Thank you to Ann Martin and Joanna Benante for their professionalism, care, and concern for us as both buyers and sellers during our most recent move here to Sarasota. There are not enough superlatives in the language to describe Ann's abilities to help navigate one through the maze. She was able to answer every possible question and to guide us in what to ask that we needed to know but didn't know we did. On the purchase side, she interfaced with the builder effectively and got all our needs taken care of. As a seller, she was able to help us get the final touches on the old property with her excellent referrals and to get us a speedy sale at a fantastic price. She is a superstar! Best of all Ann approaches everything with the calm confidence and warm humor that is her trademark.

We have been working with Ann and Joanna since 2006. We were impressed then with their work ethics and professionalism, and through the years of many transactions connected with buying and selling properties, those attributes are still their priorities. Their dedication to the client’s objectives always comes first, and the willingness to overcome any obstacle with optimism and perseverance is pursued with a smile and a “can do” spirit. Those qualities and their real estate knowledge and competency instill trust and comfort. We have referred many friends and associates over the years with the confidence that Ann and Joanna will conscientiously strive to accomplish everyone’s goal.
Working with Joanna - she is absolutely an Expert in Sarasota; classy, professional, articulate, knowledgeable, and very generous with her time and patience - uncompromising in her service in making sure that her clients find exactly the right fit for their real estate needs. When partnering in real estate in the Sarasota area, I know Joanna will give 5-star service.
Ann Martin is an absolute winner on your team. Please give her the recognition she deserves, absolutely outstanding in every way. Thanks for a great buying experience.
We had the distinct pleasure of working with Joanna Benante for both the sale of our family home and the purchase of our new property. During the sale of our house, Joanna continuously exhibited a clear ‘can do’ attitude. She did such an outstanding marketing job on our property, that we had a record amount of showings. Joanna also navigated a difficult buyer with finesse and strength. We ended up packing our home of 18 years over a quick window of time. We were feverishly working to complete the inspection items and simultaneously packing with a child sick with the flu. The movers accidentally removed a Murphy bed in such a way that a wall was left exposed with old paint lines. Joanna immediately jumped in, picked up the paint for the room from the store, and painted the wall herself for us. It’s this kind of dedication and support that sets an exceptional real estate agent, like Joanna…
We had the distinct pleasure of working with Joanna Benante for both the sale of our family home and the purchase of our new property. During the sale of our house, Joanna continuously exhibited a clear ‘can do’ attitude. She did such an outstanding marketing job on our property, that we had a record amount of showings. Joanna also navigated a difficult buyer with finesse and strength. We ended up packing our home of 18 years over a quick window of time. We were feverishly working to complete the inspection items and simultaneously packing with a child sick with the flu. The movers accidentally removed a Murphy bed in such a way that a wall was left exposed with old paint lines. Joanna immediately jumped in, picked up the paint for the room from the store, and painted the wall herself for us. It’s this kind of dedication and support that sets an exceptional real estate agent, like Joanna Benante, apart from all the rest! Our buying transaction was unique in two ways. Firstly, the buyers included four people: my parents, my husband, and myself. Because my parents are declining in health, we wanted to live on the same property together to be able to assist them. Thus, we were looking for a multi-generational property that had a main home for our family of six, and a separate home for my parents. We originally assumed that Sarasota, with its large retirement and senior population, would be replete with multi-generational options. We were surprised to learn just how difficult it was to find such a rare property. From the beginning, Joanna worked diligently scouring the area for possible solutions. I can assure you that dealing concurrently with 4 buyers with varying desires and living requirements was not easy. Yet Joanna took it all in stride and repeatedly came up with interesting property choices. Joanna worked tirelessly and showed us countless properties. It was tough to satisfy all four buyers’ wish lists. We were ready to conclude that the timing simply wasn’t right; a multi-generational property like we envisioned just wasn’t available on the market at that time. Joanna, however, was undaunted. Joanna knew about a property that would be perfect for our unique situation. The only problem was that it was not on the market at that time. No bother, Joanna reached out and convinced the owners and their agent, who had taken the property off the market months prior, to let us see it. Thanks to Joanna’s unwavering resolve and determination, we were able to purchase the property that suited our special needs! We were impressed with Joanna’s ceaseless drive and commitment to finding her clients ‘dream property’ no matter the challenges. Joanna’s work ethic and professional and firm demeanor make her a true force to reckon with. After completing two back-to-back real estate transactions with Joanna, we can confidently state that she represented our interests with outstanding service and expertise. We highly recommend Joanna to anyone that is serious about successfully buying and selling their home in a competitive market.
Having worked with Ann Martin on a few real estate transactions; I highly recommend Ann Martin for her professional expertise in current real estate trends, as well as Ann's excellent knowledge of the Sarasota area. A pleasure to work with, Ann is dedicated to meet your real estate needs.
My husband and I were unfamiliar with Sarasota when we first started to look for a home. Joanna was highly recommended to us by a friend and she was more than happy to devote two full days to not only show us homes in Sarasota but to familiarize us with the different neighborhoods. Joanna was able to make some excellent recommendations based on our wish list. Over the next two years, we made a few trips to the area and finally found the house that was right for us. Joanna listened to our needs and did not waste our time on houses that did not meet our minimum requirements. At times we were ready to give up but Joanna continued to share the latest listings and make suggestions. While in the area, Joanna was always willing to offer suggestions for restaurants and recreational activities. I don't think this was part of her job description but it shows how nice a person she is and how passio…

It was Joanna's introduction and never-ending energy and commitment that we were able to make a decision to live in Sarasota and make a solid financial investment. For anyone looking in the Sarasota area, Joanna is devoted to delivering excellent service.

We recently sold our home in less than 2 weeks. Ann Martin was our agent; we were very impressed with her dedication to selling our house and bringing in people who were serious buyers. The people who she had working with her were all very professional. We would recommend her and your company to anyone who wanted to sell their home.
Joanna was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was patient and is truly an expert in her market area!

Ann Martin and Joanna Benante are two very special people. I cannot tell you how much Ann and Joanna did to help facilitate the short sale of our home. They spent many hours making the deal happen. They are the most professional real estate advisor I have ever met. They are real people, they can deal with every kind of client, are willing to assist in every sale no matter how large or small.
Joanna is fantastic! We contacted her out of the blue looking for a house. We were in town for 1 week and Joanna gave us most of her time to help us. (Only spent time away from us on her previous commitments). We left Sarasota with a fantastic house in one week. She gave us great advice on bids and I am sure she saved us money. We are now in the process of bidding on another house and she is once again giving us her time and wonderful advice. We could not ask for a more involved and conscientious Realtor® to help us with these very important purchases.
Ann is an exceptional Realtor® that has a vast network of resources, contacts, and transaction history. She typically knows the long-term history of select areas, buildings, and individual properties. Not only does she strategically represent her clients but she has lived-in and invested-in the Sarasota and its beach area for decades. Finally, if you want a hard-working, action-oriented Realtor® that is responding to your emails at 6am, midnight, and works on weekends, Ann is your agent.
When you are selling your home, it's all about the details. Joanna Benante has an expert eye for details and made our house "pop" in photos, in person, and by description. She was a team player who kept all the balls in the air and always followed through. Joanna gave honest feedback and was committed to doing her best for us. We could not have asked for more.
Joanna was an absolute pleasure to work with in purchasing our home! She was very patient with our numerous changing needs and the unexpected challenges we faced during the process. Her honesty and professionalism will always be remembered and appreciated. I will highly recommend her to everyone we know who is looking to purchase or sell their home.
