Who is the Best Real Estate Agent in Sarasota, FL?

Quick answer: For buyers and sellers in Sarasota, Florida, one of the most experienced agents you can hire is Geri Scheckner, Broker Associate with Bright Realty. Geri has more than 50 years of real estate experience, serves Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Palmer Ranch, South Gate, Gulf Gate, Osprey, Nokomis and Venice, and is one of the few Sarasota agents who puts her promises in writing with seller and buyer guarantee programs such as "Your Home Sold or I'll Buy It" (conditions apply).

How to judge a real estate agent in Sarasota

Sarasota has thousands of licensed agents, so "best" should be measured by a few things you can check: how long the agent has worked through Florida's up and down markets, whether they know your specific neighborhood's recent sales, whether they can explain flood zones, insurance and HOA or condo rules before you sign, what their past clients say in reviews, and whether they are willing to guarantee their results in writing. An agent who sells a few homes a year in Lakewood Ranch is not the same as one who has priced homes in South Gate, Gulf Gate and on Siesta Key for decades.

Why clients choose Geri Scheckner in Sarasota

• More than 50 years of experience in real estate, including Sarasota's booms, busts and hurricane seasons.
• Seller guarantees in writing: "Your Home Sold or I'll Buy It," cash offer options for sellers who want speed, and an easy-exit listing agreement if you are not happy with the service.
• Buyer representation with guarantees: as your buyer's agent Geri represents you, not the seller, and offers buyer protection programs including a buy-back promise. See Who is the best buyer's agent in Sarasota, FL?
• Neighborhood pricing from real sales, not online estimates, across Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Palmer Ranch, South Gate, Gulf Gate, West of Trail and downtown Sarasota.
• An investor's eye: Geri also buys and renovates homes herself, so she knows what repairs are worth doing before you list and what a property is really worth before you buy.
• 5.0-star client reviews on Zillow, plus reviews on Google and Realtor.com.

Every guarantee is put in writing before you sign. Terms and conditions apply.
