Judi Dunn made the experience of selling a home as painless as possible. There are no words to explain the depths of our gratitude to her in the endeavor of having to sell a home. My father-in-law passed away with no will, and home that needed much work. The situation at the beginning was extremely stressful, but we obtained a lawyer who immediately referred us to Judi Dunn. She is exceptional. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Judi. She was a true pleasure to work with. Judi took the ball and ran with it. She was a great communicator and she made us feel as if we were her only

We were looking to move from Denver to Sarasota, and asked trusted friends in the Sarasota area for a good realtor, and they came up with Barry Bright - the owner and broker for Bright Realty.

Barry was everything that we could look for in a real estate agent. Before we even came out, he spent time with us on the phone and sent us listings to get an idea of what we wanted - and eliminate what we didn't want. When we came out, he spent a lot of time driving us around and refining - very accurately - what we were looking for. We ended up buying our dream home and couldn't be happier

We listed our home For Sale in North Port, with Cheryl Wiedwald because we had worked with her previously in another location. Apparently, she moved from one Broker to this new Broker and did not disclose this before the in person meeting to sign documents. I had questions about some items on the Listing Form and she wasn't able to respond stating, "oh, these are new forms because I'm with a new broker, so I don't know the answers." I'll give her the fact the pandemic "shelter in place" started shortly after the listing however, Cheryl Wiedwald was never very positive or upbeat. Really, that is

Dealt with Craig very rude on the phone because the situation to have an Escalade into an argument there was foul language Craig will not convey my offer told me flat out that he would not. When I asked him to to speak with somebody else in the office he flat out said no and that I should contact somebody else for the sale if I wanna deal. I am a cash buyer I can gladly show you references and bank accounts but still Craig does not want to convey my offer. He didnt questions my integrity of being a realtor myself. Totally unprofessional. I am interested in buying a business is there anybody
