Donald Geikie & Dana Westmark were very professional from the start and just as important, extremely knowledgeable in real estate for the Sarasota area. It was very obvious they were well-prepared and ready to help us find our dream vacation home. We eventually found the vacation condominium that we felt was a perfect fit. We wanted to thank you and your team for making a complicated process into one that was very enjoyable. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property in the Sarasota area.
Donald was extremely professional, knowledgeable and went way beyond our expectations in his efforts during a complex purchase. This property was a short sale and the process was arduous. At every step of the way Donald was there. He showed many properties, understood our needs, communicated continuously over long distance, and was a steady hand throughout the process. We have been through the home purchase process before and were never in better hands.
The service provided by Michael Saunders & Company was exceptional, in particular the tireless devotion that Dana Westmark gave to selling my property. From the day she and Donald Geikie came to discuss selling the property until the settlement date with the new owner, I felt that the sale of my house was never off Dana’s mind and the most important for her to sell.
Donald listened to our needs and was able to filter out properties that would not fit for us. When we found our property, he handled the negotiations splendidly. The result is that we are now homeowners in a lovely neighborhood. We can’t thank Donald enough got all he did to finalize the purchase. Donald is an asset that I’m sure you value highly in your corporation.
We would like to express our deep appreciation to Dana Westmark and Donald Geikie for the outstanding work they did for us. Not only did they sell our Lakewood Ranch home near the asking price in just a few short weeks, but introduced us to a community which fit our downsizing needs perfectly. Due to their hard work, we were able to close one day and make our purchase the following day. It was a painless miracle, and we will be forever grateful. Not only efficient, but both were extremely responsive and sympathetic to our needs, helping us in innumerable ways in getting our home ready for sale, and recommending people to help us fix up our new house. We love it here. we will always be grateful to Dana and Don, and will be recommending them to everyone we know.
We worked with Dana Westmark and Donald Geikie to sell our house and to buy a new home. What a wonderful experience to work with two professionals who knew what we wanted and where to find it. As a result of their expertise and perseverance we sold our home and found a new home at the right place and price. Throughout the experience, we always managed to laugh and keep things in perspective. They are a great team. We would highly recommend your company to friends and family looking to relocate to this area.
Donald Geike and Dana Westmark did a truly outstanding job of selling our home. Their diligence and good humor made the arduous process of leaving our home of 33 years so much easier. Donald even helped us move boxes etc, and hired the right people to help. They were always there for us through the inevitable hiccups. I cannot tell you enough how grateful we are for their help. Michael Saunders & Company is blessed indeed to have them.
I have a very high 'standards bar' for real estate selling. Dana and Donald met the bar easily in terms of the advice they gave us about pricing, timing, getting the unit ready to show to its best advantage, negotiating with potential buyers who put in bids, signing contractual papers, negotiating with the ultimate buyer and getting us through the walk-through and closing. We are ready to list a second unit with them. We highly recommend using the two of them.
Our relationship with Donald and Dana has extended over the past 10 years. We have purchased and sold more than one home during this time. Because of our ongoing relationship with them, and their willingness to listen to our needs and desires in the real estate market, we have always had a very positive experience. The combination of Donald's witty sense of humor and Dana's always upbeat attitude has softened the low points and enhanced the high points along the way. We look forward to our continuing relationship with Donald and Dana because their customer-oriented focus and commitment to quality service doesn't make it seem like work at all!
