We had used Michael Saunders to buy our Placida home 14 years ago and decided to use Michael Saunders again to sell it. After researching Agents online we decided to contact John Harms because of his experience and excellent sales performance in the Placida, Boca Grande market.John has a wonderful personality and did an excellent job marketing our home. We had hoped to receive a higher selling price but because we already contracted for a new home in Brooksville, the timing was a higher priority. The photographer John used was excellent and the pictures in the MLS were outstanding. Fortunately, our house closed just before the COVID-19 Virus pandemic peaked.John was very congenial and a pleasure to work with. We thank John for helping to make the process proceed smoothly and stress-free and Micheal Saunders for managing the transaction.
John was fantastic on every front—he was attentive to every single detail of the house and purchase (including providing approved architectural plans on a historical home/location), emailing to “check-in” along the way, anticipating our questions with answers. He was extremely thoughtful (we had a bottle of wine waiting for us in the room at the inn when we visited BG) and was always immediately responsive to any call or email. Even after the purchase, he has kept in touch to see if he can keep helping us in any way (since we live in Tampa). He is unquestionably a great agent and person! And there is no doubt that we will refer his contact information to any friend who might be looking on the island.
We have been doing business with Michael Saunders & Company for six years, now, with five purchases and one sale, and have found your services to be excellent. Let me particularly commend John Harms, who has invariably been competent, pleasant, and helpful. John has always been available when we needed assistance and worked diligently to aid us through some complex transactions. I will be more than glad to recommend both John and your agency to any friends who are in need of real estate services.
My wife Rita and I recently closed on our unit in Boca Grande. John Harms was our agent. We just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to work with John throughout the buying process. He was always available. No matter what the time or day. John was very professional and kind. Very good experience. 10 out of 10 for John.
One of your real estate agents, John Harms, assisted us with this purchase thru your firm. His help was above and beyond what we or anyone could have expected. He provided valuable counsel thru the negotiation and worked us thru more details and questions than I can count. Since we were not on-site, he was always there to take care of what needed to happen, working thru the building inspection and follow up on inspection issues. And he continues to look out for us, as we are still held up waiting for virus vaccination and cannot yet travel to our new home. He certainly deserves your recognition. Ron & Bunny Taylor
I recently bought a beautiful condo in the Cape Haze area. And thanks to John Harms the entire process went very smoothly. He was very knowledgeable and familiar with what was available in the area. He showed several condos and was very patient in answering my many questions. During the contract phase he was very attentive to detail and was an advocate for me. I felt very assured that what I was doing was the absolute right thing. And that is a feeling that no amount of money can buy.
We would like to say thank you to both Janie Vaughan & John Harms. Janie made the whole process a positive one. Her energy, her willingness to assist us in any way, her upbeat friendly attitude was just wonderful! Janie's communication toolbox was full. Her texts, phone calls, emails & notices when something had to be signed or decided were quick and clear. No balls were dropped. John was so relaxed and kind. We never felt any pressure from either agent. They both made us feel like we had two new Florida friends. We love our new home.
