Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Unlike most first-time home-owners, we started with no desire to look at countless properties. Instead, we started with a historic street on Siesta Key, and then a specific house listed for sale on that street. Since the seller was, himself, a long-established, local real estate agent, we saw an opportunity to save money in fees and other costs. As time went by in negotiations about structural mediations, inspections, and other costs, we became increasingly aware that we needed a professional working for us. This led us to Mimi Kruk, a licensed Residential agent with extensive knowledge of Sarasota and its Keys. Mimi re-set the whole process, reduced our intended offer, and negotiated documented pre-closing repairs that the 50-year old house needed. She saved us approximately $45K in a lowered purchase price and home repairs that would have come out of our pocket instead of the seller's. Mimi is attentive and comprehensive, leaving no stone unturned when researching a property's history, sustaining momentum in negotiations, making astute recommendations, discussing strategic options, and finding practical solutions involving key players (banking, insurance, seller, and service providers) whose own timetables and priorities seemed to change daily. Mimi locked people in. She is smart, tough, and always has her eye on the ball. She works late, always returns messages, and we always knew the score. Having Mimi on our bench prevented us from making costly mistakes and got us the house we dreamed of owning. We can't recommend her too highly to prospective home buyers (or sellers) in the Sarasota area. When we find superb professionals, such as our life-saving local vet or no nonsense roofer, they populate our short-list. On our go-to short-list, Mimi's there to stay.

My siblings and I were looking for an agent to sell our fathers house after his passing. We were referred to Diane Fogo Harter from Michael Saunders & Company. From the day I met her to begin the process of selling to the day of closing and beyond I could have not been more impressed with her expertise. Being many states away i thought this would be a real challenge, but Diane put my concerns at ease. She was always prompt communicating with phone calls, texts, and emails. When there were issues with repairs that were needed to get the house ready for listing she coordinated everything with contractors and repairmen etc. She was always cheerful and optimistic when we would talk. We were delighted how smoothly everything was handled. If your looking to buy or sell and want someone who really knows the real estate business, please do not hesitate to contact Diane!

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with Philip Pisano. Thanks to his expertise and experience as an investor, I was able to successfully acquire four investment properties in the Sarasota area. Philip's keen eye for identifying profitable properties is truly impressive. He always puts his heart into his work and remains dedicated to his clients even long after the deal is done. Whenever I need recommendations for vendors or any kind of assistance, I can count on Philip without a doubt. I wholeheartedly endorse him and urge others to seek his services.

Working with Beverly was a THE BEST EXPERIENCE! She was patient, understanding, and very focused on our sale. Beverly is extremely responsive...she even answered her cell phone when she was on safari in South Africa! Our house sold just before Hurricane Idalia, and we literally closed the day after....thanks to Beverly! It was a pleasure working with Beverly!

Many thanks to Janis and Ron for helping me find a wonderful home in Lakewood Ranch. I really appreciate their knowledge and insights. It has been a pleasure to work with them. They made the whole process go smoothly. Janis knew the right questions to ask as we looked at different properties and then during the walk through before closing. As a newcomer to the area, they also have been a great resource for me.

Alexa was very helpful and professional all the time that she worked with us when selling our property. As we were having to return to the UK and had a tight timeframe to sell the house, she worked closely with us to get the house prepared and ready to sell and was proactive in marketing the property. She successfully sold our property and managed a smooth closing. We couldn’t be more happy with Alexa’s expertise throughout the process and would recommend her services.
