Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
We are based in the UK and needed a to sell an elderly relative's Sarasota home. Josie has proved herself to be more than 'just a Realtor'. Josie has an amazing depth and breadth of knowledge of Real Estate in Sarasota and her support and fantastic contacts have helped us immensely when dealing with a complicated situation. Her communication is excellent, which has been vital when dealing with the international aspect of our situation, and her response times to our enquiries have been very quick. It is obvious that Josie really cares about her clients and what is right for them, she goes 'above and beyond' in her role. I would not hesitate to recommend Josie to anyone selling or buying a house in the Sarasota area.

I first met David McHugh from the Michael Saunders Company at an open house that he was representing for a client. We informed David that we were not buyers, just looking and not ready to purchase at this time. As it turned out, we talked to David at length regarding the market, pricing inventory, etc. Being the true professional, he was willing to talk to us at length knowing that we were not buyers at that time. About 1 year later, when it was time to sell our house and select a real estate sales company to represent our and market our house, I recalled my meeting with David McHugh with the Michael Saunders Company a year earlier. I contacted David McHugh to ask if he would be interested with representing our house for sale. After we talked on the phone, he recalled our meeting from the prior year. He agreed to view our house and a discuss a marketing strategy for the home sale. Based on David’s presentation and proposal, we selected the Michael Saunders Company to represent the sale of our house in Lakewood Ranch. The logistics and sale of the property would present a unique challenge to David and the Michael Saunders company, as my wife and I would be traveling throughout the entire time the house was listed for sale. At times, we had very limited cell / WiFi service. Somehow, David made it work. David was the consummate professional throughout the entire sales process, from the listing to marketing, conducting open house and follow-up communications. This professionalism continued through purchase and sales phase to the final purchase and turnover of the property. We are highly appreciative of the effort that David McHugh and the Michael Saunders Company put into the successful marketing and sale of our house in Lakewood Ranch. We also give our strongest personal recommendation to home owners / buyers to utilize the professional services of the Michael Saunders Real Estate Company Respectfully, Jim FitzGerald

Integrity. If we had to choose a single word to describe Chris, that would be it. But he is so much more. We have bought and sold 3 homes with Chris. His knowledge of the market make him invaluable. He worked extremely hard for us; helping us to find the perfect home, selling our former home and making sure all deals went smoothly. Trustworthiness, honesty, and an understanding of the ever changing real estate market, really sets Chris and the Van Vliett team apart from all others.

We are thrilled with our new purchase in Wild Blue and appreciate all of Stacy's help to guide us through the process. Stacy is a professional and continues to go above and beyond once the transaction has closed. I trust any of our future real estate needs in the Sarasota / Lakewood Ranch area will go through Stacy.

Leah is a true professional and guided us in a direction to fit our needs and in line with the housing market. She even helped us in engaging 3rd parties such as cleaning, handyman work etc before putting our property on the market. We are very pleased with the transaction.

Best realtor I’ve used! Kathy and her husband Todd got to know me, listened, kept me informed, and worked diligently to close the sale on my home, selling the benefits rather than just depending on price. Kathy knows the market. She knows the business and has top-notch contacts for everything related, from lawyers to vendors. A+

Ingrid has helped me purchase and sell properties at Longboat Key. She is very professional and knowledgeable of the market. I would definitely reach out to her the next time I purchase or sell a property in the area.
