"David and I cannot begin to express our gratefulness to you for outstanding work during these last 3 months!!! You have been a bulwark of wisdom and strength and we so appreciate you!"
We want to thank you again for your hard work on our behalf in finding, negotiating and finally closing on the property. At every step of the way you were pro-active in keeping the process moving. Although we had done a lot of internet searching before working with you, having access to your company's conference room, large screen MLS listings, and your market insights were invaluable. You just handled everything on our behalf with efficiency and professionalism.
Kristen is exceptional. Not only did she help us find the right home, she has made our experience of coming to Sarasota easier. We couldn’t have asked for more. Her special talent is allowing the buyer to go through their process as she guides with information, suggestions, and valuable insights. She is an excellent listener and we are grateful for having her as our agent.
I have had the pleasure of working jointly with Kristen in helping multiple buyers purchase their new homes. Kristen is a true professional when it comes to representing her clients during the home buying process. She stays engaged in the process from contract to closing to ensure the transaction is seamless.
Agent Kristen Srur was very professional and was able to answer questions in a timely manner. We were very satisfied with her service and appreciated the support services of your company.
I would like to highly recommend Kristen Howell Srur, Realtor from Michael Saunders & Company. My family and I used Kristen during our search for a new home when moving to the area. I have moved 10 times throughout my career and have never come across such a great realtor. Kristen is not only a local, but she is keenly in-tune with the local area, the real estate market in the greater Sarasota/Bradenton area as well as all of the schools and schools districts. Kristen is not your typical realtor, she is compassionate, dedicated and really works hard to treat your family as her own, she had our best interest at heart throughout the entire time and worked closely with our needs to find us what we are looking for. Having moved 10 times, due to work-related relocations, I have never had a move or a realtor quite like Kristen. She is simply the best, I would highly recommend Kristen for any looking to the Sarasota/Bradenton Florida area.
We hired Kristen to sell our rental home. We knew it would not (sell at asking price), but Kristen worked with us patiently, and did open houses and kept us abreast of each showing and feedback, as repetitive as it was. Because the house was not updated/remodeled it was not of the same value as other remodeled homes were priced at. We recognized it. Kristen remained patient and gave her feedback and recommendations as we all felt was required. It sold recently. We were thrilled. Kristen is extremely smart. Kristen is the consummate professional. She worked diligently for us, and is an excellent communicator. She is more than an asset to your company. She is great advertising and in our humble opinion of how a realtor should handle customers. Glowing is my word to describe Kristen. In Closing, we appreciated everything Kristen did for us. and her top-notch professionalism.
I am a veteran of many real estate transactions, and I can say without hesitation that Kristen was one of the best Realtors I have had the pleasure to work with. Her handling of a recent house sale was superlative, from the time the listing was signed until the property was successfully closed. She provided prompt and knowledgeable help at every step. I would heartily recommend Kristen for anyone contemplating a real estate sale or purchase.
Kristen was wonderful! She was extremely professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. Even though I have not purchased a home in the Sarasota area, it has nothing to do with how I was treated by Kristen. She presented me with lots of options based on my criteria, provided me with information about the communities and even took me to a golf club due to my interest. I would definitely recommend using Kristen if you are looking in the Sarasota area.
We decided that we would look for land in Sarasota and of course we decided to use Michael Saunders. We were assigned Kristen Srur and from the moment she picked us up we could tell that she had listened to our description of the areas where we wanted to own and had an in depth package of information on each piece of land. We give Kristen Srur very high marks and would unconditionally recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy in the Sarasota area.
Just a few short months ago, we decided to relocate to the Sarasota region of Florida after twenty years in Roanoke, Virginia. Family friends recommended Kristen Srur and we selected her as our real estate agent after the initial consultation. Kristen wowed us every step of the way. She attentively listened to our collective wish list and provided a solid line up of homes and neighborhoods for our condensed house hunting trip in May 2019. Her extensive knowledge of the greater Sarasota / Lakewood Ranch region was priceless. She rapidly scaled down the search based upon new information regarding our likes and dislikes noted during walkthroughs. We know she had a busy schedule, but she made us feel like her only priority for the week. It was truly impressive to watch her professionally engage with other sales agents to draw out key information that would help us make our home buying decision. Kristen knows her stuff! In addition to being our realtor, we now consider Kristen a friend. Without hesitation, we recommended her to our daughter and son-in-law. In the same rapid, yet personalized fashion, she helped them close on a home of their own. The recommendations for Kristen and your organization will keep coming as we recruit other family members and associates to this beautiful area. Thank you and thanks to your team for helping us make our relocation as seamless as possible.
Kristen Srur is the perfect match for us! I would have been floundering without her expertise. Thanks to Kristen for asking the important questions (I wouldn't have thought of) and redirecting the other Realtors, builders, designers, specialists, etc. to keep them focused on our budget. Kristen earns an A+ in my book as a buyer's agent or our Realtor! Thank you for referring her!
I have had the pleasure of working with Kristen Srur on several Real Estate transactions. Without fail she has been attentive and knowledgeable and always able to elicit expert advice. She is very good at listening to what you are asking for, and she is the perfect combination of patient and timely. I would most definitely recommend her services to anyone entering the Real Estate market, as either buyer or seller.
Dear Michael, with the extraordinary effort of Kristen Srur, my wife and I just closed on our home. I was able to get my first good night?s sleep in months. I am sure you are aware Kristen is an outstanding real estate agent. I would like you to know I feel she went above and beyond to help my family secure this home. The path here was not easy, but Kristen never hid behind her voicemail like other agents. She made herself available at all times. She was forceful when she needed to be and caring and compassionate when things looked bleak. I honestly believe, had I picked any other agent, I would have lost this home. Kristen would call every day, even if it was just to check in. She would not let a day go by without reaching out to me. I could go on and on about the great job Kristen did for us. I just wanted you to know you have an outstanding loyal employee and that is hard to come by these days. I will be doing all future business with Kristen Srur. I will also be telling everyone that will listen that she is the only real estate agent you will ever need.
Bruce and I would like to thank you once again for your superb performance as our sales agent for the rental house we owned in Sarasota. Your advice on pricing and marketing was well informed, and the speed with which you managed to attract buyers was truly amazing! You made the whole process so easy for us. We would certainly recommend you to any new customers out there who are looking for a hardworking sales agent who gets the job done fast and smoothly.
Kristen, thank you so, so, much! I don't know if I can put into words how much I appreciate all of your hard work. I can't thank you enough for your patience and understanding during this process. Having you be the calm epicenter meant so much to me. Your hard work and reliability really made a stressful situation much better and I felt comforted to know that you would respond to my emails and texts promptly. I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor and I couldn't have gotten through this without your dedication. You're the best.
I met Kristen Srur over 10 years ago when one of her customers purchased a home we had just completed West of the Trail. I was immediately struck by the professional manner in which she handled the entire process and overall knowledge of new construction. Since then, we have done several deals together and she has continued to impress me. When the need arose for a superior marketer for what would become our “model” home, there was no doubt in my mind who should handle the project. Not only did she create an entire marketing plan tailored to the benefits of new construction and the home’s design, but she also implemented a design center-like atmosphere by coordinating with other Michael Saunders & Company agents to sit the model open on a daily basis. Not surprisingly, all her dedication to this project paid off and we sold all our inventory that year. I will certainly call her again in the future.
Recently we worked with Kristen on selling our home in Bradenton. She was wonderful, extremely professional and made our lives easy having someone else take charge. It was a great experience working with her. I would highly recommend her to all my friends as well.
Thank you Kristen!!! You did an awesome job getting my house closed under the circumstances. You went above and beyond the call of duty. I really appreciate your hard work.
After a job change, my husband and I were looking for a house in the Venice/Sarasota area. We were matched with Kristen as part of a reciprocal agreement with our realtor selling our home in Fort Myers. They couldn't have come up with a better match for us! She was hard working, knowledgeable about the area, friendly and professional. Kristen found us the perfect home in Palmer Ranch, and made the experience easy and enjoyable! She was very responsive and detail oriented. We would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a home in Sarasota. Thank you!
Kristen & Priscilla, thank you both for all your help. You make such a great team. It's been a pleasure working with you. You both go over and beyond your job and expectations. You're the best.
I knew someone who needed a home quickly. I recommended them to Kristen and was glad I did - she called them with listings and information about the Sarasota area within one hour. They had many questions and she easily answered them all. Thanks Kristen!
My husband and I are in our mid-twenties, and this was our first home purchase. To say we were clueless and stressed about the entire process would be an understatement! We decided to hire Kristen, as she had just worked with my parents, Frank and Kelli Loftus. Kristen made the experience exciting, and we were completely at ease knowing that she had everything covered. We truly felt as though she had taken us under her wing as first-time home buyers. She had done extensive research on each of the properties we wanted to look at, and she was answering our questions before we even had the chance to ask them. She stayed in constant contact with the seller and made sure that all repairs were done timely. On closing day, she also presented us with a huge housewarming basket. Kristen couldn’t have been more classy and professional, and my husband and I are so grateful for her! We’ll continue to refer her to all of our friends and family!
Kristen Srur was there for us all the way through our search for a Sarasota vacation villa. She was knowledgeable in all aspects of real property in Sarasota and never gave up in helping us wade through any obstacle that we were confronted with. Her charming demeanor kept us on track and our purchasing trek was completed from beginning to end in one month's time. She was very patient with our many questions as we sought guidance throughout the process. We cannot imagine success in our adventure without Kristen.
We wanted to tell you how much we loved working with Kristen Srur in the selling of our previous house and buying of our new one. Kristen was so professional and easy to work with. Her knowledge of the Sarasota neighborhoods we were interested in was so helpful, she quickly knew what we were drawn to with regards to home styles and neighborhoods. Kristen is an upbeat, positive person and is so easy to talk with and to be around. We felt comfortable speaking with her frankly with what we liked and didn't like. She always listened to us with regards to homes we didn't want to further pursue and was great at pointing us in the right direction for homes that would best fit our family of five. We felt these qualities were very important when you are trusting a realtor with a major life decision like finding a new home. We also appreciated that Kristen gave us good suggestions on staging and getting our previous home up for sale. She didn't insist we redecorate in order to sell our home. She knew some easy things we could do to make our home ready to show for potential buyers, making sure to highlight the best qualities of our home. We highly recommend Kristen Srur and Michael Saunders Real Estate Company to anyone who is in the market for a new home in the area. We know you will love working with Kristen as much as we did! Sincerely, Molly and Todd Eliason
I just wanted to drop a note and say what an awesome experience I had working with one of your brokers, Kristen Srur. My family has been in real estate for many years and I personally have worked with lots of real estate brokers. I have never worked with anyone like Kristen! Her attention to detail and industry knowledge was impeccable, all the comps she sent me were exactly the type of home I was looking to purchase, and then she found me a true home run with the property we ended up buying! Anytime I reached out to her she immediately responded and had an answer. Throughout the entire process, she went above and beyond right down to the closing and even assisted me with a couple of issues afterward. She is a true professional. If everyone in the business world operated the way she does, it would be a wonderful world! It was a real pleasure working with Kristen and your company. I will highly recommend her to anyone I know looking to purchase a home in the area. Thank you for a great experience!
Kristen was so helpful and insightful in identifying appropriate properties for me to view when looking to purchase a condo in the Sarasota / Bradenton area back in 2010 and helped me navigate the purchase from afar, flawlessly. Over the years since, she's helped me many times with advice, additional prospective searches, or sourcing appraisals, all knowing it was likely not going to be a big payday, if at all, for her. I can't thank her enough. She's great! and gets my highest endorsement!
We are very pleased with the work done by in guiding us in our purchase. Kristen is extremely professional, knowledgeable and focused on our needs. This is our 9th purchase, so we have some experience in working with agents, and Kristen is one of the best. We strive to pay attention to even the smallest detail so we can be a challenge to work with, but her patience and determination were most appreciated. We would be pleased to recommend her.
Dear Kristen, just a brief not to thank you again for your expert and highly professional assistance in the marketing and recent sale of my condo. I greatly appreciate how you stayed in frequent touch with me for over a year while I was getting my condo ready to be listed with you. You handled the listing process itself most efficiently and, as you and I both know, the condo sold very quickly. During the closing process, you stayed in touch with me continually with frequent and helpful updates. I have greatly admired your responsiveness, energy, tenacity and professionalism. Overall you made the selling process a very pleasant experience.
