Testimonials
We wanted to list through Michael Saunders due to their strong presence in the Lakewood Ranch community. We were fortunate to have Laura Navratil and Tim Carney represent us. Their knowledge and professionalism from the start was appreciated. Their suggestions on how best to prepare for showings and most importantly pricing the unit accurately made a big difference. There was a potential issue within days of closing that would have affected the sale. Laura and Tim provided a solution to the buyer so that we were able to proceed with the sale. Not only are they great agents but they are people who really do care!

I wanted to drop a line to you to express our immense gratitude for the professional service we received from Laura Navratil and Tim Carnes. They went well above our expectations in helping us sell our property. Even though we lived outside of the United States we honestly felt they cared about us and this was not just a business transaction. They happily handled ever aspect of the sale including dealing with a number of service companies such as air conditioning. Any issue that came up they were there front and centre to help us. They walked us through every step of the process and we felt tremendous comfort in their advice and guidance. Laura and Tim made the selling process much easier and manageable. We really appreciated their attention to our property and can not thank them enough. Great job! Great service! Strongly recommend them for any real estate transaction.
Mary Pihl and Laura Navratil were exceptional. After looking at numerous homes to buy we had about given up but Mary continued to make us aware when she saw a house that contained what we were looking for. We knew when we saw the house we purchased that it was the one! And the sale of our previous home occurred within 90 days which was our goal. Cannot say enough good things about Mary and Laura and your support team. Obviously, we were very pleased and would recommend your team and in particular Mary and Laura to anyone seeking true professionals to help with their real estate needs.
Our realtor in Lakewood Ranch was Laura Navratil, and she was absolutely the best! She listened to our needs, was patient with us as we viewed homes again and again, and demonstrated the utmost professionalism. Being out of state buyers came with some challenges for us, but Laura went “above and beyond the duty of a realtor” and took care of so many things for us that they’re too numerous to list. We wanted you to know just how great Laura represents your company!
