.Our purchase was one of destiny. We were spending 2 weeks on Siesta Key after the hurricane and were intent on spending at least one week on beach time and dedicating several days toward looking for a condo we would rent out. At the end of the first week, we met a couple at a Temple Sinai Friday night service and we told them of our plan. They invited us to their home, and we were quite taken with it, so we asked them for the name of their real estate agent as they had been quite satisfied with him and the whole experience he had guided them through 2 years previously. They gave me Larry Kushing's name and number, and we called him and left a voicemail -- He returned our call within 5 minutes. We told him of our interest in The Cascades and asked what was available. There were 2 houses available for us to see, and by that evening, he had set up an appointment for us to see them the very next day. The first was not appealing at all, but the 2nd we immediately fell in love with. We talked it over and he advised us about making a bid as we have lived in our other house for 54 years and are not acquainted with how things are done now. We did all the paperwork by e-signing as we had left Sarasota as planned approximately 7 days after initially seeing the house. He has kept us aware almost daily of what has been going on. He has served as our proxy making many trips to the house to make sure movers moved the previous owner out. He has met with plumbers and handymen and essentially been us as we could not be there. We have repeatedly said that we were truly blessed to have been introduced to Larry Cushing. He is a professional. He has treated us over the years as family. The deal is done, but it is and has not been the end for Larry Cushing, God bless him. We are looking forward to our new life in The Cascades and will certainly pass Larry Cushing along to the next lucky prospective home buyer we may be introduced to

We just recently closed on our home, and we are so blessed and grateful to have met Linda Driggs. Linda exceeded all our expectations in every way. She is bright, knowledgeable, responsive, perceptive; she hears what’s important to us and most definitely has the customer gene! When there were challenges at the time of closing, Linda took a personal interest and helped troubleshoot the issues and provided us with guidance. That meant everything to us. We are lucky to know and work with her. We have already referred friends to Michael Saunders and to Linda specifically. Thank you, Linda, for all that you do for your clients!

I recently bought and sold my homes with Janet. She is an outstanding agent who is very patient, thorough, and very knowledgeable regarding the area and housing in general. She is interested in making sure her clients are getting what "they need" and always has the best interests of her clients in mind. With the additional challenges of Hurricane Ian, I never felt rushed or uninformed of the process along the way. I have already recommended Janet to other people and will continue to do so in the future. Additionally, the office staff that assisted with both my purchase and sale was pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable, making my overall experience seamless and stress-free. I would be happy to do business with Janet and Michael Saunders again in the future.

Cindy Fischer, has provided stellar real estate sales experience and professionalism. Cindy has been our agent on two occasions, and we will certainly agree to work with her on the sale of future real estate. Cindy goes beyond when it comes to service. Her communication is quick, thorough, patient, and collaborative. She advises with knowledge of the market and our needs. Her attention to detail has helped present our homes in the best light—bringing some of her own plants, mirrors, outdoor table and chairs to highlight specific spaces. She arrives before a showing to make sure all is in order. Her knowledge of how to price a home has benefited us tremendously, allowing us to see multiple bids and receive offers exceeding the asking price. She has a sense of the market and what will sell and for what price. Cindy engaged your agent, Angela Scott, to assist with the sale of one of our homes. What a wonderful team we had. They are a powerful duo! Angela was also a great communicator, stager and helped us to understand the offers and choose what worked for us. Angela also arrived before showings and made sure all was in order. Both Angela and Cindy delivered exceptional service and professionalism. It's not often that you have the opportunity to write about an exceptional experience. We are highly appreciative and so happy to know both Cindy and Angela.

Words cannot adequately express how grateful and appreciative we are that we had Sharon as our realtor. She started out as our realtor but soon became a dear friend. She went above and beyond the scope of a realtor and worked tirelessly for 7 months to get our house sold. There were so many ups and downs, highs and lows, and good news and bad news reports throughout this process that our heads were spinning. But Sharon would continually keep us up to date with the latest information and steady our frayed nerves. She had our backs every step of the way, making sure that we were taken care of and that we weren't taken advantage of in this crazy market that we found ourselves in. To say that Sharon was the best realtor that we've ever had (and this is our third house to sell) is an understatement! She was caring, knowledgeable, resourceful, kind, and tough when she needed to be. Sharon loved our home, and we knew that she would sell it just because she spoke so highly of it. We highly, highly recommend Sharon to anyone who is looking to sell their home in these wild times in the real estate world we now live in. Thank you, Sharon and Michael Saunders, for all your care and support of us while we were in this hard situation of needing to sell our home quickly.

I wanted to pass along what an absolute pleasure it was to work with BiBi-Ann in the purchase of our condo. It may be of interest to know, from our perspective, she seemed to know more about the listing than the seller’s agent, which seemed surprising, but a bonus for us nonetheless! From the first showing through the contract meeting to the inspection straight through to the closing, BiBi was there to help us navigate the biggest purchase of our lives, so for that we are ever so grateful and will absolutely pass her info along to anyone we know who may be in the market!
