Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Marcy was a breath of fresh air in the heat of getting our home ready to sell in a market with over 600 other homes for sale in our zip code!! She gave us concrete suggestions and she was a master at staging our home to show off the best features. She called us with updates and answered all questions and phone calls almost immediately. She checked out any concerns we had, and we are extremely pleased with her suggestions and results. She was wonderful to work and would strongly recommend her to others.

Kathy was a pleasure to work with. She was responsive to all our requests and questions and got back to us quickly. She has continued to offer her time in answering questions beyond our home purchase. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

I can't thank Jackie Griese enough for everything she has done. She went above and beyond. Jackie is an amazing Realtor and deserves a lot of credit. I wish I had met her sooner.

We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all of the time you have given us in searching for our vacation home. Your dedication and endurance have not gone unnoticed. We appreciate your knowledge as well as your point of view on different properties. We have been enlightened and educated on so many different aspects. Even though we didn't end up purchasing a property this time, we value your kindness & professionalism. We'll keep in contact if we pursue our search in the future.

Stuart Lawrence and Laura Lawrence were outstanding as our realtors. Having a husband-wife realtor team is a real strength, and their efforts were very complementary. Their location within Lakewood Ranch, and their detailed knowledge of the Lakewood Ranch market, proved helpful in many ways. In our opening meeting, Stuart presented us with detailed market analysis data. When we found the right condo, Stuart expertly guided us in making an offer which was very valuable. Laura was extremely helpful in understanding the many details throughout the purchase process, and she advised us of the actions we needed to take along the way. She was always accessible and very responsive, and she shared practical insights throughout. Laura was our advocate, and with her help, we were confident that we'd have a successful closing on our purchase. Highly recommend them for a 5 star experience.

We were introduced to Carol when my wife and I were looking for a home in Boca Grande. After discussing our interests, we spend a couple of days looking at properties and ended up making an offer on the first home she showed us! She not only helped us find our ideal property, but once our offer was accepted, her experience and expertise was invaluable in helping us navigate our way to closing. Carol is an exceptional broker and a true professional!

Whether you’re looking to buy a new home or sell your existing home, stop your search for a real estate agent and start working with Sandi immediately! We first met Sandi in 2021 when we were first time Florida homebuyers and she listed a home we ended up purchasing (we had enlisted another agent to help us with our search before meeting Sandi). When we viewed this home we peppered Sandi with a million questions and she had an answer to every single one with back up documentation. She was so incredibly pleasant during the inspection and closing process and was a valuable source of information as we settled into our new home (unlike our real estate agent who disappeared after the closing). When we ended up looking to sell this first home in 2023 we turned not to our original real estate agent but rather we turned to Sandi. Sandi marketed our home with gusto & was so incredibly valuable with insights on proper pricing, staging guidance and was a dream with stellar communication throughout the process. She actively marketed our home with email blasts and followed up with each agent after showings and kept us abreast of feedback. We quickly ended up with not only a buyer but a back-up offer as well. On the flip side, we also used Sandi in 2023/2024 when we were searching for a new home. Sandi was incredibly accommodating with our search for our dream home-her attitude isn’t just “pick one already” but rather she tirelessly took us to property after property we expressed interest in and each time played devil’s advocate with us helping us truly reflect on the big picture and whether or not this was “the one”. In the end, with Sandi’s help we found our unicorn and Sandi brought out the bulldog in negotiations. Truly, Sandi helped us find & secure our dream home and we could not be more grateful. There is absolutely no one I would rather have in my corner than Sandi Dietrich. There’s a reason she’s in the top 1.5% of all residential realtors nationwide-she’s an absolute powerhouse superstar. Thank you Sandi, you’re THE BEST!

An absolute professional. From the moment Sandi stepped into our home and explained her game-plan to market our home until the moment checks were distributed, Sandi was there every step of the way. She attended every showing, created first rate marketing materials and in general took what could have been a very stressful event and made it as pleasurable as could be. If you have not made your final choice of an agent, if you select Sandi, you will not be disappointed.

You only know the true worth of a realtor when there is a complication with your sale, otherwise anyone can represent you. Unfortunately for us we had to go through the pain of using any realtor first (wasting six months) before we were directed to Sandi. Our property had an issue with the location of the patio cage which was encroaching into the utilities easement, no title company was prepared to provide a clean title, even though when we originally purchased our home, the builder through their own title company provided us with a title. The only way to fix this problem was to go back to the builder and get them to resolve the issue. Sandi was relentless, she reached out to the president of the building company and convinced him to raise and pay for the county documentation needed for a clean title. She went above and beyond to make sure the sale went through. My wife and I would highly recommend using Sandi as your realtor.

We have bought and sold over 10 houses and our experience with Linda Driggs of Michael Saunders was by far the best I have ever had. We really didn’t know Sarasota and asked our realtor in Naples to set us up with someone who knew the area well and could show us around. Linda met us at 9AM and gave us an incredible tour of Sarasota. She spent the whole day showing us different communities, golf clubs and the different Islands of the Sarasota region. We had lunch in the amazing downtown area. Linda was such a great ambassador of Sarasota, that by the end of the day we knew we were going to buy in the area and which particular neighborhood. We figured that we would wait until something we liked came on the market in the next 6 -9 months as there was nothing for sale in the immediate neighborhood. About a week later, though Linda's network, we got word of a house that was going to go on the market. We viewed it and a day later worked with Linda to make an offer. After a few rounds of negotiating, we came to an agreement. This is where Linda's value is even greater. Linda has a phenomenal network in the area. Before the house closed we met with Linda's designer, handyman and electrician to line up all the work needed after the close. As we were remote, Linda helped coordinate all of the meetings and helped guide us through the whole process. The whole process from first meeting Linda to closing took about 40 days. I highly recommend Linda Driggs as a realtor in the Sarasota area. Linda is so professional, organized and friendly, she made the process seamless. Kevin and Susan OSullivan
