Doug went above and beyond to help with the sale of a condo. He truly gave great service and was willing to help in any way needed, including recommendations for moving companies, cleaning services, scheduling needed repair work, etc. The sale of the condo would not have been possible without his help. I am very appreciative of how personable and helpful he was.

Doug assisted us in purchasing a condo on Lido Key. He was terrific to work with - from the earliest stages when we were just thinking about buying, during our long search period, through negotiation, during the purchasing process and now after the sale has been completed. Doug is very knowledgeable about the area and extremely responsive, and also importantly, very patient. We would highly recommend working with Doug.

I am very impressed with Doug’s work. He’s very organized and has a lot of followers. His professionalism is to be admired. I can’t thank him enough for selling our property quickly and with the top prize. Give yourself some peace of mind by using Doug.

Doug has now handled 3 transactions for my wife and I in the last 4 years on Siesta Key (2 sales; 1 purchase). His professionalism, accessibility, and willingness to assist with everything associated with the sale process is incredible. We have owned homes in 8 different states over the last 3 decades, and have never come close to developing the relationship with another agent that we've enjoyed with Doug. We would highly encourage anyone looking to buy/sell a home in the general Sarasota area to engage Doug; you won't be disappointed!

Doug Parks is the consummate professional real estate agent. He not only knows his market extremely well, but he also is trustworthy and very likeable. To me those are three of the most important attributes of a salesperson (someone I like, someone I trust, and someone that can deliver the best market information to me). During the course of buying two properties from Doug over the past 4 years, he has not only become my exclusive real estate agent, but he has become a very good friend! I highly recommend Doug to anyone who is looking for real estate in Sarasota, FL!

Doug is an exceptional realtor In every way. He is professional, personable and highly qualified. Doug is not pushy but always has his clients best interest at heart and goes way beyond the norm in representing his clients. It’s simple, if you use another realtor you are losing out. If you want the best use Doug Parks.

Far and away the best realtor in the St. Armands market. Our guesthouse was priced right and was under contract within a day or two, closing within a few weeks. Doug made sure every detail was attended to. Over the years we have recommended him many times.

Doug was a great help, especially since I live out of state. He always kept in contact and answered any of my questions. I had an issue with the water heater and Doug stepped up to help.

We have known and worked with Doug for the last 10+ years. Doug has assisted us with two home purchases and the sale of our primary residence. Doug’s knowledge of the local market, real estate expertise and professionalism are superior. When working with Doug we never had to be concerned that any tasks related to our real estate negotiations or closings weren’t always under control and professionally managed. Truly a top notch real estate professional.
