I needed to sell my home in Bradenton while living a thousand miles away. Alison made it so easy and proactively took on responsibilities well beyond those of an agent. For several months, as the property was made ready for sale, she personally took care of its upkeep and security. She responded quickly to every email and her advice on staging and pricing the property was spot on. It sold quickly. I could not be happier with the full service provided by Alison and her team. I will recommend her to any friend in the Tampa-Sarasota area. If you need a realtor, give her a shout.
The prospect of purchasing a new home in Sarasota while living in CT, was overwhelming. Alison handled all the details that arose, always offering problem resolution, and brilliant negotiating skills with a good sense of humor. She was my "stand in" when I could not be present. Her knowledge of the market and local resources has been invaluable as I begin the relocation process, always with consistent communication! I cannot express how easy Alison has made the entire purchase period, and how grateful I am for her experienced attention to detail, and her support.
Alison is delightful. She is positive, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. Alison listened to our requests and requirements. She nailed it out of the gate. She found a house we had not seen and it more than checked all the boxes. We made an offer same day and were under contract next day. Wonderful! We just moved in yesterday and are happy and exhausted.
Buying a house with Alison Stottlemeyer alongside as our realtor was seamless! We had been working with Alison for a year as she sent us listings to keep us aware of what was available. When the time was right, we met with her for 2 days as she patiently drove us around showing us multiple houses in Sarasota. This was so helpful for us to get a lay of the land. When we found our dream home she made it happen! From contract negotiations to referrals of local contractors, Alison was so professional & helpful. Her bubbly, contagious, caring personality and extreme knowledge of the real estate market in Sarasota was a huge bonus. We cant recommend Alison enough & feel like weve also met a new lifelong friend as she helped us find our Florida dream home.
Of course Alison is a real dynamo and is extremely professional But what really impressed me was her reliability and dependability. She could be counted on to help my husband and myself accomplish all the myriad tasks and complicated coordination that is involved in selling a home and buying a new one. She was spot-on with all her recommendations and numbers. We felt nothing was left undone. Alison was right there with us with referrals for other professionals or to attend a meeting. We knew we were not her biggest client, but she made us feel as if we were.
(And, my parents and brother were realtors) Alison is so knowledgeable of the market, and the nuances of financing and mortgages. She finds out your needs and looks for ways to please. Through every step in the dificult process of buying one home and selling another, she was our confident guide leading us through it. We know that she genuinely cared about us and it was quite pleasant to see her get just as excited when she is pointing out features she knows we will love. I'm also certain you will have the same experience.

Alison has always kept up with the current listing and contacting me on potential homes which is always critical in this hot market, which sees homes sell in just a couple of days.
I'm recommending allison to all of my family and friends that will be looking for homes in the future. she was awesome and so knowledgable about all aspects.
a excellent negotiator also, we just love her.
Alison was easy to work with and never pressured us. For several months she sent us listings, refined our criteria, and answered questions. She was always willing to seek out information we requested. Since we were buying from Wyoming, we had to rely extensively upon her guidance.
I was referred to Alison by a friend. After my first meeting with Alison, I knew that she was the person I wanted to work with. Alison spent an entire day the first day we toured homes trying to understand what I was looking for in a home. She explained how the entire process worked and answered all of my questions. Alison was great with dealing with me as a first time home buyer and wasn't put off by having to do a lot of hand-holding, with an indecisive buyer. nThe first weekend we went out to see houses in Sarasota and Bradenton, so I got a feel for different areas and neighborhoods. Alison was able to provide me with lots of background information on each area highlighting the pros and cons of each and she was also able to point out potential problems that I would have completely missed. At the end of the first day we narrowed our focus to more specific areas and Alison had a much better understanding of what I wanted. Alison was considerate of my time, when I came down for subsequent home tours. She would send me information in my personalized portal about every property she planned to show me. I appreciated the most, Alison allowed me to figure out on my own that my wish list wasn't congruent with what I expected to pay for a home. n Once I made an offer, Alison was there to guide me through each step of the process. Additionally, Alison uses Docusign which allowed me to sign paperwork online. Since I was working during the day ( two hours away) this was convenient, as I was able to get the necessary paperwork signed and submitted on time. n23 days after my initial offer, I closed on my first home!!! Alison is genuine, trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, patient and committed to making her client happy. There were days I was so frustrated, overwhelmed and discouraged. However, Alison would always say, we will find the perfect home for you and your daughter . She was right, we found the perfect home! nThank you Alison! 2017
Alison is a first-rate professional. She is sharp, kind, knowledgable, professional, responsive, and insightful. She took the time to get to know us and really find out what we were looking for and readily was able to identify properties that met our needs. We could not be more pleased with Alison and the process. She is top-notch and we would highly recommend her to anyone with real estate needs. 2017
Sincerely, Jill and Dane, a buyer from Sarasota, FL
We had the privilege of working with Alison Stottlemyer during the recent sale of our home of 12 years and the purchase of our brand new home. To say that we benefitted greatly from her involvement, vision and hard work, is a gross underestimation. Alison was always optimistic, supportive and dedicated to our needs and requests. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and helped us get the best deal on both ends of the transactions. n nAlison is a wonderful person who is a pleasure to work with on a daily basis. Her uplifting demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for helping people is contagious. To me, she exemplifies leadership and dependability. n nI would highly recommend Alison to help you with the sale and or purchase of your home. 2016
