to work with. Thanks!! Sincerely, Doug and Jan Hite

I cannot say enough about Janet, she truly listens to her customers. As a customer service representative myself, I take customer service extremely seriously, and that means “listening to the customers”. Janet truly heard my husband and me, she didn’t push us, she listened. When Janet knew we were on the verge of walking away from Bellacina, she intervened and told them “they will walk away if you do work with them”. She understood who we were, and where we wanted to be, as well as what we wanted. Customer Service and listening is so important, and I truly felt Janet was an excellent listener. If it wasn’t for Janet truly helping us through the entire process, I don’t believe we would have purchased when we did. Listening to us pointed us in the right direction to make the best choice for us. Janet is wonderful and MSC is lucky to have her, and as I have already done, I will continue to recommend Janet and MSC to friends/family.

We met Janet through a friend who highly recommended her. I am very grateful for the friend that recommended her and for Janet who is one of the most professional realtors I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable, insightful, patient and honest. I would highly recommend Janet for anyone looking for a house in southwest Florida!

Janet is an exceptional Real Estate Agent. She is truly knowledgeable and loves her job! She was very patient with helping me find the "right" house for me. After a year of looking, I just settled on my Condo and couldn't be happier. This is not my first purchase or sale and Janet has been by far the best realtor experience I have had.
