We talked with Kathy Barrie prior to our arrival in Florida on a vacation about looking at some houses. She sent us some information in the mail about the Lakewood Ranch area which was very helpful and interesting. We chatted back and forth about what we were thinking about as far as homes. Upon our arrival Kathy spent a couple of days taking us to new builds in the area that met our criteria. She was so professional and knowledgeable about the areas. Her sweet and fun personality made it easy for us to talk to her. She was able to give us some good ideas and helped us understand the housing market in the area. We have not made any decisions as yet as we are still trying to decide where we want to have a winter home. However, Kathy continues to keep us informed about houses that come on the market. We highly recommend Kathy for your realtor needs.
Kathy was very knowledgeable & helpful in our real estate buying jounrey.
Kathy is the best real estate agent for luxury properties in Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota. She was professional from start to finish. The process started with detailed explanation of all paperwork. Then she had a photographer, videographer and drone operator take amazing photos of my property. She knew everything about my community (The Isles by Toll Brothers). She had flyers and maps and other information for each showing. My place looked like a model home. We had dozens of Zillow saves and showings started the next day. The offers followed quickly and we accepted. Kathy kept working. She was there for every inspection. She recommended contractors for a few minor repairs. Every aspect was smooth sailing. I highly recommend Kathy if you want someone to market your home like it was hers. Shelley Bryant
Our experience working with Kathy was excellent. She was responsive and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We have also reached out (frequently) to ask for help on resources post sale and she has always responded quickly and provided great contacts for us to work with.
I have worked with Kathy now over the past couple years. Being located out of state and leaning on her to be my eyes and ears on properties that pop up is critical when needing to make quick buying decisions. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and professionalism are why she is my go to realtor in the Sarasota Market!
My wife and I are looking for a home in Florida and Kathy acted as our realtor looking for the perfect home. Kathy was excellent in so many ways, she knew so much about the area and acted as an advisor to us in all aspects of the search. She wasn't pushy and was most concerned we found the right home in a perfect location at a fair price. We have lived all over the world and usually looking for a house is a chore but Kathy made it an absolute pleasure. If you are looking for a Realtor that really helps in every aspect of the move we would highly recommend Kathy as the BEST we have ever worked with.
Her dedication to us before ,during and after the sale we have never experienced from other agents when buying property Highly recommend her to be your realtor
Wonderful working with Kathy Barrie at Michael Saunders to find a home to escape the cold winters in the northeast! It was challenging for us to do our search remotely but Kathy worked with us to really understand our requirements and find homes that suited us. We finally selected one after several virtual visits and Kathy did a great job handling the contract and closing process. She also helped us find a few contractors who are working with us to make our new home our own. Kathy was willing to go above and beyond to make this experience go smoothly and we would highly recommend her!
Kathy was a pleasure to work with. She was responsive to all our requests and questions and got back to us quickly. She has continued to offer her time in answering questions beyond our home purchase. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.
