My husband and I were looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and responsive realtor when selling…read moreour home, and Laurie exceeded every expectation. We planned to interview multiple agents, but after meeting her, we immediately knew she was the right choice. Selling a home can be stressful, but Laurie made the process so much easier. She was always responsive, explained everything clearly, and was a steady, reassuring presence throughout. Thanks to her expertise, we received an offer within 24 hours of listing. I can't say enough great things about Laurie. She's knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Sherry Thomas at KW Island Life in Venice, FL is nothing short of amazing. She has an unparalleled…read morework ethic and made me feel like her most important customer over the course of the many months I worked with her, first to find a home for my out-of-town friend relocating to this area and next to find a condo for my step-son. She was relentless in her search to find us exactly what we wanted and at a price we could afford. She never ever lost her positive attitude or her sense of humor, and all the options she showed us met our criteria size-wise, location-wise, and budget-wise. She respected our decisions always, whether it was to forgo pursuing a place for reasons we couldn't know from the pictures online, or the prices we offered the sellers, etc. She is exceedingly supportive and incredibly knowledgeable about the areas of interest to us (Sarasota, Venice, Englewood, North Port, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda). Not a phoney-baloney bone in her body and no pushy sales tactics. Without hesitation I recommend Sherry and know she will not disappoint.

Absolutely the best! I bought my home using Cathy Beckwith with Gulf Coast Realty and she did a…read morefantastic job. My uncle also used her because of our recommendation and had a very good experience. We used her again to sell our house after a couple of years when we decided to move again and truly couldn't have made a better decision to use her again. She went above and Beyond!!! We received an offer from a qualified & preapproved buyer in less than 3 weeks. After accepting the offer, the buyers got a little spooked after getting some quotes for insurance due to the home being located in a flood zone and Florida's high insurance rates and tried to renegotiate. The clients/ buyers were from another realtor, but Cathy took it upon herself to find them lower rates for the homeowners insurance in order to see that the deal did not fall through. I cannot say enough good things about her and her team. Absolutely 110% satisfied. I would recommend her to anyone. She is professional and top notch. She is a true realtor, not someone doing it part time as a hobby. She knows how to get things done and is willing to do what it takes.

If I could give zero stars, I would! This has been an absolutely awful experience with Coldwell…read moreBanker at 331 W Venice Ave, Venice, FL 34285. Where do I even begin? Our agent, Val Mallia, was completely unhelpful--no comps, no advice on pricing our listing, nothing! We aimed high, but I had to repeatedly call her just to get updates and figure out what we should be doing to get people through the door. And her phone? Always went straight to voicemail. Of course, she says, "I need to get that fixed," but it's just one excuse after another. My husband works in Naples, so we had to relocate. Val did nothing to help with extra marketing. Instead, she just sat back and waited. I had to take matters into my own hands and contact her broker. The first thing he says to me? "Well, you did sign a year agreement." Are you kidding me?! After a lot of back-and-forth, he finally agreed to let us out after six months, but now we're left with a house just sitting on the market for no reason. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone. Stay FAR AWAY from Coldwell Banker! This experience has been nothing short of a nightmare.

This sale was especially challenging since I was trying to coordinate this from out of state and was really looking for someone I could trust, From our initial conversation I knew Jean was the best agent to handle our needs. Jean was a great listener, yet asked all the right questions. She was kind yet assertive with potential buyers. She was highly knowledgeable about our local market.  Being that we were out of state, Jean went above and beyond to prepare the house for showing. We were under a tight time frame and she targeted her marketing strategy only to attract the most serious buyers. Jean was always  patient and responsive. All emails and phone calls were returned promptly.   Jean provided outstanding customer service!

My partner and I rented a home in Venice, Fl. for the months of February and March, 2025…read more Unfortunately our experience was less than we expected as the home was not ready for occupancy when we arrived on Saturday, February 1st. Because it was a Saturday the office was closed and we had to obtain our entry packet through a lock box. Our first problem was trying to enter the front door with the code we were given. The code was incorrect and we spent quite awhile trying to make it work. A phone call to Horse & Chaise was answered by a recording. We went around to the side and were finally able the get in using the keys. but to our dismay the paving bricks all along the side of the house were loose. An orange construction cone was on top. The pavers along the pool underneath the cage were also loose. This was a problem as our 4 and 2 year old granddaughters were coming on the 3rd. We finally got ahold of someone at Horse & Chaise on Monday but although Brian came and took pictures, it was over a week until the pavers were repaired and as we feared our granddaughters tripped and fell. It was several days until the code was changed so we could access the home through the front door. There was a CharBroil gas grill out by the pool under the cage. It did not appear it had been used in some time. It was rusty and the warmest it got was 250 degrees. We used it once after scrubbing it with a brillo pad but our food had chunks of rust and metal on it. We went to Ace Hardware and bought a small grill. Also evident was the cockroach infestation. We killed several. Finally, the bench alongside the bistro table in the Florida room was missing a support rail and was wobbly. We approached Horse & Chaise regarding some compensation for our less than satisfactory experience. We were rebuffed. Think twice about renting through Horse & Chaise.
