Jeff went above and beyond to make sure that my family had a smooth process selling my father’s home after he passed. Anytime in the future I purchase or sell a home, it will be with Jeff Lawrence of Sterling Realty!

Incredible realtor. I have bought multiple priorities with him and hopefully a few more. Very detail oriented and a great negotiator.

We really enjoyed working with Jeff, he was very attentive to our concerns and promptly responded to our calls. He dealt with the multiple offers professionally and kept our interests in the forefront. We rated him and your company five stars. One thing we did find mildly disappointing, we never received a gift card of some type for using your services. We've bought and sold 5 homes during our marriage and this has been the only time where this has occurred. It was something that Jo Ann and I looked forward to after buying or purchasing a home. Thanks for asking for our thoughts and if by chance we ever need your services again, we will not hesitate to use your company to represent us again.

Sincerely,
Alan & JoAnn

P. S. We think we found our new home in Sun City Festival. We just made an offer on it, and waiting for a response from the seller's...

Greg and Terri were great to work with. I loved the house we bought and Greg found many nice options to consider. He is very patient and listens to his buyers well. He is also the type of realtor that is not only there to search for properties and lead the buyer through the closing process, but is available long after the sale for follow up, as a resource, and as a friend. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Greg Martin and his team at Sterling Realty did a wonderful job helping us evaluate, market, sell, and close our property on Lido Key in Florida. They were very knowledgeable about the area and extremely responsive during the entire process. We would highly encourage anyone to start with Greg and Terri at Sterling Realty if selling or buying property in the Sarasota region.

I'm pleased to share an extra positive review of Sterling Realty and team. Greg & team have been incredible throughout our process of discovery, to virtual visits and ultimately to closing.

Jeff Lawrence is everything you want and need in a real estate professional. He listened and understood what we were looking for and helped us to find our dream beach home during very trying times in the real estate market for buyers. We had complete confidence in Jeff. We were from out of state so many times Jeff looked at homes for us and we went by his word and video in our decision to make an offer on a home. Jeff wrote offers for us once on Thanksgiving and once on New Year’s Eve. With Jeff as your Realtor you can rest assured that he will be available and help you to find the home of your dreams also.

No doubt !!!! Selling a property in Florida can be challenging.
After interviewing Greg, I was absolutely convinced he was the right person to guide us thru the maze !!
Greg is knowledgeable and very versed in the best way to market our property !!!
He understands the sensitivity of the personal/emotional side of selling. “Your home”!!!
Greg made the whole process easy… he gladly took on the stressful parts of the process and made my life easy. !!!
I’ve sold numerous properties over the years.
Greg is easily the best agent I’ve ever used.
Don’t think twice.

Recently, Greg from Sterling Realty helped us with the purchase of a condominium in Venice, Fl, which we purchased as an investment property.
Greg took the time to review our needs carefully and ultimately, he found us the perfect property. He guided us through the transaction which went off without a hitch.
To make matters even better, Sterling found us a tenant almost immediately after the close. That tenant is now enjoying his new home and we are enjoying the rental income.
This is the third transaction Greg and company have helped us with in both Sarasota and Venice and they all have been terrific experiences. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I highly recommend Sterling Realty for all your real estate needs.

Greg was instrumental in helping us buy our Sarasota home. Since we were out of state and the market is/was so hot, Greg was our eyes and ears for us. He was so responsive - getting back to us by email and text and calling us whenever needed. He was very professional and in the end, helped us secure the house that we wanted. We never would have been able to navigate the market without him. I cannot say enough good things about Greg and Sterling Realty. I recommend them without hesitation.

Greg Martin and Sterling Realty were terrific to work with on selling our home in Sarasota. Easy to talk to, answered all of our questions, and very patient and supportive when it took a while for us to make the final decision to list our house. Once our home was listed, photos were taken that really highlighted the rooms and yard.

Within just a few days, there were 10 offers, and Greg helped us look at the pros and cons of each one before we chose a great offer over the asking price!

As out of state sellers, we really appreciated that Greg made arrangements for the few repairs that were needed. The process getting to closing was smooth and quick!

We would highly recommend Greg Martin and Sterling Realty for any sales or purchase of real estate in the Sarasota area.

After spending a good amount of time with Broker/Owner Greg Martin of the Sterling Realty Sales Team primarily on the phone to map out what our criteria and expectations were, we purchased our vacation home in a very Covid 19 manner...sight unseen! They facilitated live stream showings for my wife and I and managed all of the on the ground support...not just to get the deal done but afterwards too. The home watch services they continue to provide gives us peace of mind.. I would highly recommend their team!

My husband and I were relocating from IL and were given Toni's name as a person who could assist us with finding a rental. From the 1st time I spoke with Toni to current, she has been nothing short of professional and kind. Toni thought outside the box for us and answered all of our questions and some I hadn't thought to ask. We had a few minor issues with our rental which Toni was quick to correct. I am genuinely grateful to have come across Toni!

Sterling Realestate did a terrific job of selling my property quickly ( one day ) and at full price and they were able to handle moving my possessions out of the property and returned to me in Canada.
Dealing with Toni James was a pleasure and very reliable and I would recommend Sterling Realtors to anyone looking in the Sarasota area.

Working with Greg and Terri was by far the best experience we've ever had in selling a home. The pandemic created some challenges for us but it was totally seamless with their help. They were always eager to lend a hand when we could not be there ourselves. Very knowledgeable of the market and always available for all of our many questions. You will not find anyone more diligent or more optimistic in their approach. Very pleased with the results.
Highly recommend using Greg and his team, you can't possibly be disappointed.

For the last five years, Toni James a long time Sterling Leasing Manager has performed outstanding service. What impresses us is her willingness and very capable skills to research, expedite and solve the many issues that occur when renting on a seasonal basis. She "knows" the real estate market at the Meadows. We have been renting at the Meadows for 12 years and joined Sterling when Greg a Terri purchased the business. They provide a holistic approach for both renters and for the home owners.

For the 3rd time we have enjoyed (along with a houseguest) the boat tour so generously provided by Sterling for all their guests/clients. It is fun to meet other "happy" Sterling guests and to take advantage of the marvelous Marine-Biologist who imparts so much information about Sarasota Bay and all the marine life. Terri and Greg are always so gracious, friendly and take time to speak with all. What a great lunch that was included ….just perfect for being on the water. Their program to support Johns Hopkins Children Center is most impressive ….as is all that they do!! We are VERY grateful to be included in this event.

I used Sterling Realty to list and mange my condo for the winter season of 2018-2019. As a first timer, I was more than pleased with the results I achieved using Sterling on a recommendation. Everything went smoothly and they handled my investment the way I hoped it would be handled. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of renting their property out seasonally. It sure gave me a piece of mind especially being so far away.
