Michele Tanner & The Tanner Group

I encourage anyone seeking the best real estate agent in the Sarasota/Bradenton area to partner with Michele Tanner and her team. Her extensive knowledge of this market, coupled with her attention to detail and very strong negotiation skills are superb. My wife and I have bought and sold 9 homes in our lifetime, and she ranks as the best.

I highly recommend Michele for her professionalism, her ability to read a situation and to negotiate fairly with our interests in mind. She is one of Sarasota's Top Realtors, and a great person, too! This is the second home transaction we have had with Michele. What a delight to work with her. We found a dream home in just a few days of searching, and after negotiating our purchase price we had a contract in hand.

I worked with Michele to purchase our family home several years ago. She did a great job representing us and negotiating on our behalf. We also invest in real estate and working with her in that respect is always a pleasure as well. She's prompt and responsive whenever we need to see a property and also sends us investment opportunities. She brought us our last real estate deal, a property that wasn't on our radar, and we sold it last month, making a great profit. In that deal, she helped us negotiate and saved us thousands of dollars. Michele is also trustworthy, dependable, and a thoughtful person with a big heart...She organizes a fundraiser every year, providing hundreds of families with Thanksgiving meals. You can't go wrong working with Michele!

Didn't know they made them this great! Talk about the consummate professional. From start to finish, and even long after the sale we were the benefactors of Michele's integrity. This was the absolute best buying experience ever! We've owned 15 homes in the course of 42 years of marriage and have never had a better experience with a realtor. Professional, caring, ethical. Simply the best!

We relocated from California To Sarasota and had a wonderful experience with Michele Tanner. She was professional, warm, responsive and dedicated to finding us the perfect home in Sarasota. We couldn't have been happier with our experience with the Tanner Group. From start to finish Michele and her staff were on it. I would definite make The Tanner Group your first call for all your Real Estate needs in Sarasota!

Michele is a true gem in the real estate business. I met her at one of her listings that I wanted to take a look at and (after receiving 2 referrals for other agents to contact from friends) we decided to go with Michelle, based on my initial encounter with her. She's friendly, warm, easy to get along with and will go out of her way to help with any answers you need. She held our hand through the whole process....handled things that didn't necessarily need to be done by us, like getting a refrigerator repair person to come to the home we were in contract on...to make sure that everything was ok and do a small repair. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her....if you want someone to actually be your "friend" through and post the home buying process! WE LOVE MICHELE!!!!

Michele Tanner helped me to purchase my second home in Florida. She was a joy to work with. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a home in the Sarasota area. I trusted her and she made my dream of owning a vacation home in Florida come true

Michele showed great professionalism and poise helping us navigate a somewhat tricky sale of our home. She provided very helpful and practical advice before, during, and after the sale. Michele and her staff were amazing to work with.

What can we say about Michele & her team but WOW!! Just WOW! We started the journey to buy our dream home on the coast of Florida over 2 years ago and that's how we met Michele. I was reluctant to ask her to show us houses knowing we would not be ready for at least 2 years and did not want to waste her time, but she treated us like we were her only clients from our first meeting. For over 2 years she would send us houses and even go and look at them for us as we were in NY. When the time came to make an offer, she was incredible. Even in this red hot market we were able to buy at $300K below asking! (unheard of in 2021) We are real estate investors so this was not our first rodeo. Actually we have done hundreds of deals and worked with hundreds of agents so when we say she was great... it should mean something! We have a perspective most don't. She was terrific during negotiations, and more importantly though the entire process of buying our dream home. Closing week and closing day was a total mess because of our lender, but Michele stayed cool and calm (not so true for us!) She was the voice of reason and stayed by our side until it was done and beyond. She even parked us outside the title company office so when the docs were in we would not miss our chance to close that day! (Which happened after 5:00) and she even had celebratory drinks ready to roll! :-) Brilliant plan by Michele or the closing would not have happened that day and would have caused a total mess for all of us, but her smart thinking under pressure made it happen. We feel like we did not just find and agent, we made a new friend and will be forever grateful to Michele and for her help in buying our dream home. If you want the best....stop reading and reach out to her ASAP, you will be so happy that you did. I know we are. Thanks Michele! See you on the water!
