Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge Mr. Michael Cochrane. My wife and I spent last week in Sarasota looking at properties with Michael, eventually firming up on a deal. From start to finish he provided us with an abundance of options, was respectful of our private time, was always cordial, prompt and at no time did we feel any undue pressure. All in all, a pleasurable experience. As Canadians we look forward to new chapter of experiences in Florida.

Over the past 2 years I have bought 3 beachfront properties on Longboat Key from Richard and this past May bought a fourth property; a waterfront home on Sarasota Bay. I use Richard because of his vast and intimate knowledge of beachfront properties in the Sarasota area. Richard recently sold a property for me that I had owned for only a year. It sold for 30% more than I had paid just a year earlier. As you might suspect, I have the utmost confidence in Richard's ability.

Scott was always professional and very knowledgeable of the area. Each day he listened to our requests and always followed through with homes that met those needs. We love the home we chose. We would highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for home in the Venice area. He's one of those people that is easy going and not a high pressured salesman which worked perfectly for us.

From the onset, Lee made clear that no request was too large or small as she consistently delivered service and support. When she didn't feel she had the knowledge or resources to help us with something, she referred us to someone who could. I could easily provide you with several pages of things Lee did for us that clearly would not be included in a realtor's job description. We are so grateful for everything and it clearly reflects Lee's professional dedication.

We feel especially thankful to for you and for all you’ve done to help us obtain our beach-front condo! As you know, it’s a longtime dream come true for us. You willingly worked with our stringent criteria and only showed us properties that complied. You educated us on the critical things to know. We feel that you’ve much more like a friend to us than anything else (an amazingly dedicated professional too, of course!).

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with Rise. Not only is she very efficient and knowledgeable about many aspects of real estate and the market, she is also extremely pleasant, friendly, and dependable. I would not hesitate recommending Rise to any of my friends and have, indeed, already done so.

My agent was Larry Ziegler, and I want to praise him for his calm demeanor, good-natured attitude and always being there. We have been working with Larry for over a year and he's been patiently showing us condo after condo. He never pushed us, he never wavered in his tenacity to find what we were looking for. I have nothing but the best things to say about Larry. He's a great guy and we will continue to use him for our personal searches as well as for business.

Keely showed us properties for over a year and when we finally made a decision on a home, she was extremely helpful in facilitating the sale. Her professionalism, hard work and expertise were very much appreciated. We will recommend your firm and Keely Crosby to both friends and relatives who have mentioned purchasing or selling a home.

Kathy Carbone was amazing! She really cared about us and assisted in everyway to help us find the home of our dreams. You are lucky to have her representing your company. We will recommend her to our closest friends!

When we decided to find a new home in the area we sought the assistance of Karen Chandler and we could not have made a better choice. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the various choices we had, the benefits of each Key, and even the difference between living on the Gulf and living on the Bay. She was patient and very understanding of our needs, our timetable and our budget.
