I was…read moreon the fence about selling our home in this uncertain climate but after speaking to Sarah, I realized that it was the perfect time to list our property. Her team's depth of knowledge of Southwest Florida was a huge bonus when marketing to buyers out of the area. I was absolutely thrilled with the numbers Sarah told us our house could possibly sell for and sure enough, we sold for so much more than we ever dreamed we could get for our place. Sarah was always available and responsive, and she went above and beyond what others in this area do for their clients. Her partner Ryan was available to help with referrals and assisted with staging and was there to support us with any questions we had, no matter how trivial or significant. From listing photos and 3D videos, to regular, inventive social media updates, Sarah's team made sure our house popped up on Facebook, Instagram, etc all the time. I look forward to working with Sarah as we purchase our dream home!

I had heard of Carla Nix and was informed that she had a reputation as a good and honest realtor…read more However, my recent experience was disappointing. 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.

I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision…read more I was relocating from Colorado to Florida while seven months pregnant, so I needed a realtor I could trust. Unfortunately, my experience with Sarah Lowry was incredibly disappointing and added unnecessary stress to an already overwhelming move. The first home I wanted to purchase was lost because Sarah told me the sellers wouldn't agree to my timeline. I even offered to rent out my Colorado home to accommodate them. Later, after I questioned what was happening, I found out she had never actually heard back from the sellers. Had I known that, I could have pursued the property differently. That opportunity was lost. When I asked to be released from my buyer's agreement, she refused. We eventually found another home, but I had to ask her to go view it. Throughout the transaction, I handled everything promptly--earnest money, inspection payments, paperwork--so delays were never on my end. Before making an offer, I repeatedly asked whether the pool had a heater because it was important to me. Each time, I was assured that it did. After the inspection, we discovered there was no pool heater. Instead of taking responsibility, Sarah suggested I give up my negotiated epoxy garage floors and ask for a pool heater instead--even though the mistake was hers. I refused. Installing a heater would cost me approximately $7,000. She eventually contributed $3,000 toward the mistake, while the sellers would not provide one, leaving me responsible for the remaining cost. After closing, the problems continued. Several repair items that were contractually agreed upon still had not been completed, and I constantly had to follow up for updates. I rarely received proactive communication. The final straw came when I asked for an update on the repairs and why I always had to be the one following up. Instead of addressing my concerns, Sarah told me I was being "nasty," gave me the sellers' phone number, and said I could be "rude and nasty" to them instead. That response was incredibly unprofessional. Throughout this process, I moved across the country while pregnant, purchasing a home I had never seen in person. Sarah only had to visit one property, attend one inspection, and complete one final walkthrough, yet I often felt like I was inconveniencing her simply by expecting communication and follow-through. Even after closing, she never explained how I would access my new home. I had to ask, "How do I get into my house?" She simply texted me the garage code. There was no offer to meet me, hand over keys, or make sure everything went smoothly. She also accused me of being "nasty" to the mortgage company she recommended. The reality is that the day before closing, I was unexpectedly told I needed to pay off a $60,000 car loan. Anyone facing that kind of last-minute surprise while relocating across the country would understandably be frustrated. I believe good customer service is measured by communication, accountability, and advocacy. Unfortunately, I experienced very little of any of those. Instead, I was left chasing updates, correcting mistakes, and defending myself for simply expecting the level of service that any homebuyer deserves. I cannot recommend Sarah based on my experience. Buying a home--especially from another state while pregnant--should have been exciting. Instead, it became one of the most stressful experiences I've ever had because I never felt supported or represented.

Ken is a fantastic realtor. We are from Indiana and plan to move to Florida when we retire. We…read morehad been looking to purchase a house in Punta Gorda for almost two years. On our last trip to Punta Gorda in November, we finally purchased our house thanks to Ken. Ken responded quickly to all of our requests to see homes since we were under a one week timeline to look at homes. After showing us a couple of homes that we requested to see, he listened to what was most important in our search, and was able to show us a couple of homes that he thought would be most suitable. We narrowed down the search, and found a couple more homes that we thought might work. He obviously knew we wouldn't like those homes, but he didn't say anything and took us to those homes. We spent less than 5 minutes in the homes we picked to view. He was exactly right! We ended up picking a home he found for us. He helped us negotiate a very good price for the home. He will work to get you the best deal. We are very happy with our home! Ken Williams is excellent! One more caveat is that we won't be ready to retire for 4 years. We are renting this home through a manager he recommended, Libbie Scherer. She has been amazing. We closed on the house just before Christmas, and by February we will have a renter. She has done all the leg work efficiently and at a fair price. All the prep to get the house ready to rent has been done. These two individuals work out of 5 Star Realty. Couldn't recommend them higher.

After we signed the Listing Agreement, Lesley and her team immediately went to work listing our house. Unlike most realtors that only use one or no MLS applications, Lesley is a member of several MLS services that she uses in marketing your house. One of these MLS services is one of the largest MLS's in the world and holds the prestigious title of the fastest-growing MLS in North America. During the time our house was listed Lesley was always in contact giving us updates. During the 60 days our house was on the market we had several offers in which Lesley would coordinate counteroffers back and forth. With that, she would provide negotiation strategies during negotiations. Having been a buyer and subcontract manager for a major Defense Contractor for almost 40 years I have had a vast amount of negotiation experience. I could tell Lesley has had a lot of experience in negotiations and does it incredibly well. When we finally agreed upon a contract Lesley and her team made the whole process for us as easy as possible. Lesley sold our house in 60 days and we received our full listing price. In summary, the following words explain Lesley and her team: Prepared, Efficient, Tremendous Marketing, Fantastic Communication, Exceptional Negotiation Skills, and above all else a Vast Knowledge of the Real Estate Market.
