Michael was fantastic. After a short conversation with him, where I assured him there was no way I was buying this year, he took the time show us around Sarasota. His genuine love of the city came through immediately, and his local knowledge of the history of both Longboat and Sarasota was impressive. Listings, as little as there were, came through,gh as well as answers to questions about different condo developments. In the end, it was an off-market condo through his personal relationships that provided us with a small window to buy before it went to market. His follow-up was tremendous, whether it was getting answers from the seller or having both a plumber and electrician do some fix-up just after the home inspection. His sense of humor and candor throughout the process were welcomed by both me and my wife. In a word, Michael was GREAT. Thank you all -- Beth and I look forward to many happy years in the Sarasota/Longboat community.
