Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
We have used Doug Parks for our last several real estate transactions (both buying and selling) and would never consider using anyone else - why would we? On this last transaction, we agreed on a price $60,000 more than a near identical condo adjacent to us on the same floor which had closed just days earlier. We had a contract in 24 hours at more than our asking price. Doug is a true professional who knows people and the market and has the temperament to make every transaction go smoothly and always to a successful conclusion. Doug is also a very good friend who always stays in touch after every transaction. Michael Saunders is very lucky to have him as an agent representing your company.

Doug Parks is a consumate professional. He has excellent market knowledge. But more importantly to me than that is that Doug is a sincere, trusting, and very nice person. I consider myself extremely lucky that the first real estate sign I called on down in Lido about 6 years ago was one of Doug's listings. I have, and will continue to refer Doug to anyone I know who has real estate needs in his marketplace! 5 Stars for Doug all the way!

Earlier this year, we lost both parents, and quickly found ourselves in the middle of an estate issue. The property needed work, and with us still in SE Michigan, we did not know where to turn. One of the residents of their building suggested we call Doug, and it turned out to be the best move we could have made. After speaking with Doug for a few minutes, if felt like we had known him for years. Any issue that came up, Doug had an answer, and steered us in the right direction. In a remarkable about of time, the property had been emptied, repaired, carpeted and painted. Doug also found a buyer for us, and got the best possible price for this property. Our collective family is grateful to Doug for his help and understanding. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Sarasota area. Thank you again for all of our help.

Laura and I have worked with Doug on three transactions within the last year and a half and have benefitted greatly by his knowledge,contacts and hands on style. Our first transaction was a very detailed process with a very short window for providing information and closing. Without a doubt, Doug's tenacity was the only reason we were able to meet all obligations and deadlines. Only a few other agents could have successfuly navigated the waters. The next two transactions required other skill sets and were handled exceptionally smoothly. We highly recommend Doug and his staff and know all clients will also receive the very best service in Sarasota.

We recently purchased a condo at the St Armand's Towers. Doug was our realtor and the entire process was very professional, while also being friendly and enjoyable. He was patient with our many questions and helpful as he guided us through the purchase, making it hassle-free. We would highly recommend Doug to anyone and feel we have a new friend on Lido Key.

It was a pleasure utilizing Doug and The Michael Saunders Co. for our search in the Sarasota beach area. He was very intune with the market and the associated building details on all the condo's in the area. His personal knowledge helped us find what we believe is the best building " St. Armands Tower South " which we now currently own. We presently reside in NJ, Doug made this long distance transaction very comfortable for us as we were able to go through most of the entire process including the closing without having to fly back n forth multiple times which helped to save us considerable travel dollars. We would most certainly use Doug for all future purchases in the area's that he covers. 5 Star Rating...
