They had us multiple offers the same day. They took us through all the offers and the pro and cons of each. It's nice because you get the Ying and yang with Ann and Nikki. Nikki is more of a risk taker and Ann is more conservative. Which is just like myself and my husband so we get to see each other views in someone else. They had two absolutely packed open houses and put amazing work into everything they did. They were always preparing a back up deal as well so we never lost momentum. I would highly recommend Ann and Nikki, they listened to what we wanted and did everything they could to make it happen.

Ann is incredible with customer service and constantly exceeds customers' expectations. She has…read morebeen in a customer service role for over 15 years in a variety of industries. I have had the privilege of knowing Ann for over 14 years. Although I have not purchased a home from Ann, I know that she will go above and beyond to get her clients the home of their dreams or sell their home, just like I've seen Ann deliver first-hand in her previous roles. She is passionate, a true go-getter, and never settles for anything but the very best. She will work magic to get her clients everything they want and more. Ann is dedicated and tenacious, energetic and fun. She is the one and only person that you want working with you on your home needs! I highly recommend Swell Homes and more importantly, I highly recommend Ann!

All I can say is that any company who literally puts clients off onto a 3rd party is not legit. The woman's last words were (paraphrasing) you are likely a bad fit for us anyway. RIDICULOUS!

Score: ZERO plus a very bad taste for realtors in general.

I would highly recommend Jason for anyone looking for a real estate professional.

His father, a serial entrepreneur, owned…read moremultiple brokerages, built new homes, and owns extensive commercial and industrial properties. His mother was also an accomplished real estate agent for many years. After attending The Ohio State University, Jason started his career in real estate by selling new construction with two different national builders over a 10-year span and amassed nearly $50 million in sales. In the early 2010s, Jason joined RE/MAX Town Center in Columbus, Ohio. Now residing in the beautiful Sarasota area, he continues to bring his positive outlook, practical sense, and tactical best practices to all things real estate.

If you're looking for a Realtor in the Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Bradenton or Palmetto area look no…read morefarther. 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.
