We recently had the pleasure of working with Jo Rutstein and Hilary Souza while looking for a second home in Sarasota. Both were very professional and extremely well-prepared about each listing we chose to preview. Both were very knowledgeable and very flexible with their schedules to accommodate us, as we were only in town for the weekend and had to make the most of our short time there. Both shared valuable insight about Sarasota and the surrounding areas. Being long distance, inspections and closing could not have been smoother. We look forward to making our new house “our” home. We would highly recommend them for all of your Sarasota real estate needs without hesitation!
“I highly recommend Jo Rutstein for the great job she did for us in selling our Longboat Keycondominium.
