Full disclosure, this is my broker. I have been an agent in the Bradenton office for over 10 years…read more Michael Saunders & Company is a great company and I couldn't be happier working at the Bradenton office. Our agents are knowledgeable and friendly. As a Realtor working with other Realtors, it is amazing how supportive we are of each other, rather than competing against each other. MSC is constantly improving the tools provided to the agents and offers a full schedule of continuing education and training. If you are a buyer or seller looking at this review, I would encourage you to use the services of a Michael Saunders agent. They are well prepared. If you are an agent reading this review and you are considering a move, I can highly recommend my broker.

Do not work here if you are from up north because you will be judged and treated like you are an immigrant. Floridians are very threatened by northerners especially if you are from New York.

I prepared 2 estoppel certificates for our Association requested by Elite in the past 6 months…read more Over the past 15 years I have prepared hundreds of estoppel. I have never had problems with getting information from any other title company until I worked with Elite. On the first I had to jump through hoops and hurdles and after 2 weeks I received a warranty deed. None of the other info I requested on the certificate. On the second I have sent 1 email and had a phone conversation and still can't confirmation that a closing was completed that was scheduled 9 calendar days ago. I am still waiting and calling for a warranty deed, contact for the buyer, at least.

I began renting from Anchor Down in May of 2023 and have had an excellent experience with them in…read moreevery way. Brooke has been my point of contact and everything has gone smoothly over the last 24 months. I will be moving due to the owners selling the current rental property I am in, and I looked to rent through Anchor Down again, but they didn't have anything available that met my needs. With that said, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent. I sold my home in 2022 and rented from another agency out of Bradenton (GCPM) for a year, and they were a complete nightmare, so it was refreshing to have an agency that was honest and appreciated a renter who is clean, took care of the property, paid bills on time, was quiet and didn't damage anything. I appreciated an agency who did what they said they would do and got back to me in a timely manner if there was an issue that arose. Thank you Brooke and Anchor Down for a great experience!

Thank you for the expensive experience. My review is intending to catch the eyes of those looking…read morefor what could possibly go wrong with the above management company/property... Lake O Woods AKA camping with the woods Say it to yourself out loud....I am willing to go on family vacation and kill ants and roaches daily and be okay with replacing all food items that were purchased and washing all dishes that roaches and ants were in contact with. Maybe the people I communicated with about my issues this is a normal day in their life dealing with the insect at their house. Definitely not okay at my house. . If I owned the house I would be embarrassed. Just as I was to introduce this experience to my family. I know I sent a text with pictures and videos of a snapshot of what we got to experience. It was handled with a service person for roaches and ants, plumbing issues call and a apologizing text. So good on management company on responding right!? Ants. Roaches. Ants. Wasps. Roaches. Broken closet light in the master. Roaches. Ants. Shower not draining/toilet leak/backup (NOT caused by us per the plumber) repeat on ants and roaches killing daily with my own spray I purchased while on this vacation. Explaining the insect infestation to the family members you invited on vacation and your toddler children....fun right on vacation right!? We booked this rental because it was phenomenal last year. This year the place has clearly taken some steps back. I don't know how I ended up paying the price I paid $3500 to do basically camping with a private pool that ended with green algae/moss in it by the end of the stay. My wife will not let us and our family return to this property.. Explaining daily why we have to buy new food because the bugs took it over is not something someone should have to do on vacation. Nor is it a vacation when you see 3 different house service people. (Maintenance, plumber, pest inspection) there are so many places to do business with down here.... Unfortunately this was a tough expensive experience. I don't know what the fix should have been...(maybe finding us a property that could get us in if vacant) another idea is that when a service needs to happen....should I bet the person to be taking to the plumber or pest control or should there be a liaison from said management company there to handle it.... However I wasn't able to book another property after day 1 and 2 and 3 of issues. I would have loved to book a hotel for 8 or get out of this infested house... But that's not possible when you are binded by the money you already spent on this rental. Again a truly expensive experience lesson learned. Make it make sense. Reach out for questions. I have video of the roaches and will upload them if this could help someone else decide who to do business with. bryansmithatc@gmail.com This might be standard for some companies to respond this way. After all is done - we checked out on Tuesday and the management company/owner agreed to compensate me %50 of the full monies spent on Thursday afternoon Unfortunate Respectfully, Bryan Smith Oklahoma City

Jim is just an all around great guy. He knows the business very well & makes the process seem…read moreeasy. I have heard friends talk about how difficult and time consuming there refinance was. Jim was always approachable and helpful. You truly feel that you have someone in your corner watching out for your best interest. My first attempt did not work out because of a lower than expected appraisal. You would think that's the end, but no it was not. Jim said he would keep an eye on the market & on rates for me. I figured that was probably just polite lip service; but no... about seven months later I get a call from Jim.... "hey Tim I think the market is just about right for you appraisal & interest rate wise if you are still interested". Not only that, but you could tell he truly felt bad it did not go my way on the first try... even though it was no fault of his; he helped me out with the second appraisal and boom refinance was done. Every question answered + every step explained = a very happy client. I would not only recommend Jim, but if it was a close friend or family member, I would insist on it!! Thank you Jim !! Tim T.
