“My mother and I were extremely fortunate to have David Lovitch as our realtor! Even though the market was very slow and our house had been on the market for 4 months with another realtor, David and his team used their wisdom and experience to close on a deal in only a few weeks! David listened to our priorities and effectively took action with them in mind. The team was amazing at processing the sale, making it a stress-free experience! I highly recommend David Lovitch and his team to anyone looking to sell a home in the area! We could not have been more satisfied.”
“Philip was very professional, accommodating and understanding. Once we identified a home we liked and put an offer in, Philip guided us always and provided needed information to keep us on track. He kept the process real and with forward motion. His recommendations were wonderful. I would use Philip again in a heartbeat! Thank you Philip! --Bea”
“Lee and Lisa Mirman helped us successfully think through and negotiate our recent condominium purchase in Sarasota. Their deep knowledge of the local real estate market, and the time they take to comprehensively understand their clients' needs, sets them a league apart. This is the third property (two homes on Bird Key and now a downtown condo) we have purchased with the help and guidance of Lee and Lisa. Each was an exceptional find from a value and lifestyle perspective. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lee and Lisa to any prospective buyer or seller (we sold one house at full asking price through their efforts) of Sarasota real estate.”
“Trustworthy, professional, supportive in an emotional time. Managed expectations, good communication.”
“Larry was by far the best realtor I've worked with. I've met with a few in the past and he takes the cake. He made looking for a house feel like a fun experience instead of a cut and dry transaction. And the number of resources he had at his fingertips. I had a question/inpection request, he knew a person. I was really impressed. I am always bragging about the team I had in getting me into my house, with Larry being the ring leader.”
“Meagan jones is truly a one of a kind and anyone that has the opportunity to work with her would know she is amazing. She loves what she does and strives to meet your needs. The passion she has in unbeatable. Truly blessed to have found her and can't wait to start building with her by our side.”
“She was there with us 100% throughout the crazy experience we had with our lenders. She fought for us and helped us close on our first home. She was easy to talk to and listened to us and I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends.”
“Crysti helped me through every step of the buying process. It's a stressful situation to start with, but Crysti made it a little less stressful! She has vast knowledge of the selling/buying process, and was available to me 24/7. I highly recommend Crysti.”
“Brian was the best, he understood our needs and was knowledgeable about our limitations and how to work with them. If I had to redo it again I would work with Brian again.”
“Yandy Estrada was an excellent choice for us to help us buy our house, he helped and guided us every step of the way. Their trust and professionalism made every step of this adventure very easy. Definitely in our next investment I would choose Yandy Estrada and Rosa Leon again.”
“My experience with Agent Pronto was a very good one. The process was simple and effective. After talking to Shelby, I felt very comfortable selecting her as my Realtor. She answered all of my questions and a great professional! The whole experience was nice with is viewing several condos and villas. I would highly recommend Shelby Solley to anyone who wants an intelligent, experienced and diligent Realtor.”
“Kevin was very kind, listened, responded to all my questions, and got my house listed with beautiful pictures to show the beauty of my house. All went as smooth as possible!”
“One of the best!!”
“Please see the previous comments. Tiffany is the best and truly world class! Tiffany was so wonderful to work with. She knew everything we needed and led us through a very unusual market with results beyond our expectations! We would not have trusted anyone else and she was gracious and kind even when we may not have been. We have referred our friends to work with her, she is the best. Grateful to her and the team.”
“Larry was more than a Real Estate Agent. He was more like a Family Friend. I am truly blessed and grateful to have worked with him. My home is everything I imagined it would be.”
“Phill is very accommodating, responsive to our needs, prompt and pleasure to deal with. Phillip Bishop made our purchase easy since we didn’t know Florida laws and process. I would certainly highly recommend Phillip Bishop. Al and Branka Neuman”
“If we come back to Florida we will ask Kelly to find us a house.”
“Chad was an excellent guide to get top Dollar for my house. He was patient and calm. He knew exactly what I needed to do. He was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him! I plan to ask him to help me buy my next home! Chad did an excellent job. I trusted him completely. He sold my house for more than I thought I could get!!”
