From the owner: Jason Baker grew up in a lifelong real estate family. His father, a serial entrepreneur, owned…read moremultiple brokerages, built new homes, and owns extensive commercial and industrial properties. His mother was also an accomplished real estate agent for many years. After attending The Ohio State University, Jason started his career in real estate by selling new construction with two different national builders over a 10-year span and amassed nearly $50 million in sales. In the early 2010s, Jason joined RE/MAX Town Center in Columbus, Ohio. Now residing in the beautiful Sarasota area, he continues to bring his positive outlook, practical sense, and tactical best practices to all things real estate. He thrives on his relationships and prides himself on doing his business with integrity. During the real economic crash in 2008, Jason dedicated several years thereafter expanding his knowledge of construction, working for the largest national insurance restoration company. There he was trained in many areas, but not limited to: fire damage restoration, water damage assessment, mold remediation, and lead and asbestos remediation. Today, Jason has the eye of an inspector and the knowledge of a construction professional – making the path to any type of ownership more informed and with guaranteed peace of mind.

From the owner: Shane Lewis is a Sarasota Realtor with Michael Saunders & Company, serving buyers and sellers…read moreacross Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota, and the surrounding coastal communities. Born in Kansas and raised on Florida's Suncoast, Shane has called Sarasota home for virtually his entire life. Before real estate, he spent more than 30 years in technology and operations leadership, managing teams and systems across thousands of employees for some of the country's largest organizations. That background shapes everything about how he works: detail-oriented, process-driven, and calm under pressure from first conversation to closing table. Shane holds ABR and CWS designations and brings deep local knowledge to every transaction, whether that's a waterfront condo on Siesta Key, a luxury residence in Downtown Sarasota, or a coastal property anywhere along the Suncoast. His approach is straightforward: clear communication, honest guidance, and a relentless focus on his clients' best interests. Outside of real estate, Shane is a Boston Marathon finisher and Ironman triathlete. He lives in Sarasota with his wife Christie, and together they have four children and five grandchildren. Straight talk, deep local knowledge, and a process that actually works.

Kiley Riccardi (Eastman), as well as, the entire Michael Saunders & Company team are true professionals. Bottom line up-front: Kiley was born and raised in this area. She is not a transplant like most of us. She went to school here and is a true native of this area. That makes her an area expert, skilled in the local real estate market. How did we meet Kiley? Well, my wife and I saw a home online and took a drive to the property. After seeing the outside, we wanted a showing that day. We called Kiley's office and she and her fiancé were actually on their way to Orlando for a weekend getaway. She turned around and met us at the property. That's what we call duty-first selfless service! We didn't end up purchasing that particular home but we did immediately hire Kiley. We are very picky and detail-oriented. We were looking for a homestead type property with many "must haves". Not a simple task by any standard. Kiley took the time to listen to and understand our wants and needs. Kiley did not waste our time. She got right to work and selected a few properties that fit the bill and scheduled showings immediately. She was spot on with the properties she showed us. Needless to say, we put in an offer in the first few days on what has become our dream homestead. Kiley negotiated us a fantastic deal and then took over the entire process to closing. She took away the typical worry and headaches that come with home buying. Kiley put the process on cruise control for us. Simply Amazing! We got a detail-oriented hands-on agent that provided a stress-free transaction from beginning to end. Kiley communicated every aspect of the purchase, answered all our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. It couldn't have been any easier. Here is what you're not getting with Kiley. You're not getting a part-timer that has another job. You're not getting a start-up inexperienced real estate agent. You're not getting a realtor at the back end of their career. What you are getting is a highly experienced local area realtor in the prime of her profession that lives and breathes real estate. Not to mention that Kiley is high-tech. With her skills of email, text, skype, facetime, and electronic document signings etc... we could have been in China and she would have effortlessly got us to the closing table. We are not ones who typically write reviews. But in this case we felt compelled to acknowledge the exceptionable competency and professionalism of the service Kiley provided us. There is no doubt we were in good hands from start to finish. If you're like us and just want results then Kiley is for you. Don't waste your time shopping real estate agents in this area. Kiley is a full-service real estate agent that knows this area and market better than most. If you need to interview a few real estate agents then do so, but do include Kiley. Kiley easily get 5 Stars from us and rate her best in this area. As a matter of fact, we rate her the best we ever had. Give her a call. You won't be disappointed.

I had many questions, concerns, and emotional ups and downs orchestrating a move while living in Chicago. Courtney always offered options, encouragement and opinions when I asked for them. She responded to all of my texts, emails, and calls quickly. She and Michael took SO many extra steps in assisting us in purchasing a home. We ultimately decided new home construction was the right decision for our situation and I am so grateful that we had Courtney and Michael "on our side". New home builders offer knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly sales representatives. However, the sales representatives work for the builder, not the buyer. Courtney and Michael did an outstanding job as our representatives! They have a great working rapport with all of the new home builders and extensive knowledge in how the entire process works. Having your own Realtor when buying new construction is crucial whether you live local or several states away. We highly recommend using 'Sold by Chenkus' to be your representative.
