“I called John and Kim from New York regarding a listing I was considering purchasing near the beach.   John reviewed the numbers with me along with the condition of the home.   After this review John mentioned another home that he knew about.   Based on the trust I had established  in John and Kim, I then purchased this home sight unseen.   It is absolutely one of my all time favorite homes I have ever lived in.   Since buying this home I sold my residence in New York using a very professional agent John referred me to, and also purchased another investment property in Venice, Florida.  I could not be happier with the choice I made in having John and Kim represent me during my Florida dealings.  Thank you John and Kim for helping to make my dreams turn to reality!

“Joanne, I thought some of the higher ups at Michael Saunders should know about John Peirano and Kim Montgomery.   As we all know, it is not everyday that you come across impeccable service these days.   It doesn’t matter if you are at a restaurant, at your doctor’s office, checking out at the grocery store, or in this case buying a home.   The point is, is that good service is extremely hard to find, so when you do come across it, I believe you should applaud it.   I can not say enough about the professionalism, the integrity, and the skill and diligence that the two of them bring to the table when buying or selling a home”.   Joanne responded…”Scott, I agree with you about service, and about John and Kim.  They have been a great addition to the company and we are extremely proud to have them!

“For many years I had enjoyed my second home on the water as a sanctuary and fishing getaway.   When Sally and I decided to sell, we wanted an agent that knew the local waterways, and who shared our love for waterfront  property.   My back was out, and when John and Kim volunteered to repair the deck boards of my dock I knew I had chosen realtors that not only were highly skilled in selling, but weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.   I highly respect this, and after my dock was repaired I received 98% of my asking price.   Thanks John and Kim!

“While attending an open house one day, I met John Peirano.   He was unaware that I was a retired real estate broker, and that I was looking for a skilled agent to sell my home.   Being a retired broker, I have interviewed many agents in my time, and based on the knowledge John had of the neighborhood along with the questions John asked me during my visit, I knew immediately I had found the right agent for the job of selling my home.   I contacted John and Kim later that week to bring them by my home to get their opinion and to further interview them.  For general purposes,  I interviewed 3 other agents, and the vast difference in the quality of their marketing plan and sales skills compared to John and Kim’s skills was like night and day.  John and Kim listen to your needs, adapt quickly, and are passionate about getting the job done right”.   Dolly and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Sarasota County area.   By the way, after giving John and Kim the listing, they sold our home in less than 1 day.   Now that is fast!

“As the owner of a horse farm and beach property in California I wanted to find the perfect getaway and investment on the opposite side of the country.  I started conversing with John by email.   I decided to fly in and look at 3 properties that all seemed to be worthy of my goals.    After arriving in Venice,  John spent time teaching me about the town, and then proceeded in showing me several other options as well as the three properties I had picked.   I decided to purchase a property at Venice Beach that was not in my original picks.   If it wasn’t for John listening to what I really wanted, I would have ended up buying something else that I would not nearly have been as happy with.   In a few years when I decide to sell, I will give John and Kim my business based on the complete professionalism and representation they provided.    Thanks for everything you guys did.

“As a retiree looking for something to do, I decided to get into real estate investing on the side as a way to keep my brain occupied.    Some people golf, I like to make money.   I called on a property that John Peirano was selling, and met with him later to see the property.  After previewing the property, John asked if I lived at such and such address.  I looked at him in amazement as he knew where I lived based on the car I drove.   He knew my EXACT address based on his knowledge of the area.   After laughing for a while, we went and looked at 3 other properties I had on my list as potential buys.   I asked John if I could make any money on buying and reselling any of the properties I looked at.   He told me ABSOLUTELY NOT…and that if my goal was to buy and resell that he would come up with 3 properties within a week for my consideration.  Based on his honesty, and not just trying to sell me anything so he could make a commission, I knew at that moment he was my realtor for life.   Since our first meeting I have bought and sold (through John and Kim) 5 homes now, and I have made a lot of money as a result of listening to him”.

“Kim and John are among the best realtors in the business.  In fact I  have never met and worked with a better team.   They have an incredible savvy for dealing with the marketplace in good times and in bad.   I have worked with them since 2003, and will continue to work with them.  As an author, I am an extremely busy person, and the fact that they take care of all of the details not only keeps my stress level at a minimum when dealing with real estate, but it frees me up to do the things I do best.   You guys are worth your weight in gold.   Thanks.”
