Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Excellent 5 Star negotiators who are PROFESSIONAL and TRUSTWORTHY Realtors, is how I would best describe Laura and Stuart Lawrence! As someone from Hong Kong and completely new to Florida, I stumbled upon Laura and Stuart when I was searching for a Florida home online because they were the listing agents for one of the homes in the University Park/Lakewood Ranch areas in which I was interested. I called them. On my first call with Laura, and Stuart they listened patiently to a number of complicating factors affecting my requirements for a home, including proximity to a tennis academy, safety issues and uncertainty regarding my length of stay in FL that can all potential affect the financial value of my home purchase. Laura and Stuart advised me to instead look for another home that would better meet my needs and asked me to stay patient with what was available in the market, which really surprised me because she didn’t talk me into buying the home. For this very reason,I was very gracious to Laura and Stuart Lawrence for understanding my needs and taking care of my interest, and I knew I could trust them.I entrusted them to find me the RIGHT home, which proved to be one of the most precious and successful relationships I have ever had.In a very difficult situation where we could lose one or both of the two homes we were going to bid on, we were able to secure a beautiful home in a very popular community at a good price in Lakewood Ranch because of the voracious speed and constructive inputs Stuart and Laura had in presenting our offer to the Seller, not to mention the excellent skills Stuart Lawrence had in negotiating with the seller and to their agent.Stuart and Laura went the extra mile to make sure this was the right home for me and my wife, making sure we both understood the pro and the con of the home before making a final decision.The seller accepted our (and their first) offer within hours after the home came to the market and the whole process went so quick, before other buyers even had a chance to see the home!We couldn’t be happier with this home purchase. And we couldn’t have gotten this home without the help of Laura and Stuart Lawrence, who didn’t take it as just a business but instead really took good care of us like a family –Thank you Laura and Stuart Lawrence you are the best! 5 stars....

We would like to thank Maurice for his excellent efforts on our behalf in selling our apartment. He was professional at all times, never late for an appointment and gave his time generously- even coming to see us in the evening or at a weekend. For which we are very grateful. The entente cordiale is still alive and kicking!! Merci beaucoup Susan and Colin Hill

What can I say? Richard is exceptional! He's a consummate professional, who has a powerfully nuanced understanding of the entire Sarasota/Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch/Venice market. He was very communicative and intuitive, during the entire process of helping us to find a new home. I could honestly not have asked for a better, more pleasant experience overall. And I might add, he is clever, funny and a sincere joy to be around.

Debbie was thorough, effective and professional in all aspects of the listing and sale process. We interviewed several realtors; however, Debbie distinguished herself by putting the comparable properties in context. She explained how each home in the comparable-market-analysis listing was similar or dissimilar to our home – and she had photos to support her perspectives. She had an open house for our home on the two weekend days following when our listing went “live” with an offer deadline two days later. We received multiple offers and a selling price higher than our list price. Further, the magazine-quality photos she had done, including drone views and a virtual-3D tour, were quite exceptional.

I was delighted to work with Mary, Janis, and Ron on the sale of my Sarasota home this fall, and, prior to that, on the purchase of another home in Sarasota. Though I know they have many, many clients, they were always so response that they made me feel like I was the only one they were working with each time. Having Ron's expertise as a lawyer was extremely helpful and he patiently walked me through all of the forms and contracts and explained documents in layman's terms. They responded to every text, email and question immediately. And most important, they made something that could have been stressful and emotional (selling my childhood home), joyful and even fun - they kept everything light and made me feel positive about the decisions I was making. They are extraordinary realtors and extraordinary people! I look forward to working with them again!

Matt was incredibly helpful, understanding and insightful during my search for a Florida property. He understood exactly what I was looking for and wasted no time in bringing numerous listings, any of which would have fulfilled my requirements but he also found the perfect new home for me based on the pertinent questions he asked and his ability to truly comprehend the situation. I highly recommend anyone to work with Matt.

Maurice and Lin did a fantastic job selling my mother's condo. The sale went through within a month of the listing date and everything went smoothly. Maurice and Lin went out of their way to be as helpful as possible and took care of all the details. They were very pleasant and we enjoyed them both.

This was our fourth transaction with Kristen, and as always, it went flawlessly. The listing price she suggested was right on the money thanks to her expertise. The house was sold to the first person that viewed it. Her knowledge of home construction and remodeling is a huge benefit to anyone buying or selling a home with Kristen and she can provide such insight into any issues that may arise. She has a warm and caring personality that makes her a joy to work with. Kristen was always responsive and answered any questions that arose. Bottom line is I would highly recommend Kristen and you could not find a better agent!
