What do Clients Say?

I wish to convey our deepest gratitude to you and Skyler, for your very efficient and most patient guidance through the whole home purchasing process. My admiration for you is even greater when I think about how well you responded to my never ending questions, doubts, worries and freak out moments. With kind graciousness and professionalism, you never lost your cool!! You took us to the finish line, and now, looking back, I can say over and over again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

What can we say about Michele & her team but WOW!! Just WOW! We started the journey to buy our dream home on the coast of Florida over 2 years ago and that's how we met Michele. I was reluctant to ask her to show us houses knowing we would not be ready for at least 2 years and did not want to waster her time, but she treated us like we were her only clients from our first meeting. For over 2 years she would send us houses and even go and look at them for us as we were in NY. When the time came to make an offer, she was incredible. Even in this red hot market we were able to buy at $300K below asking! (unheard of in 2021) We are real estate investors so this was not our first rodeo. Actually we have done hundreds of deals and worked with hundreds of agents so when we say she was great... it should mean something! We have a perspective most don't. She was terrific during negotiations, and more importantly though the entire process of buying our dream home. Closing week and closing day was a total mess because of our lender, but Michele stayed cool and calm (not so true for us!) She was the voice of reason and stayed by our side until it was done and beyond. She even parked us outside the title company office so when the docs were in we would not miss our chance to close that day! (Which happened after 5:00) and she even had celebratory drinks ready to roll! :-) Brilliant plan by Michele or the closing would not have happened that day and would have caused a total mess for all of us, but her smart thinking under pressure made it happen. We feel like we did not just find and agent, we made a new friend and will be forever grateful to Michele and for her help in buying our dream home. If you want the best....stop reading and reach out to her ASAP, you will be so happy that you did. I know we are. Thanks Michele! See you on the water!

As a long-time resident of the planet (70+), I have lived numerous places in the US and overseas, which has necessitated many moves and accompanying real estate transactions; during all the time, I have never met an agent as effective and responsive as Michele Tanner, here in Sarasota. Her primary attribute (in addition to her in depth knowledge of local market and conditions?): she listens. When she offered her thoughts on a price for our condo, we disagreed. She didn’t argue but did further research based on our comments and we picked a better (i.e. higher) number, which we achieved. Part of this was price, but the rest was marketing: she knows the market and the video she produced made it an easy sale. She also found our new home in downtown Sarasota, and the reason she did so? Because she listened to what we wanted and found that place for us. We were spared the agony of weeks of fruitless time-wasting searches. All real estate transactions encounter their share of hiccups and ours (both buying and selling) were no exception. Michelle was right there with us as we worked through the various impediments that arose; my wife was so impressed with Michelle’s work that she announced she was going to do whatever Michelle recommended, regardless! I am not sure I would totally sign up for that but I must say she was certainly there for us through the whole process. Finally, my wife and I both agree that Michele is fundamentally a genuine person who will succeed when you succeed. She has my highest praise.
