We planned to interview multiple agents, but after meeting her, we immediately knew she was the right choice. Selling a home can be stressful, but Laurie made the process so much easier. She was always responsive, explained everything clearly, and was a steady, reassuring presence throughout. Thanks to her expertise, we received an offer within 24 hours of listing. I can't say enough great things about Laurie. She's knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

She followed us through the entire experience and continues to be a great resource for us in our new location. She makes you feel as if you are a part of her family.

My broker did absolutely no work. I had to supply all documents, HOA docs, original survey, existing deed, title insurance, etc to buyer's attorney. My broker did nothing.

Not even an apology or thank you for the business. Find another broker.

They sold my husband and I our first house and it couldn't have gone smoother. (As smooth as first time home buying can go). If you go with this team, you won't just get a home, you'll also have made life long friends. Thank you guys for everything! I'll see you when it's time to purchase our next home!

I worked with Tara from Sandra's office and my husband and I feel truly blessed to have met her!…read moreTara is a down to earth realtor that still truly cares. She is also good people! In an area where many realtors are working part-time and do not care, Tara was available full time many times after hours when It became urgent. We were more difficult as we were 2hr time behind her. Tara was there for us every step of the way. When the bank didn't close on time, we were already traveling out, we were tired and hotels were booked and costly, Tara helped us find a wonderful place to stay. We could not have found such a dreamy beach house without Tara! Tara Rocks!!!! We consider her part of our family. P.S Sandra rocks as well, and brings an engineering background and years of expertise.

Beware of Real Estate agent Kathleen (Kathy) Louise Betancourt License # SL3178623 who is employed…read moreby Re-Max Anchor Realty located at 8379 Gasparilla Rd, Port Charlotte, Florida. As a licensed Ca. agent I provided Kathy Betancourt with two properties to list for sale. Our written agreement provided a 25% agent referral fee to me. Kathy failed to disclose she had a financial interest in the title co. that handled the escrows. I only learned of this after there were multiple problems with the escrow co. giving me inaccurate information along with repeated delays with both escrows, resulting in the buyer of one property cancelling escrow. Despite the fact I found another buyer for that 2nd property, Kathy was still paid her listing agent fee on it. KATHY BETANCOURT NEVER PAID ME MY 25% REFERRING AGENT FEE. She ignored my emails and phone calls. I contacted her real estate office and broker/owner Philip Farhat, and got nothing but the runaround and no calls back. If this agent and her office would cheat me out of a minimal agent referral fee, I shutter to think how they would treat sellers or buyers on larger scale transactions, especially ones from out of town, such as myself! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO KATHY BETANCOURT OR RE-MAX ANCHOR REALTY. THEY ARE UTTERLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISHONEST.

In July we decided we wanted to make Venice our permanent home. Jody was recommended to us in being the one to find us our perfect home. So we decided to give her a try. We were certainly not disappointed as she went above and beyond (even checked on us during Irma to make sure we were ok or needed anything) to find us exactly what we wanted in a home and we're not the easiest people to please. But she was certain and reassuring that she would find us exactly what we wanted and she delivered. We are very pleased and excited with our new home.! We would highly recommend Jody Callan to anyone who is looking for an awesome realtor/friend who gets the job done.

No reputable landlord should expect people to commit hundreds of dollars to a property they haven't been permitted to inspect. This process shifts all of the risk onto the renter while asking them to trust the company blindly. I immediately walked away and rented elsewhere. I hope they change this policy before more renters waste their time and money.

The backyard was full of needles, making it unsafe and unusable for our small children. They are also not honoring the special deal they promoted of half off the second month's rent. Instead, we are being told we will be charged a late fee if we do not pay the full amount. To make matters worse, our AC has been out since Labor Day night, and there has been no urgency in getting it repaired. We were told someone would come look at it on Friday, but that does not guarantee it will be fixed that day. Based on their track record, we are assuming we will be without AC through the weekend. We live in Florida, where the weather is hot and humid. It is so hot in the house that it is actually cooler outside. I have emailed, called, and texted multiple managers, area managers, and leasing agents, yet I have not received any responses to my concerns. I would not recommend anyone rent from this company. No matter how good their deals sound, it is not worth the hassle. I am just over a month into my lease, and I am already exhausted from all the stress this property has caused me and my family.
