Having been a resident of the Sarasota/Bradenton area for over 25 years, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to not only call this vibrant community home but also to work in its thriving real estate market. With a background in sales, marketing, and public relations, it was only natural for me to combine my skills with my passion for real estate. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including primary homeowners, vacation home purchasers, and investors, all with the shared goal of property ownership in the beautiful Sarasota area. Personally, my favorite part of this business is the satisfaction that comes from successfully achieving my clients goals and creating lifelong relationships. As a parent raising my two children in East Manatee County, I have firsthand experience with the local school system, housing options, and services. I can empathize with families who are seeking a high-quality lifestyle in an area that offers a wide variety of housing choices, excellent schools, and an abundance of activities. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a luxury buyer, a retiree, or an investor, this area has an abundance of fantastic properties that will satisfy those seeking the Florida lifestyle. In my personal life, I cherish spending time with my family and friends. I also prioritize health and fitness, as I am a certified holistic health coach. You can often find me enjoying breathtaking sunsets at the beach, indulging in a good book, or exploring new destinations through travel. As your real estate agent, I am committed to providing you with the utmost professionalism and expertise, while also maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor. I understand that buying or selling a home is not just a financial transaction, but a deeply personal and emotional journey. It would be my honor to guide and support you every step of the way, ensuring that your real estate experience is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Let's make your real estate goals a reality together.

Mary Michael assisted us in both selling our home and buying a new one. Her hard work in both cases achieved great results. Most admirably, she keeps pushing to get the best possible outcome even when it looks like things might be going south. She is a true professional and we would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a residence.

Mary Michael was everything I could have asked for in making my home buying process smooth. I was a first time home buyer and felt clueless when it came to the entire process. She made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions often without me even having to ask. I was in a time crunch to get out of my rental and she was able to negotiate a quick close to accommodate me. She is awesome to say the least! I would absolutely recommend Mary Michael to anyone thinking of buying a home, or wondering if it?s something you can do.

Searched website for real estate in the Sarasota/Bradenton area beginning 4 years ago. At that time 4 real estate agents reached out to me. Mary Michael was patient, answered questions, kept in touch periodically for 4 years. One other agent reached out twice . The other two, just once contacted me, and put me on their email list of homes for sale with very little or no personal reach out after initial call. Mary Michael was the most attentive and patient over the years. The first house I put a contract on had mold situations found after inspection. I backed out. Mary MIchael helped me with this process. The 2nd house chosen was the one I purchased. She guided me to what price I should offer. She guided me through various inspections for both houses. She showed me houses of specific interest and did not waste my time. She knew what I wanted in a home. She maneuvered through various situations and gave me additional guidance. I feel that I got my moneys worth working with Mary Michael. Shes the greatest. I hope she is still around if I ever decide to sell this house. Trustworthy, accessible, knowledgeable are excellent plus characteristics. Mary Michael was my only contact. She was on it for everything that I needed. Excellent experience. Mary Michael did her job to the best of her ability.

Mary Micheal helped my wife and I find an extremely unique type of property. We were looking for a log cabin on 5 acres, yes a log cabin in FL. Mary Micheal found a home the moment it was listed and because of her quick actions we were the first ones to see the property and had a bid on it in hours! And now we have our dream log cabin second home. If she could find us this type of property, she can surely find your dream home!

It was important for us to work with someone who was trustworthy, responsive and a great communicator - Mary had all these traits. Mary even helped coordinate some of the little things for us to prepare our home to be listed. Mary provided us with an excellent experience and was very professional in all our interactions. We would highly recommend Mary for your real estate needs.

Ms. Martin has been our real estate professional from the very beginning. She was our agent in the purchase and sale of home in Bradenton, Florida and really went the extra mile in the purchase of our new home in Deltona, Florida. She is professional and knowledgeable: but more importantly, always there when there is a bump in the road to give me the proper guidance and assurances. I would recommend her to any one who is the home buying or selling market if you want a no-nonsense, hard-working woman who can get the job done!!! Special Lady....this Mary Michael Martin....a definite 10!!!!!!

We were from out of state so we needed to work with someone who understood our needs completely and Mary Michael did just that. In fact we switched to her after a disappointing experience with a previous realtor. Our first visit to the area we spent four days exploring all of our options with Mary Michael explaining which ones matched our needs best. She is professional in a friendly non affrontal way that made us very happy and I am always recommended her to anyone in need of a realtor.

Mary Michael Martin is the complete professional. She worked with my family through the whole purchase of the home we own. She not only a Pro but, also very patient and complete throughout a very long and tedious search and purchase. Others might thrown their hands up and walked away. I would recommend Mary Michael Martin to anyone interested in the journey of home buying and I have done so already many times. My purchase, through Mary Michael, has been and continues to be a great pleasure for my wife and myself. Scott Magowan 952 Springwood Circle Bradenton, Fl. 34212
