Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Michael - I want to take this opportunity to respond to your recent letter regarding the recent sale of our Sarasota home. It went better than any real estate transaction in which I’ve been involved.Our realtor was Barbara Sassen May. This was the third and best transaction we’Ve accomplished with Barb. Other than outstanding, I can’t think of just one word to describe her efforts. In establishing our listing price, staging the house for showing, and shepherding us through all the steps from contract to closing, at all times, she was professional, diligent, thorough, responsive, helpful and caring.I can’t imagine all your agents are as good as Barb, but, if they were, I doubt you’d have any complaints or problems.Suzy and Phil

Barbara was not just a great broker, but I became very dependent on her advice about almost everything related to this purchase. I haven’t actually met her, but I look forward to it because I already regard her as a trusted friend.

I am certain you have heard this before,but my experience with Barbara May in the search, negotiation, close and follow-up has been beyond compare. And I have bought quite a few pieces of real estate. Barbara knows the business, knows the local real estate market, knows how to work with both the buyer and the seller and understands the concept of great customer service. It speaks volumes when after the transaction is all done you consider Barbara not only as an advisor but as a friend. Mark Spiegel

Barbara represented me this summer in a real estate transaction involving the purchase of a second home condominium in downtown Sarasota. From start to finish, Barbara provided unbiased, discreet, objective, professional advice and I always felt she was totally protecting my best interests as the client. Barbara is very easy to work with and has a relaxed, reassuring, yet totally confident style in knowing exactly how to get things done. From the initial property previews to the actual closing (which Michael Saunders Title handled superbly) I have never been more satisfied with a real estate professional as I was with Barbara and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any prospective buyer, or seller.

A 5- Star Rating - I found Barbara to be an expert real-estate agent who was highly knowledgeable about the market, pricing, and neighborhoods. She was very efficient in the entire process of my purchase, and attentive to all details and keeping me informed. She was always professional and available when I had questions, as well as providing recommendations. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would strongly recommend her to any new clients.

Barbara totally restored my faith in realtors. Being in the construction/design industry, I have dealt with a lot of realtors over the years. Many have been great, but I have seen more than my share of realtors that I felt did not enhance the experience and often had little knowledge of the product or best approach to the process. Barbara handled every bit of our relationship and her approach to the task with acumen, experience, care, empathy, and, best of all seemed to literally take care of all aspects of the process. I could not have had a better experience and feel she was invaluable to our final outcome.

Barbara is the complete package. Buying a home is an emotional experience for all involved, she was the calm in my emotional storm. She comes with knowledge, connections, and a representation of your voice in all areas of buying your home. I am so grateful to have her as my realtor in both the selling of my condo and the purchase of my perfect home. She was there for me every step and all hours! I highly recommend Barbara May to anyone entering into the journey of buying a place to call home.

We had a wonderful experience maneuvering through the maze that a real estate search and eventual purchase can be. Barbara listened to our needs, respected our budget and flawlessly led us on an extremely efficient 2-day search West of the Trail, in Sarasota to find our winter get away! We had communicated to her electronically before we arrived in Sarasota, she had hand picked certain properties for us to view, then she and Julia McClung proceeded to make it an enjoyable few days. We were on a mission to find something to purchase before we headed back north, and Barbara and Julia came through! Their knowledge of the local real estate market is top notch and her advise is invaluable. We purchased in November 2016, and Barbara is still involved with helping us out and staying "on top" of things when are away. In our eyes, Barbara and Julia are the "Go To" Real Estate agents in the Sarasota area!

Thank you both for working hard to sell and close the sale of my little old house on Goldenrod. Also, thanks for helping Karen and I with issues beyond the sale of my house. It has been an interesting summer.
