We had no intent of buying another home when we decided to enjoy the Florida weather for the winter of 2020/2021. Our plans were to rent a small condo in Nokomis as we never really spent much time on the Gulf. We thought we'd travel thru Florida and perhaps years down the road, we might settle for another place to call home. Venice grabbed our hearts. We strolled thru the Farmer's Market one Saturday in January and noticed the MSC office. The only reason that we stopped in was that we noticed Micheal Saunders's reality signs everywhere! We needed a booklet as we had no idea about the market, the area, prices, etc.. I believe the only person in the office that afternoon was Mr. Peter Mann. Peter has an amazing ability to listen. In minutes, he knew exactly what my wife and I required in yet another house. In fact, I remember him saying specific communities that he would be interested in if he were purchasing a home and one of those suggestions is where we were drawn to: Sawgrass! Peter is persistent, always available and extremely knowledgeable. He never quits. He loves his job and, more importantly, the people he meets along the way. Not only do we have a beautiful Florida home because of Peter, but my wife Susan and I have forever friends with Peter and Terry Mann.
Last Fall, I and my partner Sam decided to sell our home in Asheville, NC and relocate to Florida. We didn’t know anyone so we began contacting some real estate agents and trying to communicate what we were looking for. After two failed attempts with agents that weren’t really listening to us, we reached out to some Florida friends. That is how we were referred to Peter Mann. We hit it off right away and took a trip down in early January to familiarize ourselves with the Sarasota market. We hadn’t expected to make any offers; we hadn’t even listed our Asheville home yet!Peter picked us up at our hotel and spent the next few days showing us around and looking at homes. On day 3 we happened upon a place near the UTC mall and knew it was exactly what we were looking for. Peter helped us through it all. First introducing us to Lou Davis at MSC Mortgage. Then Alice Clark at MSC Title. Everyone was most helpful and professional. In fact because of the long-distance move we even closed on the new home electronically and with the help of Federal Express. I cannot say enough good things about all three of them! It made what could have been a stressful experience into a very easy process. Thanks for having such a well-run organization and having some great folks working there!
Peter Mann, was the man! I believe professionals are good if they care, and Peter cares. Considering we purchased the home without seeing it --- Peter insisted we do a face time review - we found the home was better than we expected when we actual got there. Now we just got to get to Florida more often. Peter also sold our prior home in Venice, in days. Again, a pleasant outcome. I definitely will refer Peter and your firm to all I have the opportunity to do so.
