I write here about move #30 for me since college - so I think I know just a little about the process, and what it takes to make it work. This move was unusual, even for me, because I was trying to buy a condo in Sarasota, Florida while living 2,000 miles away in Colorado. As I could not actually get to Sarasota for various reasons, long-time friends there offered to be "surrogate buyers" for me. Well, they chose a woman named Lisa Harris. I read her biography, looked at her picture, and told my friends, "well, she has honest eyes, a lot of experience, and if you trust her judgment, fine with me." My friends and I made a good choice. Ms. Harris not only showed broad knowledge of the Sarasota market, but she listened, and only replied when she had the relevant facts at hand. To use a well-worn cliche "the bottom line" was that the usual snarls got quickly unsnarled and that I was a happy new condo owner.
Lisa was most professional and kind in every detail. Whether it was to email or text early in the morning, persistence in negotiating small details, working with difficult people and taking the time to underrstand my own personal circumstances. She held herself with the highest of integrity, had others step up, Linda, when her schedule overlapped, and she transitioned my move to my new Florida seamlessly. From the moment my mom and I walked into your offices on Tamiami, to previewing home choices at Neal, then going through the arduous at length review of upgrades at Neal's Lakewood Ranch office, I could not have been more satisfied, pleased or delighted.
Lisa Harris represented and sold a house for my family in the summer of 2017. She explains things well. She is very businesslike. She impressed us with her work ethic and the time she put into selling the house. She stayed on top of every issue and kept us informed about them as they arose. I would highly recommend Lisa Harris to anyone who wanted to hire her to sell their house.
Recently we were in the market for purchasing a home in Sarasota County. We met Lisa at an open house and informed her of the type of house, location and price range we were looking for.Lisa worked for over a month without any pressure on us to find the home we ultimately purchased within our price range. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone who maybe in the market for buying or selling a home.
Lisa assisted me twice in the last six months - once selling my condo and then assisting with my condo purchase last month. I cannot say enough nice things about Lisa. Her service from beginning to end was exceptional. She was the consummate professional - a great listener, responsive, and exhibited superior follow-through skills.

I am a licensed Realtor in the state of Washington and I was looking for a professional to sell my home in Nokomis, FL. Lisa's name was mentioned and after speaking with her, I knew she was the one for me. She was an absolute professional in every way imaginable. She went above and beyond to make sure that our listing was presentable and inviting. She was a great negotiator and great at communication. She kept me updated on a daily basis - and being from out of state, I really appreciated all of her efforts and attention to detail. I highly recommend Lisa Harris.
Lisa Harris. Michael Saunders & Company. Write them down. File them away. Copy them. Because if you move out of - or into - Florida you really need caring professionals. And they are. I know. Lisa helped me move into Sarasota, and then, later, to leave. Oh, I could have called on any number of Realtors. But luck pointed me to Lisa Harris. She turned out to be knowledgeable, caring, and truly interested in resolving my many problems. She listened. And if she didn't know the answer to my question, she took time to carefully research it, and got back to me very quickly. That is a rare commodity these days. You don't have time for long reviews. So let me just say this. If you want a Realtor with whom you feel totally comfortable: Lisa Harris. If I were to move back to Sarasota, she is the one I would rely on and trust.

My husband and I spent more than three years looking for a vacation home on Siesta Key. It was not until we met Lisa Harris from Michael Saunders that we were able to find the ideal place. We met Lisa at an open house and the next day she showed us a limited number of places based on our parameters. She did not waste our time showing us condos that were not within our budget or did not have the amenities we wanted. Within that day, we found our dream vacation home. Lisa guided us through the negotiation and once the accepted offer was locked in she took care of all the necessary paperwork to get us to our closing. Lisa and all the team members we worked with at Michael Saunders were patient and professional. With our permanent home being in New York and having to make all the final details via long distance, we feel very fortunate to have worked with such a great group of people.
Lisa Harris was exceptional throughout our entire home buying process. Not only did she take the time to listen to what we wanted, where we wanted to live as well as the budget we wanted to stay within, she contacted us the next day with possible listings that encompassed our initial discussion from the day before. Lisa stayed in touch with us as we worked long distance through the process and went over and above doing face time, phone and conference calls with the builder and found answers to our many questions. We could not be happier with the superior service Lisa provided to us and would recommend her to anyone.
