Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
We can not say enough good things about our experience with Nicole DeSantis and your firm.We met Nicole while she was having an open house in River Club. She immediately welcomed us as we walked in the door and thanked us for attending. My wife and I struck up a conversation before we left. Nicole was very interested in our housing search requirements and took the time to gather our needs. Nicole was instrumental in setting up an appointment for another Michael Saunders listing. After that, we knew she was the right agent for us.Nicole worked tirelessly and diligently on some unusual issues we encountered on two properties. She was persistent, pro-active and anticipated all of our questions before they were asked. She provided excellent market analysi, insights into bidding strategies and assisted with arranging post-inspection vendor meetings as necessary.She has boundless energy, a sincere interest in insuring our successful real estate transaction and is extremely well organized.For all of the above qualities, Nicole earned the right to list our existing home in Lakewood Ranch. We know she will outperform our expectations.

I’m just sending a quick thank you note and acknowledgment of the terrific service and professionalism shown by one of your sales associates, Rob Brooker. As a new resident to the area and state, Rob was instrumental as a valuable resource beyond the real estate transaction. Rob was helpful making recommendations and providing guidance regarding some of the nuances of HOAs, CDDs, and development activity in the area. In addition, Rob helped us resolve some issues with our property inspection. We are really grateful for Rob’s help and would highly recommend Rob Brooker and MIchael Saunders and Company.

Mark Boehmig was my realtor. He did a superb job. Being that I was in Illinois, he was able to send videos and photos to me of the various properties that I was interested in. He, also, sent video/photo updates on the home that I was building over the course of 1 1/2 years. I’m very grateful for Mark’s assistance. He, also, came for my walk-through on my new home. He gave me guidance all along the way and to the very end.

Leighton acted as our Buyer's Agent when we purchased our condo in Bonita Springs, Fl. He was excellent. He was prompt. He was diligent. He was knowledgeable. And he was helpful - without being too pushy. I would highly recommend Leighton for any real estate purchase or sale. He knows his stuff and he works extremely hard to ensure his client is satisfied.

I have used many realtors. Sharon Ross by far supersedes any realtor I’ve had. She listens to her clients and doesn’t waste their time showing homes out of price range or taste. Sharon stuck with me for 2 years while I was trying to find my perfect home. She spent countless hours sending and showing me homes. Her professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market are exceptional. Because of that, I did not overpay even in a high market. Not only did she help me find THE home, but she also helped me with issues that came up after the purchase. Sharon will see her clients all the way through the process and beyond. I am so thankful to have found her as an agent. I can’t say enough. Because of her knowledge and tenacity, she ended up helping my sister find her home right around the corner from me. We both couldn’t be happier.

Excellent transaction with Rudy (our second). If you are looking for a realtor that knows Siesta Key, then he is your guy. In both our transactions, we explained what we were looking for briefly and in short order he was able to give us a number of different options. He also has excellent connections with the local banks and insurers, so finalizing a transaction in Florida for an out of state person is simple. Can't recommend working with him enough.

Barbara stands head and shoulders above all of the real estate professionals we have worked with. Her knowledge, expertise & insight allowed us to make a well informed fact based decision on our real estate purchase. Additionally Barbara’s willingness to provide honest feedback with zero pressure to buy allowed us to take the time necessary to make the right decision. Barbara has truly become a valued friend that I would recommend to anyone looking learn more or buy in the Sarasota market.
