We could not have been more satisfied with the service provided by Rob Goldman and the Michael Saunders team. Rob was on top of all the details and provided guidance that led to the speedy sale of our home at a price that met our expectations. He also took charge of getting a contractor/handyman to remediate the issues that arose during the inspection. All in all, a great job!
When my husband Bob and I decided it was time to sell our home, we called Robert. He helped and guided us in first finding the right place to move to. He knew we were not in a position to prepare our home for sale and have showings while living there. I was adamant that I wanted to stay here in Venice, keep my friends and social life at Pelican. Rob found the perfect place for us, and our dog Rusty, at Jacaranda Trace, amenities, cost and size. So, not until we moved and got settled in our new apartment, did Rob ready our home for resale. He took care of everything with minimal interruption in our life, and our home went on the market. Unfortunately, Bob passed away a short time after we moved into our new apartment. I think Bob wanted to know that I’d be alright. Some time thereafter Rob approached me about Alan Adams, a legally blind Veteran and his young family that wanted our home. Bob was a Vet. When I heard his story I just knew that Bob would want them to have our house, that it was meant to be. We agreed on a price, timeline and conditions. Rob told me there would be many challenges to overcome. Rob laid them all out, but, he said if I was patient, he assured me that it would all work out. Well, there were challenges, Rob kept me informed all the way. He even said I could pull out at any time if it was too much, but I wouldn’t have any of it. It took a few months to get it all through, but it was worth it. My home is now sold to a wonderful and appreciative family. Rob handled all of this for both of us, tactfully and with great care and empathy. It all went through just as he said it would. I’m happy and I know Bob is happy, knowing that our effort made a difference. ---- Betty Hackmeister
I love Rob he IS the best!
I'm currently working with Mr. Goldman. Why? Intelligent, knowledgeable and straight talk. Period :)
My husband and I both bought and sold a home using Robert as our realtor. We appreciated his integrity and direction throughout the process and would recommend him to anyone.
Real Real After interviewing several Realtors my decision was to have Robt Goldman sell my house, He was very patient, knowledgeable and tolerant of my many questions. I'll highly recommend him to my friends and family.
Robert is the most knowledgeable realtor I have ever met. His life experience and his professional experience instill confidence that you are dealing with a person who is going to do what is right and what is right for you.
Robert led us, like we were a team of 4 & he was the project manager. His incredible wife Luisa was the 4th team member. Peter and I got the benefit of Robert’s experience, wisdom, and empathy, and we learned a lot. We’ve both bought and sold dozens of homes - never before with a consummate professional as Robert is. One of a kind. Deeply grateful, Margie & Peter
If you want to sell your house quick and hassle free, Rob Goldman is your man. If you want to find a home that exactly meets your criteria, Rob Goldman is your man. Rob is a real professional with years of experience. We decided to down size and asked Rob to find us a new home and to sell our existing house. Rob handled both ends. He found us a new home that fit our criteria exactly. When our existing house was put on the market it was sold at 100% of the asking price in 5 days. We are so glad that we asked Rob to be our agent, you will be also. Sal & Ingrid Trofi
I’m not sure I have the words to describe how blessed we were to have found Robert. His devotion to making sure we purchased the perfect home and price range for our family was second to none. What first drew me to Robert was his personality and integrity, then throughout the process of buying and selling I was lucky enough to see how caring he is. He went above and beyond For my family and I. I can not give a higher level of recommendation. You simply will not find another realtor who will genuinely look after what is best for you than Robert Goldman. Robert thank you for coming into our lives, everything you did for us, and for being such a light in the world. You are a blessing!
Linda and I are most grateful for the manner in which Robert quickly and efficiently brought to fruition the sale of our villa. Not only is he a most respected realtor, but also a classy gentleman, as evidenced from his generous gift to the MSC Foundation.
Rob and his wife toured our home before listing it. They gave us candid pointers on how to improve the "look and feel" of our home. We implemented their suggestions, and this helps us not only sell our house, but also simplified the move out process as well.
We had a very unique home to sell for the area and Robert provided recommendations as to how best prepare and market our home in order to find the largest audience. We really appreciated his knowledge, honesty and diligence in making our home sale come together.
Coming from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, my husband and I anticipated a very long search for our home in Florida; how wrong we were! Robert Goldman really LISTENED to our lengthy list of requirements and desires as we began our quest with him. On our third day of looking at houses, Robert said, "I have a house to show you which I think you will love." Within minutes of walking into this house, we knew we had found our home. I cannot stress enough how wonderful it is to work with such a consummate professional as Robert. Not only did he seem to read our minds, he also guided us through what can be an arduous experience. After negotiating with the seller to enable our purchase of the house, Robert was with us every step of the way-- from mortgage companies to inspectors to title companies--all the way to the closing, which, because of Robert, went like silk. Thank you Robert Goldman!!!
Rob Did a wonderful job of doing what had to be done to show the home at its best. If you want your home to bring its true market value and want it handled with a minimum of aggravation…list it with Rob and follow his suggestions.
I give permission to Robert Goldman,to proceed with the listing. The issues,we discussed,will be addressed , if needed.
We really appreciate everything that Robert did for us. Without his help I'm not sure we would have sold our home as quickly as we did. Robert must be an asset to Michael Saunders & Company. I will recommend your company to anyone I know who might be selling their home.
Robert, thank you so much for helping us buy our new home. We have been involved in a number of real estate transaction and we can truly say that there has never been a more comprehensive and timely responsive individual as yourself. Thank you Roy and Nancy
Has been very helpful and patient with me
I was impressed with how Rob helped us to solidify our preferences while he located several properties. Rob was very knowledgeable about the market to help us prepare a competitive offer, and he negotiated excellent terms on our behalf. One year later, I decided to search for a larger condo, and without hesitation, I called Rob. He helped us prepare an offer and successfully negotiated a sale. Rob went above and beyond in helping to allow us to close in two weeks. I listed our original property, and he quickly negotiated a very attractive deal, accomplishing the sale in a week, at more than a 20% gain in just one year. I can’t say enough about how critical Rob was for us to successfully complete all three transactions. His expertise and professionalism set an excellent example.
Expert guidance, unsurpassed experience, integrity, supreme competence, diligence… I don’t know what more you could ask for in a realtor. Robert Goldman brings all of these qualities to the table and then some. Simply put, he is the best of the best. James Keim
As good as the sale of my brother's house went which you handled in 2018, the knowledge and commitment of both of you brought about steady progress to a conclusion that was extraordinary in all elements of the sale of my house. You deliberated on what would be the best marketing strategy. That which you finally recommended resulted in one day on the market with several offers above the listing price. I don't have any more Venice houses to sell, but if I did, I would certainly want to have you and Louisa handle that sale too.
thank you for a nice thought, most welcome, Jay&Joyce Ohlsen
It was a true pleasure working with Robert on the sale of our home. He was very professional in all facets of the sale and the most efficient and knowledgeable Realtor I have met or dealt with. Roberts suggestions on pricing, staging and securing clients was on target and we were able to complete the transaction, start to finish, in about a month. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Venice area.
Thank you, Mr Goldman for your valuable insight and analysis of financial details of housing market in Sarasota area. We sincerely value your comments.
Robert's insight regarding the real estate market is of paramount importance when choosing a real estate agent. He is aware of all properties for sale which is invaluable when either pricing yours for sale or on the buying side. Clearly, he an asset if you are interested in buying or selling.
Dear Michael and Drayton Saunders, We want to personally recognize your firm, and Robert Goldman, the real estate professional on our recent home sale in Venice, Florida. Beginning in early March, Robert committed to help us sell our home, taking care to inform us of the intensity and competitiveness of the current real estate market.We listened carefully but will just as candidly admit that our previous 30 plus years' experience as home buyers and sellers did not prepare us for a maelstrom of housing markets, financial insecurity, and an intense need to make up for lost time due to the pandemic. Seemingly a perfect storm.Robert steered us through these "troubled waters''. His expertise and calm determination were instrumental in our now completed home sale in Venice. An unending stream of challenges throughout the process, ranged from a yet unexplained water turnoff (not due to our aging competence); guessing and fixing potential house and yard repairs that might be raised in inspections and walkthroughs; an inept, paper-based virtual closing by a buyer-side legal team(our proceeds' formal status ("the proverbial, the check is in the mail''). Robert was onsite asneeded, available, he utilized a trusted network of experts, and professionally managed via a prudent path, repeatedly. To his credit, seller-side escalation has been unnecessary. And, his negotiating skills and strategy for determining the appropriate list price to effect the highest sold price proved to be right on the mark. We want you and your leadership team to know of our admiration and respect for Robert, often advising us legally as an attorney, while simultaneously facilitating and mediating with a confident and professional demeanor. We have had no previous experience with this level of advice and counsel coupled with fast-paced problem solving. We are not conversant with your recognition programs, e.g., how the "at a- boy'' or "at t a-girl'' works, but our invaluable experience deserves your attention.Sincerely, Margie Farber & Peter Sykes
Thank you Robert for selling our home. Robert was very knowledgeable and professional. A pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him.
Rob and his wife Luisa were fantastic. They made home selling process so very easy for us. They helped every set of the way They helped coordinate with vendors to get the house ready for sale. The house was only on the market 24hours and we received 3 offers. We feel this was directly due to their attention our home. We are very grateful all their efforts. We would recommend them to anyone selling their home.
I can highly recommend Robert Goldman and his team for their professionalism, experience, knowledge, and dedication. Robert is deeply knowledgeable about the local market and up-to-date trends. His predictions as to potential buyer group and property price were spot on. The combination of skills as a realtor and real estate attorney made any legal communication and matters a quick and smooth eye-level conversation. Robert and his team were on time with all tasks, responded promptly to any communication, and used their experience to both drive the transaction forward and make the deal go through smoothly on the practical side. All promises were kept timely (quick readying of the property for sale, great photos and staging, swift listing, open house, professional transmission of offers with quick overview analysis) and they went above their duties to help in my case of an estate sale. I thank them very much and will recommend them to anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free buyer or seller experience.
Robert was the sellers agent in our purchase. His commitment to not only his clients concerns but both ours is what made this enjoyable experience. We did not know Robert until we met at our original walk thru but based on our experience he will be the only realtor that we will ever use in our future. Never have we dealt with someone who truly cared about making the experience enjoyable for both the buyer and the seller. We would strongly recommend Robert to anyone and everyone. 10+ out of 10 rating from the Wollaston’s. Thank you sir.
