Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Priscilla has been working with me since my divorce three years ago. She has been patient and compassionate; she listens, and never judges. Priscilla has not only answered all of my questions, she offers suggestions and tips that I never would have even considered. She has been generous with both her time and resources. I cannot imagine having gone through this stressful time in my life without Priscilla by my side-- she is a gem and I truly hope you recognize her as such. She is a consummate professional and there is no one that better represents Michael Saunders & Company.

Susan and Pricilla have been wonderful in both the selling of our home and finding a new one for us during these challenging times. If we could have seen into the future, we never would have chosen this time to be buying and selling. They did a great job of guiding us through this process and have come through for us through many challenges. They were patient as our minds changed and went above and beyond expectations over and over. They found a home for us in our desired neighborhood in spite of our wandering minds. I can't say enough good things about them.

When we first came to Sarasota, Susan listened to our desires and presented us with numerous options. We then decided on the location and price point based on an efficient tour with Susan. We purchased an entry-level unit in The Meadows to get our toe in the water and the transaction was smooth with great advice from Susan as to price, strategy, and competent closing assistance. When we decided to move to a larger place, Susan was ready with numerous listings at our price point and did not try to upsell us as has been done in the past elsewhere. She and Priscilla were patient, always ready with research and answers, and helped us throughout the process. We are very happy with our new quarters and Susan was helpful with recommendations for service people who could help with the usual changes required with any move. We are now in the process of finalizing the sale of our first property and Susan helped considerably in monitoring the sale and assisting with completing the sale.

I do not normally take the time to write reviews or provide feedback, however our experience with Ray so far exceeded our expectations that I feel I must let you know. We began looking for a home in late-April and were very casually looking and trying to get a sense of what was available, what we could afford, and which neighborhoods we were interested in. From the beginning, Ray was incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. As first time home buyers, it took us some time to figure out what we wanted and needed and we feel very fortunate to have had Ray helping us along the way. Despite the chaos of the housing market during the pandemic, Ray made our home buying process simple, seamless, and straightforward. During the negotiating process, Ray provided guidance and professional advice, but never pushed us or coaxed us into proceeding as he recommended. When our timeline for our purchase shifted, Ray was available whenever we needed him and gave us what felt like his undivided attention. We were successfully able to offer, negotiate, and close on our home in less than 30 days. Even after closing, when we had questions regarding our home warranty and items accidentally taken from the home by the sellers, Ray was available and willing to assist. You have a true gem in Ray.Everyone we interacted with at Michael Saunders Co. was friendly, welcoming, and committed to providing a high-quality client experience. We will not hesitate to recommend Ray Rausa and Michael Saunders Co. to our friends and family looking to purchase or sell a home in the Sarasota/Bradenton area.Olivia and Cameron

This past August I had the pleasure of purchasing a great condo with Sara’s guidance. Prompt, personable and responsive, Sara made a three-week to close transaction go smoothly. Covid notwithstanding, inspections, repairs, inventories, attorneys, condo association.... it all got done.... Thanks Sara! Brian McSweeney

Daria is a true professional before, during and after the sale. She is knowledgeable of the market, latest sales trends and pays special attention to her clients. Daria has been instrumental in the sale of our home on Siesta Key as well as a new home purchase in the Granada Neighborhood of Sarasota. If you want to get your home SOLD or make the RIGHT PURCHASE we would highly recommend Daria as your sales agent.

Susan stayed the course for the sale of our condo through a very challenging and erratic market . The first sale that fell through happened very quickly . The final sale , in the Covid environment , was much more difficult , as we had to leave for the UK before the final offer. Susan organized the move of our car and household goods to our new home.. She always kept us well informed of market conditions , viewings, offers, etc.

Suki always goes out of her way to welcome you. She’s knowledgeable and finds answers if she doesn’t know them. She’s not “pushy” or overwhelming to make a sale. A 5 star realtor.
