Sarasota Homes Group

Fantastic experience: Bill & Cheryl McCue were amazing agents - professional, helpful, knowledgeable, effective negotiators, responsive, thoughtful - if you are planning to purchase in Florida, give Bill &Cheryl a call.

Fantastic experience: If you decide to move to Bradenton Fla i suggest using Sarasota homes as a real estate agent. They follow through if you are unable to be at your unit if a problem arises

Fantastic experience: If you’re in the market for an exceptional realtor, look no further than Lynne Reda at Sarasota Homes Group. Lynne went above and beyond the call of duty for us while we looked for an investment property. I am so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with her.

Fantastic experience: In looking to move to the Sarasota area, we found the greatest realtor(s) in Bill and Cheryl McCue. They were patient and attentive to our needs, showing us many homes to help zero in on what we truly wanted/needed, and helped us find our dream home. They were (and still are) great to work with. We would recommend them to anyone seeking a home in the Sarasota and surrounding communities. Thank you Bill and Cheryl !!!

Fantastic experience: et expectations and was easy to work with. We had to sell this house remotely, with one of us in CA and the other in NC as part of my Grandmother's estate. Bill and his team came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They did a video walk through of the house so we could understand all of the benefits and the problematic areas. He listed our options and worked with us to get this house sold in a short amount of time, yet getting the best price possible. The whole process went smoothly and quickly.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I discovered Sarasota Homes Group on-line about 3 years ago. Bill and Cheryl took us out on an exploratory trip to get to know the local real estate market better even though we were not ready to buy then. Since that trip Cheryl provided periodic updates on the local market. As a result we were quickly able to identify a home that met our requirements when we were ready to buy this fall. After signing a purchase agreement, Bill was very helpful working with the sellers to ensure everything went smoothly through closing. We would highly recommend them and use them again for any Sarasota area real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: We recently moved to Sarasota and utilized the services of Sarasota Homes, specifically Cheryl and Bill McCue. The McCue team did an excellent job of listening to what we were looking for, and then asking the right questions to take our search to the next level. They are very knowledgeable recommending the areas to view and builders to work with. And patient!! Took awhile to sell our home but once we were ready to go they shifted into high gear - end result was a home we are very happy with. Finding the home was one thing but knowing what to look for with a new home, what closing costs would be and having the right contacts to make everything run smoothly. Highly recommend this team!

Fantastic experience: I am a practicing real estate attorney in Colorado and needed help with the sale of my mother's home in Sarasota, Florida. Bill McCue and the Sarasota Homes Group were highly knowledgeable of the local market, highly attentive to our needs as a Seller, and committed from Day 1 of the listing through sale. Aside from the run-of-the-mill realtors who over-promise and who do more than flash and dash, if you need a realtor with the above requirements, look no further. Eric S.

Fantastic experience: We decided to work with Bill McCue based on a recommendation from a former neighbor. We are very happy we did. Bill is honest, trustworthy, hard working and nice! He was always willing to do the little things that were needed to make sure the house was well received by potential buyers. Both Bill and Cheryl were great to work with and I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Jamie is the best. She is very professional and organized. It was a true pleasure to work with her as we looked for our new home. She is always available and willing to help with any issues or problems that come up. We felt very comfortable in the time spent working with her. Sincere, nice, kind, friendly, that's Jamie.

Fantastic experience: You could not be in better hands than with Bill and Cheryl. They go way above and beyond to help find the right house for you. They are so knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate in Florida and they stay with you all the way through closing. I cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Bill and Cheryl are the ultimate professionals. They are so knowledgeable and kind. They really listen to what you want and help guide you through the home buying process. They are with you every step of the way. They are a dream team. I highly recommend them. They are the best!

Fantastic experience: Bill and Cheryl were a breeze to work with. The circumstances of the sale of the home was a little different than others. They were able to address all of our needs and sold the house very quickly. At closing some things came up, but they remedied the situation when they didn't have to. It is very refreshing to work with people who are honest, competent, and hard working. We definitely recommend them and would use them again in the future.

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough fabulous things about Bill and Cheryl. My husband and I were fortunate enough to learn about them from a longtime friend who highly recommends them. We had a lot of questions and Bill & Cheryl are super listeners. They know their stuff too. When we finally were able to make the trip down, they had a refined list of properties for us to see and absolutely nailed it. We found the perfect home and we had it under contract within 4 days of our visit! No major issues, helped us with some repair items, and set us up with an attorney that handled a 1031 exchange for us. What I liked best is they gave us their honest opinion which I really appreciated, we never felt as though they were selling to us…as a matter of fact, there were times they said they would not recommend an option we were seriously considering, and explained why which made sense. Their follow-up and communication were outstanding throughout, and that’s something we have learned is hard to find. I am so happy with the service that I will refer them to more family planning to move here later this year. Thank you Bill and Cheryl for a job well done! I highly recommend them

Fantastic experience: Candy did a great job in helping us find a new home and guiding us thru the process smoothly. We highly recommend her if you are buying or selling.

Fantastic experience: We began our search for a place to live and Candy became a valuable part of that search. She went out of her way to show us places that were in line with what we wanted and within our price range. Whenever a place became available, she was able to show us the properties quickly and at our time frame. We highly recommend engaging Candy to help you with your process in your home purchase.

Fantastic experience: Great realtors! Very informed and knowledgeable of the area. Very happy from beginning to close and even after we closed!

Fantastic experience: Candy is THE BEST!! My house sold on the first day on the market because of all the prep work done. Candy was there for me throughout the whole process including my yard sale. I give her 10 stars plus!

Fantastic experience: Bill and his group did an excellent job handling the purchase of our Club Home in Heritage Oaks

Fantastic experience: Cheryl and Bill worked with us to sell our condo on Siesta Key and found a special house for us in Palmer Ranch. We were lucky that after we left town, they were contacted about a home and thought of us right away. Very professional and no pressure sales which we appreciated a great deal. Would not have any hesitation in highly recommending them without reservation whether selling OR buying!

Fantastic experience: Bills knowledge and expertise always makes the closing process smooth. He goes above and beyond for all his clients. I’ve enjoyed working with him for the past 3 years and would highly recommend him and his team!

Fantastic experience: Candy, we cannot even begin to thank you for all you have done for us. You were there every step of the way and went above and beyond what was required. Your calming and reassuring presence is a gift that seperates you from the rest. Thank you for finding our new home! Thank you for listened to us and caring about even the smallest details and concerns. We are grateful and so blessed to have found you.

We are from the midwest and were looking for someone with deep knowledge of the Sarasota area , some one we could rely on and trust. They exceeded on all fronts and would highly recommend them for your home or condo purchase. True professionals are hard to find, give them a call you wont regret it.

Fantastic experience: Bill and Cheryl were an absolute pleasure to work with. They found us our perfect home. We were looking at a house and decided to go through another home in the same Community. We did not have an appointment for this particular listing and were under a tight time schedule. Bill made some phone calls and he was able to get in. We loved the house, put in an offer and it was accepted. We couldn't be happier. Bill and Cheryl are professional, helpful and quick to respond to our questions. We felt well taken care of and we are grateful for all the hard work and dedication they have displayed. For a team that will go above and beyond the "call of duty", I would highly recommend Bill & Cheryl McCue and Team!

To top it off, he's a great guy in general! This made the experience effortless. He's won my business. I'll go back for any other property interest.

Fantastic experience: Working with Samantha to find our perfect Florida home was a true pleasure. We live in Boston which required most of our communications to occur via text and email. Samantha was always generous with her time and responded quickly to all of our questions and concerns. She was instrumental in helping us find and purchase our new condo in a beautiful golf course community. We highly recommend Samantha!

Fantastic experience: Made our home search so much easier. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Candy is the best,she good at what she’s doing,she gets the job done,l recommend her too anyone selling their house,thanks again Candy

Fantastic experience: Judi Dunn is a great person to work with. She was always willing to discuss our questions and concerns about different properties we had questions about since our property search was long distance while we were still up north. When we found the particular house we were interested in, Judi made herself available to us for an entire day to look at it as well as other properties. Then when the house was under contract, Judi guided us through all of the negotiations necessary to take us to the point of closing. At times this entailed pressing the other realtor to make sure all the issues were resolved. If and when it is necessary for us to move out of our home, we will definitely contact Judi to represent us again! She’s the best!

Fantastic experience: Bill and Cheryl McCue are by far the best realtors that we have ever worked with. They not only helped us sell our existing home, they also helped us purchase our first new construction home - we couldn't have done it without them! Their knowledge of the area and experience with local and national builders was key to a successful closing on both homes. They stuck with us through the entire process and exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend the McCue team! Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Judi Dunn of Bright Realty was professional, courteous and friendly. She was able to guide us through the hurdles of buying our new home and stayed patient with us and our questions and concerns.

Fantastic experience: Judi Dunn is a knowledgeable and experienced realtor. She guided me through the whole process of selling my lot. I highly recommend Judi if you are looking for a realtor in the Sarasota area.

Fantastic experience: What a pleasure Bill is to work with. We met Bill two years ago, when we were very casually considering investing in a Sarasota property. Covid hit and we put all on the back-burner. Fast forward to this past summer whereby an immediate need arose for a property. Bill worked swiftly, diligently and with the utmost patience and flexibility to accommodate both our needs and schedule. Throwing a variety of variables his way, Bill identified a number of properties, the majority of which suited our needs. We secured a property in no time and are most delighted with the end result. Moreover, Bill was thorough, detailed and was eager to please. With friends and family thinking of making a similar move, we will undoubtedly send them in Bill's direction.

Fantastic experience: Bill was a delight to work with. Very professional. Got everything done in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: We met Bill McCue when we were searching for a condo in Siesta Key. We are Canadian citizens and were not certain of the issues we might face when purchasing a seasonal property in Florida. Bill is very affable and patiently stepped us through all of the issues we should be aware of from the initial showing, to the offer, the negotiations and then to the closing. He provided guidance and suggestions about even the smallest details which we inquired about, and there were many I can assure you. We felt very confident through the entire process and are very satisfied with the outcome of our purchase. It was a pleasure to deal with Bill who was very professional, knowledgeable and kept us informed during every part of the buying process. We would highly recommend Bill McCue based on our positive experience. Larry and Betty McFadden

Fantastic experience: Bill is probably the best realtor we've ever worked with, having purchased 3 homes prior. My wife and I were looking for a 2nd home in a crazy seller's market and Bill found a way to make things work for us within our price range. His attention to detail, thoroughness and professionalism were 2nd to none. He answers questions to the best of his ability, and if he doesn't know it, will go find the answer - no stone is left unturned! He makes himself available and somehow does it all in a friendly, professional way. He truly wants his clients to be successful, and in turn it makes him successful. Kudos to a remarkable customer service experience !

Fantastic experience: Our experience working with Candy Genot of Bright Realty in finding and purchasing a seasonal home in the Sarasota area was exceptional. Finding a house remotely is challenging, and even more so in a sellers' market. Candy found many listings for us to consider remotely and refined the search to suit what we were looking for. We eventually made a trip to Sarasota intending to focus on a particular area that seemed appealing from the listings. Candy had lined up multiple viewings, but when we started touring them, we soon realized that the “feel” of the area wasn't a fit. Based on our comments, Candy pivoted to another community and in less than an hour had lined up several viewings. We found a place that we liked, and, with Candy’s coaching, made a successful offer. She recommended an escrow office and inspection company that both delivered great results. Throughout the process Candy was professional, personable, accommodating, positive and energetic. If you’re looking for a realtor in the Sarasota area, make Candy Genot at Bright Realty your first call.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Bill. He was so helpful in the purchase of my home. He is so knowledgeable and personable, easy to work with, and very responsive to any calls or questions. His wife, Cheryl, was also great to work with. She even attended my walk-through and noticed things that I missed! I love my new home, but if I ever decide to move again, I will definitely be calling Bill.

Fantastic experience: Bill was recommended to me by a friend and he was as good as she said. He is very professional and goal oriented but in a friendly easygoing manner. He handled the marketing, sale and closing while keeping me informed at every step. No need to prod and no surprises. I have bought and sold a lot of properties and Bill is the best agent that I have worked with.

Fantastic experience: Bill McCue was very helpful during the entire process. He was very responsive & made the experience a pleasure. We look forward to working with him again in the future!

Fantastic experience: We were looking for a second home in Sarasota and picked Bill's group randomly to help us with our search. After sending an inquiry email, I received a resoponse from Bill McCue that he or someone in his group would be reaching out to us shortly. Sure enough, a few hours later we received a personalized video from Candy Genot, who works with Bill, introducing herself and offering their services to help. We have been working now with Candy almost a month, and we have found a place to purchase. On a recent visit she tirelessly drove us around to look at properties and provided her expertise advice. She also is available to talk or email at any time we've asked. She has been nothing short of awesome! Since we picked a new construction home we will be dealing with her over the next few months as we progress through the building process and I can say we honestly look forward to it. Candy and her team have been nothing but incredible and we are glad we found her. Oh, and I must not forget to mention that Candy personally is such a kind, caring and wonderful person. We really are lucky.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Bill McCue to assist with all your real estate needs. I'm a licensed Real Estate Broker Associate myself and asked Bill to handle listing of my personal home. Need I say more?

Fantastic experience: It is a pleasure working with Bill. He is so amazing working on all the details, and there are a million, of a sale. We could not have made this move without his expertise. He walked us through the offer process, escrow, inspection, closing. He's a tremendous problem solver! Bill and his wife Cheryl have even gone so far as to help with renovation ideas and suggestions. It's so hard to put into words how extremely happy my wife and I are with Bill and Cheryl regarding this sale. You will never find a more dedicated, knowledgable, and patient realtor who puts in a lot of extra time to make sure everything goes smoothly. I would give my very highest rating to Bill, and I would recommend him for any real estate transaction. If we need any real estate services in the future, we would go to Bill every time!

Fantastic experience: Bill is professional, experienced and level headed. It was a treat working with Bill when we needed to work through multiple addendums from the opposite party. Through his experience he navigated these issues and all worked well East to work with, knows his market, experienced in the process and documents. I highly recommend Bill and Bright Realty

Fantastic experience: Bill is AMAZING. Bill (often accompanied by his equally amazing real estate wife, Cheryl) went above and beyond our expectations. We've gone through the home buying and selling process before, and we didn't even realize what we were missing until we met Bill. He advocated for us and advised us as if we were family. He is more concerned with his clients finding the house that they absolutely love, as opposed to quickly securing a paycheck. He'll point out relevant issues in a house that you hadn't noticed before (using his expertise to help guide decisions). Do yourself a favor, and choose Bill to help you with your home-buying needs.

Fantastic experience: Bill and Glenn were such a great resource to rely on. As a long distance seller I was dreading the process but selling was a breeze! It all went smoothly and quickly thanks to these two guys. I'm so glad for their help every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: We wholeheartedly recommend Bill McCue, the realtor who helped us find our new home. He stuck with us patiently through COVID delays from January 2020, when we first met, until we closed in mid-September of 2021. Unfortunately, we didn’t keep up our search at the same level for the first year and a half and found ourselves in a terrible market for buyers this past summer. Bill remained patient, cheerful and encouraging throughout the ups and downs of our experience. He gave us helpful information about the market, about Florida law and insurance, even horticultural tips for northerners. Everything he suggested or told us was accurate, but he never pushed us toward any particular decision. Bill has continued to be a valuable resource for suggestions about various services in the area since we moved into our house. We are glad to have the search behind us and appreciate Bill’s role in getting us here.

Fantastic experience: I could not compliment Bill enough on his guidance and attentiveness to this process. I did not know many of the things needed successfully navigate the process and came out way ahead as a direct result of listening to Bill. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently worked with Bill McCue of Bright Realty to help us find the perfect second home in Sarasota, FL. Given the current crazy housing market, we were unsure we would find anything within our budget. Bill listened carefully to our wish list, showed us several good options and then was able to negotiate a price we were comfortable with. He is an excellent negotiator! We would highly recommend Bill and his team.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Bill McCue as a selling or buying agent. It is immediately evident that he has dealt with a lot of different transactions, as he instinctively knows the direction to take with listing, pricing, and showings. He is patient and works well with his clients. Although very busy, he never seems rushed. He spent a lot of time helping me through my questions and concerns. I have purchased 5 homes in my life and sold 3. I will say, without question, that this sale was the smoothest transaction to date; largely due to Bill's communication with me and with the buyer's agent. Plus, we sealed the deal with me 1300 miles away. You will not regret having Bill as your agent. Thanks again! KC - Sarasota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado, California.

Fantastic experience: My Strongest Recommendation Finding Bill to serve as our agent for our Sarasota area real estate search was a stroke of very good fortune. Starting with out of state telecoms and then advancing to on-site listing visits, Bill was able to guide us through a difficult and dynamic time in the Florida Real Estate market. With consistent positive attitude, good humor and professionalism he helped us respond successfully to issues of demand ever tightening inventory. Always willing to go the extra mile, he so impressed with his efforts and expertise that we will recommend him ,without reservation, to all our friends inclined to a move south. Thank you Bill.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Bill when I was ready to put my house on the market, from the detailed market analysis to the day of the final closing, Bill is with you all the way. I could not ask for a better agent.

Fantastic experience: Bill McCue is simply the best Our experience selling our property on Anna Maria Island was beyond challenging and the only way we got through it was having Bill as our agent. The experience with we had was that of a difficult buyer who ultimately walked away. This was frustrating to say the least BUT Bill had the keen foresight to secure a large down payment that we fortunately got to keep when the buyer decided to walk away. Within a week we had the property relisted and under contract. Bill's communication and straight forward plan of attack carried us through selling our home. Bill is easy to talk to, strategic, personable and the kind of man you want to be your representative. Bill is an excellent agent and I would highly suggest his expertise for all your buying and selling needs.

Fantastic experience: BillMcCue went the extra mile to help us find a home in Florida and help us throughout the entire process. This, made even more challenging during Covid-19. Friendly, responsive, professional, a dream to work with.

Fantastic experience: Bill did an awesome job from beginning to end. He's very knowledgeable about new construction communities, and made the process much easier for us. He came highly recommended to me, so I called him. It was a great decision, and I will highly recommend Bill to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Bill was an absolute pleasure to work with and he gets our highest recommendations. He was a great communicator - kept us informed and was with us every step of the way. We've worked with almost 10 Realtors over the years (buying and selling) and our experience with Bill is by far the best!

Fantastic experience: Bill McCue and his team are top-notch agents who are very knowledgeable, hard-working, and trustworthy. Not only are they excellent Agents, but they are also very GOOD people!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I recently bought a house that Bill had listed in Venice Florida. We were not represented by a realtor, but Bill was able to be an advocate for the sellers and still respect our position. Bill got us into the property on two hours notice, prepared an offer on site, and negotiated an acceptance all within six hours! Then Bill expedited the closing process so that we could close 17 days after our offer was accepted. We couldn't imagine a more flawless experience.
