Sterling Realty Associates (Florida) Inc

"Jeff Lawrence is absolutely the best real estate agent we've ever met. He gave us the best home buying experience. Very knowledgeable. Responsive. Extremely professional. If you are the first time homebuyer definitely you should work with him and his team."

"I first worked with Toni James of Sterling Realty in November 2019, when she helped me to purchase a villa in The Meadows. She handled the whole transaction with absolute professionalism and integrity. I was especially impressed by her responsiveness — never once did I wait more than a few minutes for an answer to any call, text, or email. She then went on to manage the villa as a vacation rental until I was able to move in, and she handled every aspect of that relationship just perfectly. Fast forward to May 2020. We are in the midst of a global pandemic, and yet, I needed to sell my condo once my newly renovated villa was ready to occupy. Toni and her team worked closely with me to miraculously manage to list, show, and sell my condo in just 17 days. She and her team were on top of every detail all along the way. I highly recommend Sterling Realty for everything they offer: if you’re looking to buy or sell or rent. Working with them has been an incredibly positive experience!"

"Went through a whole process of showing the house to us and went through the application and everything and meanwhile turned down a few other houses and lost those opportunities just to have them wait to the last minute to tell us the house is not available. Good luck finding a house a week away from moving date. And Toni decided to just text with no phone call. Very irritating with bad customer service. Do not recommend unless you want to deal with the heartache"

"I made an inquiry online for down payment assistance. I was then contacted by Jeff Lawrence. Unfortunately I was driving into the parking lot of my apartment complex where I do not have good service so the phone disconnected. When I got home I went upstairs to call back when I received a text message saying “Thanks for being rude and hanging up. You made the inquiry not me. However, we only work with NICE people! Good luck with down payment assistance. Goodbye.“ HOW RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL WAS THAT! I will NEVER work with such a mean, unprofessional, negative person. If they hire people like Mr Lawrence, I am not interested in working with this company."

"Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, returns all calls and texts promptly. Absolutely no pressure with the purchase of our house, and everything went smoothly. Also rented with Sterling Realty in another area of Sarasota with excellent service. Would never risk doing business with anyone else."
