Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
I’m writing to you to compliment you on the relationship that we developed with Laura and Stuart Lawrence at your Lakewood Ranch location. Both Laura and Stuart were very helpful in assisting us along the way of our new construction at The Isles at Lakewood Ranch. As you know, no new construction comes without hiccups, and they were both very attentive and kept my wife Barbara and I “sane” throughout the process. As remote buyers caught in the COVID-19 situation, Laura took weekly pictures of our home and was always there to answer questions and get us the updates we needed. As a long time salesperson myself, they should be considered great team members.

My wife and I recently purchased a home in the Arbor Grande community with the assistance of your sales associate J.J. Williams. I am writing to express our appreciation for her knowledge, professionalism, and personality. Ms. Williams helped us understand the unique qualities of the many different villages in Lakewood Ranch. She listened to our needs and preferences and helped us find the perfect match. We love our new home and community because of JJ’s ability to connect with us. She made us feel valued and special. We purchased a newly constructed home and JJ maintained her connection to us throughout a process made more difficult due to COVID-19. She consistently checked in with us and helped us deal with every issue. Of course, one would expect this of any professional realtor, but JJ Williams went above and beyond our expectations because of her genuine concern and gracious personality. We knew she was our advocate and that we could rely on her when challenges occurred. By the end of our process, we truly felt like JJ was a trusted friend we could call on for anything we needed. We will recommend JJ Williams to all our friends and family. She is a talented and special person. Thank you for the opportunity to sing her praises.

It is with great pleasure that we are sending you our feedback on the recent purchase of our home at Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice. Our agent was Troy Haynes. He was very knowledgeable and extremely informative throughout the entire process. We began our search in February 2020. As you might imagine once the pandemic struck in March, most things were put on hold. Troy and I continued correspondence on homes through April. He was always responsive to my questions, very honest and respectful. During the closing process, he demonstrated detailed knowledge of the entire process and made my wife and I feel at ease. We highly recommend Troy to anyone doing a real estate search. Thank you for the opportunity to acknowledge his hard work.

We chose Michael Saunders & Company purely on reputation and reviews. We made contact with Thomas Arthur and he immediately went to work for us after gathering information on the type of property we were interested in purchasing. We ended up changing our criteria several times, however Thomas stuck with us every step of the way. Gran Paradiso was the second property he showed us and we decided quickly on the home we wanted. Thomas recommended we go to lunch and discuss the property. We were looking at the lot where the home would be built. Thomas helped us answer questions on location, features of the home, taxes, HOA, etc. We knew a decision needed to be made quickly as it was the last water view lot available for our size home. We decided to move forward and returned to the Lennar office to discuss price and potential upgrades. Thomas made sure we were getting the best deal possible. We settled on the total purchase price with upgrades and made a deposit. Although the building of our home was delayed a couple of months, we stayed in contact with Thomas for continued updates. Thomas was with us for our walkthrough, post discussion and closing. The rest is history in our new home at Gran Paradiso. We could not be more pleased with having Thomas by our side for this major transaction and relocation to a new state. His experience as a Florida resident himself was invaluable. We gained a realtor and someone we refer to as a friend.

Our shopping for a Florida home has been ongoing for several years, however we first contacted Audrey in January of this year. After numerous emails, texts and phone calls we finally met face to face. Audrey was instrumental in helping us locate a hotel that was fairly central to the areas we were focusing our house search. She provided a map and suggestions for dining as we had not spent any considerable time in this part of Florida. True to her word, Audrey arranged her schedule to accommodate our limited time. She was organized and provided most of the details for the communities we were considering. Information she did not know she found for us in a timely manner. The whirlwind house shopping was fun, exciting, and exhausting. We would do it all over again with Audrey. She is easy going, tolerant of my incessant questioning, has great follow through and truly became a friend in the time we were with her. She continues to show concern regarding our plans to visit as we have not been able to travel to Florida since the pandemic has shut down many states. We are looking forward to traveling south soon so we can set up our household in Florida and visiting with Audrey and her associate.

When we first walked in Philip’s office almost two years ago, we knew he was the one who was going to find us a perfect retirement home. His positive attitude and sense of humor made the whole process an enjoyable experience for us. He provided us with an overview of the many neighborhoods in Sarasota, highlighting those neighborhoods which were suited to our needs and preferences. During the process, he remained actively in contact with us, sending us listings and information about each potential home. When we asked him for information regarding a specific listing, in a matter of minutes we had the information in our hands. In the end, he found the perfect home for our family. He is a great realtor and we will continue to refer our family and friends to Philip because of his knowledge of the Sarasota area, his thoughtfulness in understanding individual preferences, his patience in finding a perfect home, his flexibility in always being available, and his diligence in ensuring everything was in order prior to the closing. Philip is definitely the best of the best!

Paco and I are beyond amazed, thrilled and excited on the effectiveness and professionalism of Team DelMonte on our recent home sale. FOUR DAYS? Yes! In only 4 days! Our son contacted Sara Del Monte, congratulating her on her Agent license and joining Michael Saunders, that is when the idea on selling our home came about. Sara and Christine DelMonte with their market knowledge, created a strategy, then staging, marketing, and photo shoot. Their passion on everything they do was so contagious, we followed exactly and quickly little things that needed be done and Voila, multiple offers and a 98% negotiated sale of listed price. Thank you for always being available, blessings and continue to bring your honesty and heart in all you do, that makes the difference. Clara and Paco

Jackie worked very hard for us and gave us good advice. We managed to sell our house in the midst of the Corona pandemic with her help

When we 1st met with Barbara she came in with a sparkling personality that made us feel like we had known her our whole lives. Respectful to all members of our family that she came in contact with. She provided a thorough explanation of what should be expected from start to finish. Her attentiveness to every detail ensured that a smooth transaction would take place. Emails, phone calls, and text were promptly returned with a well-educated answer to our questions and concerns. We always felt that she was there to ensure that the best results were attained vs just selling our home. During the process, we purchased a new home and had the pleasure of seeing Barbara work both sides at the same time. Not once did she falter during transactions. We were blessed not just to have met a realtor but to have made a friend.

Jackie was wonderful to work with. She was creative and her enthusiasm never failed. She always returned phone calls and texts promptly and sent feedback on the status of our home weekly. We cannot recommend her more highly.
