ZillowVERIFIED Working with Sheryl was an absolute blessing. She helped us sell our mothers home in Venice, FL while coordinating with three siblings living all across the country aEUR" a challenge she handled with complete poise and confidence. From our very first call on December 21st, we immediately felt we could trust her. Two days later she had all three of us on a joint call, and by the time we met her in person on December 31st, she greeted us with the same calm, warm, always-smiling presence that carried us through the entire process. Sheryl exceeded every expectation. She personally attended every showing, ensuring our mothers home was represented with professionalism and care. She worked tirelessly directing and supporting to clean out and empty a full house, keeping everything organized and stress-free for us. Her recommendations for local partner, from the yard to painter (who also perfect fit), to selling and donations aEUR" were always spot-on. Her guidance on what updates to make, how to navigate the local market, and where to focus our efforts made all the difference. She told us I will tell you if we have to worry and that didn't happen. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the home closed by 87 days later! Sheryl is trustworthy, poised, professional, and genuinely committed to her clients peace of mind. She and her team exceeded our expectations at every turn. We could not have asked for a better partner during such a meaningful transition and recommend her wholeheartedly.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Sheryl to find our home in Florida was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought a great combination of professionalism, market knowledge, and patience to the process, which made what can often be a stressful search both smooth and enjoyable. Sheryl took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in a home and was incredibly thoughtful in helping us evaluate different properties and communities. She was always responsive, well prepared, and honest in her guidance, which we appreciated as we worked through the decision-making process. What stood out most was her commitment to making sure we found the right home rather than just any home. She was attentive to details, proactive in communicating, and consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything stayed on track. We are grateful for her expertise and support and would highly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Sarasota area.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl was a pleasure to meet and work with as she guided me through a tough real estate market. Our home is a unique property and Sheryl's sense to detail made all the difference. She has a great personality, outstanding market knowledge, and communicated with me throughout the sale of our home. Sheryl's expertise went well above just selling the house, she helped with advise staging and was able to use my personal belongings to capture the beauty of the house. I am very grateful for Sheryl , she somehow made this sale less stressful. I trusted her advise and we were fortunate to have found the right buyers for our beautiful home. Thank you Sheryl for all your hard work and kindness.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl VanDuren is a gem. She is s dedicated professional who did a fantastic job overseeing my condo purchase in Sarasota.

Review for Member: Sheryl VanDuren
ZillowVERIFIED There is a reason Sheryl VanDuren is the best realtor in Sarasota and as a first time buyer, she helped me every little step of the way. Sheryl is highly sophisticated in her communication and knowledge of the market. So much so that we connected very quickly and we were on the same page from the get go. Sheryl understood my needs and has a very personable touch: even before I really knew what I wanted in my home (location and type, etc.,) she helped me narrow it down quickly with regular weekly showings. She was extremely responsive, gave me great confidence in my choices and she made wonderful suggestions. She basically held my hand from the offer phase to the closing for which I am deeply grateful! Needless to say that I am thrilled with my home and I'm delighted to call Sheryl a friend now.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl had the patience to be our buying agent in a search that took us a couple of years to decide. She was always able to gain access to view properties as scheduled and was able to follow up answering any questions we had. When the decision was made she facilitated a quick and easy close. Sheryl went above and beyond handling final inspection, holding keys and getting furnishing delivered while we were out of state and could not be there. She also had some good contacts for insurance and local contractors. All in all she made sure that buying in Sarasota was a stress free and easy experience.

ZillowVERIFIED We started working with Sheryl in 2021 when we were exploring options for a vacation home. She quickly helped us to identify Siesta Key as our ideal location and found us a rare new build condo right on the beach. Her communication was excellent as we navigated the process from CT. She kept us calm and reassured during construction delays, even volunteering to have packages shipped to her home for us and offering to direct movers if we were unable to be here. Her contacts for lenders and attorneys were also superb. She made the whole process enjoyable! Two years later, we are now enjoying our luxury waterfront oasis. We couldn't have done it without Sheryl!

She is the best in the business, very supportive, understanding, helpful, and easily available. She made sure that we have all our checkpoints filled for our home and always gave me wise inputs. I would highly recommend her to be your next realtor. I would like to thank her again for all the help.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl is a consummate and practiced professional, always available, and always happy to hear from us. Our challenging close, on an older property, was handled flawlessly. With all of the possible pit-falls we miraculously closed on time, the first time. In retrospect we never really had anything to worry about. Sheryl is a heavy-hitter, an act-now no loose ends go-getter, a driven never-say-die property fitter. She simply knocked every curveball out of the park. Mark and Carolyn

ZillowVERIFIED It was a pleasure working with Sheryl. We nailed down the property in excellent area in no time due to her personable approach. We went into the multiple offers situation and came out with getting that property without paying over asking. To us it was truly an overall wonderful experience that Sheryl had created. She responded to our every need and covered every issue with grace. We keep in touch even after closing and she keeps helping us even though the deal is done. Highly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking for a great experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl was an incredible communicator and had a great team. We were never left to wonder what was going on with our purchase. We were unable to look at the place since we were out of state and Cheryl did a live walk through for us by social media on New Years Day. She was so detailed and picked up on things we would not notice our first time through. Then we couldnt make closing and she represented us so well. The unit came fully furnished and she made sure we only needed our toothbrushes when we moved in. we highly recommend her!!

ZillowVERIFIED My realtor in CT recommended we work with Sheryl as she is the best in the Sarasota area. And she certainly did not disappoint! Within 5 days of our first meeting, we were under contract for our dream vacation oasis. Sheryl was extremely helpful in guiding us toward the perfect location. She listened to our needs and only showed us properties that met those needs, so we werent overwhelmed. In fact, we thought it would take several trips to Sarasota to even identify a property, but Sheryl knew the market and found us the perfect home! She was extremely easy to work with-never pushy, but always willing to go the extra mile to have our questions answered promptly. Sheryl always answered our calls, emails and texts promptly. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us as we completed the process while in CT. On top of everything, she is a wonderful person. Dont even consider another realtor for Sarasota county-Sheryl will get the job done promptly with a smile on her face!

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl helped us immensely in not only narrowing down a location, but also the type of property. She was always willing to do whatever it took to help us, since we were out of state buyers. We remain in contact with her, and consider her a friend now. I cant imagine a realtor that could do any more than she did for us.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl convinced us that it was the right time to put our house on the market after we had unsuccessfully tried to sell it with other realtors. Buying and selling a house is always emotional but Sheryl helped reduce much of the stress. She was always positive and always available.We sold our house for a good price and then had a hard time finding a new one because the inventory was so low. Thanks to Sheryl?s resourcefulness we found the perfect house and couldn?t be happier.We can only highly recommend Sheryl.

ZillowVERIFIED My first phone call with Sheryl was attentive, respectful & assuring that she would follow up on my home search interests. She set up weekly listings to my email, & once I selected a home, we did a FaceTime walk through, as I live in Arizona. Sheryl acted quickly on my desire to submit an offer, & after my 2nd offer was accepted, she said I could call her anytime with any question. Her assistant, Lilianna, was another resource of help for me. Throughout the escrow process, I knew I could contact Sheryl, if I felt the need. We did another FaceTime walk through, on the day of closing, where she showed me every room with comments on cleanliness, carpet condition, window coverings, skylights, overhead lights & appliances. She also showed me the community parking area & where I will park my car. As a virtual buyer, Sheryls thoroughness was appreciated! Overall I view her as a good listener, good advisor, rather intuitive with a pleasant voice and truly an excellent agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl went way beyond to help us in our search foe a home in Florida. She spent lots of time with us, recommended places to see to get a feel for the area, did hours of behind the scenes work to make our brief stops in Florida the most productive. I can not imagine another real-estate professional making a greater effort. We also really enjoyed learning from her.

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl has helped me sell and buy two houses now. Both times I felt so comfortable in her vast knowledge of real estate, that I was able to relax and know that she would handle anything that came up. Her people skills are top notch and somehow or other, she manages to make sure everyones needs are met. You are in the best hands if you hire Sheryl as your representative when buying or selling a home. This is the truth: she is head and shoulders above any other real estate professional I have ever met or worked with.

ZillowVERIFIED Someone recommended Sheryl to us, and we feel so fortunate that we had her to walk us through our buying experience. Sheryl is the ultimate professional, yet she showed such genuine care and consideration for us throughout our experience. She always had a ready answer for all our questions, and her communication with us was impeccable. She always kept us updated, and worked hard to keep things moving forward. We had a few issues with our closing, but Sheryl was quick and aggressive in helping us to resolve them. We were so impressed that she was always on top of things, in control, and ready to go the extra mile to get the job done. She did so many little extra things for us that went above and beyond her job, and we are so grateful for her kindness. If you want an agent that is motivated, dependable, caring, yet tough and driven enough to get the job done, you need Sheryl Van Duren! Thank you, Sheryl, it was a joy to meet you and work with you!

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot praise Sheryl enough on how she helped me sell my condo and especially her negotiations on my new house. She is always cheerful and professional, explained all the details to me even when I had trouble understanding all the contract lingo. Sheryl is encouraging, sending texts, and messages checking on my progress with packing, calling me unstoppable! Her staging advice was beyond great. Her personal appraisal of my new house was so welcome and really helped me to know I was making the right decision. Sheryl has become a friend, not just a realtor whom I will never associate with again. I will be recommending Sheryl VanDuren to anyone asking for a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED We purchased a home that Sheryl found for us and it is absolutely perfect. She LISTENS when you tell her what you are looking for. We were out of town buyers and unfamiliar with the area. Her guidance was phenomenal. She navigated us through the purchasing process very smoothly and made sure everything was ready for us upon our arrival. She is professional, knowledgeable, capable and friendly. I highly recommend Sheryl and feel lucky that she was our realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED We used Sheryl for both the sale and purchase of a home and we could not recommend her highly enough! For the sale, she was on top of all the details that needed to be handled in a professional and efficient manner. She aggressively marketed the home in both the conventional ways and on social media and followed up thoroughly with all the interested parties. There was a lot of buzz about our home as it went up on the market and we sold our home quickly for the higher price range. I know this was due to her persistence, knowledge and expertise.We then bought our next home with her - she listened carefully to what we were looking for and made sure to show us homes that filled those needs. She was tireless as we looked at numerous homes and her enthusiasm never faltered. She advised us well with the eventual negotiation and purchase and even picked up the slack when the other realtor was unable or unwilling to get things done.Sheryl performs her job with honesty, integrity and tons of energy. We would use her again in a heartbeat!
