Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
My wife, Cheryl, and I recently completed the sale of our home in University Park Country Club and purchased a new home in the Esplanade in Lakewood Ranch. We had spent twenty years in our UPCC home after moving every 2-3 years during the previous 30 years. Bernadette Caswell and Linda Driggs worked with us to sell and Bernadette worked on the new purchase. Even with the vast experience of the prior moves, Cheryl and I were very apprehensive about moving after twenty years. I am writing to let you know that Bernadette and Linda were superb throughout the process and we could not have been more pleased with the results. They were tenacious, thoughtful, creative and more than met all our expectations. The UPCC home was not an easy sell and we needed more than a little bit of luck. But their response was fantastic when the opportunity presented itself. We very much appreciate them and your entire organization for a good experience.

Exceptional professional service is rare. We were fortunate to have experienced this rarity while working with Bernadette Caswell. She took charge of a desperate situation (we were the desperate situation) with total infectious confidence. There never was a misstep, hick-up or unanticipated event that Bernadette embraced with anything but aplomb. Her experience and straightforward demeanor places her into a class of her own. Thank you for the opportunity to have worked with Bernadette Caswell, The Exceptional Professional.

Thank you so much for all of the time and effort spent to complete the sale of our condo #702 at Blackburn Harbor. The transformation of our original condo into the showplace it became, through your furniture and decorating choices, made it easy for the new owners to choose our old condo for their new home. We sincerely are grateful to the time and care you provide to all of your clients. We've never met a better realtor. Thank you for your friendship.

Bernadette, Has been doing a great job marketing my house. My wife and I are up north for a period of time and she makes sure that the place stays in good condition for sale. We feel confident that there will be a good result even during the time that the snowbirds are not here and it is difficult for buyers to make the effort during the summer heat. We see the effort in emphasizing the best points of our property and believe we made we the best choice for our realtor.

We were delighted with the service we recieved from Bernadette Caswell. The way she presented and marketed our condominium resulted in a relatively quick sale at a very acceptable price. We would not hesitate to recommend Bernadette and your company to anyone looking to sell their property.

We would like to compliment the great service provided by Linda Driggs and Bernadette Caswell of Michael Saunders. Over the years my wife and I have purchased and sold over a dozen homes. The duo of Linda Driggs and Bernadette Caswell were the best agents we have worked with. They were professional and personable, providing us with the right information and keeping us apprised of developments on a timely basis. Bernadette went beyond our expectations with her active role in selling excess furniture and with her help with the utilities. Clients selecting this team will be pleased with the experience.

Bernadette, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the amazing job you did as the real estate agent that sold us our home. I have never met or worked with a real estate agent that was as personable and professional as you are! Buying or selling a home is a very stressful experience, you made it so much easier and even pleasant. David and I trusted you and found that you made sure we were making all the right decisions as it pertained to our purchase and future home. Even after the sale you contacted us with a very handy list of services with contact names and phone numbers and answered any questions we had about the home. It was obvious that you really cared that we bought the right home, for the right price, and were happy even months after moving in. Words to describe your service and support: Professional, Personable, Honest, Knowledgeable, Understood every detail of the home to include appliances, lighting, air conditioning, pool controls, etc., Quick response time, Resourceful. If and when David and I decide to sell our home you will be the first and only person we would think of listing it with!

Over the years, I have bought and sold many different properties that involved a real estate agent. That being said, I am pleased to report that Bernadette Caswell is the most exceptional agent we have ever engaged. She is thorough, knowledgeable and diligent. She went the extra mile for us in preparing our condominium for sale, vetting potential buyers, and helping us sort out furniture. Michael Saunders & Company is very fortunate to have her as one of your agents. For any of our future real estate transactions, you can be assured we will select Michael Saunders and Bernadette Caswell.
