I take great pride in the fact that we are the top producing Real Estate Companies in Manatee County.</p> <p>I am a natural born Floridian and have lived on and around the water all of my life. This gives me a very unique prospective about Waterfront Properties because when I share information in this area "It's because I live it not just read about it."</p> <p>As a member of Rotary International, the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, and a Relay for Life contributor I truly do put "Service above Self".

My Team will do everything possible to make your home buying experience a smooth and stress free experience.</p> <p>My dad is a retired Manatee County Firefighter, so naturally I was raised to respect honesty, hard work and integrity. This is what I give to every customer and is probably the reason a major portion of my business is repeat customers.</p> <p>My Team works with everyone from first time buyers to investors and since I was born and raised in Manatee County my team has the necessary local contacts to make sure we provide you with the service you deserve.</p> <p>Your home may be one of the biggest investments of your life.

Mike Smoljanovich was wonderful to work with. He returned calls immediately, always had correct answers to questions and knows his business. Although the seller's agent was also with team Lester, the two agents worked together to make the seller happy and we as buyers, happy. We highly recommend Mike and Lester Real Estate.

My experience with Tim Lesters team was perfect, I was looking for a house in Fl and reached out to Tim months before I was heading there from Co. Tim stayed in touch but did not harrass me with followup calls. When I did arrive in Fl Tim teamed me up with Mike Smoljanovich. Mike had a list of properties lined up to show me per my request. Once I found the house I wanted, Mike negotiated the best possible deal for me. He was amazing from start to finish. I honestly feel I lucked out when I called Tim Lester

We chose Tim Lester Realty in Palmetto to help us find our new home in the Palmetto/Parrish/Ellenton area. Erin Barker was our buyer's agent and we couldn't have been happier. Erin expertly guided us through the search and responded quickly to every question or issue. She promptly replied to our numerous texts and calls, even when she was away on vacation. When we found the right house, Erin worked diligently to help secure the best deal. Erin also helped point us to local sources for services at the new home. We highly recommend Erin Barker and the team at Tim Lester- real estate done right!

I chose Tim Lester International Realty because I n Knew they were familiar with the area that I was interested in and they lived up to my expectations. I met with Mike Smoljanovich and he went right to work finding properties that fit my criteria. He was very efficient at setting up showings so that we could see several homes in a short amount of time, which I like, but never felt rushed and he was always on time. We found a buyer for my house and made an offer on a home that I liked and closed on both on the same day,same time and at the same location. It could not have been any easier. I know who I'm going to call when its time to sell and I can I highly recommend Mike and Tim Lester International Realty.

Mike Smoljanovich went above and beyond to help us find a beautiful home in West Bradenton. As I live in coastal NC, we emailed for months and were finally able to tour homes when my husband neared retirement. Although hubby delayed retiring, Mike kept communication open and Facetime toured our new home for us. We flew down and Mike made the entire process so much easier by wisely advising us during negotiations and ensuring that we found insurance as well as yard and pool maintenance. If you live in another state, contact Mike! Although we are 12 hours away, Mike took great care of us and was very low pressure. He wanted us to find the perfect location, and he fully delivered!
