Scott Johnston was our selling agent and he did a wonderful job in listing our former homewith excellent photos which included a drone fly by. Scott didn't have to work that hard in the sense that the first and only clients that viewed the condo quickly purchased it. However, Scott was very responsive to our constantinquiries and always took the time to answer our numerous questions. We were very impressed with Scott's knowledge of the real estate business.
Scott Johnston recently provided exceptional service as our listing agent. Our property closed 4/29/20. He demonstrated in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the process. His interactions with us were highly professional and always respectful. He guided us through the sale of our property, which had some unforeseeable issues due to Covid 19. We will highly recommend him to anyone searching for an excellent, knowledgeable Realtor.
I just closed on a property in the Plantations in Venice FL. Mr. Scott Johnston of Michael Saunders & Company was my realtor. To be honest, we were working with other brokers in the surrounding area, looking for a property that met our requirements for both location and price. Scott did a fantastic job for us. He was knowledgeable about everything in the Plantations; new roofs, plumbing updates, HOA nuances - everything. His knowledge ensured that we made a fair offer, taking into consideration the status of the roof on the property and the fact that the HOA is underfunded. We won't get blindsided by an unanticipated special assessment. He was also expert at closing. He recommended the right title company - they were both thorough and timely. He recommended the right home inspection service - they used an Infrared Sensor to identify leaks in the roof. When we ran into a problem that the HOA roofer couldn't find the problem to correct it, Scott used the contract to identify a third party, acceptable to both Seller and Buyer, who confirmed the findings of the original home inspection and ultimately resulted in the roof being repaired prior to closing. And he navigated all this on our behalf as we were out of state for the entire process. Scott really looked out for my best interests, his knowledge of the Plantations and the local contractors was invaluable. I will certainly recommend him to others looking to buy.
Scott Johnston is an exceptional agent. He worked with us over a four year period during the month of January. Scott is very professional and when we finally decided to purchase our property, he made it a very easy transition. I wish in my everyday transactions of doing business, I could meet more people like Scott. If we do require any further real estate in Florida, we will absolutely use your agency.
We were very fortunate to have Scott Johnston as our agent, absolutely the best! Every aspect of the adventure with Michael Saunders & Company and Scott was outstanding, keep up the good work! We'll definitely be passing this info along to others!
Both Scott Johnston, as our buyer’s agent (and neighbor in Sarasota National) and Joanne Hammar, listing agent, were a pleasure to work with to complete our home purchase.We dealt mostly with Scott during our purchase. He was honest and sincerely interested in making this purchase smooth and trouble free. He succeeded. Since we live 1500 miles away, Scott was our eyes and ears during the process and kept us informed of every development. We received many emails from him keeping us up to date on attorneys, home inspections, closing procedures, and many other details.Joanne also answered questions we had. As a fellow resident in Sarasota National Joanne also keeps us informed with her newsletter, The Hammar Times.In closing, we wish to repeat that we are very happy with our purchase and especially our Real Estate agents Scott and Joanne.
We worked with Scott Johnston at the Venice Office. He is a wonderful person in every way. We became friends during the home search. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to buy a home.
Scott was always professional and very knowledgeable of the area. Each day he listened to our requests and always followed through with homes that met those needs. We love the home we chose. We would highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for home in the Venice area. He's one of those people that is easy going and not a high pressured salesman which worked perfectly for us.
Scott Johnston was my realtor and he did an outstanding job, especially with the purchase of my new villa. When the listing disappeared from the MLS, we assumed that it was under contract. Scott went one step further and found that it went off MLS because the 6 month contract had expired. He contacted the seller’s agent and found that they still wanted to sell. We wrote a contract and I am happy to say that I am in my new place. Thanks Scott for taking that extra step.
Scott Johnston was nothing but exceptional and will continue to get referrals from me for as long as he in the business.
We chose Michael Saunders & Company because of your reputation. We were very fortunate in selecting Scott Johnston as our agent. I don't know what I would rate number one with Scott: attitude, communication skills, enthusiasm, energy, reliability or just being a really nice guy. I feel he was number one in all of the above. We feel if we were ever again to buy or sell in Florida, we would want Scott Johnston as our agent. Of course we will recommend your agency at every opportunity.
We want to recognize Scott for his professionalism and great service. Scott met all of our needs during the process of the purchase. Thank you and your team for making the Plantation Golf and Country Club a great place to live. We explored other options and always came back to the Plantation as the best place to live.
