Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Michael Saunders & Company / Jody Shinn When my wife and I decided to purchase a second home in the Sarasota area, we began our search by meeting with several different realtors. My wife and I both knew Jody Shinn was who we wanted work with almost immediately after meeting her. Jody provided exceptional service with a personal touch. She rearranged her schedule more than once to accommodate our limited schedule. Jody help direct us in a final decision of purchasing a new home on Anna Maria Island. Anna Maria was definitely not our first choice but after several conversations on the pros and cons of all areas in and around Sarasota we are now living the island life and loving it! We continue to stay in touch with Jody with all types of questions, personal and professional, and if she doesn't have an answer she sends us in the right direction. Jody is now assisting my wife's sister in purchasing a home and continues to go above and beyond with her professional service. We will never hesitate to recommend Jody and the entire Michael Saunders team. Our Sincere Thanks Kevin & Jill Parker

This is the second house we have bought through Jody and we were extremely pleased both times. We plan to list one of our houses with her in the next couple of months. We were transferred and consequently bought and sold houses all over the country during my career. Jody is, unquestionably, the most ethical and reliable Real Estate Agent we have ever dealt with. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase or sell a house in the Bradenton/Sarasota area.

Jody's excellent knowledge of the local real estate market, neighborhoods, price trends and new construction ensured we purchased the right home for the right price in the right location to fit my family's needs. Her years of experience were crucial as she advised us through two simultaneous negotiations with sellers. When the home inspection report recommended we bring in a couple of specialists for further investigation, she was able to schedule additional inspections on short notice to ensure we met the time constraints indicated in the sales agreement. While under contract, but before actual close, she was more than willing to make arrangements for us to visit the house so we could begin interior design planning and to receive quotes from contractors. I would use Jody as my broker again.

When we found a Condo on Longboat Key that was listed with Michael Saunders we had the pleasure of working with Jody Shinn. Jody has always impressed us with her drive, business acumen and determination to succeed, but doing so while maintaining high ethical standards and a commitment to doing the right thing. So when we needed a Realtor that represented Michael Saunders, Jody was our easy choice. When we began working with Jody she kept us informed through out the whole process. She was at our beckon call when ever we needed more information. When we wanted to view the property she did so at our convenience. She also provided us alternative viewings so we could make comparisons to help in our decision. Jody has been a family friend for many years. When our Daughter and son-in law needed a Realtor we knew we could trust her with getting them the best information on helping them make a well inform decision in their purchase. It was with great pleasure we were able to refer her to them and know they were in great hands. Other Realtors could learn much from her…… It has been a thrill to see her evolve into one of the top Realtors in Manatee county. If your looking for a Realtor you can trust WE highly recommend Jody Shinn.

It was wonderful working with Jody. We were new to the area and she was very helpful showing us houses in the different areas of Bradenton. We were fortunate enough to find a house right away and she was very instrumental in helping us with all aspects of the purchase of our home. We were out of town and she set up all the inspection appointments and was there to oversee them. Jody was always available to answer any questions. She was there every step of the way from the initial contract to closing. Jody's knowledge of the area, friendly manner and professionalism made what could be a very stressful process a lot less stressful. We would highly recommend Jody for your realtor!
