Jody is wonderful! Very knowledgable of the industry and local market. She stuck with us even though it took nearly 18 months to find our new home. We highly recommend engaging her. You'll love her personal service and responsiveness.
I would like to say thank you to Jody Shinn for all her assistance with the Sale of our Condo. She went above and beyond her role to assist us with the preparation and sale of our condo. We were not able to be onsite and she took care of everything virtually for us. We never were able to meet personally but feel like we know each other very well. Our transaction was stress free and more than satisfied our expectations. With great appreciation, Thank you.
My wife and I could not be happier with the service that Jody has given us. We purchased two properties and sold one over the course of the past year. Jody was our realtor for all of these transactions and if we decide to purchase or sell any real estate in the Sarasota/Bradenton area in the future, I will only make one call to Jody.
Jody Shinn is outstanding! Her thorough research allowed us to correctly price our house, so that it sold in less that one week. She has our highest recommendation.
Working with Jody on this home purchase was a great experience.She was very attentive to our questions and concerns at all times, and we benefitted from her significant experience and knowledge of the market.
We had a very satisfying experience with Jody. She was very helpful picking out the right house for us in fact we ended up buying the one she picked for us. Jody is very knowledgeable of the area and showed us many different homes. She helped us with all aspects of our purchase. Finance, insurance, everything we needed. I have given her name to two different people who are potential buyers one of which is a family member. We hope to do business with Jody again in the future.
Jody was appointed to us for our recent company move. We could not have selected a better agent ourselves. Jody was in touch with us immediately. Being from out of country, we had a good deal to learn on the process of purchasing a home in Florida. Jody was patient as we toured the many homes we had selected and was able to get s into all homes in a quick fashion. Knowing our timeframe of our stay here, Jody was great in providing her thoughts on the property while still leaving the decision up to us. From the start of the search process right through to attending the closing with us, Jody was very professional, accommodating and we would highly recommend her services. Rob and Jayne Chapman
Thanks to Jody buying our first house was a walk in the park! We had no clue about all the ins and out of buying a home and Jody was there to coach us the whole way! I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home whether it is your first time or tenth time.
Jody was wonderful to work with and was amazing. My husband and I had one day to find a house as we were relocating from DC. She was patient and provided us with such useful information for us first time home buyers. Through Jody's help we were able to close in record time and truly felt we were well taken care of even after closing. Absolutely recommend working with her and would definitely use her again.
Jody is a highly professional agent. She keeps her client in mind at all times and provides frequent updates. We were impressed with her organizational skills and awareness of the market. Jody worked diligently to find a buyer in a very short period of time, using all the resources available to her. We would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
We received excellent service from Jody Shinn. She promptly returned calls & answered any questions. We felt good photography was essential & were very impressed that Michael Saunders provided professional photography that included drone video of the surrounding views & community. We'd definitely recommend Jody.
I would like to say we were as a family very pleased with your service. Jody Shinn sold the property to us about seven years ago and I chose her to sell it again because of her professionalism. She was very easy to deal with and always on call if we needed her. I would certainly recommend her and your company!
Jody has helped my clients from Virginia relocate to Sarasota/Bradenton. She knows the area and the ins and outs of the market. I can always rely on her to provide terrific service and knowledge!
First let me say that we are tough customers and it takes a five star real estate agent with enormous patience to find us the ideal home. Luckily we fell into the hands of a six star agent, in our book, Jody Shinn. I am sure that at times during our house hunting adventures Jody truly believed we were from outer space but never let on. She always let us feel that our comments and perceptions were always right. At times she jumped through hoops to get us into a home and we would barely get in the front door while insisting that it wasn't the right one for us. Jody never wavered and never gave up and eventually after three search expeditions helped us find the right one. She didn't stop there helping us through the various paperwork and mortgage processes leading to a stressless and pleasant closing experience. Jody still checks in with us and provides us with her knowledge of area contractors, shopping, and things to do. How lucky we and the Michael Sauders & Co are to have Jody representing us!
I am so grateful that I had Jody's expertise and professionalism to make buying my Bradenton condo such a rewarding experience. From the first time I walked into the Michael Saunders & Company office in Bradenton, Jody treated me with respect and patience - so nice for a Canadian looking to buy her first place in the sun! She was very knowledgeable and realistic - and respected my desires and price range. While the process took a few months to complete, Jody was always available to answer my questions and provide advice and updates. She certainly went the extra mile on numerous occasions. I would highly recommend Jody to any potential home hunters - they will not be disappointed!
Michael Saunders & Company / Jody Shinn When my wife and I decided to purchase a second home in the Sarasota area, we began our search by meeting with several different realtors. My wife and I both knew Jody Shinn was who we wanted work with almost immediately after meeting her. Jody provided exceptional service with a personal touch. She rearranged her schedule more than once to accommodate our limited schedule. Jody help direct us in a final decision of purchasing a new home on Anna Maria Island. Anna Maria was definitely not our first choice but after several conversations on the pros and cons of all areas in and around Sarasota we are now living the island life and loving it! We continue to stay in touch with Jody with all types of questions, personal and professional, and if she doesn't have an answer she sends us in the right direction. Jody is now assisting my wife's sister in purchasing a home and continues to go above and beyond with her professional service. We will never hesitate to recommend Jody and the entire Michael Saunders team. Our Sincere Thanks Kevin & Jill Parker
This is the second house we have bought through Jody and we were extremely pleased both times. We plan to list one of our houses with her in the next couple of months. We were transferred and consequently bought and sold houses all over the country during my career. Jody is, unquestionably, the most ethical and reliable Real Estate Agent we have ever dealt with. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase or sell a house in the Bradenton/Sarasota area.
Jody was absolutely amazing! This was our first home purchase. We were so happy working with her and we really appreciate the time she gave us and how patient she was with our questions. We enjoyed the process and we will definitely be recommending Jody Shinn!
Jody is an amazing, dedicated and dynamic person and Realtor. She has handled two home sales and two purchases for us all with very gratifying outcomes. We strongly recommend you consider Jody to assist with your real estate transactions.
We found our house the first day! We can't believe it. Everything just fell into place. There 's no pressure. Jody is our first friend in Bradenton. We felt lucky that she was our realtor.
Our experience working with Jody was a pleasure. We recently moved from the Northeast and Jody was very patient in showing us around and providing much needed education on the area. Jody was honest, detail orientated, easy to work with and she showed time and again that she was looking after our best interests. She always followed up on matters and did what she said she would do, which is rare these days. I particularly liked how Jody would find ways to add value to our relationship by providing her point of view in areas that we had not thought about. If we need a real estate agent again I will not hesitate to hire Jody (which I guess is the highest compliment I can provide). We now consider Jody a good friend.
Jody is an excellent realtor. She is professional and caring. I’ve used her to sell other properties before & I would definitely use her again.
Jody worked tirelessly to help me find the perfect home. She always made time for me with my work schedule to view all the homes I thought might be a good fit. There was never a time when she didn't work out a last minute appointment to view a property. Jody kept me out of trouble by always researching to be sure homes I wanted to see had work performed with permits, by professional companies, and any other possible issues. We settled on the perfect home for me, and she worked hard to be sure I got it as there were multiple bidders. All of her advice was spot on! She helped me arrange every aspect of buying my new home and made it painless and easy to do which was great with my demanding work schedule. I now have my dream house, and I love it. None of this would have been possible without Jody's hard work - she was nothing less than incredible!! It goes without saying I think that I would highly recommend Jody when it comes to finding your new home - you cannot find a better realtor to take care of you in every way. If there was a better rating then 5 stars, she would get at least 10! Thanks, Jody!!
I just discovered this testimonial page, thus the delay of 11 years in providing a testimonial. Jody Shinn is one superb agent. Wonderful personality, engendering trust. Easy to work with. Took her time in determining our wants and needs and showing the available properties. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking properties in the area. She is an absolute delight with whom to work.
With Jody as the professional steering the transaction for me, I knew that I would be given the highest customer service that there is. She has an eye for detail and great negotiation skills to close the deal. Her professionalism, care and diligence were at the table from beginning to the end. I would want her expertise for future real estate transactions.
Jody was there for us every step of the way. Any questions we had were answered promptly! It was our first time buying a house and it could not have a more enjoyable experience. We will be using Jody in the future for our real estate needs.
Jody helped us sell our house in a very challenging market. We learned to appreciate her ability to communicate issues and potential obstacles throughout the process. She was always available to answer our questions and handled communications very timely. Her expertise on real estate, especially our local market was extremely important to us. We highly recommend Jody as a realtor and plan to use her again in the future.
Jody was always pleasant not to mention extremely professional and competent. Most of all, she was always available to take even my most mundane questions with a cheerful attitude. Jody was usually the person to initiate communication as she continually kept us up to date on the progress of our transactions.
We are a couple from Europe, who bought another second home at Waterlefe, Bradenton, six years back. We have been using it during the winter seasons, arriving on a B2 Visa. This means that we can stay up to < 180 days pa, for 10 years. We decided to stay with Michael Saunders, who helped us to find the home, and got some recommendations for Jody Shin. But we met with two other real estate agents as well. Our first decision was to go for Jody. She seemed skilled and engaged, and does know the area, since she lives I Bradenton. We listed the home in the spring of 2019, but our intention was just to scan the market and plan for the sale, as we would get back in November. We were in no rush to sell and wanted to get into our new 180 day period, staying in Florida. But Jody convinced us, that would she find a buyer before this date, she would help us organize the preparation of the home, up to closing. And of course Jody Jody managed to find not one, but a couple a couple of interested buyers, as we were in Europe. We were still a bit hesitant in the beginning, but we decided to go for a sale. And now Jody helped us with sending documents from our home to Europe, opening up for service providers and movers. As We understand she offered a lot of similar help to the buyers as well. And as the final touch, she even brought our phone and internet devices back to Spectrum! Without the help of Jody, which must be considered far outside the “normal” service from a real estate agent, we wouldn’t have been able to meet the wish from the buyer, to close in August. Now we have got both a happy seller and we really hope, a happy buyer. All thanks to Jody. We can really recommend her and her team
Jody was very responsive and sensitive to our time schedule as well as what home we wanted. She was quick to respond to questions and requests. I would choose her again!
We have been fortunate enough to deal with Jody a number of times. She pays great attention to details and is in top of everything from beginning to end. We would recommend her to anyone.
Jody was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, thorough, and proactive. We could not have hoped for a more professional representative, while at the same time feeling like we were working with an old friend. We cannot say enough good things about Jody.
We were referred to Jody Shinn by another realtor who couldn’t find us anything in our price range. Jody found this wonderful Village Green area with darling homes, within our budget
