From the beginning of my search for the 'perfect house' Dianne asked the right questions to help us both understand what I wanted. Granted, it took a while (my fault) and the road was not always straight (ditto), but Dianne gently brought me back on track each time and eventually my search was over - thanks to her patience and perseverance.
During our time together I grew to respect the job of Realtor. Being a realtor is not just a walk through a house and point out the positives! They have to familiarize themselves with the state, local and possibly HOA rules, regulations and requirements. They have to know the local markets to be able to estimate an accurate price of your house or the one you are looking to buy. They know inspectors and many other professionals needed to buy, sell or fix up a house. A big plus is they deal with all that paperwork, as well as myriad other jobs I don't even know about...which is what Dianne did for me time after time.
If you are reading this about Dianne, you are curious. I would encourage you to contact her and talk about your dreams and your realities. Listen to what she has to say - I think you will be pleased.
I would highly recommend Diane to represent sellers on the sale of their home. She worked with a skilled photographer and drone company to produce great photos and videos of my home in the Meadows. I interviewed multiple agents and am glad I went with Diane. She was knowledgeable about the area and priced my home appropriately. We had 2 offers within 3 days of being on the market and were able to secure an offer over ask. Diane and her team were helpful in coordinating getting the home ready for photos as I live out of state. She also has resources available for helping with getting landscaping done so the home shows in the best light possible. Also, we needed to get a vent fan replaced in the bathroom and she was able to get her handyman to come out and replace it at a reasonable price. Thanks to Diane and her team for ensuring a smooth and successful sale of my home in Sarasota.
We are so thankful to Dianne Anderson and Matt Smith for their work in selling my home. They displayed their knowledge, compassion and professionalism from the first moment we met. They consistently offered sound advice and worked to ensure that the house was listed to its full potential and value. They assisted us with tradespeople and schedules, while we were out of town. They kept communication flowing and were patient with our many questions. We knew they were there whether through phone calls, text messages, conference calls, emails, or in person. Their skill in negotiating represented us well and they worked to ensure that everything was handled in a reasonable timeframe and with an awareness of our needs. Finally, they were so gracious with their personal contact once the house had sold to discuss the process. They are truly a great team and I would highly recommend them to anyone. 2023

Dawn and I are appreciative of the great work that you and your team provided throughout the process of selling our Epoch condominium. From the initial setting of the list price until the closing, Dianne was attentive and knowledgeable. We quickly began receiving high quality interest in our unique unit. Dianne remained steady and confident when the first offer we received was surprisingly low. A couple of days later we received a great offer and closed in three weeks without a hiccup. We highly recommend Dianne.
Dianne is a highly professional, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable real estate agent. She was a pleasure to work with!! She demonstrated consciousness and willingness to push the envelope in order to get the best for her client. She was always available and dedicated to her profession.
Great command of the market. Great communication. Listens. Always calm. Has great focus and compassion and not only gets the job done.. but makes dreams come true
This was not my first experience working with Dianne. We have worked previously on both the selling and buying of properties and in the event that I ever again make changes in my real estate life, Dianne will be my "go to" agent.
I started looking at houses in Sarasota and connected with Dianne, she sent me many listings everyday until I found something that I was interested in. She found the perfect house for me in a great location and she had explained to me about the different areas that I would want to be in. Well now that we are here from Chicago, it has been just a great experience from the beginning to the end of this process with Dianne!! Thank you Dianne for making my dreams come true!!
My decision to look at real estate in Sarasota as a first time potential home buyer was a big step! I immediately called Dianne and told her exactly what I was looking for. It was important to find properties that were within a set criteria. We had such an excellent experience and will work with Dianne for all of our real estate needs. The most important part of the experience was her patience with our decisions, her ability to move quickly on making offers, and her knowledge of the Sarasota area. When making such a big decision it is important to trust your agent and she is someone we trusted to turn to when talking financials and home buying needs. Without a doubt a positive experience and made us excited for the future of real estate in Sarasota.
Dianne was pleasant to work with. Her knowledge of the area was excellent. Very professional and diligent in getting all paper work done. We liked working with Dianne as she was down to earth never any pressure. We certainly recommend her and will use her again when we sell and buy our next Condo in wonderful Longboat Key. Dianne worked both as the buyers and sellers realtor as it was her listing. Thank you Dianne. 2020
