Ratings & Reviews

Tom & Ilene Piecora

Vanessa was amazing. She is very professional and has a wonderful personality. She spent time listening to the type of home we were looking for and did a great job locating them. She arranged both in person and virtual visits as it was a 3 hour trip to our new location. Vanessa always made herself available and diligently worked at getting answers to our questions as well as pointing out potential concerns in some of the homes we saw. Additionally, she was able to recommend a lender who provided a great rate as well as an unbelievably fast approval time. We went from contract to closing in 3 weeks! We would definitely recommend Vanessa to assist you in buying or selling your next home.

Ana Villareal & Jimmy Cuellar

Our experience in securing our home has been amazing. Vanessa was very caring, reliable, and personable throughout the whole process. She helped us every step of the way! Vanessa was always available to answer our questions, and understood our needs. She was absolutely wonderful! Highly recommended.

Ray V

In addition to being extremely knowledgeable of the Florida real estate market, her professionalism, pleasant demeanor and great communication skills make Vanessa and exemplary real estate agent. We would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Elizabeth Pierce & Martin Robbins

Vanessa did a great job assisting us with selling our home and buying our villa. We were very happy with her expertise and knowledge. She was always available and went above and beyond for us.

Cindy Spears

When my husband and I decided to assist our daughter in purchasing her first home in Florida, I wanted someone that would make her feel at ease with such a big step. Also, we live in Virginia and would need to do a lot of the "legwork" virtually. I did a search and we came across Vanessa. She fit us perfectly. She was so on top of all of our long demands. She kept us up to date on what was available within our parameters. Then, when we flew down (twice),she was ready and had organized visits to numerous properties. Vanessa truly made our daughter, and us, completely at ease with finding the right place. This was not just transactional, we feel like we also made a friend. If/when we need to buy another home in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, we would look no further than her. If I could give her higher than a five star rating, I would.

Jacob Robinson

As a first time home buyer the whole process was really overwhelming. I didn’t even know where to start. But luckily I had Vanessa as my realtor. She walked me through the whole process. She was always available to show me houses or answer any questions I had. I can’t say enough good things about her. If you’re buying a home for the first time, definitely give her a call.

Helen Lisanti

From the moment I met Vanessa, I was impressed. She asked me very pertinent questions and, without being pushy, she took me to see several homes, all of which were just what I was looking for. She listened to me - unlike previous agents. She helped me negotiations a price and followed up well. She made my life much easier, as I was nervous being a single woman with no experience in purchasing a home. Her knowledge is excellent. I strongly recommend her, it was a pleasure working with her.

Lynn & John Ramsay

Vanessa was amazing to work with. We were out of the country a lot while we were buying and selling a house. Vanessa helped with everything and so much more. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Bradenton Sarasota area.

Kelly and Ken Delaney

I highly recommend Vanessa for all your real estate needs! She has now helped me purchase two homes, and both experiences were absolutely exceptional. Vanessa is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and the entire home-buying process, which made every step so much easier. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made it a pleasure to work with her, and she was always ready to answer questions or address concerns. From finding the right property to navigating negotiations and paperwork, Vanessa provided invaluable guidance and support. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, Vanessa is the perfect choice. I can’t thank her enough for making both of my home-buying experiences smooth and enjoyable!
