American Realty Of Venice, Inc. 700 West Venice Avenue, Venice, FL 34285

"I was on vacation from Atlanta looking for a home. I met Gina Bakke at an open house in Grand Paradiso, Venice. I did not have a realtor, but meeting her for the first time I knew that she was the realtor that would represent my husband and I in our search for our forever retirement home. We looked at numerous homes from Venice to North Bradenton. She was diligent in showing us homes that met our requirements and price range. My husband and I cannot say enough about her professionalism and her love of the sunshine state! Always so enthusiastic as she loves to show homes. We settled on a home in Bradenton only to be told that someone overbid us. A week went by before she contacted us that the house was back on the market! She handled everything while we were back in Atlanta. We cannot say enough about Gina, and you would be doing yourself an injustice not to hire this beautiful, energetic realtor. She just loves Florida and the sun shines right thru her. We made a friend for life!"

"When looking for a home, after renting with Meredith Stalnaker for three years, we knew Meredith would be perfect for guiding us in helping to buy a home in Venice. Meredith, quickly provided a couple of listings and my wife went and saw a house, which she did not like. Meredith now knew what my wife wanted for a home. The very next day , my wife saw the listing Meredith sent and immediately my wife called Meredith and two hours later saw the home which she loved. An hour later an offer was put in. Meredith called the listing Broker and said my client wants this home. Two hours later our offer was accepted. Meredith was there continually , when we did the inspection, closing, etc, you name it. She is a true professional, knowledgeable and provided exceptional service. Meredith Rocks! Sincerely Larry and Saralyn Spires"

"I just moved into my new build one week ago today. Michelle was by my side every day for the entire 13 months the house was being built. She kept me updated on changes and progress better than the builder. Michelle treated my home as though it was hers and if she hadn’t calmed me down on several occasions i’m not sure how I would have dealt with the constant issues, delays and problems. American Realty of Venice and Michelle will be helping me with every home purchase and rental need I may have for as long as possible."

"Very pleased with work Michelle did for me on my recent real estate transactions. I was under some very tight time constraints, but Michelle was quick to follow up and get the transaction through on the required time line. Strongly recommend Michelle and her team."

"American Realty of Venice - I can't say enough good about this Real Estate company. The staff are top notch. The rental management department is excellent.
