Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Jan and I met Elizabeth initially through a buyer-friend. When deciding to sell our home we wanted Elizabeth to be our agent without question! Despite owning the home under three years; Elizabeth assumed a tough re-sale role, because it was ‘above-pricing’ for the neighborhood. Nevertheless, Elizabeth, was spectacular and gifted with the patience of a saint. My wife and I, wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth and the Michael Saunders Realty team! This was not our first home sale and it was a relief to know Elizabeth knew her business and her market. She came to the initial meeting and all-others afterwards with valued information and home points. She definitely showed-off her expertise in real estate, always with in a friendly and professional manner. We’ll miss that home, but Elizabeth’s friendship more! Jan and Roger Treese.

Elizabeth is a Realtor who can be trusted. She is honest, respectful, and professional. She is involved in her community and is aware of what is happening. Sarasota has a very diverse real estate market. She has innovative ideas which she uses to market her properties. She has exquisite taste which she uses in staging homes for prospective buyers and in her marketing. We would definitely use Elizabeth again as our Realtor.

Elizabeth is true professional with incredible knowledge of the Sarasota market. Even when we left to go to North Carolina for the summer, Elizabeth gladly visited and researched homes for us, took photos and helped us see the houses as if we were there ourselves! We loved working with Elizabeth and after finally finding our special home have remained wonderful friends.

Elizabeth is thankfully in the process of closing our current house...We thought the tenor of her presentation was just right, and we had never seen a packet of information on any home as comprehensive as the one she had assembled. I knew Elizabeth's communication style would work to help my husband and I to achieve our goals, and to shield us...from the stressful buy/sell experience.

Russell and I would like to inform you that our experience with Elizabeth Van Riper was outstanding in all capacities through our search and purchase of our home. Elizabeth exemplified friendliness, courtesy and professionalism at all times. When we needed clarification on any point she was right on top of the inquiry with immediate response time. It helped to relieve a level of stress during a stressful time to say the least! If we decide to relocation again, we would not hesitate to reach out to her again as our sales agent!

Good Day, We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to your Sales Agent, Elizabeth VanRiper. From the get go we felt extremely comfortable with her lovely demeanor and her professionalism. Elizabeth was always responsive to our questions and needs throughout our home search with her. We would and actually have recommended her to anyone searching for a home within the area. At one point we thought of going further south and Elizabeth was gracious to give us a co-workers name with Michael Saunders in that area! It has been a pleasure to work with Elizabeth, an outstanding representation of Michael Saunders & Company:) Sincerely, Ginny McGibbon and Russell Gore

I am so grateful that Elizabeth was my agent here in Sarasota. She quickly understood my needs, directed me to the perfect property and provided amazing support from contract to closing . I was out of state and she took care of so many details that I was unable to take care of. In a word " amazing"

We were fortunate to connect with Elizabeth two years ago. I've been a Realtor in NJ for 32 years. I know how difficult it is to be a Realtor. Elizabeth is a true professional. Her knowledge of the Sarasota area and her commitment to her clients is first class. All her communication was timely and helpful. She's a true professional and I highly recommend her. We also love her she's kind, caring and fun. We look forward to our continued relationship with her. Call Elizabeth you cannot go wrong!
