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.

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.

Worst real estate company. I was helping my mother-in-law purchase her dream home in Florida…read more Unfortunately, the agent we used ( Angie Moulton) was not in it for us. She was all for the seller, very pushy and quite frankly rude. I would never recommend her to anyone not even my enemy. She threatened that the seller was going to walk away from a deal if we didn't reply within hours of her correspondence. She will not respect your rights nor law and will not keep her promises, she lies to the clients and on top of that, she has made so many professional mistakes in our case. She wasn't able to answer any question unless she's on the conference call with her broker Kathy Damewood who is also a sellers agent. And Kathy Damewood is even worse, she was not even supposed to have any conversation with us as she represented seller. I will take this further to National Association of Realtors for violating code of ethics. I will also file a complaint with Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Please do your research prior to dealing with this real estate agency.
