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.

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.

We were purchasing a home in Florida while still residing in NY. In the beginning Stan Colwell…read moreseemed very knowledgeable. Everything came to a head when we were selling the home and realized just how much Stan Colwell did NOT do for us that he was supposed to do. We put down a $10,000 deposit. We were told by another Florida realtor it was excessive and they have never heard of such a thing. I explained our credit wasn't the best and we were still told it doesn't matter - the deposit was excessive. We were told by Stan Colwell not to make a lower offer because we will "insult" the seller. The other Florida realtor said they have never heard of such a thing. We could have offered lower and it may have been accepted. Stan Colwell never showed up for the home inspection. This other realtor was appalled by this and firmly stated the realtor should always be at the home inspection. When we were selling not only was our selling realtor there but the buyers realtor and the buyers were there. I was stunned! Stan Colwell recommended a home inspector they use (SWF) who did a horrible job and even missed a broken beam which was found when we were selling. There was a garage conversion which Stan never bothered to check and see if the proper permits were obtained. We flew to Florida in November over Thanksgiving to see the property we had under contract. Stan said he was busy but would try and make time to meet us at the house!!! When he made time it was about twenty minutes and he made this very clear. My parents met Stans wife Lori at the home and she was less then pleasant to deal with. The list goes on and on. If you want someone to do the bare minimum then Stan Colwell is the realtor for you. Do your homework. Check reviews and amount of business the realtor does.
