Wade is a great help and very professional. He is very knowledgeable. He a fantastic property manager, best money I spend all year is on Wade. He is worth every penny. I would highly recommend him for any real estate or property manager needs.

Deborah and Dick Miller were a pleasure to work with. Not only were they professional, they knew exactly what we needed for our home to sell. The MLS listing had excellent pictures and description.

The home was listed and we had an accepted offer with one week.

Great job Deb and Dick!

Steve and Katrina are top notch. My wife and I had a bad experience with our previous, I hate to say realtor. She didn’t even deserve a participation trophy. Then I met Katrina at an open house and she immediately began to restore my faith in what I expected from a true realty professional. Steve was extremely patient with us since we were buying from out of state. He went the extra mile every time to provide us detailed information, FaceTime videos, etc. We put an offer on a home that had 5 offers in one day. We did not win the first go round. Steve was persistent and encouraged us to put in a backup offer since he knew how we became attached to this particular house and we had lost out on several others in the past. Several days later the original fell through and we now have a new home in Florida. Steve spent the day with me during the inspection period which I flew down for and followed up with a walkthrough prior to closing to verify the house was not changed before we signed. I recommend Steve and Katrina to anyone buying on the west coast of Florida. I even met Steve’s daughter Nicole. She was a huge help when we found a home a little farther north in Sarasota. The entire staff @ Steve Martin Homes Group is by far the best in the industry. Wish I could give them extra stars.

Gina Morgando goes above and beyond for her clients. My husband and and I have never experienced a realtor that truly cared like Gina did. Since we were building a home, she was with us every step of the way. Whenever there were any problems, she took charge of the situation. She is an individual we will always remember. We would highly recommend her...and we have.

I am currently a California resident looking to move to Florida to retire. A friend recommended Jessica Bow. I still am thoroughly impressed with Jessica - Start to finish she was wonderful. First sending me a link to review of houses based on my criteria then to organize showings when I only had a limited time to spend and finally through the whole purchase process. She explained the area, the details of all the contracts and followed up at at every point in the process. I would STRONGLY Recommend Jessica Bow when looking to by your Dream Home!

Nicole Smith and her team are the extreme in service and knowledge of the listing and buying process. I am forever grateful with the service they provided to me as a homeowner.They spent a year educating me on my downsizing options, and helped me through the entire process of having my new home built. The VIP full-service home preparation I received to get my 30 yr old home ready to market was superb; from detailing, styling, curb appeal and the secret to making an old tile floor look amazing. This team knows how to attract buyers. When it sold, I was ready to move into my new home with ease. They do more than just hang a sign and host open houses. They care about their customers. They are easy to work with, accommodating and fun. That is why they will always be my real estate team!

How did I get a $245,000 cash offer in 8 days on a house that was maybe worth $200,000 two months earlier? As a retired Real Estate Agent, never have I seen this level of dedication to helping a customer prepare their home to put the most amount of profit in the seller’s pocket. Not only did they give me excellent advice on the improvements that I needed to make prior to listing, they invested over $5,000 of their own money to make my property shine. This was my first experience with a real estate team that has a home stylist concierge service. It was incredible! Katrina was the project manager for my tired home’s complete month-long make-over. She knew who to call for everything that needed to be done, inside and out. After all the improvements were completed and the property was cleaned spotless, Katrina staged it to perfection. Steve Martin Homes Group put $20,000 in my pocket that I likely would have never seen without their personal investment of time and money in my dated home. Now I understand what their other reviews meant that say “they go above and beyond”.

I must say that if I could give Gina more than 5 stars I would! Gina is an extremely hard worker and is worth every penny of her commission and then some! A few months back my husband and I contacted Gina to get information about the real estate market in Manatee county as we were in the process of relocating from Massachusetts. It was a dream of ours to move to Florida in order to be close to my family and to return to the Tampa Bay area where I lived in my youth. From our first contact with Gina she was extremely personable, thorough, and listened to all our needs and timeline. She spent time putting together a portfolio of homes for us to look at and helped us to narrow down the community that fit our lifestyle, budget, and commuting needs. Other real estate agents were not as responsive to us because we weren’t local, but with Gina that didn’t matter. She gave us top notch customer service by spending many hours with us over the phone, texting, and emails helping us with the relocation process. By the time we arrived in the area in person to tour homes, we felt like we had known Gina forever and that she was good friend. With Gina’s support and expert real estate knowledge we were able to find a home we loved and wanted to make an offer on during our very first home hunting trip. Gina’s expertise was invaluable during the negation process with the builder of our new home. She got us an incredible deal and managed to even get some extras thrown in. Then as the house was being finished, Gina took videos and kept an eye our property and the progress the builder was making in finishing our home. She even personally paid for an independent home inspector. Seriously, Gina went above and beyond every single step of the way. From contacting 3rd party vendors so we could get a fence installed to dealing with our community’s HOA for us and even offering to store a new refrigerator in her own garage. She also set up a long-distance closing for us so we were able to close on the house we were selling in Massachusetts the same day as we were closing on the new home. Gina made a huge lifestyle and long distance move completely stress-free. We had confidence in her every step of the way and knew we could rely on her. We strongly recommend Gina for anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in the Tampa Bay and Sarasota area. We have already recommended her to our friends and family up north who are thinking about being snow birds and looking to purchase a home. Thank you Gina for making our dream come true! You are amazing in all you do and we are honoured to now call you a friend!

With the highest respect and admiration for Dianne Anderson, I confidently recommend her for your real estate transactions. She has handled numerous homes for us in a wide price range including waterfront homes in various areas. Whether listing or selling, Dianne has the essential abilities to provide professional services including thorough market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and keen sense of space and design. Her dedication to her clients reflects her high character and standards. Dianne maintains excellent communication with her clients and offers suggestions that always were well considered and beneficial. Additionally, Dianne has a team of sub contracts to call upon for estimates and she reviews each to select the best in terms of both skill level and cost. She is very smart and savvy while always a gracious lady who has never disappointed us. My husband and I own properties in other states and countries, therefore, have vast experience with real state professionals. No one has been half of the real estate agent as Dianne Anderson. With absolute honesty, we could not recommend anyone except Dianne.

In the special time of buying our first home, we sought Wade to lead the way. Then, five years later, again to sell the home to move onto the next chapter in life. He made both selling and buying a seamless process, in which we were beyond happy with the outcome.
Wade is more than just a realtor, with the level of dedication unlike any other. Not once did I feel uneasy with a step as he was right there. Highly recommend to anyone within the area, he knows it well.

Wade is a true professional and helped our family get our dream home. Buying a house can be very stressful but Wade made it painless and smooth as possible.

Jessica was able to write up our home offer in such a way that saved us thousands of dollars! She is a true professional! I will definitely recommend her to our family and friends.

I first met and worked with Dianne 6 years ago on the buy side of waterfront property on Siesta Key. It was the best house buying experience we ever had. I am working again with Dianne on the listing side, seeking her out due to her incredible negotiation skills, professionalism, attentiveness, positive outcomes, etc. I would highly recommend Dianne as a kind, honest, hard working and extremely knowledgeable agent.

We made an offer on a home, they came back with a “we have had multiple offers, bring your biggest and best offer”. Jessica countered and we still got the house for $13K less than asking price. She did a great job!!!

Over the course of a few months, I visited the area twice and viewed many properties with Steve. Not yet finding “the one” and needing to return to California, we then used FACETIME and the trust we had in our Realtor to purchase our final retirement home. While we were still in California, Steve and Katrina watched over our purchase as if it was their own. Since we arrived in Florida, Katrina has been guiding us in many ways through the home improvement process at no charge. Actually, Steve, Katrina and their extended team have been involved in helping us in a wide variety of ways. They truly are Realtors that have your best interests in mind and continue to be there for you after they get paid.

I couldn't have chosen a harder working energetic broker. She was a pleasure to work with and always responsive to our inquiries. She helped in more ways than most brokers do, including finding repair people when needed, supplying furnishings for showings and holding open houses frequently.

It was a pleasure having Wade Ongstad as our realtor. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the local real estate market but he also went above and beyond in our search for the perfect home. As first time buyers, it can be quite intimidating! But Wade was helpful, honest and so patient with us. Even taking the time to weigh pros and cons with us as we struggled to decide between 2 houses.
Almost a year later and we could not be happier with the home Wade helped us find(and choose)! If you’re looking for a honest hard working realtor, we would 100% recommend Wade Ongstad. We will be using him for any future ventures!

The best realtor I have ever worked with! Gina's customer service is out of this world. The whole process of selling a home and building a new one is overwhelming and stressful. Gina has been there the entire time walking us through it all step by step as well as offering valuable insight to things we never would have even thought of. I wish I could give her ten stars!!!

I have worked with Wade on several projects and he's always friendly and easy to talk to. He knows his stuff and will guide you in the right direction for the property at hand.

Amazing buying and selling experience! We managed both in one month with Jessica’s help. We never felt like we didn’t know what was happening next and Jessica spent a lot of time ensuring we understood every step.

We were thrilled to find the realtor Steve Martin Smith, his wife Katrina. After interviewing several other well-known local realtors, we immediately noticed their strategy was different. Steve has incredible creativity & energy & Katrina is a decorator/stager. They have an amazing in-person AND online 'out of the box' presence (don't just take my word for it....google Steve to see more details on him & his great team...).
The condo we were selling had potential, but it was 'dated.' I'm not a decorator, but Katrina is! She recommended some minor improvements & staged the unit beautifully. Less than a week after it was listed, it sold at the price we wanted! In fact, there were TWO interested buyers, so they sold another unit in the building that had been on the market for months! In addition to being SO competent, they were also FUN. Our neighbors want to use them now and we want to stay in touch!

With 13 homes for sale in the neighborhood within a mile radius, ours sold in less than six months. We were referred by our next door neighbor who had their house listed with an agent that lived in our neighborhood. It was overpriced and languished on the market for about a year. They switched to Deb and Dick and the house sold in a couple weeks. We watched our neighbors hold open house after open house. We did not have an open house. When we first met Dick and Deb and asked what we should list for they quoted a range. When I asked in response, "What would you list for if this was your house?" Dick responded $300 less than the low ball so we listed for that price which was still $9,000 over what we paid just three years ago. We were blessed with the best buyers ever, and having been in the business for decades, Deb and Dick had a good relationship with the buyers' agents. Our house inspection was more like a family get together with the buyers' real estate agent bringing donuts and even the termite inspector joining in for coffee. Also, the trick is not to worry about selling. For the first time I did not angst over whether the house would sell, resigned to 13 For Sale signs in the near vicinity. We placed our trust in Deb and Dick Miller and the result was a happy buyer and and equally happy seller. Dick did all the worrying for us.

Our experience with Steve Martin Smith has exceeded our expectations in real estate! Works around the clock to satisfy your needs! We’ve both purchased a home and sold a home with him during the same time and it couldn’t have gone any smoother! His dedication is beyond words and we will forever use him!

Deborah and Dick Miller recently sold my townhouse for $10,200 more than the asking price in 48 hours! Their negotiations with the two prospective buyers was particularly outstanding

.This was the third real estate sale they have handled for me and they certainly made it very easy for me to cope with buyers and finalize
the transaction,some of which were complex.

I would most certainly recommend the Millers for going the extra mile
as well as well as knowing the real estate business.

Having sold several properties with the Millers, I asked them to show me a house I saw in Venice with a For Sale sign on it. Subsequently, after considerable negotiations which brought the price down considerably, I bought the house with their professional guidance and advice which saved me a great deal of money.

I recommend the Miller team for both buying and selling property,
as they are excellent negotiators and have a realistic grasp of the market.

Vanessa was very helpful in our home purchase. She knew the important features of a house that we were looking for. David was a big help when it came to answering our questions regarding the house. They are both very easy to work with.

Right from the start I was impressed by Vanessa’s professionalism. The various statistics, graphics and other visuals as well as her friendly demeanor and her knowledge of the area, made me feel very comfortable and receptive to her advice. I highly recommend her to any person wanting to buy or sell a property.

As a team they had the insight and experience to anticipate problems before they occurred...they always had our back taking the initiative to act on our behalf even when they weren’t asked...They connected us with really wonderful and professional people across a broad spectrum of needs that we had as we moved into our new home

Dianne is a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her enough. Dianne has been a customer of mine for some time (I own an IT services company) so I had already seen her communicate with her customers and had also seen her operational and organizational skills in action so I had no question as to whom I would choose to provide my real estate professional services. As a professional who lives in the customer service world, I have extremely high customer service standards and Dianne exceeded my nearly-impossible standards in every way. I've worked with various agents over the years and this is the first time I really felt that my agent listened to and heard every word I said and then followed up on every point. With experience and insight, she did not waste our time. Every showing she arranged for us was clearly thought out regarding our list of needs and scheduling issues. She was attentive, communicative, and always ready. Also, she has a hand-picked list of other related professionals who she uses and they all also demonstrated nearly the same level of customer service and attention we received with Dianne, which is hard to do. What a refreshing experience. We now live in our perfect home and I have Dianne to thank for that. If you use her as your Real Estate Professional, you will not be disappointed!

Jessica Bow was a real pleasure to work with. She proved to be very knowledgeable in the Sarasota area real estate market. Our deal was completed from listing to settlement in under 2 months. Jessica showed great communication skills while dealing with all parties involved which kept everything moving along smoothly.
I would highly recommend Jessica Bow for anyone looking for a realtor in the Sarasota County area.

1. Jessica Bow sold our home in Florida
2. I'm a 35 year veteran real estate broker/manager in New York.
I will share with you & confidently confirm that Jessica is 1 of the most honest, if not the best, professional, trust worthy, hard working & knowledgeable (too many great descriptive adjectives in mind pertaining to Jessica to list here) superb Realtors I have crossed paths in my business & personal life. Thank you Jessica for providing the ultimate in Realtor service to us.
Slavina & Lenny

My wife and I used Theresa to both buy and sell. She did an outstanding job with both! She listened to what we wanted in a home and took us around, each time refining the search by what we told her. She is a good listener and learned about our likes and dislikes. We found a great house that fit us to a tee. When marketing our townhouse, he blitzed social media and the internet. She held several Open Houses. Communication was constant and she is easy to reach by email, text or cell. She has a delightful personality and has become our friend, not just our realtor. I highly recommend Theresa without reservation!

Jessica was extremely helpful and motivated in getting my property listed, shown and sold. I had already moved out of state so her commitment to helping me find tradesman and maintain the property was a huge benefit that many other realtors don’t offer.

This husband and wife team offers it all. They are professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions that come up. The advice they gave my husband and me was spot on, and after working hard to make home improvements inside and out, we listed our house and had 5 offers in 8 days! They offered their support throughout the entire process right up to the closing. We definitely recommend choosing Dave and Vanessa Fauquier for your real estate needs!

I highly recommend Theresa for your buying and selling needs! Even with a challenging home to sell she was able to sell quickly and for the price point we had desired. She is very knowledgeable and was a huge asset when purchasing our new home. There are an overwhelming amount of agents out there these days but you won’t be disappointed when selecting Theresa for your relestate needs!

Theresa Davidson is by far the best real estate agent we have ever had the privilege of working with.
Not only is knowledgeable in every aspect of the buying procedure, but she also was able to send us in the right direction for financing and other things that helped us buy our home.
She gets it done!

Jim is an excellent agent. He really listens to understand your needs/wants when selling your home. Jim is very knowledgeable and does his research when necessary. He answers all questions and is very patient. I truly believe Jim wants what is best for his clients; it's not about him.

I sold my home and purchased another. Jim was instrumental in both transactions. When my parents were ready to move Jim assisted with both their sale and purchase which happened simultaneously. He helped them with all aspects of the transactions providing guidance and assurance along the way.

Jim is the only real estate agent I will use. I highly recommend him.

Jim is a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and energetic person. He is very good at his job. He assured me that my mother's house would have a buyer in a couple of weeks and that did happen. I was very pleased with the whole process from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Jim Mulvey for the great job he did.

My daughter and I moved from out-state, and I can't say enough great times about Jim. He is knowledgeable of the area, very personable, extremely accommodating. Jim answered every question and is well-networked with other professionals. Buying a home online 2,000 miles away, Jim made as effortless and straightforward as possible. I highly recommend him.

Jim started a process with us over a year ago to possibly buy a second home in FLA. Present;y reside in CT. He helped us tremendously to zero in on where we wanted to be and has stayed with us to our new home now being built!! He puts in whatever time and travel was needed any day. He knows the turf very well. Do not know if he could have gotten us any better deal or time frame with demand. There was very little bend.

My husband and I were looking for a winter get away. We were very confused on what, where, how much.... Jim had great advice. Took the time to show us many homes as well as the whole area while he talked about what was what. Very nice, professional, easy to get to know, a pleasure to be around. We bought, we love it, love the area.

Couldn’t ask for a better salesmen. Understands what we were looking for and that’s what he showed us. He always has time to talk to us and very understanding.

Jim helped us find our home in Florida. He was patient, professional, willing to work with our schedule and didn't waste our time showing us houses that were not right for us. I would ask for his help again.

David and Vanessa helped us sell our old home, as well as find and purchase our new home. We could not have asked for a better team to do business with. They are extremely talented and have an amazing network to help throughout the entire process. They were able to drive amazing traffic to our old house ensuring that we were able to sell in a timely manner. They were also able to help us find the perfect house for our growing family which we could not be happier in. Beyond simply helping us with the transaction they continually went above and beyond and ensured the entire time that the focus was always on finding us the perfect house for our situation and not on simply closing a transaction.

We have had the pleasure to work with Dave and Vanessa for the past 8 years. What a great team they are. The combined knowledge is wonderful and any questions we had were answered right away. They do their research on each property! We originally reached out to them in 2010 when we first moved to NJ. They were so patient with us and helped us find the perfect starter home. Our family has grown and we were ready to move to a bigger house. They walked us through all of the fine details of selling and nothing was hidden. We had to bring our kids with us when shopping for a new house and once again they were so patient. We recommend them to anyone we know who is buying/selling. They will not disappoint!

David and Vanessa were tremendous from start to finish. They took the time to understand our needs and didn't waste our time showing us things that didn't meet our must-have criteria, They were very knowledgeable of the local communities and have the closing process down pat. Their recommendations for 3rd parties were fantastic and everything that was legally allowed to be done electronically was, safely & securely.

Dianne is very professional and handled every detail of the sale of my home, which made it very easy for me.I'm very happy I had her as my agent. Rodney Champagne

Dianne is eager and genuine in her concern with helping her clients. She has helped me in every aspect of real estate from buying, selling and now managing one of my rental properties. She is by far the best I have ever encountered.

Dianne is a top notch agent in a class of her own. She was able to get us the house of our dreams, despite incredibly difficult circumstances. We had two houses for sale, both listed by her and under contract! She was able to convince the selling agent and sellers that we were closing as planned, so that the sellers were confident with our contract. She interfaced with all parties involved in the most professional manner, giving timely responses, offering assistance professionally and personally when needed and lining up any aspect of repairs. I have had numerous real estate transactions with several different agents and she surpasses all of them combined!!! She will forever be a dear friend and agent for our family!

I met Steve Martin Smith in April of 2017. Steve was very welcoming and kind to my Mom & I when we flew to florida in search of a home. Steve took us through all the Venice area homes & neighborhoods, he provided us with helpful information regarding the houses we looked at, & was able to provide us with suffiency & integrity. Although my mom & I did not find the home we were looking for, Steve told us we could come back sometime next year to look again; he told us he would be glad to help the second time around. 1 Year later in February of 2018, we flew back to Florida & once again Steve put the time & effort to work with us & guided us in finding our dream home. That same year we met his wife Katrina for the very first time & she was just as astounding as Steve. There was a house on the market right next to theirs which they both showed us they even invited us over that house in the evening for a bonfire. It was an amazing night we all made s'mores & listened to music had great conversation it was wonderful & so thoughtful of them. & the house was beautiful except unfortunately, it was lacking a few things we were looking for. Eventually, we did find a home that we purchased. Steve takes you under his wing & treats you as though you're family. Steve gives you his undivided attention; he listens to your likes & dislikes, he asks great questions, he is concerned & compassionate. He is the true definition of a realtor. Steve & his wife Katrina are professionals & fundametal people. i couldn't recommend two better people to work with. Steve & Katrina are the full package; you are not only working with realtors, you are working with family. I am so blessed & grateful to have met them & to still have them apart of my life, these two really care for all their clients.
