It was pleasure and privilege for my wife and me to get to know Steve Strong. His manner as a real estate professional for us was next to the perfect. We have already bought two properties through his professional advice, and we never experienced anything other than truth. All recommendations or suggestions we received from him were right and very informative. I already recommended him to several of my friends in Toronto, Canada, and I have no hesitation to do it again and again.
Our family was looking for the perfect vacation property in the Sarasota area, and being from another country a little leery about what we were getting into. Upon meeting Stephen Strong, our fears and concerns were immediately put to rest. He worked patiently, honestly and pleasantly with us every step of the way. We have confidently recommended Steve to several friends now who have also shared our great experience with him.
You had a buyer in just a few weeks, which in this market was amazing! You were very professional and helped to make the transition very easy. I would not hesitate on referring business to you in the future. You were referred to me by one of my neighbors who used your services to sell her home and purchase another one, and she was very satisfied. In my profession as a mortgage lender I work with many Realtors, and I consider you one of the best!
Stephen Strong has been absolutely great to work with in our venture to relocate from Colorado to Florida. With the current market conditions, it has taken us almost a year to get our home in Colorado under contract. Throughout that time, Stephen< was sending us listings, going out and checking out homes for us, answering all of our many questions, and keeping us appraised of market conditions. A true professional –can’t say enough good things about him!
It is my pleasure to write about your professionalism, market knowledge and overall helpfulness. You were patient with us throughout the house hunting process, and never pushed us to make an impulse buy. You always stated your honest opinion and educated us about the property, the neighbourhood and gave us a true impartial opinion. Even after purchasing a property, you have been always available and ready to help whether it’s answering a question or addressing a concern.
I lost my dear mother and beloved husband last February and the decision to sell our home in Florida was a difficult one to make.Stephen was amazing, knowledgeable and kind, supporting me with the utmost of professionalism. He was there when I needed his help with questions and concerns, always looking out for my best interests. I could not have made these life changes without his assistance.Stephen was also our agent when we purchased this home and we could not have had a better advocate for our real estate needs.I would also like to thank Kate McConnell for her patience and willingness to assist with acquiring certain documents needed for the closing. It was difficult at times, to say the least.I could not have been more pleased with your dedicated staff. Your associates and staff make buying and selling a home effortless. I highly commend and recommend your real estate company. It has been a pleasure to work with Stephen.One never can plan for the future, but knowing there are people you can count on to assist in this journey, especially when buying or selling a home is wonderful.Should I or someone I know need a referral, Michael Saunders & Company will always be my first choice, for positive, successful real estate transactions.
I want to express my gratitude to Steve Strong for being patient, understanding, always replying to the questions we ask to ease our concerns and to get things done.
The experience was excellent and the service we received was unbelievable. The service we received from Mr. Strong has surpassed all expectations and my wife and I can only heap praises on Stephen’s performance. The purchase experience was painless with no issues and we were not even on site, just shows you how efficient everything went, thanks once again to Stephen as I am sure without him we would have not made the purchase.
From the first phone call, to the signing of the papers, to the picking up of my keys, Stephen Strong truly made purchasing my vacation condo a walk in the park. Since being not just an 'out of town, but out of country' client, I had numerous questions for which Stephen had all the answers. You are never out of touch with Michael Saunders & Company, especially with all their other property services too! Thanks so much for helping to make my vacation wish a dream come true!
You can truly understand the value of a Realtor after having closed on a short sale. Steve worked with my wife, Becky, and me for over a year before we finally closed on our home. He helped us prepare so that the few days we spent traveling to Florida were as efficient as possible. He is educated, competent and an excellent negotiator. You are glad he’s on your side! I would highly recommend Steve to my friends, family and anyone looking for a great Realtor.
We are so pleased with the thorough service you provided in our recent purchase. Steve Strong is very personable, knowledgeable and quick to discern what would be best for us. Steve negotiated well on our behalf. He guided us through the paperwork and setting up of a U.S. bank account. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael Saunders to anyone seeking a fine broker.
Stephen Strong did an exceptional job on working with us. He is very knowledgeable and patient. After closing he has continued to be very helpful. I have a long career in sales and marketing and would be proud to have Stephen representing my company. I hope all your agents are as good as him
Since I’ve known you over the past almost 2 years, I’ve been very impressed with your professionalism, your organizational skills and your thoroughness. I never felt being pushed or intimidated to make a decision. Most importantly, your post-purchased attitude is admirable; we have kept in touch, and you have offered your assistance for any issues which have arisen. I’ve highly recommended you to a great many of my friends, and will continue to do so.
We found you very positive and professional. Your honest and sincere opinions, as well as your excellent organizational skills impressed us. We ended up buying a house through you on our next trip down a few months later. We are very happy with our purchase that you worked on very hard. Ever since I have been recommending you to friends and family.
Steve Strong was instrumental in helping us find a house that was not only suitable, but also met all the criteria on our wish list, which was above and beyond the task at hand. I can't say enough about Steve's level of professionalism, knowledge of the market, negotiating and logistical skills, all of which were put to the test in getting us to closing on our very short deadline. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to find their ideal home.
We have no hesitation in recommending Stephen Strong's realty services to home buyers. Stephen enthusiastically assisted us in the process of finding our new home and supported us throughout every step. As first time buyers, this was a daunting task, but Stephen lead the way and was incredibly patient and committed despite several unanticipated delays we encountered throughout our closing.
My wife and I have bought and sold 13 homes all across the country, plus the home in which we are now living. Stephen Strong was by far the most professional agent we have dealt with in all the transactions. We were not familiar with real estate in the Bradenton area so we relied on Steve to find us a desirable property. He found us a winter home in just one week that was elegantly furnished, in a prime location at a reasonable price. We trusted Steve enough that we closed on the property without having to come back to Florida. During our two winters in Florida, when we needed repairs, we turned to Steve for advice on contractors. His advice was always used, and the contractor was excellent and well within our budget. Needless to say, when we decided that Florida was not for us, we turned to Steve to sell the property. Though it was past the prime season (we listed the home in late March), we closed on the property on August 15. Once again, we relied on Steve to close with us remaining in Pennsylvania. Again, his execution was flawless.
My husband and I recently purchased a property in Bradenton. Stephen Strong was highly recommended by a friend of ours, so we agreed to meet with him. I am a very challenging client, and was looking for a unique property. Stephen listened to my list of “must not have” and found us the perfect home. He continues to be a great resource, well after our closing date.
You should be proud to have your name on the door; for if Steve is the Hallmark of how the rest of the team performs, you should just jump on a jet and enjoy life as you have nothing to worry about. His handling of us as clients was nothing less than top drawer and I appreciate his professional approach, patience, and more importantly, making us feel like family. We would recommend only your firm to deal with and of course Stephen. Thanks for the great experience.
