Testimonials
"Wth your help, my wife and I now have several properties on Longboat Key. We couldn't have done this without your help in determining which properties on the island met our desires. The work you did upfront, to understand our investment goals, was what won us over. You spent the time to educate us on real estate concepts such as potential appreciation, potential rent income and, of course, the potential to enhance our lifestyle. We'll be forever thankful."
Mike & Barb M., Minnesota Wed Jun 11
"We learned from a friend about the success he had with Jim and Barb Vitale. After working with them buying and/or selling 3 properties on Longboat Key over the past 3 years, we can easily recommend Jim and Barb Vitale because they live up to their motto: Making Dreams Come True."
Erik & Ann Marie N., Florida Wed Jun 11
"In the past 50 years, I have dealt with many so-called "experts" but when Barb and Jim profesionally and efficiently engineered my home sale, they earned that title. Robert L. Florida"
Robert L.,Florida Wed Jun 11
"Jan, I'd like to thank you for your professionalism, advice, due diligence, and "going the extra mile" in making sure that my purchase was completed correctly and quickly. Being an "out of state buyer", I had to put a lot of trust in a realtor to not only represent me in my transaction, but also keep my best interests in mind. Thank you again for all that you have done for me and I'm sure we will work together again in the future. Anthony P., Boonton, NJ"
Anthony P., Boonton, NJ Wed Jun 11
"Our situation was a unique and difficult one to be in. We had time contraints to sell quickly during the slow season but at a fair and marketable price. Your undertanding of our situation, experience, reputation and, most importantly, confidence swayed us to choose your company without interviewing others. Although it was an extremely stressful time for us, your personal attention and advice gave us a welcome and much needed calming effect. Working together, we managed to get the house ready for sale within four weeks and sold to the first person who saw it a week later for slightly more than our asking price. It doesn't get much better than that! We wish to thank you not only for your services, but for your friendship and understanding."
Nick & Nina N., Longboat Key,Florida Wed Jun 11
"We were very pleased with Barb and Jim's attention and focus, as well as their innovative marketing on the Internet."
Gerry & Bette R.,PENNSYLVANIA Wed Jun 11
"We appreciated that our condo was sold in a timely fashion and that there were no extraneous difficulties with the sale. In addition to seeing our condo on your web site, forwarding us the printed ads and the post cards helped us to feel that our property was receiving the attention that we had hoped for. ."
Bob & Marie B. Wed Jun 11
"Knowing the Sarasota area, Jan was most helpful in finding the ideal condo best suited to my needs and wants. She went above and beyond what most realtors do from finding the ideal property to purchase to setting up all the inspections and necessary work needed for closing. She made the entire process of an out-of-town purchase much easier!"
Susan R., Michigan Wed Jun 11
"The insight and advice Jim and Barb have given to us over the years has been invaluable in helping us make our real estate decisions. We have completed 8 purchases through them, with an average annual ROI of just over 70% net."
Mark and Linda K., Florida Wed Jun 11
"When we finally found our dream house, you helped us get a great deal on it. We were especially impressed with your honesty and integrity and it was that honesty and integrity that brought us back to you to help us sell that very house when we had to leave because of Jim's job transfer."
Anne & Jim M., North Carolina Wed Jun 11

operators including several well known chains. Once in the program, your ownership is hands free,
and all marketing, reception, collections,daily maintenance,guest services,etc.are the responsibility
of the Inn, with whom you split gross revenue.

As an owner,You and all guests staying in the suite have full use of the Longboat Key Club.
14 days in-season and 14 days off-season are yours to use free. All pay only greens fees or extra Spa services and restraunt charges.
