Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Judy did an outstanding job. My sister and I needed to sell our father's house from out-of-state, and Judy went above and beyond to look after the house in our absence. She also deftly guided us through negotiations and closing. We are very grateful for her assistance and would absolutely recommend her services!

Judy was amazing to work with as our selling agent, and she was battle-tested because our waterfront house took TWO direct hits from hurricanes while it was on the market and we were 3,000 miles away. She took care of everything to help prevent damage, and after the storms had it cleaned up very quickly. She was wonderfully efficient, sharp, professional, dependable, knowledgeable, helpful and kind, even under extremely stressful conditions. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I feel very lucky to have had her on my team during such a challenging time.

Jackie Griese recently sold our home. She was very highly recommended to us, and we are very grateful for that recommendation. Her level of dedication and commitment is extraordinary. You can be assured that if Jackie Griese is your realtor you will be getting someone who is hard working, honest and extremely knowledgeable. We too, highly recommend Jackie Griese.

Jackie Griese took such good care of us throughout the purchase process. It made the “tech world” of document-signing, uploading, downloading, and e-signing less stressful knowing she was there to support us on this journey. We look forward to making this beautiful house a home and building many beautiful friendships and memories in our new environment. Thank you again, Jackie!

We met Mimi Kruk, a realtor in your Longboat Key office, approximately 3 years ago. At the time, we really did not know if, where, and what type of property we were looking for. This did not seem to deter Mimi from her willingness to help us find "our" place. Mimi showed us several houses and condominiums--both on LBK and in downtown Sarasota--to help us hone in on a specific lifestyle and vision. When we returned north, she continued to send us updates and new listings. From our first meeting through our closing, we found Mimi to be exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, honest, and great at what she does. We always believed that Mimi held our best interest top of mind. Because of her dedication, diligence, patience, and tenacity, instead of sticking to our decision to continue to rent during season, Mimi found us our "Happy Place". We closed on April 24, 2024 and plan to frequent every chance we get. In short, Mimi Kruk is a credit to Michael Sanders & Company. Regarding our specific closing experience, as an option, Mimi suggested that we work with MSC Title. We were a bit apprehensive, but we just wanted to keep things simple. Again, another great decision! For our close, we worked with Kate McConnell and Maria Wallace. Both women were very professional, pleasant, meticulous with their work. They patiently answered any and all questions we had. Our closing was seamless thanks to these ladies. We want to express our sincere thanks to Mimi, Kate, and Maria for all of their help. True professionals!

Our first transaction with Michael Saunders & Company was more than two years ago when we bought a unit at Gulf and Bay through Rudy Dudon. Rudy knew the unit, while exemplary, wasn’t really what we were looking for, but we felt we had to do something to get in the game here at Siesta Key. Rudy continued to stay in touch and continued to look for something better suited for us. Here we are in 2024 and he finally found a unit that we would like, but it was not for sale yet. He stayed on it until the timing was right, and we finally were able to close on it this past March. Beyond that, he was very instrumental in organizing the financing for us while we put our existing unit up for sale, and It did sell about 5 weeks later. We are set to close our original unit within a week. I can’t say enough about Rudy, he has been there every step of the way with his expertise in so many areas and had great suggestions in various areas that saved us a lot of money and aggravation. Anyone who is considering a real estate transaction currently is missing out if it is not through Rudy Dudon. His real estate presence and service is ever present. It’s been a pleasure and we look forward to the next adventure.

I want to thank everyone at your company for helping me sell my two lots in Port Charlotte, Florida. Sharon Rogers was so helpful and patient with me. She made sure I understood what was involved with every step of the process. I also want to make you aware that every person that she contacted to assist me was also very pleasant. Thank you from a very satisfied clien

We had the privilege of having Cheryl Torres as our realtor. In the past, we have always just gone through an attorney and tried our best to stay away from using real estate agents. We pretty much knew the community we wanted to live in and had friends in the community so getting in wasn’t a big deal. However, everyone in the community that had their house for sale was already going through an agent. One day I called Michael Saunders and asked to speak to an agent. Cheryl Torres called us and what a breath of fresh air. If we had to go with an agent, I wanted her to be it. Such positive energy and explained everything to us. Cheryl did a video walk through of two houses for us after we left town, and was honest in the house she liked best (and it was the least expensive one). After coming back to see it in person, we agreed and made an offer. The deal was closed, but Cheryl continued to help us with the walk through and the inspection, which she attended on our behalf. After the closing day, signing papers etc. she continued to help us get hooked up with getting the water and power turned on, and even went with me to do it. After all was done she continues to keep in touch with us, which we find so refreshing. Cheryl is the way realtors should be! We will always recommend her and she has changed our minds about using realtors to buy a house. Thank you for having hired Cheryl to represent Michael Saunders it says a lot about your company.

Mike Nink did an outstanding job selling my condo on Longboat Key. I’ve known Mike for years from St. Mary, Star of the Sea, Church. When it came time to list, I didn’t consider any other agent. Mike was thorough, professional and efficient. He always answered my questions promptly and provided me with the information I needed in our dynamic marketplace.When I had to abruptly fly to Ohio to help my mom after she had a bad fall, Mike became my trusted eyes and ears on the ground. He took care of any concern I had, as he carefully oversaw the condition of my place in my absence. I always knew that I was in good hands.I look forward to working with him in the purchase of my new home.

We just closed on our sale of a Harbour Isle condo, which was listed through your firm. Our brokers, Betsy Hagen and Laura Rulon, were a pleasure to deal with. They were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. They had seven months of open houses (isn’t that surprising versus a year ago), and never lost that cheerful, positive attitude. Throughout the closing process with all the inspections and repairs, they helped smooth out all the bumps. I recommend them as they are excellent representatives of your firm.
