I hired Elizabeth Gardini to sell my father’s property in Venice and could not have been more grateful for her assistance and counsel or impressed with her work ethic and performance. She was professional, knowledgable, dogged, meticulous, smart, thorough, reassuring, patient, creative, and a delight with which to work – in every way. She relentlessly attacked every obstacle thrown in our way and creatively solved problems eventuating in our ultimate success in a mere few months – all the while providing encouragement and assistance in countless ways. She was at once both a consummate realtor and a breath of fresh air.
My father had passed away, so the property was part of an estate that was complicated by five other interested but unhelpful beneficiaries. I live in Connecticut and am difficult, at best, to get a hold of around my job, health complications, and obligations with three kids – particularly while also dealing with the complement of my dad’s probate matters. We had to clean out Dad’s place, constantly address incessant questions from beneficiaries, address legal matters, find trustworthy professionals to do repairs, have work repairs done that were long overdue, and address issues pre- and post-Hurrican Irma. Throughout, Elizabeth went well beyond my expectations providing ideas, recommendations, and reassurance, creatively presenting the property, balancing offers, communicating comprehensively and proactively, solving problems as they arose with calm and finesse. She was particularly adept at tactfully, professionally, and successfully handling my high emotions and demands from potential buyers. Further, at the ultimate closing, the title company hired by the buyer to do the closing had not done due diligence and, yet again, Elizabeth stepped up above and beyond by investigating issues that arose the day before the purchase and aggressively advocating for me to the perfect resolution. The closing happened as scheduled and without any hiccups on our end, as a sole result of Elizabeth. I am convinced that without her wisdom, advocacy, tenacity, problem-solving skills, and initiative, the sale would have been delayed and likely been bumped into 2018.
I can not say enough good about Elizabeth Gardini or the Michael Saunders & Company real estate firm. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who wants to make a sale in the state of Florida. She is a gem and a thorough professional. I am grateful for her and all that she did to assist me with the sale and beyond. She is an extraordinary asset on your team.
