Born in Kansas and raised on Florida's Suncoast, Shane has called Sarasota home for virtually his entire life. Before real estate, he spent more than 30 years in technology and operations leadership, managing teams and systems across thousands of employees for some of the country's largest organizations. That background shapes everything about how he works: detail-oriented, process-driven, and calm under pressure from first conversation to closing table. Shane holds ABR and CWS designations and brings deep local knowledge to every transaction, whether that's a waterfront condo on Siesta Key, a luxury residence in Downtown Sarasota, or a coastal property anywhere along the Suncoast. His approach is straightforward: clear communication, honest guidance, and a relentless focus on his clients' best interests. Outside of real estate, Shane is a Boston Marathon finisher and Ironman triathlete. He lives in Sarasota with his wife Christie, and together they have four children and five grandchildren. Straight talk, deep local knowledge, and a process that actually works.

Kiley Riccardi (Eastman), as well as, the entire Michael Saunders & Company team are true professionals. Bottom line up-front: Kiley was born and raised in this area. She is not a transplant like most of us. She went to school here and is a true native of this area. That makes her an area expert, skilled in the local real estate market. How did we meet Kiley? Well, my wife and I saw a home online and took a drive to the property. After seeing the outside, we wanted a showing that day. We called Kiley's office and she and her fiancé were actually on their way to Orlando for a weekend getaway. She turned around and met us at the property. That's what we call duty-first selfless service! We didn't end up purchasing that particular home but we did immediately hire Kiley. We are very picky and detail-oriented. We were looking for a homestead type property with many "must haves". Not a simple task by any standard. Kiley took the time to listen to and understand our wants and needs. Kiley did not waste our time. She got right to work and selected a few properties that fit the bill and scheduled showings immediately. She was spot on with the properties she showed us. Needless to say, we put in an offer in the first few days on what has become our dream homestead. Kiley negotiated us a fantastic deal and then took over the entire process to closing. She took away the typical worry and headaches that come with home buying. Kiley put the process on cruise control for us. Simply Amazing! We got a detail-oriented hands-on agent that provided a stress-free transaction from beginning to end. Kiley communicated every aspect of the purchase, answered all our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. It couldn't have been any easier. Here is what you're not getting with Kiley. You're not getting a part-timer that has another job. You're not getting a start-up inexperienced real estate agent. You're not getting a realtor at the back end of their career. What you are getting is a highly experienced local area realtor in the prime of her profession that lives and breathes real estate. Not to mention that Kiley is high-tech. With her skills of email, text, skype, facetime, and electronic document signings etc... we could have been in China and she would have effortlessly got us to the closing table. We are not ones who typically write reviews. But in this case we felt compelled to acknowledge the exceptionable competency and professionalism of the service Kiley provided us. There is no doubt we were in good hands from start to finish. If you're like us and just want results then Kiley is for you. Don't waste your time shopping real estate agents in this area. Kiley is a full-service real estate agent that knows this area and market better than most. If you need to interview a few real estate agents then do so, but do include Kiley. Kiley easily get 5 Stars from us and rate her best in this area. As a matter of fact, we rate her the best we ever had. Give her a call. You won't be disappointed.

They both came to the house and moved a few pieces around and Voila!, the presentation was beautiful with no fee from a stager. They returned calls quickly, handled everything for us.

Can't say enough good things about these two.

We submitted A full asking price CASH offer on Saturday morning, requesting a response by 5 PM on Sunday evening. Unfortunately, Sunday evening, passed without any response, even after our realtor reached out to her at 7 PM. I forgot to mention she changed the wording on Zillow AFTER we submitted our offer. This morning, we checked Zillow and found the property marked as PENDING. I believe that a truly ethical & professional realtor would have informed our realtor of any higher offers and given us the opportunity to adjust our bid accordingly. I suppose we will find out after the sale is finalized how much it sold for and to whom. While, I'm not making accusations, the circumstances of an agreement made on a Sunday night do seem questionable.
