Keller Williams Island Life Real Estate

Fantastic experience: Thomas was with us every step of the way. He was responsive to my million and one question, was always timely or notified us if he was running late, and made the process easy to understand. Great service!

Fantastic experience: We absolutely loved working with Cindy Adams. From the start she answered emails, texts and phone calls immediately! She is the most patient, knowledgeable and truly caring realtor! She builds a relationship with you NOT a sales driven realtor! We put this poor woman thru 3 months of daily conversation and us flip flopping back and forth (on our part ) because we couldn’t make a decision on new or pre owned! Cindy met us with grace and calmness nothing was a problem to her!!! She literally dropped everything to be at our Beck n call with zero hesitations! We looked at probably over 50 homes some late at night after spending 3 entire days with us! That being said we flew down 3 times in 30 days and Cindy spent all day everyday with us!! She is absolutely amazing and everyone should get to experience such an easy amazing experience as we did! We did buy a house and she made it easy, honest, fun and enjoyable thank you so much Cindy you truly are a blessing and a breath of fresh air! We have enjoyed every step of the relocation process!!

Negative experience: I wanted to buy a lot in North Port, so I reached out to an agent, Ronald Smith, on Zillow. Of course, I never got a reply, so the next day I messaged him on WhatsApp. He answered without even a simple “hello,” came off rude, and then cut off contact. The following day I followed up on my question, and he told me the lot was already pending. I commented that if he had answered me the day before, I would’ve been the first to decide. He rudely replied that I wouldn’t have taken the lot anyway. I was honestly shocked, because it’s the first time I’ve ever heard such a disrespectful response from a real estate agent. I reported the matter to KW’s main office.

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to work alongside Michael Herschberger on a recent home purchase where I handled the financing for the buyer. His collaborative spirit, clear communication, and professionalism made for a very smooth closing experience. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Most unprofessional real estate agent I have ever dealt with. Had a pre arranged condo showing appointment with Anneliese Morris on 8-30-2025 at 2 PM. This was set on Friday 8-29 for the next day. She knew I would be driving 3 & 1/2 hours just to get to the appointment in Rotonda West. At 10:18 AM while on the way I texted the 2 PM arrival time, no reply. Again at 1 PM I texted that I was 30 minutes out but would wait for her there until 2, no reply. Called her @ 1:58 to confirm she's on the way, no answer. At 2:18 I called 3 times in a row, no answer each time. Called the listing agent, Nicole Mantha, direct, 4 times after that. No answer each time and she hung up on me. This was outrageous. Finally she texted me that another agent would show up to open the property. Oh great, that's the way they treat buyers - I don't need them.

Fantastic experience: Michael Aveni went above and beyond for us through our entire purchasing process. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and patient with us as first time home buyers. Thank you Mike!

Fantastic experience: I’ve known John Michailidis for the last year. He is a very trustworthy and professional real estate agent . If you are looking to buy or sell a home I would highly recommend him. If you need an agent he will take great care of you and get the job done. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kennedy Lawton as my technical trainer at Keller Williams, and I can’t recommend her enough! As someone who’s not particularly tech-savvy, Kennedy makes everything so much easier to understand. Her training style is clear, patient, and incredibly detailed. Whether it’s learning to navigate KW Command, mastering CRM tools, or understanding marketing platforms, Kennedy always provides relevant, real-world examples that help me see how to apply these tools in your day-to-day work Kennedy is always available for follow-up questions, and you can tell she genuinely cares about helping you succeed. If you’re a Keller Williams agent looking to level up your tech skills, Kennedy is the person to go to!

Fantastic experience: Our father passed away recently and we found ourselves in the unfortunate position of settling his affairs along with the sell of his home. While we were emotional and stressed about selling our father's home in Florida remotely from our home in Texas, Omar Shehaiber provided support beyond just the transaction. He stayed connected and was incredibly communicative. He promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. He ensured the house was clean and ready for viewing and even coordinated with reliable moving services to help remove the last furnishings so we didn't have to travel back again for closing. His expertise in the Punta Gorda market was evident from our first meeting. He provided a detailed analysis of market trends, helping us understand the best time to sell. We were also impressed by Omar's negotiation skills while juggling multiple offers and even managing to get our asking price within a few short weeks. His strategy during the negotiation phase was impressive, as he leveraged his market knowledge to our advantage. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Omar Shehaiber. His dedication to our satisfaction was evident in how he went out of his way to accommodate our schedule and provide honest advice on property values. His professionalism and reliability were fundamental qualities we were seeking in an agent to ensure a smooth and successful selling process. We were fortunate to find that and more with Omar.

Fantastic experience: We recently purchased a home with Amy Daneman and, without a doubt, we couldn't have asked for a better agent!! 10/10 recommend. She was highly professional, proactive, and truly a kind and lovely person. Her organization, dedication and advocacy for us as first time home buyers made the entire process smooth as can be. She counseled us on tricky situations and helped us move forward gracefully (& promptly) to closing. There was no stone left unturned and we felt informed and confident in our decision making throughout our contract. We highly recommend Amy Daneman at Keller Williams Island life. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Fantastic experience: great location... many agents on duty to assist. nice office.

Fantastic experience: I cant say enough good things about being a part of KWILRE, even if its somewhat indirect. My husband is an agent and I joined him in the business managing operations and marketing for him. To be a realtor with any brokerage can be quite an adjustment and hopefully for the better, however joining KWILRE changed our lives and they couldn’t be more amazing! People hear the words company culture and their thoughts hit the snooze button, but not here!! The leadership is beyond compare when it comes to living true its values and goals. I have never experienced more people positively and genuinely supporting one another, sharing knowledge, and helping each other win! Theres a phrase that successful people are always looking for ways to help others -thats 100% at KWILRE, and being in the real estate business thats what its all about! Helping others! I am so grateful to my husband for having picked to join this brokerage!

Fantastic experience: You always deserve 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and super personable realtors that go above and beyond to help their clients.

Negative experience: BEWARE! SEAN SEWARD is the worst. I called to inquire about a property for sale. Sean was very unprofessional and seemed irritated with my questions. I was prepared to pay cash for the property but because of his behavior and they way he treated me, I will be taking my money somewhere else. Do not list your property with him, he does not have the seller's best interest at heart.

Negative experience: Sean Seward is a jerk. Called to inquire about a property. He said “I can’t tell you anything.” I was quite surprised at this response. I asked: “So okay how do I get some information, who do I contact?” And was told: “I don’t know. I don’t know anything about it. We just want to sell it.” Well Sean, way to sell! Great job making a future customer and cultivating a good reputation for Keller Williams as a company. Little known to Sean, I was actually interested in 3 properties and if I can still procure this one lot without him making a cent, I’ll do so immediately. Otherwise, I’ll be sure not to attempt business with him or KW in the future.

Fantastic experience: I was extremely well received and I believe will have great luck who has the opportunity to negotiate the purchase or sale of a property with Michelle! She is professional and deep knowledgeable of the real estate market!

Fantastic experience: Love!! Great people working there.

Fantastic experience: Cole Murray and his team are the finest professionals anyone can hope to sell their home. Cole especially went above and beyond on multiple occasions. Thank you Cole we are forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: Great people very nice and professionals.

Fantastic experience: Liz Kooymans was very helpful and knowledgeable from the get go. After my first phone call with her, I knew she was the right agent to go with. She is very detailed, thorough, and good in communication. She answered all our questions and much more, and went out of her way to explain things clearly. She even video chatted us the property as we weren't able to be there in person, and that's above and beyond service for me. I definitely recommend her as your next real estate agent! Thanks Liz!!!

Fantastic experience: We referred Jennifer England and Duston Bloom to our aunt and uncle who are moving to Venice, Florida from out of state. They had a limited time to fly in and find their new home. The service they received from Jennifer and Duston was outstanding. My aunt, who has very high standards when it comes to service and professionalism, could not stop speaking about how organized they were and about the extent of their knowledge about Real Estate.

Negative experience: Group has some very unprofessional and rude Relators, Unfamiliar with 1 Million plus Homes, They should concentrate on selling Trailer Park Homes like they were raised in.

Fantastic experience: Wow! Keller Williams has it all in house when you want to one stop shop or sell. The agents are in the know, and ready to work for you. Meet the staff at Island Life Realty, and have Customer assurance to ease your mind.

Fantastic experience: Dustin and Jennifer were great to work with. They were considerate of our time, needs, and wants. They provided quality time in helping us find our new home. We greatly appreciate everything you guys did to help us. We highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Working with Jennifer England was a pleasure, she was always available and responsive for whatever I needed. During these troubling times we were able to close the property in 28 days from the time of starting the mortgage process. I would highly recommend Jennifer for your real-estate needs RDS

Fantastic experience: A great and knowledgeable group of Realtors here in southwest, Florida!

Fantastic experience: Best realtors in SW Florida.

Fantastic experience: Tina and Dane Renta have been our agent since we started looking to buy our first house in Sarasota. They are above all expectations of great. There customer service skills are so very personable. Anytime day or night they are available for us. We have researched many houses and they support every venture. They check in with us everyday to make sure we are well and if there anything they can help us out with. Rating them a five, in our meetings they are definitely a ten. Have and will recommend them to all my friends and family.

Negative experience: Terrible service!! Agent would not listen to us on offer. Basically wrote what he wanted and argued us on everything. Had no VA knowledge. Terrible communication. Bad contract writing and wanted us to sign with blanks. Also wanted earnest deposit before offer was agreed on. Be very cautious when considering this group. We have to start all over with very little trust in agents after this terrible experience.
