This office was great! They perfectly accommodated our needs for a pre closing. They communicated every step of the way with us. We want to thank the Gibson Kohl team for all the effort and support that they have offered to usi read more

This team is very professional and always goes the extra mile. I will use them again!

The buyer of our condo chose to use this company as their closer. This firm is very inefficient in their communication. I was not told that the buyer finally had their funds available and that a closing was scheduled! No one at the firm, Jennifer Elliott, Carmen Toner, nor Lauren Kohl informed me we were closing on May 6th. We were waiting for the buyer to finally get his funds from the bank EVEN THOUGH he signed a CASH TRANSACTION for the purchase. My realtor and the buyer's realtor all received a copy of the Settlement Report except me, the seller, was not included on the email. I found out we were supposed to close 1 hour before the 5:00 p.m. deadline! I was in a remote area out of state and had to drive to a town with service so I could read/examine the settlement report and closing docs. When I reached out to Lauren the next day to find out why I, as the seller, wasn't informed of the closing day, she did not apologize but merely said, "Do not call this office again!" There are many law firms, title companies, and closing offices to pick from in Sarasota. Do Not Pick This One! read more

They took my funds and three months later, my mortgage is still not satisfied. My home was in foreclosure, being auctioned off on, January 10, 2023. I was referred to a buyer and their attorney, Gibson, Kohl & Wolff P.L. did not provide me a settlement statement until the day of closing, although I repeatedly asked for it. January 6, 2023: I had a closing at Gibson, Kohl, & Wolfe P.L., the buyer and the real estate agent weren't there. I was advised by their law firm to sign a Warranty Deed, trusting them, and ultimately giving them control of the funds. I did not receive any funds at closing that I was due. The law firm chose to pay the Manatee County Clerk of Court, but not my lender. I am still in foreclosure, the mortgage has not been satisfied, but the deed to the property is in Sunstate's possession. January 9, 2023: I received a group email from Lauren Kohl (Gibson, Kohl & Wolff P.L.) 'The clerk of court has posted receipt of the funds. We are awaiting for them to cancel the sale.' March, 13, 2023: I spoke to Tiffany at Gibson, Kohl & Wolff P.L., and was told 'that there hasn't been a release yet. They are still waiting to get a payoff amount.' March 22, 2023: My mortgage payoff amount of $228,000, has not been satisfied; and I have accrued over $15,000 in fees. Sunstate has listed the house for sale for $349,000.00 even though my loan has not been paid off. Also 'Jim' James Perrone has been sharing personal information about me and saying disparaging comments and tarnishing my reputation to many of my friends and neighbors. Which is not how he first represented himself as a religious person who was dealing with a illness in a close family member, and how he would help me to get out of this situation. read more

Sellers and home buyers beware. Lots of added junk fees and do things at the very last minute. Causing serious issues for everyone. Then played the blame it on everyone else for her last minute. See other numerous past client reviews. read more

I have used Lauren Kohl for ALL of my real estate needs for years now. She and her highly qualified staff have a remarkable ability to get the transaction completed in a smooth and easy manner with great attention to detail and follow up. read more

Excellent, professional and through. Would use their services anytime and would recommend to family and friends.

Amazing group. They did a wonderful job on my last Real Estate closing and will be doing my ext one here in a few weeks.

Lauren Kohl's advice and encouragement to me in our initial consultation conflicted with her subsequent lack of actions, leaving me with the conclusion that she can be unreliable. She's ok for simple closings. Yet, it would be unwise to act solely on her legal advice, as it has proven to be rather facile, immature, and without substance. Her history is primarily that of a real estate broker. read more

Lauren Kohl and her staff are absolutely outstanding. She's helped us through two real estate deals, and has made complex processes incredibly smooth and stress-free. She has our highest recommendation! read more
